Oh man, I hadn’t even seen that one, mouthbreather. Jesus, he isn’t exactly hiding it, is he? That tripe alone is enough for a serious flamefest. But we know that doesn’t help in keeping him away. What we want to know is: what WILL keep him away? I honestly don’t know. ---

I would love to undersatand it better. \*\* **lee** , Back in December, he had a long, drawn out post in [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=8860) thread about what men like during sex. Look for the post by “MarkSerlin” Here are the 2 gems: > [@](#): > > ‘Big or puffy’ hair can hang around a woman’s face like an ethereal halo, shining, sparkling and accenting her looks tremendously. (The woman who takes extra time to do her hair before sex, in my book, is a real PLUS!) and > [@](#): > > “Also, not ALL guys like the ‘natural scent’ down there, so a scented douche or some lightly applied perfume can work wonders.” What a smooth talker. :rolleyes: Anyway, “poofin yer hair and spraying your crotch with perfume” became a running gag on the board. ---

I will (not give him, I’m not about to give him anything) acknowledge this. He inspired one of the funniest series of posts I’ve ever seen. Arnold Winkelreid’s christian bookstore series. ---

It’s all in [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=30135), douglips. Arnolds Parody doesn’t start on the first page though, but for pure _Soft and Hard Core Porn Fantasies_ from **PlanetSerlin** , read all posts by **PRISM02** , Serlins incarnation at that point. Skribbler is out posting like a madman, yet somehow he keeps missing this li’l thread. Weird, huh 😉 ---

He knows he’s found out, he’s just milking this newest name as much as he can. I wonder what other user names he already has made…shall we star _another_ Mark Serlin screen name contest? ---

I feel a bit foolish saying I never even opened that thread when it was around but I have to give credit where it’s due and, **Arnold** , that was completely wonderful - the best total and sustained demolition I’ve witnessed on a MB. Actually, that whole thread really is a remarkable roller coaster. Serlin riding high on a wild fantasy, then the ladies come in and start ripping into him, then Arnold takes it to another level, I felt exhausted after reading it. Phew ---

We’ve reported this problem to the programmer, and perhaps it will be fixed on the next upgrade. In addition, we can’t do it to certain people because they don’t have fixed IPs. And Ed and TubaDiva won’t let me put my alternate plan into effect, which is to turn the whole problem over to my cousin Vinnie. Vinnie is low tech, but he’s very, very effective. ---
