I should play the inspirational character with a disability who overcomes it.

“You underestimated me, **ZackHail88** , because I have no sense of smell, but you made one fatal error. You let me _see_ the sock puppet.”

When **ZackHail88** registers next week, I’ll try to remember this.  
But there might be a few clues anyway.

If you’re still looking for a custom title, may I suggest “The Anosmic Avenger”?

Isn’t the proper term ‘[smell blind](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/P-kwEeMz-Oc/)’, at least according to my favorite biopic?

Okay, do we believe that someone doesn’t know the word “wagon”?

Yes, I believe it.

But I’m not sure I believe that said person could successfully sign up on a message board though and post the question.

I forget words sometimes, although I don’t ask a messageboard to help me with it. Usually I figure it out myself with the help of the anonymous Internet (e.g., Google).

Sure, but you have to know about Google to do that. I would assume a lot more people know about the SDMB than some obscure search engine.

My life has been remarkably better, and my investment portfolio has gone stratospheric, since I made SDMB my default ~~browser~~ search engine.

Baaack to our thread, I have someone to watch, but at this point (1 post) suspect weird blow in rather than troll or trock, but it meets our patterns.

New poster **Biph** ’s first post, is to revive a 2 year quiescent thread about Songs that Would have Been as big a Hit if sung by someone else. Jumps into said mostly dead thread to express their disgust at the thought of Daltry instead of Plant as the singer in Led Zepplin.

Again, this is with all of a few minutes of total read time, and our usual patterns. Still for the moment suspecting some blow in Daltry hater, because otherwise WHY pick a fight in such an obscure and dead thread, but figured it bears mentioning. To be clear, I don’t think they’ve done anything even vaguely actionable yet, or I’d have flagged it.
