Unexpected attacks of the Dope

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

So I’m flipping the channels last night and come across The MC Hammer Story on VH-1 last night. I was compelled to stop and watch for a minute, naturally, and without thinking about it, starting singing…

“uh oh, uh oh, uh oh uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, uh oh uh oh, here comes december!”

…which Biggirl posted on the temp board a while back. It would seem the board has taken over my subconscious, as well as my work computer. This isn’t the first time it’s happened. I passed a Wayfarers-wearing pretty boy the other day and thought, “Risky McSuntan!” from Lux Fiat’s post.

Tell me this happens to others. Please?

Nope, Gundy, sorry, you’re the only one…

:rolleyes:

3

Gosh. Well, guess I can close this thread now. Thanks.

4

I thought the tread was Unexpected attacks of the Pope. I’m rather let down now.

5

thread thread thread thread

Just testing my “h” key. GRRR.

6

Do you mean stuff like catching yourself from saying “Well, we were discussing this on the Dope the other day…” in just about every conversation? Cause that never happens to me.

7

I say “I was talking to a guy in Australia last night…” and the people in my office look at me like I’ve grown a nipple in the middle of my forehead.

Or maybe I’m thinking of someone else…

Well, there have been the times that I’ve mentioned this board to my RL friends, and they think I"m nuts! :eek: Suppose it’s a good thing that I’ve never mentioned any of the in-jokes or catch phrases to them! (like the infamous OG SMASH, for example)

However, I admit that I did buy Haagen-Dazs ice cream (though not Ben & Jerry’s, yet) and raw cookie dough solely on the basis of reading the threads associated with these items. Guess I’m more suggestible than I thought I was! :stuck_out_tongue: Really, though, I’ve come to trust a certain measure of your opinions, and consider you my friends. :slight_smile:

Uh, me either! :wink:

A few weeks ago a (lesbian) co-worker was telling me about her new toaster. I blurted, “Did you get that for converting your girlfriend?”

OK, I know it’s a fairly common joke, but I did hear it first on the Board.

11

BWAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

I can see it, the fox special “When Popes Attack Volume VI”

12

Whatcha gonna do when they baptize you?

Bad popes.

Bad popes.

13

Thanks to the Dope, I can’t say coworker or co-worker in my head. It’s now always cow-orker. Fortunely, I’ve managed to keep this contained in my head so I don’t have to explain it.

14

“Gotcha Ya!” took some explaining, I’ll tell ya’
Fortunately, my friends already knew I’m insane.

15

I always hear the lovely and fragrant Gwen Stefani singing “Jarbaby, Jarbaby - Hey!”

A significant number of my conversations include a sentence similar to “There’s a message board I belong to where we’ve been talking about…”

16

Oh yes. Same here. Then I usually have to explain that “Straight Dope” doesn’t have anything to do with drugs. Oh, and try and tell them about a Fest…well, it just makes them want to avoid this board like the plague. Which is fine, because don’t much care for my colleagues anyway. :slight_smile:

This one time, on this message board…

It happens to me all the time. My family thinks I’m nuts! :smiley:

18

It’s all just too hard to explain, so I find myself involved in a little white lie all the time which starts off:

“Well I was talking to these people the other day…”

Typing, talking, whatever.

19

oh we discussed this ona message board i read

and if people ask about it … " its a general purpose message board covering tons of subjects "

and I say cecils answerrs " general knowledge and science and history question"

Yay! I feel so validated.
