That happens to me _all the time_… “Ya know, there was a thread on {such-and-such a subject} on the SDMB…” And now that I’ve converted a few of my friends to the boards, I carry on all sorts of conversations with them that my other friends have absolutely no clue whatsoever to their content… BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

[sub]Sorry, carry on…[/sub]

Oh, and I’ve been using “Dopeisms” in my daily conversation, like “dreck” (well, it’s a Dopeism for me!) and “Hi Opal” and references to “famous” threads [sub] **Dragon Shadow** never lets me forget the time I tore up Rue DeDay’s house with Zoogirl and Bobkitty…[/sub], thus bringing the conversation to a screeching halt as I explain to the ignorants precisely what the reference means. :fond :rolleyes::

[sub]What a way to spend my 1000th post. No post count parties for me, thank you very much… once was enough.[/sub]

I do what I can to validate one person, every day.

I didn’t expect this thread to come back up. It’s weird. But a good weird!

I was talking about my cat problem (he shreds the toilet paper) to a co-worker the other day and had to explain where I heard a great idea. I think she was a little taken aback.

No, I have never done this too. 🙂
