We have been mentioned in "This is TRUE"

I am posting here because it’s about the Straight Dope board.

Mr. Randy Cassingham who publishes a great news letter called “THIS is TRUE” had mentioned us as his BONZER WEB SITE OF THE WEEK. I would post the excerpt from his news letter but I subscribe to the Premium edition which can not be forwarded. The free edition will come out Friday night. His Bonzer site is located at http://www.bonzersites.com/

He also references http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a2_149.html in his discussion on the peace symbol.

Hey Manny!

That’s how I found out about the greatest board in the world: a link.

Awesome Dude!

Q

Our reputation grows by leaps & bounds…
…thus, our Evil Plan is Coming To Pass!

Exxxccceeelant…

Um, “Bonzer” is good, right? :o

I noticed this morning, and was startled that Randy hadn’t mentioned us before! He’s directed me to many a great site. :slight_smile:

Now, explaining the torrent of new activity to the hamsters …

Yep from his site http://www.bonzersites.com/ it says “Bonzer” is Australian slang meaning “great” or “excellent”.

Good as gold, I tell ya, good as gold.

Bonzer? I always thought it was Bonza. You live and learn.

No- the right response is “Bonzer is good? Hell, no, Bonzer is GREAT!”

:stuck_out_tongue:

Master plan for world domination, eh? Can I play?

Can you play?? Play?? This is no game, you fool! This is deadly serious business!

FIne. I’ll just take my world domination toys and go home. :wink:

No need to get all pissy. Just stop calling them “toys” and start calling them your “mechanisms of world domination”, and we’ll be fine. :cool:

This may have been my doing; I suggested the site as a Bonzer web site a year or two ago…I am no longer a premium subscriber, unfortunately, because I found that I was letting the unread Trues pile up…

Possibly, but I think it has more to do with the person who took him to task on his story about the peace symbol wreath and their ignorance of the origins of the peace symbol (hence his mention in the bonzer posting of SD being a good reference for the origins of the peace symbol). You can read about the whole story on Randy’s Blog: Peace Sign – This is True

So it’s possible that you’re suggestion was in the queue, but this guy may have sped up it’s placement. (From what I understand, he’s got a huge backlogs of Bonzer sites. Makes sense when you only post one a week and no doubt get at least dozens and maybe even hundreds of suggestions in a given week.)

Weird. I always thought it was Bonerz, like the dentist from The Bob Newhart Show.

Live and learn. :smiley:

Well good, but will this lead to hundreds of thousands of extra views, like when that Norwegian newspaper mentioned our thread ‘If so-and-so had written Lord of the Rings’?
