What comprises a doper...

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

What are dopers made of? Besides, blood, sweat, guts, tears, and a quest to know the whereabouts of their hermit crabs?

Let’s find out!!

Here’s my list as it stands:

[li]A love of the “Simpsons”[/li]
[li]Healthy respect and need for science fiction[/li](Emphasis on Douglas Adams but not limited to)

[li]Being a fan of movies no one else off the board knows.[/li]
[li]Adoring hugs.[/li]
[li]Caring about their dogs, cats, and misc.[/li]
[li]Admiration for the horror genere[/li](Emphasis on SK but not limited to)

[li]Knowing how to felch, but knowing better than to do so (in public anyways)[/li]
And of course,
[li]Bowing down to Cecil Adams[/li]
Add to the list?

Okeydokey, this one puts me completely out.

I don’t care about Cecil Adams. Not one iota. I don’t read the books, I don’t read the column. I don’t even read anything here except the board.

I just know you guys are awesome. That’s all that matters to me.

I may not be a Doper, but you are a cool crowd.

AAAAAAUUGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!

That should be “What does a Doper comprise?”

::beating self with multiple rubber hoses::

Scarlett, the very foundations of my psyche have been shaken. But I’ll get over it and so will you.

:wink:

14

Heh. Speak for yourself. :wink:

But seriously, I hate it when I do that!

[giggle] I know. :wink: Ain’t doper life grand?

Knowing that you really meant “genre,” but being far too cool to actually point it out. :smiley:

Most Dopers also have a deep and abiding love for MST3K.

17

Hi-Keeba! :slight_smile:

(Yep, I’m a Mistie but I’ll be damned if I’ll ‘keep circulating the tapes’.Get your own MST3K fix.)

18

Damnit! Genre, genre, gen- I mean…::brushes self off:: That is obviously what I meant, but I am conversing with internet users of a certain caliber, who, I am sure, are above small typing errors. :slight_smile: Of course.

  1. Knowing far too many Monty Python skits and movies.

  2. Being able to adjust your writing style for the “No typing ‘n’ in this thread”, with ‘n’ being a letter, word, or what have you.

  3. Objecting to post count parties, then starting your own.

Willingness to wait 45 minutes for each thread to load… :stuck_out_tongue:
