I am sorry. If I’dknown it was a private thing, I wouldn’t have asked, but I enjoy that web page and I don’t know why they even showed the photo.

Please tell us the story of where you got your Amazing Psychic Powers, and tell me where I can get some too. Those come in real handy.

I guess being a 99’ers elevates one to SDSAB? Or it stands for Straight Dope Sabbatical A-Broad? Or maybe just the mental telepathy demonstrated in Posts 10 and 38 that gave him the leg up? Or perhaps his re-definition of the words “factual observation” to mean something like we used to call “personal opinion” in the old days in Post 26? Maybe it was his ‘I’m not going to respond anymore’ in Posts 10 and 11, followed by his response in Post 26?

What do I need to do to make it to this exalted level?

Oh, I’d have to give a damn about a Board management that hands out these titles to loons and re-up, I guess.

Being a '99er gets you nothing, as far as I can tell.

I’m curious if I get anything for being an M-doper, though.

I guess if you want to know about exhaltation, Monty can help you there.
