[Singing] Somebody else didn’t Preeeeee-viewwwww… AGAIN.
The perfect doper is like the pefect flavour - just water and LSD.
Did anyone else think this thread was going to explore what made one a prominent member of the Doper community?
Anyhoo, I think we are largely a group of “hand-raisers.”
We are all fairly likely to start a sentence with the word “Actually…”
Father?
I don’t think any of us have ever said “This isn’t worth arguing about…”.
Oh man, I have so been called on that before. But really, it should be "
Actually…. I say we all just have the overwhelming need to win debates IRL. Personally, I use SDMB as my own personal think tank.
One Word:
Cite?
So is it your responsibility to change the filter?
Sing it, sister!!!
witty. intelligent. curious. funny. sarcastic. factual. argumentative. smartassy. unrelenting. facinated with zits and poop.
Masochism?
Well, some of us change into giant aquatic sea creatures after the age of 35. So there’s that.
We look different. We act different. A sizable percentage of us probably smell different.

Takes a Doper to make or catch references like that, I’d say.
Welcome, Pope R, glad to have you with us.
Cafe Society is for art and entertainment. I’m going to move this to ATMB forum, just to see what happens.
glances around
Aw, man, the walls changed colours again.
Anyway, as to why one feels so comfortable here, it’s probably because most of us are here for the same reasons - to learn, and some to teach. Actually, pretty much what Shirley said.
As for what makes a Doper stand out… oh, I don’t know. Sore thumbs?
An erection?

I would definitely say curiosity. It takes a good amount of curiosity to search for an answer to one of Cecils questions and then end up finding this place.
Which is what makes the board so great. Almost no topic is not worth discussing here. If you take away the curiosity we’d be nothing.
Lets also not forget that true doper is able to create a lame pun in response to any post. ;j
