What makes a Doper stand out?

Actually, I feel really uncomfortable here. But that’s why I stay.

Didn’t I see you at The Home Depot?

By-the-by, has anyone recently done a thread asking how everyone *did * end up here?

I have one of those.

Also, you can stand out by attention whoring. Not that I would ever do such a thing. Certainly not. Please ignore me.

I think I can sum Doperdom up in one word: nit-pick.

[sub]I am setting the joke up for you.[/sub]

[snarky tone] You really didn’t need to use a hyphen, there! [/snarky tone]
Thank you!

This is not quite what you are looking for, but it is close.

Quick poll: when you were in school, did you ever want the teacher to call on you so badly that you said “oooh! oooh!”?

Indeed, close, but …

Gonna start my own :slight_smile: Thanks, Scott!

What makes a Doper?

When you can dress up as Darth Vader at a Shakespeare festival, find “Hamlet” on stage, bow down to him and say,

[Vader]::ssssshhhhhhhwhooooooooo:: “What is thy bidding, Master?”[/Vader]

Not that I’ve ever done that, or anything.

Tripler
Really, I haven’t.

I have.

Well, not exactly.

I was dressed up like Heidi and it was at a biker bar downtown.

[sings] I could’ve danced all night…

There’s a mental image I could have done without. :smiley:

Only if she was giving out candy. :rolleyes: [sup]Which I don’t believe ever happened.[/sup]

i wear my straight dope t-shirt to bed every night to make me feel safe from 1920’s style death rays. that’s what makes a doper, i think

My guess is, its not us, its you.
Why would you hang around a place you didn’t like? Why would you voluntarily interact with people who didn’t “get” you? Or those you didn’t "get?
Naw, its you, not us. 'Cause we’re (almost) perfect.
:smiley:

pinkfreud, you’re not the oldest! I am! Not really, there are fosillized Dopers here. I just have a little dry rot:D

Back in middle school, on the last day, the teacher kept giving out box(not bag) after box of spare presidental visit M&Ms left from a few year ago, from a diffrent school.

Eh? I’d appreciate your saying that a bit louder, and aiming it at my ear trumpet… :stuck_out_tongue:

I turned 59 in June. :smack: I say “huh?” so often, my friends think I’m learning a new language.

This is in my profile but I think it applies to ALL Dopers:

Intelligent, brave, handsome and extremely modest LOL

:smiley:

Hard to do while you’re rocking back and forth like that.
