The Bizarro Dope, your direct line to thousands of the worst dipsticks on the planet, plus a few smart, hip people." That and everyone goes “huh?” after a Monty Python reference. ---

In the words of Bizarro Nephew-Cece #A: “Us hate learning! Us love ignorance! Us do things backwards of Cecil Adams way!” Everybody hates Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Because it’s too hard to count to “9, 9.” Any time someone uses an injoke like, “Once, in ‘Rio’ by Duran Duran, for twenty minutes,” it’s remarked upon in confusion by several persons. Mod warnings for not using rude words in posts. **Sagesguinea** , most beloved of all Dopers, He-Who-Breathes-Life-Into-Threads, \*always \*reads the thread first. ---

There are often threads started about the widespread racism and sexism during the 60s, and how it’s so great that we’ve moved on from that kind of systematic, institutional discrimination and haven’t glorified it in any way. Oh, and isn’t it wonderful how parents are so attentive to their children nowadays? You’ll always see Mom or Dad sitting on a bench by the park while their kids play. No more senseless accidental deaths of children that scar their families and ruin lives. Man, the 21st century sure is great. ---

- “We’ll be offline for a few hours tonight, while we move the SDMB to a faster server, and upgrade to the latest version of XenForo.” - “Fedoras and trilbys look really stupid. I don’t know why anyone would wear one, with the whole neckbeard persona they’re attached to.” - “Free refills of fries at Applebee’s? NOM NOM NOM. Sounds great, but I really have to watch what I eat.” - “I agree with everyone else. If you aren’t going to read those old travel books again, just recycle them.” - “I just bought a new TV!” ---
