Thanks very much, Davebear! I just wanted to add that I’m glad this thread exists, so I can answer in case I never appear on Inside the Actor’s Studio. And since I’m not acting much these days, I guess the safety net is a good thing. 
“Now I know you read Dante and thought that Heaven seemed pretty boring. Fortunately, he got it all wrong. How many times can you have people sing your glories to you before it gets boring? I’m happy when you all are. An exact copy of your girlfriend and a set of redheaded Asian lesbian twins with big boobs are in your room with chocolate syrup and whipped cream. Oh, and you can fly.”
While snapping to attention: “Welcome back, SIR!”
Oh good, will you please take care of your daughter now? She’s been getting on our nerves a little.
Toilets that way.

Perhaps, Marley, you need to brush up on your definition of same before you accuse. I didn’t induce nor try to recruit. Simply stated my opinion…that IS the purpose of this board, right?
“That’s OK. I know you didn’t mean it.”
I’m doing another:
“Pleased to meet you. Hope you guessed my name.”
On second thought…
Nope, the purpose of the SDMB is to fight ignorance. Don’t believe me? Read the banner on the main page.
IMHO is a diversion from the main goal (which, BTW, is only truly pursued in GQ) in that it allows people to state opinions. It does not allow people to pick fights or campaign for the One True One and Only. We have the BBQ Pit for that.
“Gotcha ya!!”
Let me take you to your Goddess. She’s my boss you know. Put in a good word to her for me, okay?
“So… what did you think?”
“You thought all the hard questions would just be answered now? With no effort on your part? Where would be the fun in that?”
Dude!! Come on in, we got some really 1337 games to play!
And you’re gettin’ a Dell!!
