It’s a parody dialogue between a radio personality and his callers. Where shall I post it? Shall I use his real name? I will label it a parody, by the way. I was thinking I should put it in the Pit, but it’s supposed to be amusing rather than contentious, so I was thinking maybe it should go in IMHO or MPSIMS. Any advice appreciated. Apologies if this is in the FAQ; I read the part about how parodies of other threads should have links in them, but this isn’t a parody of an SDMB thing. ---

MPSIMS, definitely. And no, I wouldn’t use his real name. Use some name that’s close enough to be obvious who it is you’re talking about. ---

Actually, I hadn’t considered that. What exactly is teemings? ---

Cafe Society is probably the proper forum here. > [@](#): > > \*\*And no, I wouldn’t use his real name. Use some name that’s close enough to be obvious who it is you’re talking about. \*\* Nonsense. Assuming the radio personality is well known, and assuming **Boris B** will clearly indicate the post is a parody (as he stated in his OP here), there’s nothing wrong with using the real name. You _could_ use a name that sounds like it for humourous effect, but there’s no rule or law that forbids the use of real names in parodies. Hope this helps, **Boris**. ---

I am God, Coldfire. I have all the answers, most definitely. Sorry you didn’t get the memo. \<\< hollers down to angelic typing pool \>\> \*\*All right– who didn’t copy the Netherlands?\*\* 😛 ---
