I tried a while back to to start **The Man Buffet** –essentially a group of fabulous, recently jilted guys entirely available for abuse. As far as I know we’re all still available, but most have walked off the menu. Losers. Still, I’m sure we’ll all appear at some time aboard _The Bloody Rag_ with **Anaamika** at the helm on _Talk like a Pirate Day._

I think you can simultaneously be part of several gangs. I am a Cool Kid, I _think_ I’m part of someone’s harem (although I don’t remember her name), and if there’s a Tolkien thread I’ll be lurking and listening to **Quadqap** , **rogerthornhill** , **Malacandra** , and **jayjay**.

Oh, and **jsgoddess** and I are usually both in the fantasy lit threads.

Is there a Doper Historic Clothing posse? **Miss Pearl** and **Guin** tend to be in historic clothing threads with me.

I’m guessing it’s not a Grammar Nazi Gang. 😃

I belong to a loosely-associated bunch of Armchair Psychologists - always ready to lend a sympathetic ear, mis-diagnose your problem, and give you advice worth what you’re paying for it. Our gang name is **I Can Clearly See Your Nuts**.  
[/QUOTE]

And you don’t belong to the Punctuation Nazi Gang, right? 😉

Unless your gang likes to look at men wearing [these](http://www.boratonline.co.uk/) (top pic).

Well, holding it in front of me definitely makes _me_ look smaller in comparison, so I’d say that 20 pound monster is full-grown.

Hey, there’s a new diet idea. Just walk around holding huge, obscuring instruments and you’re bound to look thinner!

See, it’s a play on words from that old joke (and one of my all-time favourites) - I thought it would dilute the joke if I posted both versions (I can clearly see your nuts/I can clearly see you’re nuts). But I would totally belong to the Punctuation Nazi Gang, if they’d only have me. You put a comma outside the quotes one time…

You know, I worried that I was missing an obvious joke. But it did allow me to post that lovely picture… :dubious:

I am disappointed, here Tolkien is mentioned and both myself and \*\*Elendil’s Heir \*\* were left off. You will usually find us in the Tolkien threads.

BTW: \*\*rogerthornhill \*\* is gone, he was recently banned.

I’m not in a gang, and am unfortunately kind of a loner out here in the electronic ether of the Internet.

However, if I were in a gang, we’d call ourselves _ **THE REGULATORS** _.

As a matter of fact, if you ain’t in a gang, but wanna join my posse, just drop me a note.

Ya gotta bring your own guns though. Horses will be provided. . .
