I heard that after a bear takes a shit, he wipes his ass with a little bunny rabbit. Only then will he point and laugh. ---

At least someone got my reference, and didn’t think “what a jerk”. ---

oldscratch: And Arnold, I will definetely keep you updated. I’ll also do my best to do anything to resole any lingering doubts you might have regarding my gender. Rasa: If you need references or character witnesses, scratchie, let me know. Me: Are you sure you know everything Rasa? Remember Brandon Teena! ---

Actually, if it does turn out that I do exist I’ll probably get over it. In reality if a bear caught me in the woods and that was all he did to me I’d be relieved. Actually the bear would be too.

**oldscratch** , Actually, I’m quite an intelligent fuck, and I know about your Raggedy Ann because the little family that lives in your pills and work down at the laundromat came over for one of my famous “dinner and an orgy” parties last night, and while one of them whipped another one’s tiny ass with a tiny little whip, he told me that you FUCKING HAVE A RAGGEDY ANN! So it’s settled, really. …I should probably consider either more drugs or less, and I don’t know which… ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by kunilou \* > So, fellow Dopers, what is it that makes some posters inspire the rest of us to add our thoughts and further the discussion, while some of us seem to kill the enthusiasm as soon as our name goes on? \*\* I wish I knew **kunilou,** Many’s the time I’ve labored long and hard to skillfully craft a post of unusual intelligence, sensitivity, and wit to lay before the masses, with expectations that, in front of computer screens across the world, readers were clutching their sides and rolling on the floor laughing, or were transfixed in awe of my brilliant insight, and what do I get? The dull, distant sound of a muffled _clank_ Ya ingrates! 😉 Actually, a lot of times I have an opinion, but I really don’t have anything **new** to add, so I don’t. I think that’s true for most dopers. After a thread has been around for a while, it kind of reaches critical mass, and expires of it’s own weight, or devolves into a vehicle for shameless flirting. **FairyChatMom,** how YOU doing? Anyway, **kunilou,** it’s not just **you,** It happens to all of us at one time or another. At least that’s what I keep telling myself. ---
