137-The snark o'clock whistle's on the blink. We haven't snarked and whadd'ya think? The durp is still on the S-D-M-B, so we don't know what the snark just happens to be.

Fixing title. Meanwhile, GO!
Title fixed.

[Someone]

FIRST!1!one!11!!eleven!!

[Someone]

Hey!

[Someone]

That's fixed? The original must have been a stinker on an astounding level. Now it's merely epic.

[Someone]

Not a clue.

[Someone]

How many of you knew that Paul and Paula never got married. I thought for sure they would have.

5 Giraffe bucks if you know why.

[Someone]

Stoid 100% started this thread because she wanted to show off her street cred with the Sammy Davis Jr. story. Too bad it got hijacked by that nutjob ZPG, it would be more entertaining to have someone call out Stoid.

[Someone]

All I can say about this title is that it's a good thing Fenris didn't put some post count limit on complaining about it*.






*Because it's really, really bad.

[Someone]

worst title ever!

[Someone]

Going back to the last few posts in the previous thread, I have no idea why people think DrDeth is female. He just posted last week that he looks like musician Kyle Gass.

Fenris. No more needs to be said.

Chlamydia? That would be my guess...

And so does his/her mother, so that's hardly dispositive.

ETA: Ok, the reason is because not quite a decade or so ago, he was always being coy about it. He was encouraging ambiguity. It's somewhere in the snark-threads about 2011 or 2012, I'm guessing. People found references to his dick, but the impression nevertheless remained.

BigTurd did it. That's last-thread's snark.

ETA: Oops. He called out ZPG, not Stoid. My fault. You were right.

I've heard about that, which does sound like the sort of asinine game he'd play with people.

What surprises me is that a few people still insist that he's female, despite nearly a decade of posts in which he describes using his penis to pee into urinals. Every time I think we've settled this issue once and for all, someone calls him "she" and the whole debate starts over.

At least he was definite about it.

I got that PM too, but I just rolled my eyes and deleted it. If I had known how infamous it was going to become, I would have kept it.

Some people who call him "she" just do it because it amuses them.

[Someone]

Which I don't get. Granted, we're in a forum dedicated to making fun of people on another messageboard, but haven't we moved beyond "hur hur hur he's a GIRL!" yet? As a female of the species, using it as an implied insult pisses me off, especially when the mouthbreather in question has so many snarkworthy qualities on his own.

Silly idiocy.

Like the Nonny post in last thread

And she's a moron when it comes to financial info. Any time there's a "what should I do with this money", she will always, 100% of the time, suggest they buy an annuity, and then bitch about all those financial advisors that hate annuities because they don't make them any money. ...

BTW the whole investment info has nothing to do with the subject of AML cert.

This. Not to re-litigate, but it's a bit like Granny Chance. Hur, hur.

Worst thread title ever, BTW.

[Someone]

I may have called Dumbth "her" once or twice but because up until this thread I wasn't sure. I've wanted to call IT "her" as a joke but didn't because I wasn't sure if people would think I thought the "hur hur he's a GIRL" part was funnier than the faux coming out messages.

But I'd prefer "they" overall. I occasionally use it even when I know someone's gender just because grammatical gender is stupid.

I don't think it's "hur hur he's a GURL!" as much as "Heh, the moron is being coy as hell about it's gender. They think they're being sooper-clever. " Carol "Man-hands" Stream got the same reaction.

[Someone]

However it's meant, that's how it comes across, and it's not fair to us female folks who aren't mouthbreathing chancres. So don't do it or I'll kabong you.

ETA the Carol Stream "man hands" bit mildly amused me at the time, but with greater trans awareness these days it's not amusing anymore.

Now that's unfair to chancres to compare him to them...

Still amounts to the same thing. "Won't tell us your gender? Okay, you're a GIRL hur hur." in the hopes that a male poster being coy will be insulted.

That troll stuck around for far too long. Carol Stream is a town in Illinois that had some major distribution centers. One of the companies I use to order from for work warehoused there. I think CDW maybe. I would guess that is where the person got the name from is one of the distributors.

Sorry for the boring interlude. Carry on with the snark.

That is completely untrue, ask anyone, my snark posts were always bland. I practically don't snark at all.

This a million times. He's male, enough with the debate already.

Guilty as charged. I saw someone correct someone in ATMB where Deth likes to put on HIS best BigT impression that Deth was female.

You're aware that we can make fun of Deth for as many fucking reasons as we like, right?

FEENY! Oh my god, wow. It's awesome to see you here again!

Also, I agree. It's way more fun to play with Stoid than it is ZPG. They're both nutcases, but ZPG is a hateful loon, whereas Stoid is just fucking bonkers.

[Someone]

Speaking of Stoid snark, does anyone remember the thread where she solicited opinions from male dopers about a relationship she was in? The title was something like "men, give me hope for this relationship". The gist of it was a guy ghosted her after a brief relationship (after she made a point of telling him she's perfect for no strings attached sex because she's not like those other women) and she then proceeds to go nuts trying to email, call, text til he replies. I think @hajario posted in the thread too. I can't seem to find it and it's driving me crazy.

[Someone]

Here we go:

Men with time to read all this…give me a little hope about this relationship, pleas

It's 2020. There is nothing to stop someone with a penis identifying as female. The question is how does this poster identify themselves. And if they don't choose to say, why not keep it neutral and use neutral pronouns? Or at least let's not obsess and guess.

That's an interesting thread for a couple of reasons. For some strange reason Happy Lendervedder bumped it with a snarky comment after nine years. Why?

Secondly, that thread was what led to a brief friendship between me and stoid. I have never met a Durper in person but she is one of two with whom I have had a phone conversation. I was recently divorced at the time so we talked about being back in the dating world in the digital age.

She also asked me for financial advice about her situation which led to the famous law suits. I tried to explain to her about how the house asset should be divided. I had literally gone through the same thing in my divorce a few months earlier and we are both in California. The other prong of her lawsuit was how to divide a business. A good friend of mine who owned a small consulting business was going through a divorce at the time and I put them in touch. He explained to her how it was done. There is a very standard way to do both but she didn't think that that applied to her for whatever reason hence the lawsuits.

Notice the date of that thread; late 2006. By the time that her appeal was done, the housing market had cratered and her particular internet business was worthless. Had she just been reasonable, she would have had a nice bankroll.

madsirdurp was the one who bumped it, to make a swipe at astro.

Because he thinks of himself as male, and has made it obvious, both before and after the time he was playing coy about it. it was only that couple of years where he was playing his dumbass game that he was anything other than straightforward about his gender identity. He was just DrDumbthing it up, for reasons only a moron like him can comprehend, for a couple of years by playing coy about it.
