One of the problems when one Dobies a thread that's six months old is that whether one's link is funnier or not doesn't seem to matter. There should be a rule that any Dobie must be posted within a specific time-frame from the time the original thread is posted, and at the rate this forum moves, it should be a short time. Maybe a few hours.
But I still think you're among the funniest on the board, Jeff. Possibly in the number one spot, in fact.

Okay, so this one's a little low-brow, and the thread is an "old" one, but I had to post something so that I could say a few things:
Good rule, Papa Moose. Woops on my part. T. Analog Kid's was actually a little more artful than mine because he used the thread that he was Dobie-ing as the url for the Dobie. How often is that possible?
And Jon Boy, I woulda done the same thing except I couldn't find a good picture of Rosie ODonnell. You know, the one where she's got that butch haircut and she looks angry and hungry at the same time. That would've been pretty funny too.

That's definitely near the mark. However, the most offensive feedback is often no feedback at all.

A little while ago, I realized that I use the phase "roly poly" to refer to isopods, and since then I was curious I looked up pill bug.
quote:NOUN: Also called wood louse. also called regionally Regional doodlebug. 1. A small terrestrial isopod crustacean of the genus Armadillidium closely related to the sow bug and having a convex, segmented, flexible body enabling it to curl into a ball when disturbed. In this sense also called roly-poly. 2. A sow bug. In both senses also called slater.
USAGE NOTE: Many people, especially science teachers, like to make a distinction between pill bugs and sow bugs. According to this usage, a pill bug, or roly-poly, is a terrestrial isopod crustacean whose segmented body gives it the ability to curl up into a ball when disturbed. A sow bug is any of several similar looking creatures that lack this ability. In popular usage, however, the names pill bug and sow bug, along with a number of other popular names, are used to refer to any of these tiny segmented crustaceans that are often mistaken for insects.
Anyone else have fun entymology stuff to share?

I want to dobie that Hobbes thread but I can't think of anything. Well, nothing that doesn't involve "booty". And I think I've used up my demerits for the month.

I thought of this dobie and found the link but I just couldn't post it on the board by itself. Discretion would dictate not posting it at all but I am juvenile enough to ignore that decent thought.
Potentially offensive link. Nudity involved, do not open if easily squicked.
