I assumed you lived near Baltimore or DC, or at the very least Montgomery County. You'd probably think you went back home if you came over here.

I'm in Carroll County, but it borders Balto county, and I work in Crack-imore.
I take offense at the handles ascribed to people based on the number of posts they have contributed. "Half Dork", "Dork", "Power Dork", etc. This is clearly poking fun at "stupid, inept, or foolish" (def.) people, which is offensive and needs to be stopped.
In reply to volvoclearinghouse:
I saw. I don't know what it is about MD, but there's a ton of people from SC around here.
I take offense at other people's use of "I". As that word/letter pertains to ME, I am deeply offended that anyone other than I could even think to use it.
The history of dork is a short one. It’s been around only since the 1950s or 60s, originally as a slang term for “penis.” Most likely dork was just an alternative form of dick, a word that started out as a nickname for Richard—a name meaning “fellow”—but which by the late 1800s, had taken on the additional meaning of “penis” (which is certainly part of a fellow) in British army slang. By the late 60s, American college students had extended the meaning of dork to refer to a socially awkward person. While at first this sense of dork carried pejorative connotations, the term has since been “taken back” by the people it once so cruelly described, and now can even be given as a compliment. If a girl calls a guy “adorkable” (the combination of “dork” and “adorable”), she means to say he is cute in a socially awkward, yet endearing way. Geeks and nerds, while still dorky, are generally considered more intelligent than dorks. For example, a Nerd could program a Megasquirt injection system for a 13B rotary, while a Dork generally, cannot.

Did you tell him you didn't want a Jeep and everybody in the dealership keeps telling you which Jeep you should get?

Ah, I see, you're over by the big weird dam on the susquehanna.

We're shipping all our liberals up north as fast as we can. Damn if they aren't like super balls. They are just old when they bounce back.
