I love it! We're all "guests" because we aren't registered on

Just reading the name Straight Dope brought back memories. Aunt Chickie
used to telephone me, when she was tanked up, to ask what was going on
with the family, she would say, "Give me the straight dope." You
couldn't soft-pedal anything with Aunt Chickie. There are so many
relatives I miss during the holidays.

Looks more like Cecil Adams hit the big time, mentioned on R.F.C.

Or, where is his post to the hot dog thread? Is he still trying to
figure out the difference between usenet, and a web site that rips off
usenet?

So where is his post on the hot dog thread then? Or maybe he won't
participate unless he is being paid. That is probably the case if
he is so much smarter than us.
