I'm nobody! Who are you? Are you nobody too?
It's been established that you're my sock puppet, sick. Would you just can it with the attention-grabs already?

What's your name? Who's your Daddy? Is he rich like me?

I'm nobody, too - but I can still keep an eye on you.

Don't tell. They'll banish us, you know.

(That being said, I cannot stand Emily Dickinson.)

So a rabbi is offering a sermon to the people gathered for the Sabbath service and he says:

"Listen, please try to understand, I am nobody, I am nothing, I stand before you only because it is G-D's will that I am here, I exist only as a manifestation of his will and all good things that I do or anyone does in this world are because of G-D. I am nobody."

After the service, the front row types, the heavy givers, the company owners and the successful are shaking his hand and saying "Yes, Rabbi, so inspiring, I am nobody, too." and finally the janitor of the temple makes it through the crowd and he's so excited and moved by the rabbi's speech and he grabs his hand and says "Oh rabbi, yes, I am nobody, I am nobody." He walks off then, moved almost to tears. One of the businessmen nudges the rabbi and says "Look who thinks he's nobody all of a sudden."

Thank you Sherman Oaks, Aka Paul Sepulveda aka Tim Powers.

Rufus and Charlemagne are down by the bayou. Rufus is out in a boat.
"Whatcha got there, Rufus?", said Charlemagne.
"Some Gator Ade", said Rufus.
"Whatcha gonna do with that there Gator Ade, Ruf?", said Charlemagne.
"Ahm a fixin' ta catch me some gators", said Rufus.
"You goddamn moron. You don't know nuthin'. You can't catch gators with Gator Ade", said Charlemagne.
"Watch me", said Rufus.
A few hours later, Rufus appears at the dock with his boat so laden down with gators that it's almost sinking. They're hanging off the side, and being dragged off the back, too.
"Well I'll be...." said Charlemagne.

Next day, Rufus is out in the boat again.
"Whatcha got there, Rufus?", said Charlemagne.
"Some duck tape", said Rufus.
"Whatcha gonna do with that there duck tape, Ruf?", said Charlemagne.
"Ahm a fixin' ta catch me some ducks", said Rufus.
"You goddamn moron. You don't know nuthin'. You can't catch ducks with duck tape", said Charlemagne.
"Watch me", said Rufus.
A few hours later, Rufus appears back at the dock with his boat so laden down with ducks that it's almost sinking. They're hanging off the side, and being dragged off the back, too.
"Well I'll be...." said Charlemagne.

Next day, Rufus is out in the boat again.
"Whatcha got there, Rufus?", said Charlemagne.
"Some Turtle Wax", said Rufus.
"Whatcha gonna do with that there Turtle Wax, Ruf?", said Charlemagne.
"Ahm a fixin' ta catch me some turtles", said Rufus.
"You goddamn moron. You don't know nuthin'. You can't catch turtles with Turtle Wax", said Charlemagne.
"Watch me", said Rufus.

"Well I'll be...." said Charlemagne.

Next day, Rufus is out in the boat again.
"Whatcha got there, Rufus?", said Charlemagne.
"Some pussy willow", said Rufus.
"Hold on, I'll get my hat", said Charlemagne.

That's crazy, lenny. Who would want to do a crazy thing like that?

Crazy.

"I'm nobody"
"I'm nobody too"

So you're both nobody's sock puppet? Or is one of you just nobody?

I'm somebody!
I'm the guy who came up with a title for a blog on movies.com!

I can die happy, knowing there'll be something in my obit.

I love the fantastic work that nobody did, almost completely unnoticed, starting here (you'll have to read all the way to the end, and then follow the links through several threads). There's some great stuff, like this. Although I was disappointed in the ending.
Indeed jimchee. MetaChat could really use <marquee> sometimes.
At least we have the big tag.

That's sweet kimchi; thanks for bringing it to nobody's attention.

My favorite sock puppet was when I got the username Jesus_Christ over on BeliefNet. I'm sure I'll burn in hell for that.... In fact, I made well over 10,000 posts on BNet under several aliases. From the post where I came clean:
Paul_H, my username for nearly 10,000 posts.
redwings1962, my original username based on an email address.
HumbleInFaith, another attempt to retire Paul_H; I posted as HIF for several months.
DontReadThis, okay, *that* one was an obnoxious sock puppet.
jersus_christ, sock puppet
The-Walrus, sock puppet that was a play on words: from the Beatles song, "The-Walrus was Paul".
Paul_the_Lukewarm, a response to a conservative right winger that accused me of having lukewarm faith.
JayZus, sock puppet
Jezus, sock puppet
Jesus_Christ, I was shocked that no one had signed this name out!
towagan, I liked the sound of tawonda's name, and towagan was adapted from my hometown.
Max_Power, Homer Simpson's alter ego.
MaxPower, I think I tried to sign on as the above and couldn't remember the password so created this one.

Anyway, BNet now officially dislikes alter-egos, so all of these wonderful usernames have been disabled.

And in the future, I am,

I don't have a sock puppet. I don't even have socks.
posted by jonmc 26 October | 16:18
Don't lie to me, jon. I know you have socks. Stained, white athlectic socks, mostly under your bed. Right?
posted by Specklet 26 October | 16:25
I had them once, but I used them all up wiping up spilt beer, or blowing my nose.

And yes, they all were white tube sox.

I have over 25,000 sock puppets on Mefi.

That explains a lot, doesn't it?
