I'm a trusted DU'er and I'm available for advice.

[Ron Obvious]

In a recent survey, I was named 27th most trusted person in my neighbourhood.

So if anybody needs a trusted DU'er for advice, I'm available. No pressure or anything. I mean, don't worry about my feelings.

1. you want I should kick your advising ass, Ron Obvious?

JUST SAY THE WORD MY SWEET

[Ron Obvious]

2. That's sweet of you, Skittles.

Could you? I'd be ever so grateful.

3. Can you give me the low-down on what's going on in that thread?

It grew to monstrous proportions so quickly and after reading the OP, I missed the rest of the opening scenes. Now I don't have the time or patience to wade through it.



The OP itself seemed kinda... snobbish?! Certainly seems to indicate there's a hidden clique-group thang happening (and clearly I'm not in it, not that I'd wanna be... those kinds of groups are usually not my style).

[Ron Obvious]

5. Not me.

I'm the guy standing on the edge of any social circle with an uncertain smile on my face, not knowing whether people are laughing with or at me.

8. I'm a curmudgeon and usually walk away as soon as the circle starts forming

At least you try to hang in there. I don't even try.



I just can't fathom what else is going on in that thread that's made it grow so big. Was it to make a point that "we" (anyone outside the "trusted" ones) are "untrustworthy" (or second-rate somehow)?

I suppose if I really cared I'd open it up and try to wade through it but it seems so pointless....

14. I'm having flashbacks

This place is just like Junior High School sometimes.

10. How many people are in your neighborhood?

[Ron Obvious]

12. 28

The woman next door is suspected of having murdered her vanished husband some years ago, so the trusted person competition was not fierce.
