What does a bit player in the two-bit documentary "The Mission is
Possible" have to do with what Barbara was talking about?
--
"Danked," the past participle of "dank", is used to refer to someone
who replies to his own post on an online forum posing as another person
(see "Internet sock puppet") but forgetting to change his username . . . .
This was an act of stupidity meriting a name of its own, and because the hapless
contributor's username was Danks, the term "dank" or "danked" emerged.

We knew you had a high opinion of yourself, but I for one thought you
wouldn't admit it so blatantly.
Maybe you would care to explain what's so special about you.

Good news: She's alive and well and living on the coast of NC.
She did not burn out, but rather once had a lot of time on her

I'd post her location for an arkple, but I think I want her all

And why he's referring to himself in quotes, and in a mixture of first
and third persons?
Such habits are normally expected only from the dank. |
