(( I don't know if this tradition is unique to this forum or not, since I have not been active on many message boards ))

There are many Star Wars mailing lists out there which end all posts with a 'Darth joke' eg.

(( So all in all the kickboxing lesson was less than fun.

Jo
Darth Bruised ))

And there was a spate of assuming an 'In' at the start of each Darth name. (Like with 'In'Sidious and 'In'Vader.) So you'd get people signing themselves as 'Darth Trepid', 'Darth Explicable', 'Darth Continent' and 'Darth Stant darth joke, just add water'.

There's a labyrinth list I'm on with a 'goblin quote' but we ripped that off from a Star Wars list, so I'm not sure it counts.

The quotes in names thing is also used on the San Fernando Valley Folklore Society message board. It's possible a Rinkie brought it over, but I think it was just a spontaneous haveage of the same idea.

(( The word I believe is eidetic memory, children are very good at it. I think you'll find many of our childhood memories are pictures.

JK "has photographic memory but the negatives got exposed" Will ))

Ooh! When I went over to get that example, I saw they'd updated. Yay! More urban legends!

S "did I really just use the word HAVEAGE in a non-ironic way?" E
