Help me explain the "Dingbat" thing to Mrs. Robb.

I'll admit I never envisioned myself having to have a conversation about this. :D

I'm spending a fair bit of time lately on DU, what with the moderatoratin'. Which isn't to say I haven't spent a fair bit here before. Just now there's more.

So. At some point Mrs. Robb is bound to join, to see what all the fuss is about. There's just no getting around it. Or, at a minimum, she's going to pop in and read a little. And at some point she will find the Lounge. And at some point there will be something at once Robb-related and dingbat-related. And I'm going to have to explain just what the hell that is all about.

Lord help me, I have no idea where to start. :D

How did that whole "Robb is a dingbat" thing get started?

She's a trusting one, isn't she?

Now with more Double-Posting Power!

But it spread fast.

if she asks why, tell her we voted on it. :hide:

:D

Tell her he's been holed up in the basement for so long that he finally lost it and started calling you dingbat.

Everything can be blame on Mikey.

Hence certain traditions get started purely innocently and we won't let go.

At least you're not a moran. I'm series.

Robb is a Dingbat.

And then being Bullish on Dingbat (cause He's going places) became the norm.

I think

:7

What a dingbat!

:P

... in disguise.

:hide:

"Robb's a dingbat", no further comment or debate
required.

Robb is a dingbat, Mrs. Robb. I'll wait for her to travel from the Western Slope to Denver to get the explanation :)
