Well, this is my very first faux pas.

yes, your first posting... :)

You all certainly are imaginative -- however I must warn you that you are infringing on MY name -- heads WILL roll !!!

I could say that you are infringing on mine, but then we could both be "faux".

Ah, we have here two Faux-dorites.

Appears to be a faux de deux.

(With apologies to Alan Sherman.)


Hello mudder, hello fodor
My last apartment, it had no door
had to quick study defensive karate
while I tried to reach a landlord named Abate.

...

Wait a minute, I'll stop writing
It's not as much fun, as the fighting...
Just remember, this small adage,
Some people have more luggage, some more baggage..



On second thought, apologies to <i>everyone.</i>

hee-hee...

Clifton, that was FANTASTIC!

I prefer to think of myself as faux-dorable. As for Ms &quot;FauxSteMarie&quot; -- I suggest she check the pronunciation of her first syllable -- they'd run her off of the Upper Peninsula for sure.

In fact her first syllable should rhyme with what *my* lawyer will do if this misuse continues.

Fauxdorite, such a clever name! Will you ever tell us who you really are? (I noticed that this is your only post under that name, yet you are obviously familiar with this forum.) :-D

Very funny, Clifton...especially karate/Abate!

FABOO, Clifton, especially &quot;some have more luggage, some more baggage!

TOO TRUE!

Yes Clifton -- simply BRILLIANT :D

OK, Clifton wins.

=D&gt; Clifton, how clever you are!!

Aw, thanks. I think it was just the late night Tex-Mex. The poblano sauce was causing hallucinations.

Thank goodness I deleted the verse that rhymed Paris with heiress and the unexpected views of the neighbor's terrace...

Wouldn't the proper term be&quot;Fodorsites&quot;? Perhaps &quot;Fodorskis&quot; would be more pleasing to the ear.

I think it came from some early poster who always thought they were right.
Newbies, never. :)

I certainly remember the term &quot;fodorite&quot; originating long before the pins were suggested and created. I'd say it was right around the time Monica organised the first GTG and, although the term may not have been used on her website of photos of the GTG, I do have the vague impression that the term was coined around that time.

As to who coined it, I must admit I can't see why it matters but... it probably wasn't me so... &lt;shrug&gt;

Incidentally, that little ditty by Clinton is indeed brilliant.

And is FauxSteMarie an alias for Lauren, who's posts have gone from this thread?
