There is some beauty and meta humor in asking what a numpty is. I woulda been that guy if I had read the post before Jdog.

-Sharkboy, clown prince of the numpties

I like to reference the online Dictionary of UK slang: http://www.peevish.co.uk/slang/

"numpty Noun. A fool, idiot. Also spelt numbty and numptie. [Orig. Scottish]"

Well, that's certainly not how I use it, but what does this numpty know? A numpty convention in Florida would be great, no clean shirts and beer holders on the guitars.

And by the way man, Humpty Dumpty was pushed!

I think there will be a sectioned off area at SERF for numpties.

[quote="wmthor"]I remember the first time I met a forumite in person. It was in 2004 at the RRF's Official Southern restaurant in Columbia, SC.

And which restaurant would that be, by name? I ask because I lived in Columbia for six years while in grad school. If there were a Rick-gathering there, I'd attend, as it would give me several good reasons to return to my old stomping grounds.

By the way, I met a forumite, Todd Mossholder, a few weeks ago in--where else--Pick of the Ricks. Didn't realize who he was until later, when he alluded to it in response to a recent post where I beamed shamelessly about my new 660/12 AFG. Am beaming shamelessly still . . .

The restaurant was Lizard's Thicket, right Jwilli.

Ah, The Lizard's Thicket--I remember it well. Greasy southern goodness. The mac and cheese was deadly.
