The SJ.com Style Guide, version 3.0

Here's a little question of SJ.com history that I would like answered: Years and years ago, we collectively worked on the SJ.com novel. I remember @21 in particular being part of it. Our main character was called Denny Crane.

Denny Crane was soon the name of William Shatner's character on Boston Legal.

COINCIDENCE? I THINK NOT.

His name was Terry Haute. Unless there was a second SJ.com novel.
 
They're all great additions. If I could edit the posts, they'd be added already. But it won't let me edit. Must know my MO.
 
There must have been, because I don't remember Terry Haute, but I definitely remember Denny Crane.
 
And yet......no pickle juice.

What you talkin' 'bout, Willis?
pickle juice: Board member who asked for the keys to the kingdom by inquiring about how one would jump from selling steak knives to cover the Miami Dolphins. Was roundly excoriated in a thread that was too long for its own good and taken way too seriously by no small number of posters.
 
Brad Renfro (1982-2008): Short-lived Hollywood actor who starred - and was great - in the "The Client" (1994). Recently, there has been some dispute as to whether or not Brad Garrett ("Everybody Loves Raymond" fame and suggested understudy to Javier Bardem in "No County for Old Men" would have been a better choice.

"Inarguable Among the Sane" (one of my personal favorites): Favorite phrase of former poster Simon Cowbell, used to describe an attempt by another poster to argue a seemingly irrefutable point.

"6" or "Solid 6": SJ.com bastardized use of the common 1-10 scale to describe a good-looking woman. SJ.com'ers uses 6 as its high-water mark for good-looking woman.

How 'Bout No Bear: A meme used to illustrate a poster to desire to NOT see - or unsee - things posted here, such as people's nasty-ass feet. Or incredible ugly wo-Man. Or Kate Upton (Cause's she's a fatty).

No. 7 at Pebble Beach: Quite possibly the most breath-taking par 3 golf hole in the world. An may or may not be located at: Augusta National, Hazeltine, St. Andrews, Oakmont, Pebble Beach and Pinehurst No. 2.

Sock Puppet: Another, anonymous, handle used by a regular poster to hide their identity, stir up trouble and attempt to cause mayhem on the board.

Also need to add:
Scoreboard!
Backdoor (Boots)
And Going to HR (also Boots)

Well, I have everything collected that has a definition, but I'd have to get a special dispensation or something from a moderator to slap it all up here. It won't even fit into two posts now.
