5. I didn't read it as a put down on a newbie

I think trumad was simply expressing that it is so much fun to post that picture it is a good thing when a newbie brings it up. :party:

14. Well, I realize

you were born in DUland, which is why I am so very sure you have nothing but sympathy for those of us who are not natives, and would never taunt. The Statue of DU does ask for the world's tired, hungry poor progressives yearning to breath free of freepers.

4. Friendly note to n00bs:

I fell into a similar trap at another website. Instead of correcting an common, obviously misspelled word, you can always google it. It saves time for everyone. Not that I've ever seen a DUer ridicule anybody for questioning the spelling of "MORAN", but it'll save 20 other DUers the task of explaining it.

Friendly note to n00bs #2: Welcome to DU! We're glad you found the place.

12. He's famous in my office... until I explain to the RWs who he is.

I have a large color pic of Mr Moran hanging on the wall. Everybody laughs until I give the background of the pic. Then only about half keep laughing. The rest just sort of melt away.

9. trumad, I had to click on this just to see that idiot again.

I'll never forget the first time I saw it - I think I laughed for about 20 minutes then emailed it to everyone I know.

Welcome, newbies! :hi:

13. Ya know, the word "moran" DOES exist...

...Here's "The New Shorter Oxford English Dictionary" definition:

"MORAN: (n. PL ) A member of the warrior group of the Masai people of E. Africa, which comprises the younger, unmarried males."
