Dola...

[rowech]

What the hell does it mean?

[cartman]

There used to be a poster back in the early days by the name of Dolamite. He would often post 4 or 5 times in a row. So, his legacy is that whenever someone posts consecutively, they preface the later posts with 'Dola'.

And that's the rest of the story.

[rowech]

Thank you!

[PackerFanatic]

You've been here 3 years and it took you that long to ask? Surprised...heh.

Yeah...I just figured I should know why everyone uses it.

[molson]

I'm pretty sure it's a type of stew.

[RomaGoth]

I did not know what it meant either until Lorena explained it to me last year.

[RomaGoth]

Dola

Then I knew not to post consecutively unless absolutely necessary.

[RomaGoth]

Double Dola

Like right now.

Ha. You forgot your Dola. Also, post counts don't seem to matter much anymore since it doesn't show how many you have under your name. Good stuff though.

Link doesn't work for me. Maybe we need a new parody? :D

What are you talking about? Works for me. ;)

[Neon_Chaos]

I heard Christopher Walken and Kermit the Frog might do a collab with Ant sometime soon.

[Neon_Chaos]

dola,

It's 5:20 AM and my brain is fried. Time to hit the sack. :)

Holy shit, if we were so lucky.

And now that Ksyrup and I are Facebook friends and I know what he looks like, can we talk about him cleaning in the buff again? Please?

[RomaGoth]

I heard somewhere that Walken was keeping a watch up his ass for Kermit

[Farrah Whitworth-Rahn]

That dola song is still rib splittingly funny.

[Lorena]

Ever smell Kermit's fingers? They smell like pork.

[RomaGoth]

Ever smell Kermit's fingers? They smell like pork.

Wait, so the watch wasn't up Walken's ass after all?

[MikeVic]

omg

[Lorena]

Yeah probably. Kermit's a little slut, he gets around. I'd post pics but don't wanna get boxed again.

The act of posting two or more times in a row

There goes JeeberD with another dola post.

[Toddzilla]

Explained through way of song:
Dola (http://www.almarks.com/dola/dola.html)OMFG I was keeping it together listening to this, but the "Jeeber Jeeber Jeebs Jeeber" made me lose it and I woke up my wife taking a nap. It was worth it. :banana:

[Axxon]

Lets add a bit more to the story. Dola didn't like that he wasn't popular and he made the assumption that it was due to his low post count. Dolamite didn't just post 4-5 times in a row he'd spread out one thought into many posts in the hopes of getting his count up.

A true dola is like this. It's about padding post counts by adding a new post not editing your old one. Replying to someone elses post for example is not a dola.

[Axxon]

Dola,

this one clearly is.

[Axxon]

dola,

at least that's how I remember it.

[Axxon]

dola,

it is far more annoying than just posting twice about different topics, no?

[Axxon]

dola,

I'd say it is.

[Lorena]

OMFG I was keeping it together listening to this, but the "Jeeber Jeeber Jeebs Jeeber" made me lose it and I woke up my wife taking a nap. It was worth it. :banana:

Out of curiosity, did she ask what was so funny and what did you say?

[JonInMiddleGA]

And in recent years we've tended to use dola pretty often to refer to what is really just serial posting as opposed to an effort to actually pad your post count.

Which only make sense since most of our newer members don't know the story and the easiest thing to figure out is that it's serial posting. That's mainly why I added the extra explanation in the first place.

Ahh, but what is a wigslam?

[Zelig]

Who was that crazy SOB who used to write stream of consciousness stuff on here all the time. I loved that guy, sometimes at night the ice weasels come.

[SirFozzie]

A Wigslam, or a Wigfecta, as it is more commonly known, is having the most recent post in every single forum, so the front page of the forums shows every forum has the latest post by you. Nearly impossible now with all the sub-forums.

I did it once, really late, maybe five years ago. That was when you had to do it, early in the morning.

Ha, I was lmao, too. I remember Ant doing it, but I must not have listened to it, cuz it didn't ring a bell. That's just great. Thumbs up, Ant.

The Dolamite fracas was absolute hilarity. I was probably on Sidelines maybe a handful of months (if that) when that happened. I remember the big stick for Dolamite was getting to "Grizzled Veteran" status. Forget what the newbs were called on the old board. "Rookie"?

Dolamite was really annoying and childish in his short time here, but he definitely left his mark. ;)

[Chief Rum]

Dola, "here" being the Front Office Football community.

To my knowledge, I don't believe the original Dolamite ever posted at FOFC. He was long gone before the big showdown that led to the exodus from Sidelines to the board we had before moving to this one (when FOFC was truly born).

[cartman]

I would occasionally get a wigfecta when I lived in Italy. Early morning there was the perfect time.

But you had to watch out for the Ice Weasels. They came at night you know.

What, no one's going to tell Rowech that we've already had a thread on this topic and he should have used the search function?

It goes without saying really and I really wish it would have. ;)

[Passacaglia]

Probably not. I've used it on other forums, but intentionally, just to see what they would say. No one has ever asked.

I've been tempted but no. I do use "what better, though.

[Toddzilla]

I use it on TotalFark all the time

and I've actually seen a few other folks start to use it. :)

[Lorena]

I use it on Facebook and Myspace.

FROM TEH GRAVEYARD...

Ah...
So *that* is what 'dola' is...

Hm...
So my 'dola'ing (unwittingly) led to me going from n00b to now 'frosh' in just one day.

...I see...
I'm not sure if I should be proud, or embarrassed.

[MIJB#19]

Just stay away from the posting police, or else you'll be demoted to being a n00b forever...
