I have heard about this character, but don't understand the underlying joke. Anyone care to elaborate for us new folks?

It is the story of of the sleep study.
President-pretender, J. Biden, said "the DNC has built the largest voter fraud organization in US history". Too bad they didn’t build the smartest voter fraud organization and got caught.

polysomno-man is a member of the form.

The link Den posted is to a thread from one of his first posts. I didn't see the post myself, but I understand it was quite rude - he deleted it himself because he didn't like the responses he was getting.

It is the story of the washed,
the cleansed,
the educated,
the certified.....
that bring the tablets down from the mount.

They bring the Word,
down to the unclean,
the illiterate,
the uncertified,
hosers.

It is the story of a promise to lead us, the patients,
out of our darkness,
into the light.
It is the story of eternal damnation
if you adjust your own pressure.
It is the hope, that through
confessing our sins,
turning over our data capable machines,
deleting our data software,
professing gratitude and
asking for their forgivness,
we can be blessed w/adequat therapy.
"If your therapy is improving your health but you're not doing anything
to see or feel those changes, you'll never know what you're capable of."
I said that.

And, then THEY get an "education"........
(and eventually depart with their tails tucked between their legs)

Preach on, Brother Carb!

I'm almost sorry I mentioned our old friend's name. But "Guest" sounded SO familiar...

After having been online since the days of 300 baud modems what was true back then is even more true now... the 'net is full of folks pretending they are something they are not.

I am reminded of this Brad Paisely tune...
