I'm hardly ever here. I spend oodles of time at 
http://brewjay.quora.com/ taking silly questions seriously. There is a 
pretty much unused feature of the site, where you could sneak in and 
make an attributed joke out of a question. Just put the question _only_ 
in the topic of jokes.

I haven't used that feature. I'm just saying that it exists, and that 
outside of that topic, masking (or obliterating) an answer with a joke 
is against policy. It would also take some work to port the oracular 
persona there.

It might be more doable in a blog.

Orrie may become lively again, but really, I think it would take some 
serious effort to make him as big as he was at the turn of the century, 
when USENET wasn't on the wane.
