I'm impressed. That DOES sound like me. Not far off at all, BRussell!
First off, I'm definitely not the most PC guy going, so you nailed that.
Secondly, the "I don't know, I'm asking..." is indeed my pet phrase. I even use it in "real life" to signify when I'm genuinely curious or want to know the answer, as opposed to asking a rhetorical question or being sarcastic.
Just seems to clarify: "I'm not being a smarty-butt here...I really don't know the answer to this...".
As for the "I'm not as smart as some of you here..." thing, that's a double-edged thing. On one hand, I often mean it quite sincerely. I never finished college, haven't read the classics, don't know much about lots of things and am often impressed (and at times humbled) by the brain power of many here at AppleInsider.
But I also use it, at times, in a sarcastic, tweaking way to those who sometimes seem to wear their "book learnin'" a little TOO prominently on their sleeves, and seem to lack common sense and humility. I use it as a little "dig" sometimes. I won't lie.
68k was a guy who used to post here using insightful well.. everything. He was smart, self absorbed, stuck up, a lier, arrogant,.. the list goes on.

When I put my mind to it, I write very well. 68k was the only person on AI who could, honestly, write better than I could.
Yeah, that's arrogant, but I am still convinced that it's true. Since writing on a Message board is based around speed -- for almost everyone who writes on them -- there is a decently objective scale that can be used to judge writing ability.
And yes, I'm hammered now, which explains my better-than-usual diction, syntax, and clarity.
