yes, this is known as the wacko forum.

maybe if I spoke like Siegfried from Get Smart or Schultz from Hogan's Heros

I just think of it as 'those loonies over at the compost forum.' I don't actually say it out loud very often because I'm afraid to let any of my friends know about you people.

You realize scum stands for the woman who shot andy warhol. Look her up on wikipedia. It is not a very nice term.

"...I'm afraid to let any of my friends..."

You have friends still??!!

The term "scum" may refer to a lot of things......no reason at all it cannot be applied here as well in a humorous bent :-)

From Wikipedia:
Scum may refer to:
- A layer of impurity that accumulates at the surface of a liquid (especially water or molten metal)
- A greenish water vegetation (such as algae), usually found floating on the surfaces of ponds
- The topmost liquid layer of a cesspool or septic tank
- SCUMM (Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion), scripting language developed at LucasArts to ease development of the graphical adventure game Maniac Mansion
- Scum, one of many names for the card game President
- SCUM, acronym for Society for Cutting Up Men in the SCUM Manifesto
- A person or group of people regarded as contemptible or worthless (pejorative)
- Scum (film), a British film starring Ray Winstone
- Scum (television play), a television play written by Roy Minton and directed by Alan Clark
- S.C.U.M (band), a South East London based post-punk/art rock group
- Scum (band), a hardcore punk/black metal band.
- Scum (Napalm Death album)
- Scum (Anti-Nowhere League album)
- All pages with titles containing "scum"

Ahh, the layer of impurities that floats to the top. That would be us. A miscellaneous compilation of stuff that refuses to dissolve into the masses. :-p

I saw the title of the thread and assumed you were going to ask if you could put the green scum from the top of a pond or other body of stagnant water into your compost pile.

I always think of that Imperial officer in Star Wars who spat, "You rebel scum!" LOL
