This (http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=246224) seems like an appropriate way to cap off a very chaotic week on the SDMB.

Please, Og, make it stop. Just.. Make it stop. I can't take any more of this.

Looks like the Mods did, what with "banned" appearing under his name and all.

The Grapist has always made me smile. If someone wanted to go out with a bang I can think of a lot of worse possibilities. Viva La Grape.

I guess I'm one of the humorless minority that doesn't see any fun in jokes based on rape.

Either the wrong thread was posted, or they deleted his whole post. I didn't see no stinkin' grapist!

Hmmm, it's a fucking pun you twerp.

For cryin' out loud. If anybody wonders why some people have decided not to pay for the privilege of posting here, perhaps one could turn the microscope on the uptight, humorless, offenderati hereabouts.

To that RexDart I say amen. If I remember correctly there was a troll called Hamburglar from about the same time. I always pictured the Grapist as some sort of demented McDonald's character. Unless Baker has some special knowledge that is a monumental stretch.

IIRC, there was also a MayorMcCheese gimmick who went about handing posts the "keys to McDonaldsLand". I thought that was very LOL.

For the record, I do know what a pun is., and it's a pun on the word rape.

Also for the record, rape is not funny, even in puns. If someone here, RexDart for example, likes it, that's okay I guess. Sick, but ok. But don't run someone else down when they make a statement about not liking it.

Baker, honestly I am not trying to get into a pissing match here, I just don't think you know or remember the history behind the Grapist. As Rex noted there were several trolls at the same time.

Troll 1 - The Hamburglar - I believe he said "Robble Robble".
Troll 2 - Mayor McCheese - Handed out the keys to McDonald Land
Troll 3 - The Grapist - Clearly based on Grimace. Made posts purple.

You may find the above funny, you may not. They are obviously the same person causing mischief. Equally obvious, is the association with McDonald's characters rather than rape.

Sick, eh? Well, I'd rather be a guy who can laugh shit off and go with the flow than a dill-hole like you.

It's people like you who stomp into a fun thread and shit all over it with your prissy "durrr, OMG guyz I'm so offended!!!1!!1 this is NOT funny", and parade your righteous superiority that you're just "too good" to laugh at something, who lessen the overall value of the SDMB. Last time I checked, people pay for things that make them feel better, so I hope all the people shelling out their $15 are masochists, because paying to listen to the specialists at offense-taking opine their superior qualities and look down on the ignorant peons below them is punishment, pure and simple.

If you don't think the Grapist is funny because you can't get that bug off your ass and the chip on your shoulder is threatening to throw your spine out of alignment, then just bugger off.

RexDart, dare I hope that certain statements you have made in this thread means you aren't going to be subscribing to the SDMB? Please, please, tell me I can hope!

BTW, fruitbat, I do know the history of the Grapist. I've been here quite a long time. But I honestly appreciate your post trying to explain your take on this situation. Folks like you are okay.

Oh, ferthaloveagod, Baker, quit being intentionally obtuse. The grapist "Graped" threads by turning them purple. That's it. Nothing whatever to do with rape. You're being just a wee bit oversensitive, and taking offense at something that isn't even there. Quit looking for something to be pissy about.

I remember that thread! One of the funniest threads I ever read. Anyone happen to have it bookmarked? (Assuming, of course, it hasn't disappeared into the SDMB ether...)

As far as the Grapist and his alter-egos go, I'd be pretty sure he got the general idea
from here. (http://www.theonion.com/onion3808/hammurderer.html)

Maybe I'm just dense, but I never made the "rape" association with the Grapist. It was always about McDonald's to me. Always. Never anything else. Not that he was funny (bizarre, more like it) but he was always all about McDonald's in my mind.

SighYes, Maureen dear, I know what the Grapist did with the color purple.

But it's still a nasty pun.
