Is childish name-calling all you can do, you idiot?

[Muad'Dib]

Inspired by t-keela in this thread. (http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=275279)

I see this a lot in the pit. Yes, I have done it too, rarely that is (I hope). But sheesh people, stop calling-out folks for name calling when you do it yourself. Although I am sure that your instance of doing it was perfectly valid ( :rolleyes: ) it is really sad and annoying when it is done in the same thread where you have just been calling people stupid names.

[andros]

But can I call out people for calling out people?

[Bryan Ekers]

Heck, I insult people left and right when they start threads seemingly for the sole purpose of putting their stupidity on display. I try to include a nugget or two of valid criticism in the mix. When they insult me back (as sometimes happens), I often find their answer doesn't respond to my criticism, but is just a personal shot taken for its own sake. That's a good sign I've won.



Yay, me.

[Shrinking Violet]

Ah, Bryan ..... just the man ....

Heck, I insult people left and right

You see, I've been venturing into the Pit for a couple of months now, and I've yet to insult anyone. I'm not sure I know how. :(

You seem pretty battle-hardened, Pit-wise ....... please may I practice on you? Many thanks.

You .. you .. you .. you .. ninny! :p





Sorry :o


:flees:

[shamrock227]

You .. you .. you .. you .. ninny!

Ninny? What kind of a ninny calls someone a ninny?

Try poopyhead next time. That sounds much better :D

[Polycarp]

Only if you are willing to be called out by people for calling out people for calling out people! (Is there an echo in here? ;))

[World Eater]

Cool, I'm not a hypocrite, because I never harp on people about harping on people.

[NoClueBoy]

(Is there an echo in here? ;))


What the fuck do I look like, a duck!?

shit




paid for by the committee to use the words fuck and duck in a reply to a polycarp post








and for the EXTREMELY humor impaired: ;)

fuck

[Polycarp]

/Stern voice on/ Do your parents know what you just did? /Stern voice off/

I've been meaning to have a word with you, glee. You really need to speak to your fan club -- all they seem to do is stand around singing "The Whiffenpoof Song" in close harmony!

[TellMeI'mNotCrazy]

Between this and the Blanks (blipity-blah!) thread, I'm fairly certain my head is going to explode.

[NoClueBoy]

There's a glee club? Where do they reherse? :confused:

[andros]

Well then, I'll just call 'em out. Oh, and tell them off.

[Jackmannii]

You know, this looks suspiciously like people HAVING FUN and IGNORING the OP.

Not that I am convinced this is the case. I just wanted to throw this up for discussion and see what y'all think. It's a pretty weird coincidence, right?

Betcha can't prove me wrong.











I'm making a list and y'all are on it.

[PunditLisa]

There's a glee club? Where do they rehearse?

Wednesdays at noon. But it's by invitation only.

My duck exploded during glee club practice. The BOOM echoed through the halls. The good thing about it is that he no longer has fleas.
:D



Sorry, couldn't resist.

[NoClueBoy]

yeah, I get those mixed up all the time, too

I do the same thing with Trafalgar and sublimation.





:p

I might be alone, but I actually laughed at this.

And those may look like harmless waterfowl, but they report directly to Ashcroft. :(

[Polycarp]

The quality of these posts has gotten positively fowl!

No, you are not alone. It made me quack up ;). I thought that it should at least win some sort of award for Most Ironic Thread Title. :p

Down, boy, down. Don't threaten people or they may chicken out of this thread :)

[wring]

you bird brains! I nester saw such a thread! why, it's the fly in the ointment, it is. Hen will you ever learn? you'll roost the day you started this!

[PussyCow]

Not that I want to piss any of you off and buy the farm, but the way you all are acting is udderly embarrassing.

[presidebt]

Owl see your duck and raise you an pigeon. This is getting salmonellic. Heh.

[tomndebb]

At the risk of parroting some previous poster, it seems that you folks are cooking Muad'Dib's goose--you're robin him blind, I tell ya. But I think we're on the thrush-hold of showing him our true feelings on the subject. I think we've exposed the true nature of the OP, leaving it naked as a jay bird. Of course, he's the one who wanted to grouse about the topic. I wonder if he quails (Quayles?) at what we've done to his thread? Take a gander at the nonsense we've posted. (Of course, most of us just posted on a lark.) I wonder who will take the next tern at this?
Well, buoys and gulls, I'm outta here, for now.

[NoClueBoy]

:eek: I am sharked. Sharked, I tell you, at what I'm seeing on my monitor.

That we would muscle this thread around and perch it on the edge of failure, only to revel in watching it flounder about.

Oh, to what depths will we skink? I toad you this would happen.

[Denis]

Bat ewe stoated tit!

[Zoe]

The whole thing is a little hard to swallow.

[Bryan Ekers]

Bat ewe stoated tit!

Heh-heh-heh...


You said "bat".

[Polycarp]

The whole thing is a little hard to swallow.

A swift comeback. But I really wish people would stop falcon around with critter names. It's robin the OP of all meaning, and may drive him stark raven mad.

Sorry to grouse about this; I must seem like a real bustard for doing so.

[roger thornhill]

Polycarp, you're getting to remind me more and more of Melchett in Blackadder.

[The Asbestos Mango]

OK, this thread has gotten way off track.

Knock it off with the bird and fish puns, you goat-felching offspring of extraterrestrial harlots who were infected with sexually transmitted plasmodial diseases.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled name-calling.

[Muad'Dib]

I am only dissapointed in that I thought it would be hijacked for creative name calling, but bird puns are owl right.

There's a glee club? Where do they reherse? :confused:I'm just glad to see Glee back in action. I've missed him.

[SentientMeat]

There's a glee club? Where do they reherse? Funnily (http://www.glee.co.uk/) enough, I go there regularly.

[EddyTeddyFreddy]

Glee clubs? You waste your time and money going to glee clubs when there are starving children all over the frickin' Third World?

Get some perspective!

[SentientMeat]

You waste your time and money going to glee clubs when there are starving children all over the frickin' Third World?Yep, I'll vote for higher taxes, pay them, and that'll have to do. If they can't even be bothered wiping the flies out of their eyes, fuck 'em.

[Greathouse]

Yep, I'll vote for higher taxes, pay them, and that'll have to do. If they can't even be bothered wiping the flies out of their eyes, fuck 'em.


I really feel bad for laughing at this.

I'm disappointed that we've seen mention of tits, but (until now) no boobies!

[PussyCow]

Will you gulls knock it off?!

You sound like a bunch of dodos.

[wring]

I may be a pussy for admitting this, but I've been feline meowy bad about how this thread has gone. I'd say more but the cats-gut my tongue, besides, tabby honest, it'd be too litter too late.

[The Asbestos Mango]

Well, I tried to tern this thread back to its original topic, but I seem to have laid an egg. What I'm heron from you people is a desire to duck the whole issue. Ibis you don't really care about Maud'Dib's original point, but since he doesn't seem to mind, I'll sparrow myself any further aggravation and leave you guys to emus yourselves.

[Annie-Xmas]

You are all a bunch of boobies and titmouses (titmice?).

[Polycarp]

I'm disappointed that we've seen mention of tits, but (until now) no boobies!

Or woodcocks either, just to give equal time!

(Has anybody noticed that ornithologists are pervs? :eek: )

[Nightwatch Trailer]

Careful - people are repeating birds moa often than they're coming up with new ones. You loons are just posting in order to hawk all the attention. Now I'm craneky and I'm calling you out: come up with new ideas.

Or risk being ostrichcized from this thread.

Ocelot o' kaka, in my opinion -- if I were you, I'd cassowary eye about myself for those offended by all this grousing. It seems like just trying to snipe at the offerings of others.

:: Scrabbling her way over mounds of dead ducks toward the original topic ::

Creative invective can be quite entertaining. Used judiciously, it adds a zing to one's posts. Overdone, or trite, it's just boring and off-putting.

And then there's the real grossouts: I just wanted to throw this up Is this another vote for a puke smiley?
