Most pit-threads are personal spleen vents, RO’s, or pile-ons. Nothing for the ages. People post, curse, wish painful anal rape on people they disagree with, and the thread is forgotten.
Then there are the Pittings that rise above the fray and achieve true greatness (or threadspotting, which is similar). I’m thinking of Cervaise’s telemarketer rant, or Sauron’s encounter with the Emperor of the World. Those sort of threads.
What, in your opinion, are some of the best, well-written, most interesting pit threads in posts of yore?
We had a consultant come into our business one day. Towards the end of the day, she got up to use the bathroom. Shit ensued. Then she went back to work. The consultants leave an hour before everyone else does. So when she left, somoene sat on the chair she was using at the desk in the main room of the office. The chair had shit on it. She managed to get the shit out of the bathroom and into the main room. You can just imagine what condition the bathroom was like.
Anyway, we made fun of her for a while but, it turned out that on the same day she was admitted to a hospital because of a brain tumor.
Back in the Good Old Days, the Doper jarbabyj, a.k.a. tiny ham, used to grace the Pit with some wonderful profanity-laden rants. You inspired me to go searching for them, to see if I could find any good ones. Here’s a few I found:
I didn’t notice this was is an old thread and the first thing that came to my mind is the thread I mentioned when it was first posted nine years ago ; Prehensile Rectum. Rereading it is making me crack up as hard as the first time. What I failed to notice the first time around is the OP about shit is written by someone called Billy Rubin
Did everyone but me get the joke back then?
You can’t-a fool me - there ain’t no Sanity Clause.
No such thread is complete without the epic Beryl_Mooncalf Pitting by none other than the immortal Bricker. It starts off weird, moves quickly into lunacy, and then it gets interesting.
