Damn. This is like paying for a full-priced movie ticket only to get Bob & Doug McKenzie’s movie made in “3-B”. I feel cheated, eh? Tripler Where’s that long rant I was promised? ---

“3-B”? Does that stand for “Three-Beer”? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Zenster \* > \*\*What I will tell you **Ender** is this; I have never meant you any sort of insult in any way ever, at these boards. I cannot believe that you would think otherwise. I’m not going to exacerbate the situation by going into further detail about this. Please feel free to post whatever material I have ever written at these boards that demonstrates an attempt to show disrespect towards you in any way. \*\* Wow, the whooshing almost drowned out the voices in my head for a moment there. ---

I don’t know what is making me laugh harder, Ender’s parody or the fact that it flew right over Zenster’s head. I give it a 9.5. Oh, and I am going to pull up a lawnchair now. Since this is the Pit - fucking goat felcher. (BTW Ender, thanks for this thread. I have been noticing the same things lately.) ---

I am that bored, the OP was that boring, but I really liked the train wreck. I think that, after all things are considered, I found myself lightly entertained. What the OP failed to foresee was a high number of views and responses. If the numbers had been low, I would have taken the cues and never clicked the link. Simply by responding, I’ll be sucking additional suckers in, who hopefully will add more worthless responses, which will suck additional suckers in, and so on, and so on, and so on… ---

[sub]It was missing a reference to eating some obscure food made with ingredients mined by armless children in the pampas of Argentina or a reference to his musical talent, which makes Miles Davis look like Cubby from the Mickey Mouse Club…have to deduct a few tenths for that.[/sub] ---

I clicked on the thread because I noted the reply count, and figured something fun had to be going on. And, IMHO, it’s likely that **Zenster** can take y’all with one hand tied behind his back. Do we have a topic here? Should someone propose a topic? My persian cat pees everywhere, can I get advice? ---

The warnings kept me out for two whole days. Sure it could be dull, but it’s **Ender** so it can’t be that bad _clickity_ I go. My what a gem of a thread! Thank you **Ender** , thank you all for the most fun I’ve had in at least the past hour. And yes **Jack Batty** , it is all about you. The meaning of life isn’t 42, it’s Jack Batty! ---
