Well,
Shit
Well, as far as I can tell every person that ever does it is merely being tongue-in-cheek–and in fact, the more inane the thread, the more likely it is to come up.
What makes this joke any more annoying than the other tongue-in-cheek comments on the board? I mean, given that no one really means it?
Page of hysterical profane abuse and racial slurs are darned entertaining. Everyone likes to get their knickers in a knot once in awhile, you know. Very cathartic. My pet peeve? Poster who use “in: re” in their posts. Pretentious much?
(You got something to say about my location tag, Simetra? You want a piece of me?!?)
Nope. Just lazy.
My specific peeves:
These misspellings:

You putrid sack of monkey pus, there are 336 on an American ball or 330 on a British ball, you cheesy box of slug slime. Any semi-intelligent person would know that, but I guess a stupid, toe licking, grit-eatin’, toast smearing, car driving, fart sniffing codger like you obviosly doesn’t.
You are the scum of the scum of the bottom of a prostitute’s son’s diaper.
You smell of elderberries.
Your father was a dentist!
No real suprise that you got it wrong, after all people say that you are the type who likes his asparagus green, the type who eats his maple syrup on pancakes, the type who makes glass out of sand.
You are a jammy dodger.
I can’t do pages, I haven’t written a stupid insult generator yet, but how was that?
I find this sooooo funny, but oddly, I did not spit any liquids at my screen or on my keyboard. Maybe next time.
BLUE! :eek:
Band name!
That band name crap annoys me. It ranks right up there with “me too” replies.
Me too.
Really… we should just change the thread title to, “Post after smart ass post.”
Sorry Legomancer. 
Oh and featherlou… bring it. 
Now he said “urge”. But, no hunks have shown up with a bottle of Herbal Essence shampoo.
But, whenever a woman says it, they show up immediately.
This is discrimination!
Unless all people are free, no one is free!
Ich bin ein feygelle!*
(The use of this word is not intended as offensive. I’m not even sure it’s the right word. But Mel Brooks uses it in Robin Hood-Men In Tights and that’s good enough fer me.)
Wow! I’ve never seen a computer with a carriage before! That must be some machine you have!
Blue? I scoff at your blue. Yellow is the best.
My pet peeve is people who don’t read others’ posts before they post. You know they don’t listen IRL, either. I can’t count the number of times I have posted something and then a few hours later someone else posts almost exactly the same thing. Am I writing in invisible ink?
What really gets me are people who post w/o reading the other posts, and just wind up saying the same thing. Grr.
Simetra, you’re a big weenie. Your mother had to pay kids to be your friends in school. Your dog only played with you because you smelled like poo because you were so lax in personal hygiene. Ummm, you dress funny. How’s THAT, then? Had enough? Huh, tough guy?
Oh I do love to tweak a thread one more time after someone has posted in their opinion that a discussion is ended over and done with
In fact I like to be on the lookout for threads that are nearing a premature death ala moderator -I’m not quite fanning the flames but standing at the edge of the pit poking the embers with my stick - and then I try to get in my two obnoxious cents just before the ax swings and the thread is closed.
I agree that those “google is your friend” posts are really annoying.
But not as bad as “RTFM” posts back in USENET days.
What’s RTFM? What’s Undernet?
Read The Fucking Manual.
Usenet … ah, someone with more experience online (as I have only been online for 7 or so years) will know better than I do, but it was a sort of BBC-type place. Definitely for the more knowledgeable computer user, as it required more than simply getting online and typing “boards.straightdope.com” into your browser.
[sub]I think. That’s how I explain the rash of different thought on here of late…[/sub]
iampunha, if you’d read the next line of the script you’d have seen that it clearly says retort with “Google is your friend.”
