Well you see, the internet isn’t a big truck. It’s a series of tubes. Too many polls and it clogs up like a toilet, so you have to get the internet snake to get rid of the clog.

Why, thank you, kind Sir… Or Madam… whichever you are. But I want to see **Mewl** come back and address my accusation! THAT’S what matters, not your opinion. And I’m still a dick, as I stated.

Yes, yes you were. I’m glad you apologized for such lack of control.
**Mewl** remains, however, dickless.

{A moment of seriousness here.
I thought that because of the title/subject matter, the thread I linked to as “Option G” would make a great joke when combined with the concept of a poll twitting the OPer of this thread, and the slang word for penis you used.
I actually haven’t read the thread I linked to as “Option G” (or most of the ones I linked to, for that matter) and I didn’t mean to imply anything negative about you by linking to that thread.}
But hey, this being the Pit and all, as long as you’re going to self-identify publicly about being “kind of a dick”…

Dammit Silenus. Now she’s going to figure out how to check up on her self masturbatory thread under the radar! Well, at least I assume she’ll figure it out - but I’m not telling her.
Point is, I noticed the same thing. Hilarious!
We’re all pretentious asses and she can’t stay away.

Told ya I hadn’t read it! 😃
But, I accept my whooshment with good grace. Now, can we _please_ get back to the important matter at hand? To wit, the shredding of the pitting.

She’s too stupid to figure it out. I came up with three ways off the top of my pointed little head.
And she’s still looking. 😛

I dunno about that. That was the best woosh I’ve ever managed. I’m not sure I want to let it go. But I’m a dick, as I said. 😃

Me, too, but some of us are born that way. 😉
