BTW, why limit this request to the **BBQ Pit**? From **General Questions** : [Should I shit now or later?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=305415) From **Cafe Society** : [Quentin Tarantino a “sick fuck?” Why?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=292915) From **MPSIMS** : [Well, shit, now I’ve turded in my own thread…](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=296655) [It Tastes Like Shit, Smells Like A Fart & You Can’t Even Draw On It](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=312091) [Oscar right, or a stereotyping bigot (albeit indubitably homophilic) asshole?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=312176) [«bad personal event». Happy fucking New Year’s.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=294603)_(title modified)_ I suspect that most of the board has the potential to raise eyebrows. (Ever notice that big banner in the upper left corner promoting Dope? 😉 ) ---

why must it be due to one being in the workplace? i’m fragile you know. while i can take the occasional (@\*&^$# rather bravely, the constant sight of ‘Where’s my fucking affordable health care you fucking fuck’ everytime i hit the ‘new posts’ button udderly shatters my glass of milk. ---

> [@continuity eror](#): > > Really though, I’ve got no sympathy for people who think other people should amend their online activities (which many of us do ON OUR OWN TIME, not on the company dime) so they can steal from their employers. It’s the height of ego-centricity. Well, as long as we’re slinging shit: some of us get paid to do a job, not just to be at work. I can keep a window open on some pointless debate on the SDMB all day, browse the web, go to meetings, _and_ get my tasks done. Appointing yourself supervisor of other people on the board seems to me to be the height of ego-centricity. Or in other words: Don’t assume everyone else has as crappy a job as you do, fucker! “Stealing” and “company dime” my ass. ---

> [@continuity eror](#): > > Get back to work, fucker. Stick your tongue right up my ass, fuckface. Don’t lecture anyone else on our work habits, since there’s lots of people whose work situation permits us to surf the web during breaks or downtime. Not that anyone else’s job performance is any of your business anyway, you sanctimonious little prick. ---

I do a lot of my posting at work because I’m nearly always fucking there. I have an hour incubation, I goof off a little. The fact I’m in the lab at midnight for a time point leaves me with a clear conscience. Having said that, it’s my ass if I get called on it all the same, and I have absolutely jack and squat in the way of recourse. We have no one but ourselves to blame if we get in trouble, because we know the rules. Having said that, some dirty bastard fucker emailed me a .wav purporting to be a recording of a nasty voicemail message left to Paris Hilton by some celeb. after Paris’ cell phone got hacked and half of Hollywood was afflicted with prank calls. Oh, this is gonna be mighty funny, I thought. So, it’s like 8 PM and hardly anybody’s around. What’s the harm, right? A few cusswords will be spoken, no doubt, but nobody will hear. Well, I open the file, and there’s this barely audible woman’s voice. I can’t understand her at all, so I turn the volume up to eleven to try to make out what she’s saying. All of the sudden, a man’s voice shouting “I LOVE GAY PORN! I’M LOOKING AT GAY PORN!” practically blasts me out of my chair. The whole building could’ve gotten a goddamn earful. That is _dirty fucking pool_. Take pity on us poor guileless worker bees. ---

Yikes… for some reason my mouse didn’t turn into the clicky cursor thingy (yes, clicky cursor thingy) when I moused over his text. Damn my impatience! Thanks for pointing out my mistake, sorry for posting that link twice. Blargh. ---

I especially liked the smiley art on page 3, that was good. [sub]Why yes, I am egocentric, didn’t you know? Why not? Is there something wrong with you?[/sub] ---

> [@sturmhauke](#): > > I especially liked the smiley art on page 3, that was good. It must have taken forever (and a million "Preview Post"s) to do, and I admire that, but it made my eyes scream. Ever notice how the regular font (the user name on each post, for example) looks way smaller after staring at gigantic font for an entire thread? Or is that just me? And big, yellow font = torture. I think my eyes might actually be bleeding… ---
