In this CCC thread I stated, rather blunty my thoughts on why I thought Cecil should be allowed to expressed his political thoughts in his columns. Creative_Munster came up with this witty and excellent rebuttal to my post :
Oh my … Teeming Millions I’m afraid the bar for creative abuse has just been raised to staggerring new heights. After this gem, I feel that the Pit no longer needs to even exist as nothing can even come close to matching this level of debating genius. I am stunned by the level of intelligence! My puny mind just cannot grasp at the amount of creative power that went into this simple, yet so effective rebuttal.
Fenris? Scylla? give it up, guys. There’s a new boy in town.
And Creative_Munster better watch how he talks to Euty ‘round here, or he & I will me makin’ a 3-legged race all the way to the hospital - to get my foot removed from his ass.

So, who do I see…a proctologist or a podiatrist to get a foot removed from my ass?
I think you do Creative_Munster a great injustice by not including the entire body of his/her work on that thread. To wit:
Such an astounding melange of ideas compressed into just three sentences; I’ve not seen as impressive display of the concise expression of ideas since the Gettysburg Address.
The careful play of an accusation of unprefssional behavior against the meticulously-chosen epithet “butt monkey.” (O what great work of genius marred by lack of a hyphen!)
The train of thought that begins with reaction to an anti-war comment and barrels unstoppable over great chasms in logic towards an accusation of complicity in the murder and rape of innocents.
And the beatiful twist of self-righteous indignation! It so effectively combines a simplistic “you’re for us or you’re against us” attack with the self-martyrdom of one who believes he’s fighting for freedom against impossible odds. Fighting not with guns and bombs, but with words. Words like “butt monkey.”
Truly a thing to behold. The only way it could have been more perfect would have been to include a reference to the Dixie Chicks or Pearl Jam, but sadly, that was already used in the same thread by a different poster. Were it not for that tragic accident of timing, the post could’ve reached the lofty goal of actually being the single most bone-headed thing I’ve read on this message board in reaction to the damn fool war.
Plus he forgot the “Tm” for the trademark. Jeesh the good folks at Chapstick ™ won’t be happy with him. And trust me, you don’t fuck with the Chapstick ™ folks unless you want to try swimming with cement flippers.
If a Mod pits a member, I think the Mod should have to deduct one from his or her Pit totals. This would have the double effect of discouraging Mods from pitting us and making them work that much harder to piss us off to pump their totals.
