Looks pretty much like closing time to me. Thank you all for coming and good night. Last administrator/moderator to leave, please lock up.
Naah, just needs a little pruning . . . there’s limits to everything, even in the Pit.

Nope, that wasn’t pruning, that was the evisceration of silliness. Aren’t we allowed to be silly in the pit? Geez, it was meant to be funny and you make it sound like I was being obscene.

Holy mackerel!! I’m not ashamed, I’m stunned that such a silly attempt at humor is perceived as offensive here in the pit, where I have seen more offensive posts.

Racist speech is not permitted in the Straight Dope Message Board. No matter how funny you think it is. Which it wasn’t, by the way.

I would agree that racist speech has no place on this or any other board, but that was not racist. A bit unPC? Sure. But not racist.

Damn, I missed it. I wish I’d seen John’s latest attempt at humor, I’m sure he was as oblivious to his offensiveness as he’s always been.
As oblivious as he still is, I’m sure, to why his post inviting Monty to try some made-up Chinese specialties is offensive to gays, smiley or no. Come on, John, 'fess up: you’re still oblivious to that, aren’t you?

I saw the post – I thought it was pretty offensive. It was a made-up “list” of Chinese food dishes using sexual and scatalogical slang.

And he stills denies that he is Cyb. . .
Some things never change.

Please tell your pants it’s not polite to point.
You people just don’t appreciate good Chinese food.
