:::UncaBeer’s hand shoots up:::  
I know, I know, lemme answer this on Uke.

Actually I’ve got two possibilities:

1. “You want to stick that thing where?” and
2. “Satan’s ass and what you’d like to shove up there.”

I really hope you saw this coming, I’d hate to think you underrate the depravity of the TM’s. 🙂

HAH!

No, it was the “I Just Have to Brag” thread. The OP was about a sweet little 4-year-old boy who was beginning to teach himself to read, and I had a momentary evil impulse to make my above comment the second post. I’m quite proud of myself for stifling it.

Ukelele Ike, that was my thread! Why you despicable, perverted slimeball!

On second thought, if I allowed my son to read the Straight Dope, he would have gotten a kick out of your comment. As you might have read in the Wee Little Winkles thread, he’s obsessed with penises of all shapes, colors, and sizes, even the imaginary ones.

Gotta go, I need to start a reasons I think my son might be gay thread.

Oh sure Uke, that’s easy to say now. I do have a few other possiblities though.

1. The hardest thing
2. May as well put my life further on display…
3. Tattoo art
4. Guy Stuff and
5. The grossest thing you ever saw.

I’m not even gonna go look in Great Debates.

Hey **Unc**! Stop hijacking my thread!

Or at least complete the job. From Great Debates:

Man, I got to admit I always looked askance at those “I spit coffee all over my keyboard!” posts. But if I had had coffee in my mouth thirty seconds ago, I’d’a been in SERIOUS trouble.

“The Grossest Thing I Ever Saw”…“The Hardest Thing”…“Pat Buchanan’s Nightmare”…“Jesse Jackson and Why He Should Back Off”…“Why is This OK?”…

Unk, manny…CLASSIC.

Tater, it was my deep affection and admiration for you that kept me from despoiling the little nipper’s thread.

(Okay, so I didn’t think the comment was ALL that funny, either.)

OK, I didn’t post it because it was lame. (And I haven’t visited the thread in a while, so maybe someone else put it there?)

But there was a thread called “Satan’s ass and what you’d like to put up there”. Then Satan posted a message saying he didn’t think it was funny.

I was going to say  
“Guess he doesn’t like being the _butt_ of the joke.”

Hahahaha!

My best shot that was never sent was “I saw that movie - he had a very small part in it.”

Why not sent? Too new to the SD, no guts. The setup - a guy who was jokingly claiming to have been an actor in a movie, who was having that claim challenged. I was going to support his claim with that comment. You say that doesn’t sound funny? Did I mention that it was a porn movie?

There are lots of times that I stop and think better of a post. Otherwise I wouldn’t be in the thousands, but I’d probably be over 500.

The most recent (just a couple of minutes ago):

“Come on Eileen” by Dexy’s Midnight Runners

well, if you look at the quality of my posted wisecracks you’d swear I don’t cull any, but really I do. Sometimes because I’m noot sure the will be taken as intended, sometimes because I look at the reply screen and think “That’s really stupid”. I hould probably invoke the latter more often.

Hee, hee, I almost said “…invoke #2 more often”. Ahem, see what I mean?
