Are you thinking of Desmostylus, rather than Epithemus?
Hey Munch, bite me while I relax my colon in your general direction.
Just who the fuck asked you, anyhow? I was talking to askeptic, who is perfectly capable of responding on his own. If you’re threatened by grammar and spelling, then you should fuck off to some yahoo.com forum where they use lots of (as in exclusively) upper-case letters.
By the way, the word you were looking for is ‘detritus’.
So take your oral skills and go regurgitate somewhere else.
While you’re at it, try researching the difference between ‘muscles of the buttocks’ and ‘anal sphincter’ before you go on any more metaphor-mixing rampages. Good luck.
Yes, grammar threatens me. Nothing is more frightening or wakes me up in cold sweats in the middle of the night more than a properly diagrammed sentence. If only there were a rolleyes smilie big enough to express my contempt for your junior modding and attempts to collectively speak for the entire board. Get the fuck over yourself, gluteus.
What a bizarre fucking thread.
It’s like a sweater in a cage of cold monkeys.
I’ve read a lot of what you’ve posted, including this. Here’s some advice: engage brain before engaging mouth (or fingers, in this case).
You have certainly got a point concerning that thread. I really try to engage brain before fingers, but I also admitted that for various reasons, that my brain was not functioning right. If you feel that Coldfire’s rebuke was insufficient concerning that thread, then by all means continue to criticize me about it. [roll eyes]
After reading this pitting of myself, I thought I should change my sig. What do y’all think?
I think mud is wet. I have sigs turned off.
And much of what went on was just good-natured ribbing.
In all seriousness, I haven’t really debated with much, but from I’ve seen, you spend a lot of time apoligizing and correcting your mistakes. Maybe I’m wrong about that, but that’s my impression. And that’s where the “engage brain…” comment came from. Take it for what it’s worth. It really doesn’t matter to me either way.
Cheers.
Or would a semi-colon be better here?
(avoiding a colostomy joke because You Don’t Joke in the Pit)
If askeptic came here from an extended period of isolation I can understand his occasional lapses. I was unemployed when I started here and it was nice to have a bunch of people to talk to who spoke in complete sentences. It was good preparation for job interviews.
From what I have read on this forum many people would benifit from apologizing for things they type here. I do it alot because I realize that my first impressions are often wrong. I reconsider my stupid comments. Is it wrong to admit when one is wrong? I know the first response will be that one should not be wrong so often, but I admit I am less intelligent than most folks.
At least I never pitted fleeing farters… 
( i enjoyed the story, please do not take this comment as a criticism of that thread)
Have you ever pitted anyone at all?
Possible sources for a revised sig:
About This Message Board: Is “idiot” a special membership category, and would Dopers like askeptic qualify?
Great Debates: Has askeptic provided sufficient evidence of his idiocy? Cite, please.
Cafe Society: Who’d be the best director for the movie “Dumb and Dumber IV: D&D meet Daddy askeptic”?
In My Humble Opinion: Poll time! Is askeptic really an idiot, or just a wannabe?
Mundane Pointless Stuff I Must Share: askeptic and the contractors, or, how to become an SDMB idiot.
The Barbecue Pit: askeptic, will you stop trying so freakin’ hard to be an idiot?
So that wasn’t some weird bit of socratic irony? I would have replied, but I assumed you were just screwing around.
Fenris, good to see you in the Pit. Stop by more often.
Yes, askeptic, you’ve been annoying. It never seemed intentional, just grating, so I’ll cut you the same slack as I do dantheman and lobley and county and all the other people who annoy me, and just ignore it. Just try to take a crap less often in the pit.
ETF: I have been told you wer nice, why am I the acception? BTW as to Opals realm, unfortunately I have the same username there. I have tried to be more carefull over there and so far no one from here has taken their attacks there.
Wikkit: Not sure I appreciate the company in which you place me. If I may apologize once again, I am sorry to have annoyed you. I try to exchange ideas and sometimes inject humor. Unfortunately usually my humor is so stupid that people who respond obviously did not understand it.
Also I really like the fact that I can get feedback on my thought process, it is a valuable way to see how I have been stupid. Unlike the famous put down, I would rather say something stupid, and be shown why it is stupid so I will not continue to think something stupid.
Lib:your indignation is getting pretty lame.
But Lib’s post count is like a rocket…
OK, you WHOOSHED me. (not terribly hard to do)
I am still dying to know if the OP owlofcreamcheese just forgot the B (Bowl of cream cheese), or really wanted to be known as a nocturnal avian predator made of a dairy product…
Ah, sorry about that. I was answering this post of yours:
And trying to inject a little humor into the whole sig business. Obviously I failed miserably. (Not for the first time!) Shoulda thrown a wink smiley or two (or two dozen) in there, huh? I apologize if it bothered you – well, heck, obviously it DID bother you or you wouldn’t have mentioned it. So enough with the weasely pseudo-apology phrasing! I’m truly sorry I upset you. I meant to be merely teasing you in a goodhearted way, and tripped over my own clown shoes. :eek: Peace?
It’s a lot more easygoing there anyway; different focus and all that. Both boards have their differing charms and divergent delights. Will I see you in the game threads? 
Or maybe the OP dropped an H from an appellation meant to immortalize the dying protests of said dairy product as it enters the Great Mixing Bowl of Cheesecakedom.
