I dunno. Now I can win the most pit threads started about a non mod in shortest period of time prize. ---

Duely noted. Give it some time. One of our administrators is bound to finish the pork butts and taters soon enough. They’ll come online, see this mess and my e-mails, and all will be fine. Not to worry. ---

Whoopee, for a while I had my own pit thread, albeit one by an idiot. ---

You are a sissy, and a jerk, Coldfire. ---

And I forgot. Putz. All this so you could rag someone about posting on Roxexes being overpriced? That makes you a putz by definition. ---

Compare Pit’s comments to his earlier one’s “Is that the best you can do, this is the pit little one”. It makes me giggle. ---

Still clicking refresh and laughing my ass off from the aftershocks of the Pit Meister. Of course, not being a moderator, I don’t have to deal with the mess. I guess masochism is therapy for some people. Personally, I prefer it to come from a hot looking dominatrix. ---

Glad to be an evening’s entertainment. This place was getting too stale. ---

Gee, I remember when Mr. Meister first joined the boards… my first thought was “Hey, here’s a short-lived screen name…” Congrats, Mr. Meister, for winning _El Diddly_’s “Flash-in-the-Pan” award. ---

red\_ don’t- if he’s not banned yet, he’ll probably come back to flame you- and it’ll start out ‘You jerky poopy head, you’re not the boss of me- I can do math any time I want to…’ 😃 ---

Sorry, I just wanted to get in on this. [sub]Wow, my first real “Me, too” post, and it’s in the Pit, no less.[/sub] So, what’s the deal, **PM** , you decide it was taking to long to get your ass bounced so you figured you make a run for the border? Speed things up a little? A lot? Well, knock yourself out. No really, run into a wall headfirst. Fall off the back of your couch. Throw yourself down a flight of stairs. Use that mini-trampoline in the living room and don’t dunk near the ceiling. Please. ---

Fuck fuck fuck! So close. “…and don’t dunk near the ceiling.” should of course be “…and don’t _duck_ near the ceiling.” [sub]This is, of course, why I don’t do “Me, too” posts[/sub] ---

See, I knew that I must have missed something the first time I visited this thread. Then I take a **real look** at the BBQ pit and it dawned on me what you guys mean. So I’m a little slow… [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ban-the-bastard/55160.md?page=2)
