[QUOTE=What Exit?] Right before you leave, could you do us a favor and let us know who you were? [/QUOTE] But that would be “disappeared”. ☹ ---

How many times has a Guest been banned before they even stuck around long enough to join up? Disappeared socks notwithstanding of course? ---

A couple I can think of offhand, invoking names would be in poor taste though. Here is my problem, I believe the OP may have just been trying\* too\* hard with this one. Sure while what he said is traditionally good flame-out material, it’s just too much too soon. This thread, like his last in the Pit, are not really getting off the ground. No one seems to be taking him very seriously at all. Sigh. ---

[QUOTE=Two and a Half Inches of Fun] I am not sure I want to tell you. I will think about and decide if the posters on this board deserve to know what the reference is. [/QUOTE] I’m all a-tingle with anticipation. Frankly there, **Two and a Half Inches of Phlegm** , you flatter yourself that anyone cares about: (A) The meaning of your screen name; (B) Your opinion of fat people; (C) Any other topic on which you’ve posted. My advice: Don’t subscribe and save your money for something more useful, like a penis pump. ---

Perhaps it’s referring to “fun-size” candy bars? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/biggest-loser-what-a-bunch-of-crybabies/435543.md?page=2)
