Well, let’s be fair. He’s moved past “Keep on Truckin’” and “10-4 Good Buddy.” We’re at least into the 80s. Heck, in a few weeks, it might be up to “Someone Set Up Us The Bomb.” ---

Hell, even I would defend you against SnakeSpirit, and I don’t believe you’ve ever said anything to me other than “you’re a moron” and whatnot. ---

> [@Bryan Ekers](#): > > Oboy, Oboy, Oboy! My second pitting! And the first one doesn’t really count because it was closed before I even knew about it. Oh, well fuck you very much! The extremely lame Pitting I made about you last year doesn’t count, huh? Not good enough for ya, eh? “Oh, excuse me while I go play the grand piano! Look at me, I have an grand piano!” Granted, you may have remembered it better had it still held the honors of Lamest Pitting Ever. Alas, that proud trophy gets ripped from my mitts on a near-weekly basis. Hrumph. ---

> [@Priceguy](#): > > “Beam me up Scotty” is from the 80s? In what universe? In the universe of bumper stickers. That one was popular in the mid-80s along with “You’re ugly and your mother dresses you funny” and “Don’t drink and drive - you might hit a bump and spill your drink.” ---

> [@Bryan Ekers](#): > > Well, I’m willing to bet devilsknew, Aeschines and Peter Morris will jump to his defense faster than they would to yours or mine. Good point. Considering that he’s complained about a “gang of eleven” on the boards who are out to get him, I should have said “name twelve.” But I thought the large number would just confuse him. ---
