This is like the third year in a row you’ve started a pit thread for this stupid list and, just like the previous years, your OP consists of a link and little else. Put some effort into it, ya lazy bastard. ---

Well, it is kind of like a link to 50 pittings. Most of which are pretty good. ---

Put some effort into it, ya lazy bastard. Hey, at least this time he linked to the correct year. You cannot expect the man to leap directly into competence in one fell swoop. Encourage his mini-steps along the way. ---

Tough concept for LORD AShTAR. It is a new list every year. That is an arcane concept for some people to understand. Perhaps he can be introduced to an idea like the calendar. ---

He’s not bitching about that, you crazy fucking old man. He’s bitching about the fact that not only did you not see the two previous threads about this year’s list, but that you continually put zero effort into fleshing out an OP other than a title and a link - and that you do this year after year. ---

Are you pitting them because you didn’t make the list? ---

The Tea Party is the 9th most loathsome person of 2010? Okaaay. Meh. The list is idiotic, and I think we’ve got far funnier (and smarter) Pitizens. ---

Before checking the link, I predict that of the 50 items: 10 will be obscure people I’ve never heard of 20 will be “loathsome” celebrities, seemingly included just to fill the list with familiar names, and not because of anything in particular the celebrity did 10 will be “loathsome” politicians, for daring to do the jobs they were elected or appointed to 10 will have some minor merit Checking now… Well, that was dumb. ---

Wasn’t it another one of these tiresome 50 Most Loathsome (Note: Spelled correctly) Pit threads that got derailed over gonzo’s use of the word “faggy”? That was one of my favorites. ---

The last one I remember he linked to a list that was 2 years old. He put about as much effort into that thread as this one, however. What is ‘lothesome’? Is that like ‘slothesome’? -XT ---

So can we agree gonzomax himself is a better candidate for the list than some of the selections? ---

I find this list mostly meh, but I hadn’t seen the Bush wiping his hand on Clinton clip before so there was some worth to it. ---

Leave it to gonzo, he posts a link to 50 pitable people and he garners the most comments. That takes special talent. Or the talent of the “special”. ---

Has anyone found this list funny? Every time he, or someone else, posts a link to it, they imply it’s the height of snark. I just don’t see it. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/buffalo-beast-50-most-lothesome/570175.md?page=2)
