Someone should really go tell **Case Sensitive** that he can come out of his room now. ---

> [@silenus](#): > > Is it time to start a Pit thread about the lack of a sense of humor among our members? Even an attempt by the Mods to have a little fun gets critiqued to death. It’s really fucking sad that people can’t let off a little steam without some yahoo riding their ass about how they could have done it better, or they didn’t get the joke, or because they didn’t get the joke, it wasn’t funny/was offensive/killed puppies. I got it. I just didn’t think it was all that funny. _I_ could have come up with better ideas, and that’s saying something. > [@](#): > > Is it just “stick-up-the-butt” Brits? Nah. I know too many Brits. They mostly have sublime senses of humor. Well, looking back on the thread…just “stick-up-the-butt” me, really. > [@](#): > > I would like to go one record as being one who got it, thought it was funny and appropriate, and laughed all day. If that makes me a suck-up in some peoples eyes, so be it. Suck rocks. Then I guess I’d like to go on record as being one who got it, thought it was appropriate but not funny, and didn’t laugh at all. I don’t think you’re a suck-up; we all just have a different appreciation for what’s funny. I personally think this wasn’t, to be honest. But that’s just as valid an opinion as everyone elses. ---

Having just read the monstro thread only confirms what I had thought before: this one was pretty lame. It was too obvious, with thirty Mods posting at once, but the monstro one, IMO, was pretty frackin’ hillarious. Good idea, just a little bit too much fighting as to make it unbelievable. Still, mods and admins, thanks for it anyway; this board has had a real serious streak these days. I tip my cardigan sweater in the collective you’ns general direction. ---

The one thing that made me wonder whether it was really a prank was that lately (including, specifically, yesterday) **C K Dexter Haven** has been increasingly acting like that stuck-up moralistic prig [George Kittredge](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0032904/?fr=c2l0ZT1kZnx0dD0xfGZiPXV8cG49MHxrdz0xfHNvdXJjZWlkPW1vemlsbGEtc2VhcmNofHE9cGhpbGFkZWxwaGlhIHN0b3J5fGZ0PTF8bXg9MjB8bG09NTAwfGNvPTF8aHRtbD0xfG5tPTE_;fc=1;ft=22;fm=1). Sure, people went overboard with the “100 \_\_\_\_\_ Characters” threads in Cafe Society yesterday, but a real mod wouldn’t have needed to close them _en masse_. If he wanted to kill “100 Waiting for Godot characters” or “100 My Dinner with Andre characters,” I’ve got no problem with that. But some of those threads were legit, and were following the basic idea (once informed of the ground rules, which came late in at least one such thread), and it was interesting to see the quotes that people pulled up for the characters. But apparently Mr. Stuffy decided to toss the baby out with the bathwater, and closed them all down.
