Or is that “ **C K Dexter Haven** is no trouble”? Is this mod real? If so, how has he managed to never, in my experience, piss off anybody here? If he’s not real, same question–hell, we’ve had threads complaining about bots before!

So, I guess this is a salute to the mod so moderate that nobody notices him. SAH-LUTE!

Plus anybody with the cheek to name himself after the ever-suave Cary Grant’s arguably suavest and cheekiest role just _has_ to be cool.

Christ, dropzone, he’s only got a handful of threads to watch anyway. What’s CSR get on the average day, like five posts? Besides, I think you’re wrong that he’s escaped unscathed. I seem to remember a couple people taking him to task a month or two ago in a thread about sneaking into Mormon temples. Of course, they were _wrong_, but that’s neither here nor there. 😛

Now if someone’ll just start a Pit thread about **Veb** , I think we’ll have gotten all of 'em.

I seem to remember somebody complaining about **Veb** , though I can’t imagine why.

I IMed with **Veb** a year or so back, before she became a Mod…I was about to attend a professional function in the big city in her home state, and thought she might also be in town for it, and was hoping to set up a drink date or something. She was a little sporadic in her answers because, she claimed, she was busy chasing her dog through her neighborhood wearing only her underwear.\*

I found this admission to be inexplicably charming, so I wouldn’t take kindly to any Pit threads about her.

**CKDext,** however, I’ve never seen in his underpants, so go ahead and flame him.

- How the dog got into her underwear I’ll NEVER know.\*\*

\*\* You DID see that coming, didn’t you?

With the exception of UI, all posters here came into being after the year 2000.  
They do not remember the history, the inch-long teeth.  
This is a matter better left closed.  
It’s best to move on.

I’ve already posted elsewhere how this Mod (I can’t bring myself to type his name\*) got me confused over probabilities.

He was right, but so what?

\*I know it would have been quicker just to type it, but I wanted to add some dramatic irony 🆒

I notice that **Dex** has not chosen to respond to our charges. As this is The Pit, that is a tacit admission of guilt!

Wow, I feel just like **Satan**! Now I just have to figure out what he’s been charged with.

Didn’t he used to call himself “CKDexterHaven”? If he’s so innocent, why did he find it necessary to change his name? Hmmmm?

To be sure, I believe he used to call himself “CKDextHavn”.

Hey, I dunno about the rest of 'em, but I came into being in 1963.

Is that all you have to say for yourself? But really, how can you even try to deny that you are the least Pitted mod ever.

At LAST! Someone besides the aforementioned CK Dexter Haven who appreciates one of my most favorite movies of all time. And he is a mod, which pretty much precludes my fawning all over him and telling him what a doll he is. Farbeit from me to look coy, drag the old hot tub into the backyard and invite Cary Gr…I mean, CKDexterhaven into the water. I am a LADY, after all. :}

BTW…did you see the musical remake with Grace Kelly, Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby? One of my OTHER most favorite movies. [sub]I think I am establishing a board identity here[/sub]

And the only one who scored an Official Straight Doper Martini Shaker instead of a mug.

Yeah, \<\<Cackle\>\>, and he took **six minutes** in between to ponder the sublime cleverness of the posting THE FIRST TIME OUT.

Bwahahahaha. I love this guy. I do ! I wanna buy him a Grape NeHi !
