I thought the OP was funny. I never occurred to me that it was anything other than a joke. I just reviewed some of his other threads and some of them were funny too. Like [the one in the Pit about the Visa ad](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=146287). He can’t tell when two black people are identical twins while accusing them of implying that all black people look alike? That’s comedy. I think he’s a troll, but I’d like to keep him. ---

Well, if it’s a joke…If I remember correctly that joke threads are NOT allowed in the Pit. Joke or not, it’s just plain fucking stupid. Good Word. People really like to start the most lamest shit sometimes. BZ00000000 or however many zeros there are in there, your name makes no sense to me either…so fuck off and whatever. BZ000000, bitch zone 00000? big dickhead zone 00000? big fuckedupasshole 00000? Huh? You have no room to talk. Geezus. I don’t hold any Mod or admin to a higher pedestal than the other…come to think of it, none of them are on a pedastal. But your rant is really fucked up and lame. Geezus. :rolleyes: ---

I always liked guys like B0Z0 when I was in school. He lowers the curve. Makes me feel smarter. But if you lower the curve too much, too often, they send you off to the special class and make you ride the short bus. _Now boarding, the big yellow bus back to school. Everyone who’s supposed to be on this bus please form a single-file line by the door-- Whoa, not so fast B0Z0…_ Happy ---

Pretty stupid, in hindsight. Now, where’s my waterpipe? ---

So, **BZ0000** doesn’t like my name, and **Krispy Original** apparently thinks he’s important enough in my world to the degree of me hating him. Yeah, this is comic relief alright. **BZ0000** , you’ve got the correct explanation already. My screen name refers to a song called _Cold Fire_ by the Canadian band Rush. It’s on their 1993 _Counterparts_ album, if you’re interested. And no, the screen name will not be changed. Not now, not ever. Any other questions? ---
