Penny, Naw, your not pissing me off. I dunno, I do take the time to read the posts through before I drool out a response. I guess I just consider it bad form to make statements that have allready been answered further up in the post. It’s a personal feeling, and therefor felt like a good reasion to flame at the moment. * * * “Bones, help that man!” – “Damnit Jim, I’m a doctor not a doc…I’ll get right on it.” ---

I think a thread reaches critical mass at around 40 posts. Everything after that is just rehashed crap. I s’pose the reason is, who is going to read 40 posts? You jump in around 50 or so and just state you opinion…the same opinion of 10 other posts. Why threads go to 100 or more is beyond me…wait? What’s that I hear? It must be a group of people bashing their heads against walls as we speak. You can always tell when it’s happening when people ask for definitions, correct others spelling, go into unrelated topics or my favorite, “no, your not litening to me…what I said was-” * * * “Clatu, Verrata…nector?..neck-tie?” ---

> [@](#): > > Originally posted by kinoons: > … and its just plain annoying to have to explain to some mouthbreather… (not the mouthbreather) the plot halfway through the story. ## Wow! I am now **The** mouthbreather, not just some mouthbreather. I’m flattered. That movie taught me some important lessons in life. 1. I can build a robot that loves me. 2. I can reanimate my dead girlfriend by jamming bits of metal and silicon into her skull. Both are lessons I use on a daily basis… ---

Looks like **Medicine Hawk** could use the same advice as the OP - “The 10 Commandments” GD thread is evidence. However, he’s new, and seems smart, so we’ll let him live… _this time_… {MUHAHAHAHAHAHA!} {ahem} Sorry. 😃 Esprix * * * [Ask the Gay Guy!](http://boards.straightdope.com/ubb/Forum7/HTML/001376.html) (or, if you prefer the Jesusfied version, [Asketh the damn Priest Guy!](http://www.askjesus.org/ask.cgi?http://boards.straightdope.com/ubb/Forum7/HTML/001376.html)) ---

Well, it could have been worse. He could have stolen your identity and spent several hours kinooning it up while you were off doing something else. Don’t worry, everybody is going to get trolled unless they all learn how to fuck each other up the ass and don’t need us anymore. ---

good call, he didnt steal my ident. It deffinately would have sucked to have someone else kinooning up up across the MB. I think I would like to avoid the whole fucking up the ass thing… ---

Kinoons, Be glad it hasn’t gotten to you. I went to bed this morning and got up this afternoon only to find out I had been here all day. If I can post in my sleep, why isn’t my post count higher, it just doesn’t seem right. Anyway I’m sorry the troll got your thread.
