Your response will be the sounds of whimpering from the direction he was last seen running off with his tail between his legs.

Three things, **Esprix** :

1. Thank you for thanking me. But you left Michigan J. Frog of your list of thank-yous and his little froggy heart is broken and as a result, he may join the lilly-pad invisible.

B) Actually, I don’t think that **Lucki** was on his side so much as feeling sorry for the schlub.

iii) Regarding this comment,

I’m willing to bet that his response’ll be found in [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=87747) thread. Possibly “It was just a joke” or “LALALALA I win LALALLALA”…oh. Wait. Didn’t he already do that one?

**Hampster** , you wanna split a Coke, or suttim? I’m a little thirsty. Been here for a while, you know. Passed out in the back, albeit, but here, nonetheless. You know dude, I totally think **BDGR** is gonna turn this into a 3-way fight. **Weirddave** totally laid it out for everyone too. That was awesome. **tavalla** , you got any original potato chips there? I don’t like that salt-n-vinegar shit. And come on **Nightingale** , scoot over. You’re totally cramping my elbow room. I wanna spread out and get the best view. Oh, anyone got a cig for **HP Ellison**? It’s his first Pit Post.

_stops suddenly and looks around_

What!? I MISSED IT! You’re kidding!

_throws bag of cookies at the ground_ God DAMN IT! I knew it! Oh MAN! I totally missed the throw-down of the year!

_sigh_ At least the flaming waaas nice.

_sniffle_ I can’t believe I missed it. A hearty round of applause to all who were involved, however.

ES-PRIX!!!  
For those who just now rocked…I sal- **UTE** YOU!!!  
But seriously, well worth the wait, bugbites and eventual hangover. Anybody got a Gay Pride flag to wave?? Hey…wait…I think mine’s in the car…I’ll be right back.

Is it over? I only just got here! Hadda come all the way from Canada ya know. I hope it’s okay, I mean I am still a newbie and all. I’ll just sit back here on this patch of grass. Hey Hashiriya, sorry about that John 3:16 sign. (leans it against a tree) There, now it’s out of the way. I’ve never seen a real flame war before, but I wanted to come cheer for Esprix, cause, you know, he tried to keep Eduardo and all.(Um, no thanks, I’ll pass on the Scorpo-nuts). I brought my own iced-tea and I’ve got a couple bags of marshmallows to share. Anyone want one? Please tell me I didn’t miss it all!

I, um, sure don’t want to be pushy or anything, but I can only stay until 11 and then Mr. Zoo gets the computer.  
Esprix, I think I have a lighter in my backpack if you want to borrow it!  
Sorry, you guys! I guess I’m just excited! Maybe it’s the sugar from these marshmallows!
