Funny, in the USA, it’s traditional to knock women up on Saturday night, after their fifth jello shot (ba-dum-ting). :smack:

How does one become annoying enough around here to get pitted? If I hang out long enough, will I eventually get pitted by someone, or is some sort of mark of special annoyance ability?

And if anyone would like to come over and sort me out, please do… I never get around to organizing these days.

They have but, like **hulu** , their TV-replay webs do not let you watch stuff unless your IP gives the right location.

In certain dimensions.

I can be pretty fucking abrasive, and it took over a year for someone to get the balls to Pit me.

Can’t reach anything streaming from work, but a Google of the URL shows me that it’s from Episode 12 of Season 2, so I have a very good idea of what the clip shows. 😃

Pretty sure that a Torrent wouldn’t care.

I was up late last night reading threads as edifying as this one.

Could someone start a thread and tell me to take a nap? Like an eight-hour one?

Thanks.

This person is a troll. We just had to ban it from our forum for jerking our membership around for a few weeks. It actually gloats about this on another thread here. We have its real name. It also does this on pregnancy boards and others. For more info, you can contact me via private message here. They are a fucked up individual.

Is it a person, a collective or an inanimate object? I’m not going to care about your posts until you decide on a pronoun.
