ME? The record holder? Surely you jest! Well, I would be, if it weren’t for the existence of that evil, EVIL Arnold Winkelried.
As far as I can work out, Coldfire is the record holder, with 21.
Manhattan has 13.
Lynn Bodoni has 9.
Gaudere has 7.
bibliophage has 6.
Arnold only has 2.
BTW a strong correlation was evident between starting pit threads about mods and having the status of “Banned”.
It’s cause everyone hates those nasty Dutch folk, with their clogs and their windmills and their tulips, and their marijuana.
Is it true that there’s a rumor going around that he’ll be forced to take a pay cut?

Just for kicks tell us if you would have P2Ped that stuff. It doesn’t make your anger at the implication any less Pitable if you would have(nor Coldfire’s concern any less valid if you wouldn’t).
Liakela, if you’d like to wait a few more hours from this posting time, you could do worse than making inquiries of Australian Dopers in general about this artist. That’s about the time of day I’ve noticed them coming out to play. They might be able to point you toward albums that feature her, without actually listing her in such a way that they would come up in a search of, say the Tower Records website under “Missy Higgins.”
He (she?) said that they were getting bounced errors when emailing; that is why they thought it wasn’t working.
I WAS going to say “How come everyone’s always picking on Coldfire?” But now, courtesy of Desmostylus (hello, hon, nice to meet you!) I see that I SHOULD be saying that about Manhattan. However, since I don’t KNOW Manhattan, I will cease and desist. [sub]although he has my support nonetheless[/sub]
Oh, and I won’t ask it about Lynn Bodoni EITHER, because
A) I DO know her (and I love her dearly, too…)
and
B) I am aFRAID of her, so I don’t want to incur her wrath by supporting her.
Which should give you some idea how careful you all ought to BE in this forum!
How many does David B have? Didn’t he used to get Pitted every week or something at one time?
I was wondering the same thing - I seem to recall David B. as the reigning champion back before manhattan became a mod - although I also seem to recall a subsequent hotly contested . . . uh . . . contest between those two for ‘most Pitted mod’.
Ah, the good old days!
In regards to Coldfire being pitted, I remember an old saying from when I was a Chief Petty Officer. “If your name isn’t on the shit house wall you aren’t doing your job.” Seems to me ol’ Coldie is doing his job.
[hijack]I just have to say that the repeated use of the term “pitted” in conjunction with the phrase “most pitted Mod” gave me a truly horrifying mental image that involved the use of a larger than normal kitchen implement. Perhaps I’ve made too many cherry pies in my day, but I think I need to retire from the Pit for a little while. :eek:[/hijack]
How exactly were those pitting totals figured? Did y’all just do a search for the particular mod’s name in a Pit thread title? Because it’s possible both that the mod’s name in a pit thread title didn’t necessarily mean s/he got pitted and that a mod got pitted without their name being in the thread title.
[/pointless nitpick]
iampunha, I don’t claim that the list accurate. Yes, I did just search for the username in the Pit thread title. I didn’t count ones that were obviously wrong, like “An apology to XXXX”. I also obviously missed any that misspelled the username or used a nickname, e.g. “Coldie”.
I think I won’t. Tell you, that is. :o)
Thanks for that. :o) Have been trying to get ahold of some of my net aquaintances who live in Australia as well. I just don’t know how well known this gal is. Though, in the research I’ve done so far, I’ve found that she’s signed to Eleven records as well as Warner Bros–though she’s not listed as an artist on their site.
Ah well. Looks like I’ll just have to have some patience. The stuff that Radio Netscape Plus was playing all seemed to be off of an ‘Advance Copy’ album. So, maybe soon. Thanks again, though.
Hey, Coldie, if it would make you feel better, I will gladly pit Arnold for ya. He’s from Los Angeles, you know, and we all know about those types…

Twenty one to thirteen? Holy shit, do I have to make some halftime adjustments, or what? Fire the offensive coordinator! Stop letting that dim-witted quarterback call his own plays! Get a couple of safety blitzes scheduled!
Guys, this isn’t just any game today! This is Coldfire! You’ve been preparing all season for this, and I wanna know, right now, if you are men or if you are not. Now get out there and get some Pit threads!
Well, don’t just stand there! Somebody go start a Pit thread about manhattan!
Sorry, this Aussie has never heard of Missy Higgins. Sounds a bit like a C&W singing Muppet, to me.
