Ah, the joys of dealing with ransomware on the old work computer in China. Yep, yep, .CRAB made its arrival known today when I had to download some files from dropbox. I have never used that service before and, given today’s bit of fun, I seriously doubt I will ever use it again.
A word to virus creators: Please kill yourselves. You are of no value to anyone, anything, or any place.
It’s about the death of three rock stars. It has NOTHING to do with patriotism other than having the word “American” in it. Please try not to be more retarded than you usually are.
If you wouldn’t fucking post everything that passes across your alleged to every goddamn thread and you took the time to just post when you can contribute, rather than vomiting everything that you ‘think’ of, you’d get less grief.
Please shut the fuck up some. You already have 1/3d my post count and I’ve been here something like 17 years more than you. Ever hear of the Mark Twain adage? The one that goes “Better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and prove it”? It applies on message boards too. Just…shut up.
Well, that escalated quickly.
Jesus, Fenris, take it easy. Seriously.
I googled American Pie. What I saw was not an act of patriotism.
He’s trying to tell you that posts like “I agree” make you look like a *post padding *noob, and I don’t think that’s what you are or what you want. Just think about that. IIRC, there was a time when post padding got modded, way back when jokes in the pit sent Lynn B. into evil mod mode. Do with this as you please.
this right here
ETA: because I’m still pissed on this subject and cannot be distracted by pie, American or otherwise.
Yah but, kinda…
Take your own advice. Crawl back under your rock, why dont you? Or are you gonna start another harassment campaign?
Whatever helps you get through the night. I won’t bother you again.
First, let me offer some standing applause to Fenris for his post about Beckdawrek.
That’s true. I also don’t need your permission to call you simpleton, a dimwit, an airhead, an imbecile, a blockhead, a cretin, an ignoramus, a dunce, or any of the other phrases that imply that if brains were explosives you couldn’t even blow your own nose. The post padding stupidity that results from your inability to have a single thought without posting it is making this board a dumber, less interesting place. So let me second his request that you just shut the fuck up.
Is that the best you can come up with ? Fucking POST PADDING? No one gives a tiny shit about post count anymore and it’s certainly not a issue. Of course, if we limited posts to those meaningful, you would be unable to post, eh?
Beckdawreks posts have better content that yours or Fenris’s.
Well, by definition, post padders do care about their post count.
No, I think the best bit of my post was where I said that if her brains were explosives, she couldn’t blow her own nose, but if you think that post padding is the best part then you do you.
This is kind of out of left field. Who are you?
Are you referring to MY thread? Did you actually read it? I explained why I posted the thread instead of Googling. Please explain why you thought it was a “dumb question.” Many people responded with great suggestions and seemed to enjoy the discussion.
Please also explain why you think I “got pissed” when I received answers? I did the opposite. I thanked people and told them that I would use their suggestions. I also really appreciated being introduced to some awesome new music and being reminded of some things I had forgotten.
Just because you didn’t like how people reacted to your inappropriate suggestion doesn’t mean there was anything wrong with the thread.
By the way, when complaining about a thread, it is customary and considerate to include a link. Here you go: https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=851035
Also, I am a woman.
Hear her roar. 
Part of her gimmick is that she doesn’t actually read the OP, she just looks for a key word or two and starts free associating from it. Were I her, I might respond to your post by saying something like
"Tee-hee. When you said “get pissed”, I thought about how that means “getting drunk in British. I really enjoy margaritas. Except for tequila part of them which is made from a cactus and the thought of drinking cactus juice makes me think of The Flintstones. Do those dinosaur ribs that Fred eats look tasty to you? They always made me hungry”
They make me hungry too. And Wilma, shit, she’s hot. I think she’s hotter than Betty.
