It’s the fear. Also caused me to butcher the sentence when re-writing it.
Funny how this started out as a pitting of C.K. and instead has mostly been about poor Tom Gerber, who has probably forgotten all about his childhood kickball sins.
Anyway, he’s had the last laugh, as he is now a big-time businessman.
Pretty please?

Ah yes, the classic “a moderator scolded me so I’d better start an indignant Pit thread about it” misfire. Snooooopy, if you hadn’t started this thread, most people would never have even noticed your stupid post in that thread and those that did would have just dismissed it as a bad joke that didn’t work. No big deal – we’ve all had jokes that flopped.
Starting this thread, though, makes you look like a whiny brat. You’ve taken a forgettable misstep and turned it into an embarrassing spectacle. Well done.
That story thread is the third collaborative effort of that genre, and the sixth overall. We’ve figured out a formula to keep the story thread clean and unencumbered while allowing questions and speculations (and even arguments): the control thread. If you had checked, you would’ve seen the control thread. We used to discuss things in the story threads, but that broke the flow of the actual plot lines. Taking all the discussion to e-mail would be unfair to any serious newcomers who want to join in.
So, clean and flowing story thread, and public control thread for discussions.
You broke up the clean lines of the story thread. Kind of annoying, but we could’ve let it pass on, esp since Dex publicly gave enough reason for any adult to see that your little joke wasn’t that nice.
What currently makes you an ass, though, is your opening up this Pit thread to try to champion your childish cause.
If we had a fucko off smiley, I might find it appropriate to use one here. Since we don’t, I’ll by saying this:
Don’t do it again, shut up, grow up.
And although I hate to admit it, Snoooopy’s little escapade had garnered more publicity for the story than it might otherwise have had. Let me say that if anyone wants links to the first two westerns I, or several others, can provide them. If you want to read through them for the backstory and then join the rest of us, well, the more the merrier.
NoClueBoy, what say Sam Nichol’s has a nasty beagle that gets rabies, or run over by a wagon or something? 
Snooooopy…why not just admit “defeat” and axe that this thread be closed. I am usually all for joke posts, even when they re in GQ or GD. But even I can’t defend your post. Maybe if it was way funnier. The pissing in the pool analogy fits. And to be bitching about Dex who IMHO is an ideal mod, well.
Peace?
The post and my admonition were left rather than being deleted, as a warning to others.
Narrative-type threads are different than normal “conversational” threads, and a “joke” that disrupts the narrative flow is no joke.
Sez you.
It was not the first time you made an ill advised “joke” in a thread in which you’ve had nothing of any substance to post. Don’t get pissy when someone slaps your hand for being an asshole.
It was funny, and you were pissing in the pool. You’re both right!
Pissing in the pool is only funny to those who don’t happen to be in the pool themselves.
I figured I’d just let it die a natural death.
Speak for yourself! Golden showers are quite the thing for some people. You Panamanians are so repressed.
Oh come on now Snoop when you yelled at me last week for posting L&O spoilers, and Dex came along to to cane me with a switch he cut off the boxwood in the back yard, I took my whippin’ whimper free, like a man! You need to suck it up.
Is this because I’m a lesbian?
No it’s because you are a thespian. Drama is surely your forte!
It had better be, since the comedy thing doesn’t appear to be working out too well for me.
Not so! You killed at the office party!
