Well, there was that unfortunate immersion blender incident.
But hey, who didn’t experiment a little during college?
[/QUOTE]
For some it ends there. For others blenders are a gateway appliance. I used to think it was funny, but then a friend of mine died trying to insert a dishwasher, and the laughter stopped.
Especially for the dishwasher.
Whose name, IIRC, was Donnie.

OK, this is going to take the wind right out of this thread, but…
Autolycus, I’m sorry I crapped up your MPSIMS thread. If I wanted to cuss you out, I should have Pitted you. I do think you have problems, and your rape issue really did upset me. But you’re right, my yelling at you won’t help. It made me feel better, because you sure do piss me off, but now, I just feel bad. Feel bad for you, hope you do better, don’t want to have a pissing contest with you and call names. I hope we can bury the hatchet, and no, not in your ass.
Epimetheus, I still don’t know who you are. Oh well. I guess you could go fuck yourself, maybe? 
[/QUOTE]
Not saying you care about my opinion, but I am having to rethink my opinion of you based on this. I suppose a certain type get under your skin and you blow up, happens to all of us, and dragging up cites, I see other threads (I didn’t participate in) where you were the paragon of kindness and wisdom.
So, I apologize for my characterization and sincerely beg forgiveness for my insults

I feel for your friend (and poor Donnie). I hope he can find a nice fry cook named Raoul. Wait, on second thought…

I show that thread as being in the Pit. I also have very strong feelings about children and standardized testing, and have no regrets about what I posted in that thread.
I wasn’t trying to be rude or condescending. I like olives. I think she overshared, and I could see why people were jumping on her, because inconsistent stories bother me too. Sometimes, nice people get shotgunned on the SDMB. I was, in my own flawed and maybe too harsh way, trying to warn olives. I hope I didn’t make her feel bad.
But I see now on preview that you’ve apologized, and I appreciate that. I bear you zero umbrage. I rub you the wrong way, completely unintentionally, it seems. I know how that goes, and since I still don’t really know who you are, how can I hold a grudge? Bygones.
QED, I do know who you are. I regret our former dust-up. I hope we can shake hands and leave it behind.
Sweet Karana. This is the fucking pit, for fuck’s sake. Enough with all the touchy-feely sunshine and rainbow crap. Back to the verbal violence forthwith!
I have spoken.
So mote it be.

As do I. It was an ugly incident which did not spotlight either of us at our best; let’s put it behind us, now, where it belongs. FWIW, I offer my most sincere apologies for my remarks at that time–they were neither called for nor deserved.

Hey, I’m having a moment here so feel free to kiss my motherfuckin’ ass, peckerhead.

Don’t worry, give it a few minutes. There will be another pit thread filled with rage and ire along shortly for you.
You could try the **Lib ** vs. **Lissener ** thread, that appear to be warming back up and even includes drama queens and a few fuckwits. 
I’ll pass on it though.

I don’t think I can take any more Autolycus .
It was a giggle initially but it’s creeping me out now. I’m done.
His posting style bespeaks a really damaged human being. By what traumas or dramas I cannot imagine. I can, however, imagine how much pain you’d need to be escaping to be acting out in this fashion.
I’d like to think I’ll never be the sort of person who gets their jollies watching the dog and pony show of those truly damaged by life, no matter how willingly they twirl and spit.
I cannot convince myself that even participating only as an onlooker has no karmic cost.
I wish you peace, Autolycus.

Be careful throwing those gauntlesses. They’re much trickier than the gauntfuls.

And here I thought a gauntless was a female gauntlet … thanks for fighting my ignorance.

Isn’t it kind of ridiculous to accuse somebody of being an attention whore and then launch into tirades feeding the “whore” with more attention? And since when has being an attention whore been a bad thing, anyway?
Autolycus, you seem like a nice enough guy but how did you get 6 or 8 sets of parents? And they’re all in this thread offering all kinds of unsolicited advice about getting sober, going to school, etc.
By the way, you should lose a few pounds and get a haircut.

I’m so relieved, because it’s been bothering me for a while. I’m happy to leave it behind and consider us cool from here on out.
Thanks for Pitting me, Autolycus. I’ve resolved a couple of things in this thread that I thought were never going to get worked out. Please know that I do wish you well, completely aside from whatever else I might think about you.
Well, this turned into a fucking Kumbaya party, didn’t it.

If you’re referring to Helen Mirren, I never agreed to that.

I think you have stumbled onto the whole problem with calling people whores in the first place. The loudest denouncers are often the best customers.

I will most certainly not ask Dame Judi Dench to appear in anything involving buttsex! (Unless Stephen Fry and Jude Law play Oscar Wilde & Bosie again in it- that might take the curse off and serve to channel the buttsex, but the budget just went through the roof…)
