Ok this is the pit. Guin… I gotta ask, when was the last time you were in the presence of sunlight for more than an hour? Damn I best your so damn pasty and white you would look good matched up with the Pilsbury dough boy! Hell, 5K plus post in such a short span of time, plus time for sleeping, eating and you Internship (if you were an overweight Jewish Girl I would LOVE to send you a box of chocolates for chirstmas) YOu HAVE to have no life… shall I continue? You are obviously well read, you always seem to post with knowledge of current and historical events, I can only assume you bathe. All time consuming tasks. Yep to much going on already no room for a life. **The Rest of You Bastards!** What kinda life do **YOU** have playing “who has the bigger dick” Just gotta come in here and puff your loser chests and show us **YOUR** accomplishments in posting a great deal more than is probably healthy.:rolleyes: **Guin** ok actually, I find your posts interesting and insightful. Not many Americans care to study or are interested in Russian or Soviet history literature and such. Granted you tend to focus more on the Czars and I on the soviet poets. Politically I disagree with you almost every time. Yet I think you are a valued Poster here at the SDMB. **Everybody else** No offense, but I was on a roll 🙂 But this is **The Pit** flame here… if your going to post a we love Guin thread post in in MPSIMS where it belongs. happy feel good threads in the pit? It just aint natural. Osip ---

Well, dammit, Guin IS a bitch! I go out-my classes, my schoolwork, work, and other stuff. And yes, I am pale, but I try to avoid the sun, as I burn like crazy. ---

You know, I think I might be Guin’s opposite. I read everyday, and post very, very infrequently. Things seem to roll along well without my input. I think I enjoy the difference from my everyday life, where I thoroughly enjoy expressing my opinion, frequently. Apricot ---

**Crafter Man Crafter Man** Does whatever a Crafter can Eh, so **Guin** posts a lot. Who really cares? At least she’s doing something productive with her time on the internet - not one-handed typing like others do. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by leander \* > \*\*Green Bean > > No, they’re not all losers, just you. > > Leander \*\* Let’s compare the loserness, shall we? HIM: Spends a good chunk of time participating in communication via a message board. Exchanges many thoughts and ideas, provides information and entertainment for people who read his words. Makes friends through an electronic medium. YOU: Feels the need to go to a message board to call someone a “loser” for going to a message board. Does nothing worthwhile or constructive. So, what do you think, bub? Who’s more the loser, the person who does something worthwhile, or the person who does nothing worthwhile? ---

Yes, 'Boobs, it’s the Spiderman song. My point was that it could be mistaken for one or the other… by a mentally deprived (depraved?) person like me, at least. 😃 ---

Most of my postcount has come only in the past two months or so. I can’t speak for anyone else, but my job is such that I can keep the MB up in the backgrouns and flip back to it throughout the day. ---
