Came across this today while surfing the SDMB: [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=5721620&postcount=6](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=5721620&postcount=6) **mindless-repetition-boy** is still ticking…but at least the “OMG!” is gone. ---

Buried deep in the archives of Café Society are a number of threads where **Fenris** and I riff on Heinleiniana. ---

Way cool! If we ever meet in person, I’ll let you touch my autographed copy of _The Past Through Tomorrow_. 😃 ---

I knew you were going to say something this predictable. Anyway, as of now, I’m done with you and your world of stupidity on the SDMB. ---

You are at least bright enough to know that you had an option for not dealing with my ‘world of stupidity’ from the beginning, right? If my little phrases bother you _so much_, you could just ‘ignore’ me and be done with it. But no, you seem to like enjoy it. Hey, as long as you don’t go all ‘It puts the lotion on its skin’ with it, a bit of obsessing isn’t all that bad, I suppose. ---

You are a funny bugger and you can’t help being wrong 🙂 [QUOTE] You are at least bright enough to know that you had an option for not dealing with my ‘world of stupidity’ from the beginning, right?

Slippery yes… but it feels good 😃 You make me shout at the computer (sad but true) but I always look for your posts because you are fun to disagree with. You are someone who crossed the fun-to-hate barrier and became the rude, objectionable chap who I love to see rant 🙂 ---

You are someone who crossed the fun-to-hate barrier and became the rude, objectionable chap who I love to see rant 🙂 Sounds like a marriage to me. Well my marriage at least. So Brutus, you have a ring - the one ring? Go ahead and propose to Miss Kiwi, you two are a match made in heaven. And you won’t even need no lotion for the first night. May I suggest a Las Vegan marriage with an Elvis impersonating vicar. ---

> [@Rune](#): > > Sounds like a marriage to me. Well my marriage at least. So Brutus, you have a ring - the one ring? Loaned it Karl Rove. He kept mumbling something about ‘in the darkness binding them’, and I was all like, ‘Whoa, TMI Karl. I just want it back washed’. > [@](#): > > Go ahead and propose to Miss Kiwi, you two are a match made in heaven. And you won’t even need no lotion for the first night. May I suggest a Las Vegan marriage with an Elvis impersonating vicar. Marry a New Zealanderite? _Scandal!_ But if there is a Elvis impersonator involved, I suppose that will quell my families outrage. But I am modern man, **calm kiwi** , and I expect you to work while I stay at home and raise the horde of Brutlings. ---

Well in that case I will just be the mistress. We can send **Rune** pics of all the action 😃 ---

I’m sure he is panting for the ring action pics. ---

Here is the aspect of **Brutus** I appreciate the most - the perfectly turned phrase. It’s like “lick the sweaty nadsack of defeat” or “geopolitical penis-envy” or the Pitting he did on lawn care. The world is a little brighter because he cares. Regards, Shodan ---

> [@Brutus](#): > > I suppose it’s poor form to abandon your own Pit thread, but I am not sure how to respond, other than [this.](http://www.urbandictionary.com/images.php?imageid=4228) Puts me in stitches, that one. Me too. Seeing that made me laugh so hard that someone came into my office to see what I was laughing at. I have no idea why it’s so funny. Oh yeah, guess I have to say something about **Brutus** , what with him being pitted here and all. Um…how about this? I do not wish death upon you.
