Goddamnit, mouthbreather. Shit, call me a yahoo, will ya. Hell, you’re the guy from freakin’ Atlanta. And I (well, my company) bought you drinks and a sandwich even. What the hell happened to that “southern hospitality?”
And don’t ever spill my drink again, or I’ll wring you out of here like a filthy bar rag.
Manhattan deleted one of my posts once (along with several other posts, including the ones mine were responding to) in a GQ thread that veered off into Great Debates territory once. (And no, it wasn’t about drugs.) I think the severed horse’s head that I found in my bed that night was totally unrelated, though.
No animals were harmed during the editing of that thread. All edits are supervised by the American Humane Society. The Straight Dope Message Board is committed to the production of cruelty-free internet content[sup]1[/sup].
[sup]1. Well, unless you count the “consensual cruelty” that seems to be arising in so many threads lately. Who knew there were so many kinky people posting to the boards? I’m definitely going to have to start going to more doperfests wearing leather.[/sup]
I’ve been told not to post certain kinds of links by manny (which wasn’t on purpose, as I’ve said now at least three times), and Lynn requested in email that I change my sig.
And UncleBeer told me not to get so bent up over hijacked threads, though I suspect that was just fatherly advice op something.
Why the HELL are all of you posting this CRAP in my forum?!? If I want to read this kind of drivel from the Teeming Minions I’ll put on my hip-boots and wade into the BBQ Pit.
OFFICIAL WARNING: If I ever see this kind of excrement on the IMHO again, I’m banning the whole lot of you!
I haven’t been warned, exactly (I’m still a newbie), but Manny keeps closing threads immediately after I post to them in GQ. I sort of take that as a hint.
Well, that tears it–I shall hack into the Chicago Reader’s servers right away and change Czarcasm’s status from “Moderator” to “Fascist Communist Jackbooted Satan-Worshipping Un-American Fundamentalist Puppy-Kicking Taliban-style Tyrant”. So there!
Please, do forgive Czarcasm. He’s such a dear but so often cranky with pain since the surgery, y’know. They missed a few staples and they drift to sensitive places.

WHOSE forum, sonny? Now drink your codeine and here’s your doughnut pillow. Ah, ah! Put down the whip! Let Auntie Veb handle this…
These small corrections are necessary sometimes, hmmm? And you know what they say, it hurts us more than it hurts you.
Oh, piffle. “They” are idiots; the black leather and handcuffs weren’t clues?
I’m so glad we had this little discussion.

[sub]For the humor impaired, Czar is a total hoot to work with and as far as I know, he’s never had surgery in his life. The whips and black leather thing, though…[/sub]
Just for your information, generally I don’t warn people who steal my chocolate. I let my cousin Vinnie go warn them instead. And Vinnie doesn’t hold with all this new-fangled electronic stuff, either, he prefers the personal touch.
