Suit yourself. But as I say, it was pretty clear from post #233 that I was responding to what **What Exit** thought was his argument. And he still falsely accused me of misquoting him.

I dunno WTF? I hit “Go to first unread” and it answered with the “You already posted that, dumbass!” And lo! There it was.

Clearly Bush’s fault.

Strange women lying in ponds and calling people a ‘liar’ is no basis for an OP. A really GOOD Pit OP derives from a mandate from the SD masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony! I mean really…just because some watery tart calls someone a ‘liar’, that’s no basis for a good Pit OP! I mean, if I went 'round saying you (WE) was a ‘liar’ just because some moistened bint in a Pit OP said so, they’d put me away!

Sheesh!

(apologies for shamelessly swiping all this from a truly great scene in The Holy Grail…and also if the OP is a guy instead of a girl. It just works better this way…plus I always wanted to say ‘moistened bint’ in a thread)

So is Al Gore real? If so, has it been proven that Gore isn’t in his house and jet at the same time? Until you prove he’s not with two cites and six quotes which I may or may not choose to accept, then you’re a liar.

I can usually think of the good stuff I should have said 30 mins or so later. But 14 months?

The “OMG Al’s house is a leaky mofo” thread was dumb 14 months ago. It hasn’t aged well.

I want banana bread.

We made 100 Christmas butter cookies tonight. I wish I could offer you one. I do have a strange urge for banana nut bread now.

I know folks throw around the term LOL too loosely, but this, this post made me laugh out loud. The mental imagery is just too much.

Actually, since he was persistently playing childish games in GQ, I insisted that he start providing cites when challenged on his statements or else drop the topic.

He virtually stopped posting in GQ after that.

Best moderating move I ever made. 😃

One of those cartoons where the bulldog latches on to the leg of Bugs Bunny, only to have Bugs step back and reveal that he made up a pipe or a 2x4 or something to look like his leg - but the dog can’t tell the difference and won’t let go. In the cartoon, I seem to remember that Bugs walked the fake leg, dog still attached, over to a cliff or something and startled the dog into letting go, who then fell off the cliff. Is that an option, WE??

This post is cracking me up. You hit the nail on the head perfectly with the Bugs Bunny analogy. If only there were a nearby cliff to dump the ol’ bulldog off…

Thanks - I had to mount a fierce counter-attack to thwart the dastardly Pitting suffered by my comrade **What Exit?** In a battle this epic, I had to [sniff] do my share [/sniff] - like brave Mercutio defending Romeo for foolish honor, only to be smote down in a display of adolescent fury.

A pox on both your houses!!!  
Good lord - I am clearly not reacting to the arrival of my mother-in-law for Christmas very well…😃
