Things like this are never short-lived. We’ll be paying for this for years to come. On any other board I’d be paying for posting that rickroll for years to come. Fortunately people realized (I hope) that I wasn’t trying to get anybody, whereas you are committing crime after crime with full intention when you post your leet-speaking nonsense. ---

[QUOTE=Waverly] … Even the carry over here might have been cute and mildly amusing the first time… or the second… but if the person doing it for the 6,240,851st time thinks it’s funny, then… I don’t know what. You tell me. Can that person really think it’s funny? [/QUOTE] You do realize that for a joke to get funnier with repetition it needs a straight man, right? ---

All you miserable nay-sayers: [LOLGod](http://www.vexappeal.com/lolgod/). How can you dispute the humour in John the Baptist saying: **1: baptisin yr peeps, 2: ??? 3: prophet!** (and the feast of Cana: “oh hai, I r make ur water has flavr now”.) ---

[QUOTE=SmartAleq] I’m sorry, but do you really think a glurger would recognize the humor in [this lolcat?](http://icanhascheezburger.files.wordpress.com/2007/06/schrodingers-lolcat1.jpg) Are you also saying YOU recognize no humor in it? If so, I’m so sorry things are that broken for you… Something I’m noticing lately–those who laugh at lolcatz are becoming a lot harder to piss off than those who profess to be haters. I think there’s something in the lolcat meme that renders aficionados impervious to provocation in general and cranky naysayers in particular. Lapsing into lolcat-speak is like an incantation against irritation and for some of us it works beautifully. YM clearly V! Humerz, I has it! 😛 [/QUOTE] This got ignored. Best lolcat I’ve ever seen, btw. What do all of you anti-lolers think? Do you really not think this is funny and smart? ---

If 50 people–I say _50 people_ a day walk in, ask if they can has cite if they brought pie, and walk out. Can you imagine that? Can you imagine 50 people a day walking in, saying HAI OPAL! (once, for 20 minutes) and walking out? Why, people’d think it was some kind of a movement. And friends, that’s what it would be: The SDMB anti-Waverly movement. And all you gotta do to join is lollerfy your next post in this thread when it comes around to hit the submit button… ---

I dunno. Sometimes I just ignore dumb stuff, especially from people who don’t know any better. They score that as a point? Good for them. They deserve some sort of high during their miserable dumb person days. ---

**Waverly** , that’s awfully condescending and insulting, considering you’re talking about people who just have different tastes than you. I’d hate to see you argue against people who disagree with you about important things. ---
