Damn, he didn’t even make it the day. I thought it’d be at least another week. Oh, and **Giraffe** is a dildo. 😃 ---

[I’m just putting this out there](http://www.spike.com/video/vibrating-giraffe/2758053). You know. (What’s wrong with Obama’s ties? I did a Google search expecting pineapples or smiley faces or something, and some of them are… striped? Okay, then.) ---

I don’t frequent the BBQ Pit very often, but every time I have in the last few months, that fucker has AT BEST annoyed the shit out of me. Fuck him, I’m very glad that he’s gone. Joe ---

[QUOTE=Giraffe] And, in an example of fortuitous timing, the mod and admin consensus just came in. It’s time for **2.5 Inches of Useless** to go bye-bye. Edit: I’m leaving this thread open in case people want to discuss the decision to ban and/or call me a dildo. [/QUOTE] Well in all honesty I think you could have given 2½" maybe just one more chance at not being a strap-on dildo without batteries. Yes he was a twat of the first water but let’s face it people he was so fucking funny it was worth leaving him on as our resident twat. 😛 You’ll remember Small British Shop Keeper (or summink) and a few more than have fallen by the wayside, pretty soon there will be not a single twat on this board…except for moi 😃 Then you’ll be sorry, mark my words. :dubious: your lives will be a dark and meaningless void. ---

[QUOTE=eleanorigby] Sadly, he is no longer with us. Obama in a bow tie would look too much like Don Knotts, IMO. [/QUOTE] [Or somebody else.](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/41/Farrakhan.jpg) No, not such a good idea in my view. ---

Since Two and a Half Inches was finally firmly escorted out stage left, I’ll go ahead and close this one. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-do-not-understand-why-this-thread-was-closed/459930.md?page=2)
