Oh, I forgot to mention this. Seriously? I can see you right now: “I just called someone a nitwit!” Did you get that from Highlights magazine?
You’re probably enjoying a little thrill as you think to yourself that you might be crossing the line from Gallant to Goofus. But you’re still a pre-pubescent boy with a name that could have come from the Zappa family hanging out in the Raiders locker room during a debate between Andrew Dice Clay and Richard Pryor.
Pussy.
It’s actually been bugging me for some time, but I just haven’t had the energy. Standing on the shoulders of giants and all that.
But you have piqued my desire to invent a way to hit people with a rolled-up newspaper over the internet.
Now, there’s a pussy image. I say use a mallet.
Electric shocks, baby. The computer already has electricity in it!
Any thread with “Lame”, “Weak”, or OG forbid “Mini-rants” right in the thread title should be moved or closed, IMO.
If it’s that lame, and it always is, why can’t the tards post in MPSIMS?
and WALLAH! ‹^› ‹(•¿•)› ‹^›
That’s “voila”, you uneducated oaf.
Hey, just trying to keep in the spirit of things.
Different strokes for different folks. The mailman thread was interesting to me. Although I guess this one is too, because here I am posting in it again, right? But my initial reaction to this OP was, “ugh, this stupid rant again?” People aren’t ranting about things that Giraffe thinks are rant-worthy. Boo fucking hoo.
I’m sorry I’m not more riveted by the outrageousness of this thread topic.
Wait, actually I’m not sorry at all.
ETA: That being said – and I am really only bothering to edit this post because of the total rarity of what I’m about to say – I agree with Carol Stream that if you’re already announcing that your thread is lame or weak in the actual thread title, you might as well not post it at all.
omigod, ULTIMATE BURN!!!
Out of genuine curiosity, why are there no caps in my quoted text or username? Did you actually go to the trouble of retyping the entire quote? Why not just hit the Quote Post button?
Only an ignoramus could not envy and admire your scholarly mastery of smiley language.
Gfactor, can you please recommend some threads that are good for the Pit?
Then I can decide if you are right.
“The BBQ Pit is the forum for rants about the outside world…”
That could mean a lot of things, so I just want to know what you think that means. Like, in terms of what should be put in this forum.
Thank you!
That’s very general, but with any set of rules, you can’t just read the opening phrase and stop. The rules that I quoted explain the sorts of things that aren’t appropriate, and if those get reported, I move them. I don’t necessarily have a vision of what’s “good for the pit.” Some of the threads that **Giraffe **and others cited above are examples of threads that don’t belong in the Pit.
Thank you for reading and responding.
It’s supposed to be ‘Thank you for reading and responding, cockmongler.’
This is why we can’t have nice things in the Pit.
Unfortunately my, like, totally severe WASP training only allows me to think things like that, not write or say them.
(Shyeah, right. :D)
Maybe it would help if you typed out the words FO EN ET IK ALY.
GEEF ak TOR is a CAWK mun guh ler.
Try it and see!
Okay, that was funny. I swear, it took me a couple of reads to get that! 
Be funny if this thread were bounced to MPSIMS.
tldr.
