There are five subject titles on the front page that start “I Pit…” (althugh one has been moved).

C’mon people!!! Think of something else, maybe “J’Pitte”. You are in the pit we know you are pitting something. That’s like going to MPSIMS and starting a thread, “I must share this mundane, pointless stuff about…”

We are all friends here, well most of us, anyway, so I will refrain from calling you all goat felchers, just misguided, 😛 Let’s pick up the pace, leave 110% on the field, put our best foot forward and never give in. You want the truth? You can’t handle the truth! Forget it Dopers, it’s Chinatown!

It’s better than “In which (poster) pits (whatever they’re pitting)…”

Haven’t seen that in a while, though, unless I’m just not looking.

Or “Resolved: Blah, blah.” Lame high school debate format, that’s what that is.

Nothing beats the simple elegance of “Fuck \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_”.

Unless perhaps you add “six ways from Sunday”, “and the horse /he/she/it rode in on”, “up every conceivable orifice with rusty farming implements”, etc. etc.

I peet moss.  
I pit bulls.  
I pat myself on the back.

At least he’s not pitting cows. At least not in this thread.

Maybe he’ll start an udder thread, detailing his beef.
