Okay, it took me a minute.
Anyone want to explain the difference between My China Conquers US thread and the Alex P Keaton thread?
My initial impressions:
My Thread was an evil conservative plot concocted for the sole reason to fuck with liberals.
The Alex P Keaton thread is just a fun hypothetical thread, which just happens to fuck with conservatives
@oldoaktree is yet another poster that I won’t even bother to put on ignore because I don’t expect it to be around long enough to be worth the trouble. I don’t intend to engage with it outside of the pit, but I figure I can help it on its way by reading just enough to report.
Well we are in the Pit, so engage. What post outside of the Pit are you intending to report? The MPSIMS thread was started because the Mods shut down my original Pit thread and told me to open a new one there.
I have a tremendous suggestion for you, @oldoaktree - and for the entire board.
For 21 years you were content to lurk and read what others contributed. This was obviously satisfactory, as, if you are correct, this lasted 21 years.
Now you have finally signed up, and you appear to find the actual posting part hard and there are mysterious rules that you must follow.
My suggestion is this: go back to the relative simplicity of lurking once again. I am sure you will be happier.
Oh for Pete’s sake, Kenobi has been here 21 years, not me.
My apologies, I can’t be bothered to read all that you post.
My suggestion still stands, regardless of the specific amount of time you spent lurking.
I wonder if he means old Ben Kenobi? The guy that lives in the Jundland Wastes in the Western Dune Sea?
Well thanks for acknowledging you don’t know what you’re talking about and haven’t bothered to actually read my posts . Forgive me if i don’t take your suggestion.
I beg your pardon, sir, but do you know what he’s talking about?
I don’t think even he knows that…
You’d better play back the whole thing.
I dunno about you all, but I now have deep doubts that he is Tony Orlando.
And he sure as hell isn’t Dawn.
LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ME, LOOKAT MEEEEEEE! OK then.
But are you Anti-Semantic?
This is where I’m at too.
There’s also this song, which I was introduced to when my toddler son received a “Rockin’ Rider Pony” from his grandparents.
Maybe oldoaktree’s also a toddler?
ETA: that’s a random kid I found doing a google search, not my kid 
My oldest daughter used to have a pony like that when she was a toddler, she got it on her 1st birthday. She was terrified of it at first, like “THAT MONSTER IS GOING TO EAT ME!!!” before it became her favorite toy. Not the exact same one though because I don’t recognize the song in that video. But close.
Now I picture OOT posting from a tablet while rocking on a talking pony.
My little guy was never all that into it, and my wife found the song infuriating for some reason. I think it ended up going to goodwill.
