I pit Stranger on a Train

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

This has been a long time coming. I pit Stranger for consistently awesome posts on a truly staggering variety of subjects, from ICMBs to foreign relations to, now, martinis. Said posts are always thoughtful, engaging, erudite, patient, and uniformly ignorance-fighting. They often display wit and always display careful consideration and knowledge that is both broad and deep. If Stranger was also a great pianist, world-class lover, and philanthropist, I would not be a bit surprised. I would, however, be even more inclined to the pitting, for all the above reasons.

So outstanding are the posts that I suspect that Stranger is a reverse sock-puppet, that is, a consortium of experts posing as a single poster. Since I have no evidence for this suspicion and am a small and petty person jealous of such wisdom, into the pit!

Put another way, thanks, Stranger, for all your work here.

And Stranger spells better than I do, too.:smack:

A stranger pitting we shall not see.

Yeah, that guy is an asshole*!

*Anybody smarter than me

5

So true. Come for the rocket science, stay for the political humor.

6

I approve of this Pitting. If anything, it doesn’t go far enough.

7

His posts are even better if you imagine them being read by Alfred Hitchcock.

8

I heartily endorse the OP.

I hear he has a nice caboose.
mmm

Let’s not derail the thread. :slight_smile:

When I see Stranger’s name in the Last Post column, I click that thread. Knowledgeable MF’r, he.

And when he took some time off after the POTUS election, I cried like an allergic lamb caught in a bear trap in an underground cave.

In a volcano. On Mercury.

I always imagine he works for NASA.

I always imagined Brain Surgeon. Well, until recently…

13

I saw this thread title, and said to myself, “what, is someone going to pit him for giving too many informed, detailed responses?”.

I guess so.

14

His posts are pretty good. I usually read them. :wink:

15

Yeah, I was thinking, ‘‘OP, this is not going to go well for you…’’

16

I net him once. In a plane. He was normal.

17

Was he the pilot? And the entire crew? And did he build the plane with his own hands?

18

I’ve met him at a Dopefest. Dude’s a flaming asshole with delusions of adequacy.

Oh, wait. That’s me.

Stranger’s an alright chap.

19

Shit! Has anyone ever noticed the n and m look a little bit alike? And, they’re located next to each other on the keyboard.

So you’re saying he was “mornal?”
