I post a benign comment, you fake offense to it and then post your own.

So, Annie, you did good. It’s about time, but I’m sure it won’t become a trend with you.

I’m looking forward to watching the first few new episodes of Stranger Things later tonight.

Nothing as fun as watching a show where blobs of goo suck people’s faces off. You think demigorgons are weird? PEOPLE are weird.

Watched fireworks go off last night, happy Fourth everyone!

Nothing I like better than working all day, coming home very tired, and being kept awake by noisy fireworks and people yelling.

I’m wearing a red shirt, white socks and blue pants today. I am so patriotic.

Isn’t there enough jingoism to go around?

Yesterday, I grilled hot dogs and watched fireworks.

One day, people will post something original, instead of the EXACT SAME thing they READ TWO POSTS AGO!

Second earthquake in Southern California in 2 days, l haven’t felt them amazing enough.

You didn’t feel them because you were already shaking from yesterday’s bourbon binge.

I feel pretty. Oh, so pretty. I feel pretty, and witty and gay.

Great, now let’s all talk about our FEEEEELINGS. Gah! Give me a BREAK, SNOWFLAKE!!

I like manta rays.

You bump a thread that’s been silent for 10 days to post that? Who cares?

Gotta love that summer weather

Yeah – nothing like hurricanes followed by 100+ heat indexes!

It’s nice and quiet today.

I imagine your padded cell is pretty comfy and soothing by now.

My fave cartoon character when I was a kid, was Bugs Bunny.

Doesn’t surprise me, you cross-dresser, you.

I miss Ren and Stimpy.

Two weeks and not a bite! Means you are the only person on the PLANET who misses Ren and Stimpy! No surprise there!

Saw Blondie and Elvis Costello in concert yesterday, sure was fun!

I’ll bet it was fun but I don’t know why you have to rub it in our faces. We’d enjoy some fun too, you know.

I really enjoyed the potatoes I made with dinner tonight.

Alone again, naturally.
I got good news after my colonoscopy.

Two weeks again!
The BEST news right after your colonoscopy is “You’re finished with your colonoscopy”!

This thread has been pretty quiet lately.

That’s because no one wants to play this stupid game.

It’s starting to get cooler here, and we never got the high temperatures we were expecting.

You actually believe the weather service, do you? Why am I not surprised.
I enjoy this game. I just didn’t want it to be me that killed another thread.

If the worse that happens to you today is “I killed a Straight Dope thread,” you have nothing to complain about.

I hope Hurricane Dorian doesn’t hit New Jersey.

So you want it to hit another state? That’s nice.

I need something to eat.

Blaugghh. Soon you’ll regale with announcing all of your bodily needs… shaving, tooth picking, toenail clipping, defecating…spare us!

Sunshine, lollipops and rainbows.
