This sucks. I’m the one being Pitted and it’s still too fluffy to keep open, even out of fairness. It’s too lame for even the twisted pissant Pit denizens to muster up a passable level of mockery. Your initial Pit thread was a dud, and this one is even worse. **Roger** , stop being a dumbass. Observe forum guidelines and have an actual meaty point to make_before_ posting. You know, maybe post something of more universal concern than your navel lint? This tanked even as Pit fodder. Closed. Again. Veb With license to kill…threads. The horror, the horror.
