I'm pitting thread hijackers in THIS thread!!

A BIG POOPY HEAD!

…not that there’s anything wrong with being a BIG POOPY HEAD, right?

I mean, some of my best friends are BIG P…

Aw, fuck it.

Um, no, that’s not gonna happen.

I come to this board because people here to take the time and trouble to use language well. I do not see this as arrogance on anyone’s part for their own self-imagined level of intelligence or superiority, because I can clearly see that even here some are better informed than others. It is obvious—grammar notwithstanding. Some people have their shit together and some don’t. However, I do see that even when people are factually wrong they are at least committed to keeping the level of discourse on a plane that is educated, clear, and usually civil; when their facts have been corrected they acknowledge it and accept correction.

Sure. We could put all of our grammatical nitpicks into one thread and let illiteracy run rampant across every post of every thread. Imagine it: every thread on this board would be rife with childish net-babble, impenetrable shortspeech, abbreviations, meaningless contractions, all because you don’t want to hear these people be corrected. You want to push all of that into a back-burner thread on a forum and expect people to seek correction themselves?

If that is your position then I cannot believe such idiocy. What if the n3tspeek idiots don’t read it? Hm? Whose ignorance will we have dispelled, whose errors will we have corrected? Do you seriously suppose people will automagically find the one thread that sets the standard for accepted communication and abide by it without reminder? Some people can barely read the fucking “don’t be a jerk” rule without getting confused.

This proposed “grammar correction thread” will have had no effect at all, none.

We now return you to our regularly scheduled thread about… what the hell was it about, anyway? Banana-flavored Quik, I think.

All together now: OOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhh…!
And I agree with Miller, the hijack ended up being approximately 8509275112451020048.3½ times more interesting than the original topic of that thread.

What 'd like to know is howcome there’s an ‘o’ in ‘you’ in the first place? Wouldn’t it be a lot easier to type it without that damn ‘o’ that’s just sitting there doing nothing? think if wee spelled it ‘yu’, then wee wouldn’t have all of this bickering over people who spell it ‘u’, because nobody could possibly be so lame as to take a two-letter word and reduce it to a one-letter word on some pretense of convenience, right? Yu know what mean? also wish that yu people whom come into the Pit and turn perfectly good Pit threads into debates would just go back to Great Debates where yu came from. am really sick and tired of some people complaining about how they’re more intelligent than everybody else here but nobody knows it because they’re not intelligent enough to recognize their intellectual superiority, and because they weren’t allowed to stay in Mensa, whatever that is. Why can’t see that shiny thing that MacTech and DarkPrince are seeing? Do have worms or something? Is there some software can download so can see the shiny thing like yu guys can?

I’m not a racist, but what’s up with those black people?

I’m not the one with the run-on sentences, jackass.

:rolleyes: It figures YOU would resort to name calling.

Nice straw man you have there.

No way. When I was a little kid, we used to buy that stuff by the carton. I know for a fact you can fit the entire pouch in your mouth. Now, the pure sugar rush is enough to make you vomit, but it’s possible. Quite a waste, if you ask me because you can only take it for a few seconds and then you have to spit the entire lump out. One wasted pouch of Big League on the ground as a glistening gooey lump is not a pretty sight.

Does not the fire need the smoke?
Does not the mountain need the storm?
Does not your ass need kicking?

Huh huh.

Speaking of scarecrows, like, did you ever play Dark Side of the Moon during the Wizard of Oz?

It’s like so kwel.

Wow! That reminds me of the time when I was a kid when I took a whole pouch of Big League Chew (or maybe it was some Popeye spinach-themed gum cause it was green). I rolled the whole pouch into a ball with my hands then took a bite out of it. I then put the rest of the pouch into the bag it came in. A few weeks later, I discovered that mold was growing on it!

I think no woman is allowed to have her period forever, Gluteus. Thank G-d for that!

:wink:

WOW!

‘m kinda startin’ to see that shiny thing now!

WOW!

Ahhhh…

It was just a light bulb. :frowning:

too.

Us too.

Except we used different brands of floor cleaner.

Well we did it on our fifteen mile hike to school, uphill through the snow both ways. You were disqualified if you threw up.

We couldn’t afford floor cleaner, or bubble gum, so we had to stand in front of the church on Sunday mornings and beg for it. If we spilled any cleaner on our sackcloth, or got any ashes on our bubble gum, our stepmother’s boyfriend would take us out to the mall and leave us there.

And we liked it.
