Even if his recent posts _have_ got a certain quality of “mating display” about them. 😉 I think he is too, sorry I didn’t describe well enough that I was merely curious, not trying to rag on him.🙂 I did see his description of the baboon butt, but didn’t really get it as “shiny”. But then, I HATE monkies, disgusting weird creatures. Always look sort of greasy somehow (and yes, I know it’s unreasonable). ---

> [@Knowed Out](#): > > **Canvas Shoes** : it’s just a variation of “He think’s he shit on a stick,” or “He’s goin’ around showin’ off his ass,” or “He came in here with his ass wide open” what’s time has come. Those of us who add new entries to lexicons the world over are geniuses like that. Gee, I guess I need to brush up on my assisms! 😃 ---

> [@Knowed Out](#): > > Because I invented the newest SDMB cliche, I am now a SD VIP, and I will soon be going to Cecil’s private country club to hobnob and sniff brandy with the man himself. Apologize for hating on me and I MIGHT put in a good word for you when a busboy position opens. Actually, **Knowed Out** , you merely had a Pit thread backfire. In the grand hierarchy of the Dope (if there was one, which there isn’t), you’d still be a dweeb. A good natured dweeb, but still somebody who ran screaming into battle just to trip on his sword. This thread has run its course. The Teeming Millions had their fun handing your ass back to you, but you’ve gotten silly with the attention. The whole danged thread has gotten fluffy. It isn’t Pittish any more, just joshing around, so it’s closed.
