YES! I was waiting for something awesome to happen in this terrible, terrible thread.

Uhhh… I hate to tell you this, but that’s a rather low bar. You might want to modify this statement to something like “he made me look 100,000 times as good in comparison.”

That won’t make you look _quite_ so bad.

It still makes him look pretty bad, though. Say, just above dry rot but just below sub-tile mildew?

Nah. I would have put 100k as “athlete’s foot-free”, and no “I’m a kiddie-diddler” vibe, but _no one_ (at least that we know) wants to see him naked. He _really_ didn’t have a very high bar to clear. I still think he should _try._ It’s for _his own_ reputation, after all.

No shit. Flashed Helen Keller once, and she puked her guts out.

It compounds things that I wasted time from a perfectly good buzz on \*\* Czarcasm\*\* and **Der trihs**. They are both people who, IRL, I wouldn’t bother to acknowledge much less engage in any kind of conversation, whether civil or not. I’m not against wasting my time, but there are ways that are more fun.

Tail between your legs, eh? Well, that’s better than nothing.

I applaud your generosity of spirit.

I see what you did there. That isn’t very nice.

[QUOTE=Czarcasm]  
Define gun.  
And anti.  
And uncle.

[/QUOTE]

1. “This is my rifle, this is my gun. One is for killing, the other for fun.”

2. A sister to one of your parents.

3. A male version of your Anti.

Glad to be of help.

So, years and years ago, B.C. (Before Cecil), I used to read the Guiness World Records books to feed my useless fact monkey. Anyway, they had a bit about a man who set some kind of record for being the circus’ “human cannonball”. They said the act ended when he retired and the circus couldn’t find a man of the same caliber.

Thought I’d raise the tone around here a little. You’re welcome.

I heard he’s also anti-cheese. But don’t feel the need to expound on why that’s bad either.

If they ever do a FAQ to show how _not_ to do a Pitting, a link to this thread would suffice.

Oh, a cracksman and a cad.

“One of his hands fell kindly on my shoulder, while the other slipped into my overcoat pocket, and I suffered him to deprive me of my weapon without a murmur”.

Shows the importance of secure storage, I suppose. Just happened to read the novel recently, actually!
