I was going to say the same thing. He said that his upper body strength was superior to any mortal man’s, yet he could not crawl to the commode or lower himself to the floor and let it loose?

I’m thinking the airlines have got the right idea.

Chez MegaFiber was a bad choice.

Just sayin.

Yeah, and the Metamucil pancakes, Ex-Lax chip muffin and extra-large Miralax were definitely a :dubious: choice

Also, stopping at Burger King for a quick snack on the way to pick up his date was probably a bad idea.

Jamie, when you’re in a hole, [stop digging](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=14772002&postcount=156).

This is not the appropriate thread to derail by sulking and making it all about \*you \*and how attacked \*you \*feel, and what \*you \*meant. Offer condolences, shut up, and quit while you’re behind.

Because I saw him being an arse in the linked thread, but it wasn’t a big enough deal to start a new Pit thread about. And I certainly wasn’t going to say anything in Frank’s thread and continue the derail.

Ah, hadn’t seen the edit. Dammit, I was so proud of having been junior modded by you too 😉

(in retrospect, I think there might have been a more recent pit thread about him I could have used to gripe in, but I have such fond memories of this one!)

Are you fucking kidding me?! Sulking? Making it about me?! What the fuck are you talking about?

I was an ass in Frank’s thread because I was confused as to why he was upset with me?? I wrote _one sentence_ expressing my confusion and I made it very clear that I was very sorry if I inadvertantly upset him any further. I can’t believe you people.

I can’t believe I am saying this, but I don’t believe that Jamie meant any harm.

I think what he said was a variation of the she’s at peace now and won’t suffer any more sentiment, not that Frank’s family should prefer this outcome.

Jesus Christ, you’re an ass. You made one stupid and tone deaf attempt at condolence that although probably well meaning, shows that you have the social skills and tact of an untrained baboon with a brain tumor. That’s why you always get in confrontations, both here and in real life.

But that isn’t really what **Hermette** is taking you to task for. You didn’t post just “_one sentence_”, dumbass. You posted four separate times. The first about how it’s good that **Frank’s** sisters death is preventing her from doing drugs, and then three more defending it. Fucking Hell, shut the fuck up!

It seems that the subject of this thread suffers from the same affliction as my youngest son- _does not know when to shutupedness_. I have warned my son of the possible effects of this disease- primarily, causing someone in his future to become so enraged, that he gets his ass kicked, possibly several someones, several times. \*\* Ambivalid\*\*, there is help out there for this terrible condition- please ask your doctor if STFU is right for you.

I’d like you to please point out the post(s) of mine in Frank’s thread that you find so objectionable. Please. That’s all I ask.
