Ever pop into an interesting looking thread only to find that it’s simply a tepid compilation of lists? Favorite bands, movies, etc. Two things: 1. These types of threads are not good reading and generally provoke little or no discussion; they’re just a forum for people to maniacally type in whatever lame bands they like listening to while they jerk off. 2. The questionable and vomitous tastes of some of the SDMB regulars rear their ugly heads in these types of threads; “Hey Bob! I like “Mr. Roboto” too!” “Hey Jane! I think Styx totally rocks too! They’re the best band ever! I come in my pants repeatedly when I listen to one of their records!” “OOOOH, I just love “Friends”, it’s such a good show, I wish I could face-fuck Chandler day and night!” “Hey you know who’s really good? Alanis Morissette. I wish she had a dick so she could fuck me in the ass!” Thanks for listening. * * * Tim “My hovercraft is full of eels.” ---

## That’s a great idea! Let’s list all the lists that piss us off! They call me MISTER Wizard! ---

What a great idea, slythe! Let’s see, Number 1: Lists started by people who think the whole goddamn SDMB exists solely for their amusement and that no posts should be made that could possibly be interesting to anyone else. Such people are generally too fucking stupid to realize that they don’t have to read every single message in every single topic even though they find the whole thing incredibly boring. Well, hell, that was a damned short list! How about if we all list our favorite flavors of ice cream instead? * * * I have as much authority as the Pope; I just don’t have as many people who believe it! - George Carlin ---

Ever tried chocolate with peanut butter? Now that’s GOOD! I also like strawberries-and-cream and peaches-and-cream. Black Walnut Blueberry. And Eskimo Pies - great stuff! * * * I have as much authority as the Pope; I just don’t have as many people who believe it! - George Carlin ---

I love getting a cone at the Marble Slab…I’ll get a nice waffle cone…with a big ass scoop of chocolate with Reeces cup pieces in it…now **that** is good. But I still like vanella ice cream better than chocolate ice cream…even though I **love** chocolate! Kinda strange… * * * You say “cheesy” like that’s a **BAD** thing. ---

Aww, great. There goes Wally, veering off on some “banana split” tangent. Oh well. I really love those chocolate mint Girl Scout cookies. Man,I get some of those, and I look like a crack addict with some fresh rocks. * * * You say “cheesy” like that’s a **BAD** thing. ---

Oh, this is the pit. Okeley-dokely, \ Kelli, you silly little hamster, that stuff that you gorge at Angie’s is junk. After they make the good stuff, they sweep the floor and sell it to your friend. You want a real cookie? You haven’t lived until you’ve eaten a whole bag of Mrs. Feeny’s Double Chocolate Chip. I hope I got things back on track. Why do I have to do everything around here?

Now guys, come on. Torgo has a valid complaint and you just laugh at him and turn his thread into a joke. That’s not nice. Now, back on topic. The threads taht piss me off, eh? We-elll, the best way to explain that would probably be to tell you the story about the time I went to Shelbyville. See, I needed to go to Morganvile- which is what we called Shelbyville in those days- and so I tied an onion to my belt as was the style. In those days, the ferry to Morganville cost a nickel, which had pictures of a bee on them. “give me 5 bees for a quarter,” we’d say. Hope that clears things up. * * * * * * The Ai\ Yue- Ha FAQ: 1.

Alright, alright. You are correct, John. We really shouldn’t make fun of the OP like this. _Threads that piss me off:_ When you get a **brand new** shirt…and I’m talking quality, here…and it **ALWAYS** has a loose thread hanging out of one of the seams…and you **KNOW** that the thread is just gonna keep unraveling. So you hopefully cut it near the base of the seam…but all that does is delay the inevitable…I fuckin’ **hate** those threads. \< Whew \> You’re right. I’m glad to see this topic is finally on track.

The ice cream thread is waaaaaay cool! (Cherry Garcia for me, thank you very much. And on site, at Ben and Jerry’s, of course). Cookies?? Give me President’s Choice Pecan and Chocolate Chip anytime. Heaven. Geez, I should come to the Pit more often. I thought there was only flaming, and then more flaming. Boy, was I off-track!!
