[THIS](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=328986) thread shows all we should ever see. One Mod gets pitted… and another Mod backs him up! Locks the damn thread! Cuz it looks bad for the Reader… You stupid M-er F-ers… you try to maintain order… and just make the order fly out the window… close all the threads you like! You just make y’all look stupider. 😛 ---

This just in! Bomb falls on Waynesboro, PA. 6 to 9 people injured. Okay, not really, but…I don’t even know what y’all are talking about, and I feel I may not want to. Other than that, the weather here is absolutely perfect; dew point 55. ---

> [@if6was9](#): > > You stupid M-er F-ers… I always thought it was “M-F’ers.” You know, because the -er suffix on “mother” wasn’t necessary, and means something different than the -er suffix on “fucker.” Plus, it seems to flow a bit better. In other news, the 3-5 Saskatchewan Roughriders go up against the undefeated British Columbia Lions this Saturday. Looks like no playoffs for the boys in green this year. But go Riders anyway. ---

I just want to say that whatever the OP is ranting about, I don’t give a fuck. I’ll be happy to sell him a fuck, however, and at $2000 below invoice, because we know price sells fucks. ---

Well, the top 3 teams from each division get in, so all is not lost quite yet, but Thursday’s loss to Ottawa and the fact that the next game is against BC renders the outlook grim. Calgary is ahead of the Riders in the standings, and their next game is tonight against Montreal, who strayed from their traditional passing attack in their win against Toronto. So, the entire SDMB is instructed as follows: **Tonight:** root for Montreal over Calgary and Ottawa over Winnipeg. You can root for Hamilton to beat BC if you like, but let’s save the impossible-magic mojo for next week. Let the Lions get fat and happy with a win over the Ticats, and then they’ll be complacent and easy pickins for the rested-and-ready Riders. ---

They should have spaces on either side of them, as in “what a … maroon.” ---
