> [@rewindforward](#): > > HEY GIRAFFE… STUFF IT UP YER BACKSIDE. I don’t think that causes much of a tingle for him, **rewind**. You might just be unusually dense, or of course there’s a strong possiblity you might be posting drunk again. Of course everyone was fascinated by your rambling saga of the the drunk in search of convenience store snack food. What a cliffhanger _that_ was! Since you seem oblivious (a shock, that was), you have been officially warned, see? By the guy you just told to stuff it up his backside. He’s a moderater here, and so am I. You know, like _bouncers in a bar_? Who handle the drunks who piss and barf on the floor, throw punches around…perhaps you’re familiar with the concept. I strongly suggest you read the [registration agreement](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=309541) again. Notice the guiding principle: “Don’t be a jerk.” Then take a minute or so–or in your case, maybe a few hours–to familiarise yourself with the forum descriptions. Reflect _before_ posting on whether you just might be acting like a jerk. So consider yourself warned again, **rewind**. It’s not like you haven’t provided rich amusement value for Dopers. But the act gets old fast, y’know? “Hostile and stupid is no way to go through life, son.” Either knock it off or we’ll ban you. TVeblen ---

Who handle the drunks who piss and barf on the floor, throw punches around…perhaps you’re familiar with the concept. I think of myself as more of a janitor, actually, but the principle still holds. Keeping things neat, mopping up vomit, flushing the occasional turd. It’s a glamorous and glorious profession. Especially when you get people who can’t code for crap. 😉 ---
