Manhattan is a Ding-Dong

Pottymouth!

Are we ever going to have a good Pitting of a mod, or are they all going to be this lame now? The only joy for this and a few of the other sad attempts floating around is knowing that the wise ass Pitizens are cracking their knuckles in glee at the fresh meat.

As Dolly Madison once remarked “He’s dead, Jim. Jim, this man is dead.”

I though that was Dr. Leonard “Bones” McCoy. :slight_smile:

Damnit, Jim, I’m a poster not an historian!

Calling a moderator a Ding-Dong takes a lot of crust, you crumb! What a half-baked idea! The yeast you could do is come up with the bread to buy a batter insult than that! I mean, c’mon, that really takes the cake! Threads like this just frost me! I’m so mad I’ll have to plant a new flour garden to cheer myself up. Oven-tually I’ll be OK but right now I knead to just calm down. Maybe I’ll just loaf around the living room.

(I’m done now)

Re: (I’m done now)

Thank you. Since this is the pit, I can say that I really hate pun threads/posts and that I find, generally, that most puns are about as funny as a damp sock.

Nothing against you, personally. And this isn’t to say that No One Is Allowed To Post Puns Anymore… it’s just me saying that I find it annoying, stupid, and pointless. Fortunately in this thread it didn’t hijack anything important, but when threads I’m interested devolve into puns I get cranky :stuck_out_tongue:

What is wrong with you people? Everyone knows that Manhattan is a drink, not a food!

*Manhattan

2 oz. Jack Daniel’s
1/2 oz. dry vermouth
bitters

Shake and pour into cocktail glass.*

SHEESH! :rolleyes:

Jack Daniel’s? You put VERMOUTH in Jack Daniel’s? JD should be taken neat, or with a little ice. At most, a splash of soda water.

Yuck. A proper manhattan is made with rye whiskey anyway.

No, I am - didn’t you read what KneadToKnow wrote? ( :wink: )

And, I’ll do the obligatory:

Hmmm - you post what reads to be a rant (to most of us, including Mahhattan, whose JOB it is to do this stuff) in General Questions. Why? There’s no “factual question” - if anything, you were stating your opinion. (Maybe we should drag IMHO into this!) And even by your own admission, it should have gone into Great Debates, so, again, why did you post it in General Questions. But, as has already pointed out, the rant-like quality of your post means it should have been in The BBQ Pit all along.

If I may suggest? Perhaps a Great Debates thread should have started with an OP more like this:

Just a thought.

The best part is, THAT’S TRUE!!!

Ridiculous! Manhattan is an…oh, wait, no man is an island.

ouch.

Yep. I saw the halloween pictures, too.

Jack Daniels makes a rye whiskey.

It’s called Jack Daniels Rye Whiskey.

They also own Old Overholt.

Jack Daniels probably makes more than 90% of the rye whiskey sold in the U.S.

Well. I just have to say that you have made C K Dexter Haven very, very sad indeed today.

Yeah, but when you say “Jack Daniel’s” to a barkeep or anyone else, they don’t think “Oh! He must mean Old Overholt!” They think “Jack Daniel’s Old No. Seven Black Label Tennessee Whiskey.”

Man, what a hothead. You’re just like this Manhattan fella.

Hmmm . . .

You see, this is why I come to these boards. Learn something new every day. Flipping off, yup, heard that in the states, but not flick off.

So, apologies to the op for the misunderstanding. But as for the rest of it he can fuck off.

I don’t think so. Jim Beam Brands makes a rye called Jim Beam Rye. Jim Beam Brands also produces Old Overholt, which I think is quite a bit better than J.B. Rye. I don’t believe Jack Daniel’s or thier parent company Brown-Forman sell any brand of rye whiskey in the U.S.
