For a brief second I thought this thread was [Hippies in California](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/hippos-in-colombia/1005209).

Every time I see the Pit thread **I Pit Split\_p\_j** , my brain starts to read it as “I Split p…” but then it can’t continue further. I think I misread it because “Split” is so close to “pit” and, “I split” is still grammatical. But then my brain freezes because it can’t make a comprehensible sentence out of the whole.

I suspect they need less TLC than the regular kind - just dust 'em every week and maybe use a little Murphy’s Wood Soap once in a while?
