Cecil Adams has never been “pitted” by a mod? Well, that tears it. My new mission in life is to become a moderator for the SDMB, for the sole purpose of being able to start a Pit thread about that little bitch. 😃 ---

Hmm. Getting pitted by a mod. Haven’t done that yet. I seem to annoy Ike on occasion. Maybe I should try to develop that. On the other side of the coin, maybe I should take the odds and go after Coldfire. ---

Paula Abdul? _full-body shudder_ I didn’t think she was pretty in the 80s, and I think she’s a vampire now… ---

Okay, mods aren’t allowed to start threads in the Pit ripping on members. What about their involvement in threads started by us mere mortals? Can they tear me a new one if someone else is unhappy with my posting habits? ---

I was starting to be sorry that I posted to this thing in the first place. I’ve changed my mind. **Coldfire** is a big smelly jerk.\* And yes, **Aceospades** , you do, in fact, get to call me a f\*cking idiot. This is the Pit, it’s a pretty concise insult, and it has the further advantage of being fairly accurate. Besides, I didn’t take it seriously. \*I know that I’m repeating a tired theme, but I’m trying to get ahead of **Scylla** in the “getting pitted by **Coldfire** ” race. ---

I believe they call them “dykegeld,” which translates to “toilet paper” in English. I think they’ve switched to something called “European Dollars,” which are supposedly better in some way. Perhaps they’re two-ply. ---

Well this is an interesting turn of events. You see how easy it is, people? You too can turn threats into hard dollars, using the Scylla extortion method! Win free cash! Turn third parties against each other, while you line your pockets. They say that most people compensate for their weaknesses, some few overcome them, but the truly great turn their weaknesses into strengths. Send money now and I’ll tell you how to cash in on your most obnoxious personal traits, just like I did. It worked for me. It will work for you! ---

"Dear Cecil, I was driving on the parkway to get a new cat, composing my letter to you about the third word ending in -gry, when on the radio came news about the war in Iraq, and I was so excited that we’re escalating the war that I hit someone in my car and now I’m facing the death penalty. Where did I go wrong?" ---

Blimey! I’m not a blooming Pollyanna. D----d if I’ll stand for this. I’ll be blessed if I can’t chastise a poster as well as any other moderator. The next poster that crosses my path should watch out or I’ll tell him that he had better follow the rules and if he doesn’t like it then he can do the other thing.
