Did you hear how Pres. Bush killed three kittens on his jog this morning? Scooped them right up and bit their heads off!

I read it in a blog, so it must be true!

Customary attempt to divert discussion to pet issue.

Lament that thread is not in the Pit.

Snide observation that it will soon be moved there.

Comment on how post #52 and #82 are the ideal example of the post in which a poster declared that two posts were nearly identical in material but worded slightly differently.

Cite request predictably refused. Post author’s predilection to deny online citations when reasonably asked to provide evidence. Poster continues intellectually dubious practice of offering the incongrugous exhumation of bovine excretement from the human spincter bodiy cavity as reasoned replies.

Unfunny, un-pithy drive by post by dipstick who hasn’t bothered to follow thread, that pisses many posters off, but poster will not realize this because he never checks back on the thread, and blissfully wanders about the boards making more unfunny un-pithy posts, thinking he is the most brilliant and funny and adored poster.

If in Cafe Society: On topic response, or play on another poster’s comment.

If in GD, or the Pit: Comment, mostly likely misspelled, that a poster’s prior claim doesn’t hold water, despite their belief that it does. It didn’t in the last thread, and it doesn’t now. If they the poster claims it does, a demonstration why it does not, when applied to a similar situation. Repeat till everyone is exhausted, and ends in bitterness, till someone posts a day later that I am right. I then go on to post only in Cafe Society for the next few days, till the pattern repeats.

Heretofore unheard from semi-lurker who has been a Charter Memeber since 1999 but who has less than 50 posts in that span steps in to say this topic has been one he/she had meant to post about many times, but just never found the words for. Stumbles on blindly for several paragraphs failing to make any additional point.

Apologizes for coming out of hiding. Is never heard from again.

Tortured explanation of how I suffer from an obscure medical malady which converts this otherwise innocuous remark into heinous hate speech. Firm assertion that my suffering from this malady is common knowledge among absolutely everybody on the Board despite the fact that I only mentioned it once in a GQ thread on model airplane repair viewed by about 12 people. Conclusion that the previous poster fully intended the remark as an egregious personal insult, and is a brain-dead psycopath who may in fact be sputm of Satan . . .

. . . followed a few seconds later by "Of course I meant **sputum** of Satan hee hee One of these days I’ll learn to type :smack: 😃 " which completely undercuts the atmosphere of the post.

Incoherent reply with useless personal anecdotes which was going to be aborted but poster hit “Post Reply” instead of “Preview.” Poster permanently avoids thread to pretend it never happened and be saved from embarassment.

Failed attempt at a witty coment.

Almost random mention of almost random violence inflicted upon an almost random member of society.

Arcane song lyrics from some mid-1930’s vocal group’s first recording, no single word of which can be found to associate with any single word in the preceding posts.

Followed by blank verse snippet from some unknown Icelandic poet from the Renaissance.

Speculation as to connectedness follows.

Entirely meaningless post. Obviously done as a reply to another post in another thread on another forum in another message board – late at night.
