I’ve put this in the Pit rather than Mindless-Pointless because I thought it would be more fun and more spicy.
I’ve no idea how it will work, so the idea is that there’s absolutely no flirting in this thread. Anyone so much as writes as “So how YOU doin’?” and I’ll ask the mods to shut it down. I’m hemming and hawing about whether to say no smilies too, because these damn idiotic pestilences always seem to occur in large numbers in flrting threads.
So, that’s what this thread is not about. What will it be about, then?
Okay, I’ve had an idea. How about we write something that annoys or irritates us about another poster, but - and here’s the cunning part - without mentioning the poster’s name. Just hinting at it. Much more cowardly. Just like Live Journal. (I’m due another mention there, anyway. Did I mention I’ve bookmarked it now?)
So, I’ll be back in a minute to kick this thing off.
Hi, roge. You know what really pisses me off? It’s when people start stupid threads which have no point except to remind us that the OP is an attention whore.
Had to get that one in before you smart alecks beat me to it.
Yes, do let’s all slag each other off anonymously. It’ll be so much more convenient than letting a bunch of slithering half-wits do it for us on another board.
This has to be the stupidest OP I have ever read here, roger, and that’s saying something considering Kel Varnsen used to post here. You’re a dolt if this is your idea of amusement, and a jackass if this is your idea of stirring up trouble.
It’s okay, roge. Don’t feel bad that your thread sucked. I started a lameass tread tonight myself, in this very forum. It was about Chris Matthews (Hardball), but it was lame and I should have put it in Cafe Society.
But, here’s an anonymous pitting for ya just so’s the thread isn’t a total loss: I pit a certain poster who has been known to inquire about a certain book as a possible birthday gift from his wife but then gave no indication whether he did indeed get the book for his birthday or if his birthday had even occurred yet.
You know what annoys me? When creepy guys I don’t know on the internet continue to flirt with me in threads on message boards, even after I ask them not to.
It is rumored that the poster in question managed to get hold of a copy of a book by a fellow who spent two years in the woods in Concord, MA, in the 1840s. On the other hand, the same rumor mill is rife with reports that said anonymous poster couldn’t get hold of a copy of the scribblings of an inconsequential Dutch artist, who was said to be a little hard of hearing in later life (erroneously), for love nor money. Even via Amazon. He (or is it she) will try again in due course.
Thank you for your concern, and since this is the Pit, I thought your latest artistic effort stank more than an indolent skunk who couldn’t get a date even though he was the alpha male in his group on account of the uber-rankness of his odor.
Oh, yeah? Oh, yeah? Well, if you thought that was bad you ought to see what I’m working on now!
P.S.: If you happen to hear from that birthday guy, tell him I’m sorry to hear of his difficulty and that if by happenstance he should eventually come into possession of one of the finest books of its type ever written that he should please let me know how he liked it. My email is in my profile if he doesn’t want to chase me down on the boards.
:eek:
