Pretty obsessed about his subject I agree. Not a subject that particularly interests me either. but spelling and superfluous apostrophes aside, gave me an insight about the history of these weird interspecies battles with in many cases the circumstances provided by people. Lame pitting. Low hanging fruit pile on. Dudes harmless. Definitely a case of if you are not interested in the thread then choose another one. OP, maybe he does have a major malfunction, but not one that hurt anyone and not one that needed a pit thread. I need start a thread and post my home made vid of a rabbit attacking and scaring the crap out of a Ram. jog on ---

> [@manila](#): > > Lame pitting. Low hanging fruit pile on. Dudes harmless. Definitely a case of if you are not interested in the thread then choose another one… I don’t mind having a Pit thread that’s just “Whoa, look at _this_ guy!” Now we need a thread asking “_ **My Lord** _, do you have a job? Kids? Marriage? And what’s \*not \*in your head because it’s full of lions and tigers and bears…?” _(not putting you down – I can_not\* remember to pick up milk on the way home because I have too much Siver Age Supergirl trivia in my brain) (btw, I just tell my wife "You laugh now, but you won’t be when you’re watching TV someday and hear me say “Alex, that’d be ‘Who is Streaky the Super Cat?’ for the championship”).\* ---

I’m baffled at how someone can take the great subject of lion vs. tiger and turn it into that dumping ground for random data. Frankly, the mess that thread has made out of this classic argument over interspecies combat is probably the only reason the subject wasn’t broached at the recent and current political conventions. For shame, for shame. ---

> [@digs](#): > > Just… OMFGOAL\*… > > If anyone’s reading this without checking out the thread, here’s a sample: > Doodly noted. > > \*(halfway through that thread, I actually muttered “oh my frickin god on a liger”) The best part of his/her “Doodly noted” reply was that he/she was replying to **Tripolar’s** (can I put an apos-trophe there?) observation that his/her posts were practically unreadable due to grammar, punctuation and spelling errors, and suggested that he/she slow down. “lol Doodly noted”. Aside from that tidbit of comedy gold, the list of citations is exhaustive and impressive. Never before have I seen someone on here waste so much time on such a trivial (let alone unresolv-able) issue.
