Patently unfunny comment triple posted. Simply annoying post made exponential more irritating and unavoidable. ---

Obligatory Ralph Wiggum-related hijack. Offers opinion on earlier hijacker’s taste in pastries. Encomium for/deprecation of Krispy-kreme. ---

Post with appropriate links to requested links/citations, while mentioning that newbies should actually peruse boards before attempting posting. _dramatic exhalation of breath_ ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by RTA \* > \*\*Blame 43rd US President for decline of civil discussion in society. \*\* Comparisons with 44th US President, showing him to be much worse, as well as really stupid. Blame for various other evils pinned on said President. Comment disparaging bashers of 43rd US President. Obliviousness of the irony of previous statement. ---

Post mentioning that self does not have time to read every single thread on boards before posting. Addition of appropriate emoticon and/or vaguely derogatory comment. ---

Raucous laughter letters in all capital letters at poster claiming insufficient time to read all threads on Board, while noting time spent in present thread alone. Self-righteous, extraordinarily lame attempt at name calling. Roll eyes ad nauseam. Notes upon preview misspelled words in post. Corrects, and huffily hits submit. ---

Apologies made to OP for continuous hijacking, by self and others, while subtlely insinuating OP was inane anyway. Subtexts invitation to offensive co-hijacking poster to insert multiple emoticons in all available orifices and have said poster meet self in separate Pit Thread, thus allowing verbal sparring to continue, without further hijacking. ---

Invocation of diety as final authority on matter referred to in OP, with implication that the opinions of anyone who disagrees with poster on this matter are irrelevant due to their lack of belief in said diety.
