No, actually it’s a load of crap. Not once have I ever that something was funny when it wasn’t just because of who posted it.
Can we make nominations for Trainwreck Thread of the Week?

Can we make nominations for Trainwreck Thread of the Week?
[/QUOTE]
I move that we change that to “Trainwreck Thread Through No Fault of The OP’s of the Week”.
And appropriate username for the thread…
[QUOTE=Drain Bead]
The OP’s rant neglected to mention the most important thing about the shit-tacular Pecan Sandies 100 calorie pack.
THERE ARE NO PECANS TO BE FOUND.
Look at the name. Look closely. It’s not “Pecan Sandies.” It’s fucking SANDIES. And they’re not even that. The “sand” texture that comes from way too much fucking butter and sugar is completely lost in these. It’s basically a couple of vanilla-flavored saltines, which are about as gross as you’d imagine.
I got a big box of 100-calorie packs from Costco a while back. The 100-calorie Grasshoppers and Cheez-its and Fudge Stripes were heaven. I ended up with five packets of Sandies left over. Eventually I gave them away. Not worth my 100 calories. Those things are complete ass.

Have no doubt that the Dark Side provides only the finest and most delicious of high calorie cookies, and we keep them coming.

… all food does for me is make me full. Some of it tastes better than others, but it’s really just a means to an end.
[/QUOTE]
I so much wish I were like this. You say specifically that you don’t care for sweets, but what about something like pizza (or whatever your favourite savoury food is) - don’t you ever find yourself wanting to eat too much of that? Please send me some of you genes (or tastebuds)!
[QUOTE=neutron star]
What kind of dumbass shit is this? I’ve bitched before about MPSIMS shit in the Pit. I think it was in one of VCO3’s recent threads. I guess it’s possible that I’ve been guilty of it too, but not anymore. But, you know, nice to see that you’re stalking me to look for several-year-old inconsistencies.
[/quote]
My point was that you yourself have made a post that was extremely mundane and was three years after your joined.
This poster just signed up but you felt the need to comment and I have a feeling you would not have posted at all if others had not taken a shit first.
[QUOTE=neutron star]
That’s fine. He’s still in jail. I don’t really think about it anymore.
[/quote]
I am happy to hear that. I truly am. I kept an eye on your thread and was happy that something was done about the thieving asshole.
[QUOTE=neutron star]
Hell if I know. I’ve never needed to go on a diet.
[/QUOTE]
Well lucky you. So basically you admit you had no idea if it was mundane or not, since you have never dieted, but you jumped in anyway and claimed that it is.
So do you always talk out of your ass or in just this case?
[QUOTE=neutron star]
Hey, don’t feel bad for me. I get to go through life without having to worry about heart disease, strokes, fitting into airplane seats, and all that good stuff. I never have to worry about eating too much because I know that I’ll just end up not eating enough the next day without even thinking about it. I’m 29 and I’ve only gained ten pounds since high school. 6’4", 190lbs. is a pretty nice place to be from where I’m sitting.
[/QUOTE]
When I was 29, I wasn’t overweight either. Overeating was never a problem, though lack of exercise has become one. I don’t see what your weight has to do with your enjoyment of life, and the significant part of it that good food can be. It does seem to me that people who complain about what other people do all the time don’t find enough to enjoy in their own lives.

[/QUOTE]
Pizza is great, but I find that I fill up a lot quicker than most people, so overeating isn’t much of an option. Even my 5’2", 110 pound ex-wife could consistently out-eat me!
And my point is that three years after I joined was five fucking years ago! Jesus Christ!
Uh, the OP herself said that it wasn’t exactly a serious rant, so…

The way people treat me has a good bit to do with my enjoyment of life and, rightly or wrongly, people who are thin and reasonably good-looking get treated a lot better in general than those who aren’t.

[/QUOTE]
So the fuck what. It was THREE years after you joined. Don’t act like other posters don’t look up previous postings of other users.
I guess you get more time then you are giving the OP. Are you special or something? And even with that IMO this was not posting in the wrong forum.
As I stated before I don’t even think you would have posted at all if another had not crapped first.
If you have no current weight issues, no past weight issues and are not on a diet and never have been then why the fuck did you even open a thread labeled “100 Calorie Pack”?
It can only assume you did to read a rant, which you could care less about and have no problems with, but wanted to jump on the shit train just because it had started to roll with no clue what the fuck the rant was actually dealing with since you never dieted in your life.

If it’s the thread I’m thinking of, it was a bad idea that I regretted about two minutes after I posted it, and never again posted anything similar in style in the Pit in the five years after that. Some people change, mature, learn from their mistakes, and all of that good shit. Other people search through eight-year, multi-thousand post histories in pathetic attempts to feebly bash them.
And as I stated, you’re fucking wrong. If you’re so gung-ho about reading everything I posted, why don’t you find the VCO3 thread that I mentioned from a couple weeks back where I said pretty much the same thing even though nobody else did?
Boredom? Shit, I don’t know.
Hey, thanks Dr. Phil! Got any more annoying Chicken Soup tips for me?

It took like three seconds really. Hey, I am glad you learned after three years of posting and never did it again.
You don’t want judged for past mistakes, fine, but don’t judge what others post and dismiss them as mundane especially when you have, by your own admission, to have no experience on the topic.

I did not read everything you posted only threads you started. You can do that you know. It did not take long.
I don’t give a fuck about VCO3 or what he/she posted. I believe we are in this thread and on this topic.

It’s called precedent. As in, I posted the exact same observation about a different thread without anyone else saying something similar before me. That’s really the only way to prove that I was posting my own thoughts and really didn’t need prompting to do so. And I’m continuing to do that long after the general opinion of most of the people in the thread is against me. But hey, you go ahead and keep thinking that I’m “going along with the crowd.”
In the future, I will regard hundred calorie cookies with the earth-shattering gravity they deserve. :rolleyes:

Oh goody. I guess that proves you have your own thoughts. A post in another thread were you spoke out on you own without the posting of others to guide you.
So me pointing out another thread of yours was pointless and stalking but you pointing to your own posts to prove you are an individual is just spanky.
You so win.

I think maybe a quick thought, since you have your own, of your own experiences on the topic might in fact help to decide if it is a valid rant or a mundane post.

Perhaps you’re under the misconception that we’ll be more indulgent of you because you’re a relatively good looking guy who can still fit in his high school jeans. You’re wrong.
You made your point on page 1: you don’t think a cookie rant belongs in the Pit. Duly noted. If you want to open up your own thread about how it really irks you when people put cute threads in the Pit, please do so. But quit hijacking this thread as it’s. not. about. you.
If it wasn’t for all of this stupid bullshit from SomeUserName that made me feel the need to defend myself, I would have been out of here a page ago. I guess that’s what you get when two people who like having the last word get into an incredibly boring argument.
Anyway, I’m done. Have fun with your cookies, gang.

Umm, you posted on this very page (page 3), and it was the first post of this page, and it was not in reply to me.
[QUOTE=neutron star]
Okay, how about the whole gist of the rant: “100 calories worth of cookies isn’t quite what I thought it would be.”
[/QUOTE]
So then, you would support the banning of any “mini-rants” threads?
Since **fatgail ** is in accounting and it is tax time for CPAs or year-end preparation for us bookkeepers, I can understand the frustration. I’ve also had these things that call themselves “pecan sandies” and they taste nothing like them.
Free snacks are great for when you want something sweet and don’t want to have to leave the office to get it.
Most of you here need to get the giant sticks out of your asses and stop analyzing every fucking thing to death. That’s the most annoying thing about the SDMB.
We have free snacks too and I threw a mini-tantrum at work Friday over the admins eating all of the apple-cinnamon rice cakes and leaving only the cheddar. That’s what happens when I don’t get to the snacks when they first come in.
Most of you here need to get the giant sticks out of your asses and stop analyzing every fucking thing to death. That’s the most annoying thing about the SDMB. As for you insufferable assholes, why don’t you go fuck off to Great Debates.
