> [@Inner\_Stickler](#): > > Yeah, it’s not even close to threadshitting and I’m of the opinion that those who have espoused such a viewpoint need to swap out their smelling salts for something a little less wussified. I’m of the opinion that those who don’t see it as thread-shitting need to swap out their nose for something that isn’t buried up **Skald** ’s asshole. ---

It appears that I struck a nerve by criticizing your hero. Get over it. Not everyone thinks that such a general purpose cretin as **Skald** is infallible. ---

> [@Frank](#): > > As far as I can tell, the rest of the thread was short versions of artistic works. > > **Skald** didn’t come in and offer an alternative short version of the Dukes of Hazzard. He came in and nitpicked the OP, and then offered that the OP’s version was arrant nonsense. I don’t see how that can be viewed as anything but thread-shitting. Maybe I’m reading the wrong post. We’re talking about [this one](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=14629734&postcount=45), right? How is that not an alternative short version of _The Dukes of Hazard_? You are aware that, canonically, Daisy was not fucking her cousins, right? And are people really reacting to “arrant nonsense” as some kind of grave insult? Really? Are y’all wearing powdered wigs, too? ---

He’s not offering a short version of the story, he’s merely stating everything where (in his opinion) the OP is wrong. Where’s the story in that post? There are plenty of other short versions in that thread that are not “canon”, but are close enough for government work, and are fun to read. > [@](#): > > And are people really reacting to “arrant nonsense” as some kind of grave insult?

Am I on camera? Can I get a copy to send to my mom? The story is, “Daisy Duke is a gigantic disgusting slut.” It’s a joke, just like the OP of that thread, except instead of playing up the reckless driving to it’s grim conclusion, it plays up Catherine Bach’s cut-offs. You really don’t see that? > [@](#): > > There are plenty of other short versions in that thread that are not “canon”, but are close enough for government work, and are fun to read. …right.

If you did it in a joke thread, after making a joke about a joke TV show, in which you jokingly referred to one of the joke characters in the joke show as a incestuous bisexual cumdumpster… I’d probably assume you were joking. Just to be clear, you know that when **Skald** talks about unleashing swarms of flaming bees on people, he doesn’t actually go out to his apiary and start warming up a can of napalm, right? That’s a joke, too. ---

I didn’t say Skald was my hero and I don’t know where you got that idea as he and I rarely even interact. I would have the same opinion if another poster had made such a comment. And you guys are being histrionic about it. ---

Is it just me or has Frank come out of his modding stint a bit more angry and bitter-sounding than he went in? The only time I notice him these days it seems he’s kvetching about someone-- which always startles me as I never thought of him as a kvetcher. Frank, what’s wrong, man? Here, try this Skald brain, dog turd and smokey BBQ sandwich on an onion roll. It’ll cheer you up. ---
