Now, when I am chopping up shit on a cutting board, on my granite counter top, instead of thinking “Jesus fuck this goddamn chunk of granite cost a shit ton of money”, I think of Bo, out there somewhere, typing lol, and then chuckling when it gets changed to throwing shit down a quarry, and I realize the ineffable tragic truth. I have no life. ---

Hitler was known to say shit like, “Lets all go down to the bunker and hope the Russians don’t rape and kill us”, and then he blew his brains out. So there’s that ---

Then he’s silent for months and then he comes back to reply to himself with a new link he found and then he starts talking to himself again. I find it very Let’s go down to the quarry and paint turtles. ---

In case anyone is interested … the poster muttering to himself has by far more posts in this thread than anyone else at 58 currently, followed by **Anamen** and then **SB**. How high can he go?! ---

Thanks for bumping this thread! I thought it might be dead. The way people are getting themselves wound up about Snowboarder Bo’s catchphrase says a lot more about them than it does about Snowboarder Bo or his use of the phrase. ---

Given who has posted most of the posts in this thread (very few that expressed much annoyance at the automated tic itself and a few more mocking SB’s pathetic whine of being bullied in the Pit) the way in which some people react over one or two posters mildly expressing relatively mild annoyance said a lot more about them … But nah this thread is dead. Someone just pissed on the grave tis all. No hand of Carrie about to jump out here. ---
