To throw stuff into the quarry, or not to throw stuff into the quarry…That is the question. ---

Here’s a little song I wrote You might want to sing it note for note Don’t quarry, be happy… In every life we have some trouble If you go to the quarry you make it double Don’t quarry, be happy! ---

> [@bobot](#): > > 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. Who’da thunk a throwaway joke from an episode of the Office would cause such a brouhaha. Creed Bratton, that’s who. ---

It’s not really the phrase that’s causing the hubub, however. The hubub is all about people’s willingness to piss themselves off. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/YVZleIMsP-0/maxresdefault.jpg "JESSY BULBO "COMAL" HD") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVZleIMsP-0) ---

I have fond memories of a quarry from my teenage years. Since it was full of crystalline water, the only thing we threw into it, were our young bodies. ---

Pretty much nobody thinks it’s funny but you, and people have [asked you](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=637351) to cut it out it out god knows how many times.

(And no, I’m not just going to put you on ignore. It’ll still show up in quotes, and as the saying goes, why should I have to ignore you? You’re the one who sucks.) What the fuck does this even mean? Is it a regional reference or a cultural reference or something? Never mind. I don’t give a shit, it sounds like a retarded way to say recreational outrage. ---

> [@Simplicio](#): > > Trying to explain why somethings funny to someone who doesn’t think it is is always a fools errand, but FWIW, I find it funny cause it works on three levels: > > 1. The original story that spawned it (from memory, someone altered a co-workers computer to replace LOL with the offending phrase as a prank) is funny > > 2. The whole idea of a one man meme is funny. > > 3. The weird rage that a completely innocuous and inoffensive joke, that **Bo** doesn’t even use that often, provokes in some people is funny. The thing that bothers me about it is it makes his posts hard for me to understand. I _knew_ he was using it as a replacement for _something_, but couldn’t remember what, and had to go find this thread to remind me. I’ve seen the episode of The Office where Creed says it, but that doesn’t have anything to do with replacing “LOL”. Basically, **Bo** has decided to make part of his post unintelligible to anyone who hasn’t read one particular story in one SDMB thread one time. **Shodan** ’s regards doesn’t bug me, because I can just ignore it and still understand what he’s saying. ---

Wow - 15:eek: pages about someone using an innocuous phrase. I think I should use an “aw go fuck yourself” or “vote for me: Deez Nuts” catchphrase to spice things up on my end. ---

> [@Eddie The Horrible](#): > > Wow - 15:eek: pages about someone using an innocuous phrase. Yes, but does that mean a few people are disproportionately bothered by it, or that many people are moderately bothered by it? As long as you’re counting, there was also a second Pit thread that got to half-a-dozen pages or so before it was closed as a duplicate. ---
