> [@Captain\_Amazing](#): > > So I’m not really sure how knowing that helps me understand the context you use it in, unless your using it to be inappropriate and leave your listeners confused and uncomfortable? To be fair, you still don’t understand the context. A poster here related a story where he hacked his boss’s computer to say “Let’s go down to the quarry, and throw stuff down there” every time his boss put “lol” in an e-mail. The phrase itself comes from _The Office_, true, but **Bo** thought that the poster’s story was so funny that we have what we have now - **Bo** using it to meant “lol”. ---

Clearly, it should be interpreted as proletariat worker ( **SnowBo** ) in struggle against ruling class Boss (Boss), and an example of the people’s revolutionary irony. ---

The people pitting Bo over his catchphrase all need to be taken down to the quarry and… …handed shit to toss down into it so they can see for themselves that it’s a lotta fun 😃 ---

So, are we going to the quarry or not? I have stuff to throw and my wife’s given me permission to go. ---

I find it ironic that **Snowboarder Bo** vigorously defends his right to post what he wants, because hey, this is a free country, man, and I do what I want! yet when others post what they want, such as a pit thread or an ATMB thread about it,\*\* they \*\*are whiny bitches. Hey, this is a free country, man, and we, too, do what we want! ---

OK, that does it! I’m turning the car around, we’re going back home. No Happy Meals for anybody! ---

Hey, this is a free country, man, and we, too, do what we want! Your logic is flawed. He never said they didn’t have the right to post what they did. There is no irony in “I have the right to speak, and you are whiny bitches for complaining about it” There is no disconnect there. I don’t especially like the joke either (well, I _didn’t_, but the phrase is getting more retroactively funny with each post complaining about it), but come on. That’s not irony. ---

Yeah, I just got permission, too… but that took all the fun out of it. So I’m gonna stay home and clean out a drawer.\* \*PLEASE do not make this a meme. Thank you. This thread has ruined life for me, because I’ve seen that something’s only worth spending hours and hours on if it’s annoying people. Bo Knows Annoying. ---

Hey, this is a free country, man, and we, too, do what we want! The ATMB thread implies that Snowboarder should be stopped by the Mods - that is more than just saying what they want, it is limiting what others can say. I do find that similar to people arguing that laws preventing them from discriminating inhibits free expression of religion. And I have never seen anyone condemned for defending themselves in the Pit before. ---

I don’t see anyone condemning him- I see him being told that he’s being annoying and asking if he would stop. And I think he is trying to limit what others can say, by saying that they shouldn’t be complaining about it. But, whatever. I don’t have my “panties in a wad” or anything- I am aware of the ignore feature. ---

Let’s bring things back to Earth, shall we? This isn’t a First Amendment crisis. It’s saying “dude, shut the fuck up” to a guy who won’t stop making fart noises. ---

I said it wasn’t contradictory to “not care” whether you’re annoying people and to think it’s funny that they’re annoyed. You’re clearly getting off on it, and full of shit if you deny it. Clear now, or should I dumb it down further? ---
