When come back, bring pie as an apology for the first lie you told about me. I’ll help your addled brain remember what that lie was, even tho I already called you out once on it: Why don’t you just put him on ignore? ---

One of the best things in comedy is seeing how far you can take something and keep in going, if the audience is in on it, then the joke gets even funnier. I think what Snowboarder Bo is doing is fucking great and he should keep on doing it, which one of us didn’t laugh about taking a joke too far? What about: Team America, The over the top puppet sex and the puking were some of the funniest bits in the movie Tex Avery cartoons, when they are dropping an anvil, piano, bus, battleship, etc on the dog at the end of “Bad Luck Blackie” is a fucking classic on taking things too far. Airplaine (the movie) When everybody is lining up to slap the shit out of the lady who is panicking and the line just keeps going and going There are tons of these, give the dude a break, if you don’t like it just gloss over it when reading a thread. Or throw that shit into the quarry. ---

Or throw that shit into the quarry. I don’t think your analogies apply to our current situation. The historic ones were actually funny to most of the people who viewed them. ---

> [@King\_Salami](#): > > There are tons of these, give the dude a break, if you don’t like it just gloss over it when reading a thread. More easily said than done. If it were the exact same phrase repeated each time it would be fairly easy. A few words into the brain would recognize it and I could skip past it. That isn’t the way Snowboarder Bo likes to apply it. He likes to tweak it and massage it, and make it a little different each time. By the fucking time you realize you are pulling up to the edge of the quarry, you have already read pretty much the whole damn phrase. It is fucking annoying, which we all now know equals offensive. ---

It is fucking annoying, which we all now know equals offensive. (bolding mine) Nope. You’re wrong. Go look at the first post in this thread. The vast majority of the time it’s been “Let’s go to the quarry and throw stuff down there”. A couple of the early ones varied for 2 reasons: I would misplace the word “down” and the original phrase included the word “shit”, which I stopped using because I didn’t want to use a curse word. ---

I’ll just put you on ignore as you have requested. Yep, you’re wrong. You’re also apparently too stupid to realize that in most of those that you yourself posted, the phrase is consistent. The fact that it’s bookended or preceded by something else is incidental to it’s use in the middle of a sentence, but doesn’t change the fact that the phrase is the same. As I explained, early on I was inconsistent, using “down” in the wrong place and using the original “shit” instead of stuff. But for a long time now, it’s always been “Let’s go to the quarry and throw stuff down there”. I’ll bet a nickel that your curiosity gets the better of you, and you at least take me off ignore to see this post. And when you reply to it, you know what I’ll do? I’ll Let’s go to the quarry and throw stuff down there at you, that’s what I’ll do. ---
