I’ve never in my life put anyone on “ignore,”\* but after the fourth or fifth time you said it and I realized you were just doing it to be obnoxious, my finger hovered over the button momentarily. Use this information as you see fit, or discard it wherever you like to throw things you don’t care about.

- In the message board context— not counting Usenet plonking of spammers, or in real life.

I suppose a quarry is wonderfully delightful. To be in it is merely a bore. But to be out of it is simply a chance to throw rocks.

Damn it. Now this thread has me pining for the quarries.

Oh, and a random factoid. My homeowners association specifially forbids quarries and oil rigs (seriously). So I can’t throw shit anywhere or drill baby drill. Though if they ever piss me off enough there is going to be a big sculpture made out of pvc piping spray painted black in the front yard that sure looks like one.

If you posted nothing but “LOL” in every single fucking thread you’d probably get pitted also, so it has nothing to do with the meaning of it.

We should finish this by taking one quarry and throwing it into another quarry.

Maybe the first couple times it was used, but not anymore. The quarry crap is just not funny a teeny bit. I might just have to double (add one) to my ignore list.

Some humor is timeless and immortal.

You are on a roll today. First it was the response to **SA** in the penn state thread, that was clever.

Then this, my hat is off to you sir (or ma’am, or whatever).

Cameroon is too poor for quarries. They actually have to throw their shit up in the air and watch it just kind of fall to the ground in an unsatisfying way.

Save the world.
