Ten locked threads on the front page of the Pit!

… and that’s not including the stickies.

Is this a record?

I would have put this in MPSIMS, but since it’s kinda about the site, this seems to be the only place.

I don’t see any locked threads? :confused:

With the setting for “Last Two Days” (default setting?), I currently see:[ul][li]My First “YouTube” Pitting?[/li][li]I Pit Saje [/li][li]I Pit Barack Obama [/li][li]James Otto Sweet Heart and Damning Suicides to Hell[/li][li]I pit troppus [/li][li]I pit mice [/li][li]Whyyyyyy [/li][/ul]

Changing it to “From the Last Week”, three threads would have just slipped off the front page with a “Last Two Days” setting:[ul][li]The Apollo Moon Missions Were Faked in a Studio[/li][li]Were We Told the Truth about World War Two? [/li][li]American Imperialism[/li][/ul]
For eight of those, the OP has been banned: three Threads started by Cosmored and five were started by notipping.
One is a pitting of a poster who’s just been banned, James Otto Sweet Heart.
One is a Thread about a banned poster, the topic has been resumed here as a ATMB Thread.
Really, it’s the crazy amount of Threads by Cosmored and notipping that bring the count up artificially high. Some banned posters have been banned for the sole reason (no cite) that they joined and immediately started a ridiculous number of Threads without participating in discusssion, so I imagine we’ve hit equally high numbers of locked Threads before.

Well one group of posts should be disqualified from the record because the obvious goal of that troll was to see how many pit threads he could start before a banning.

Allowing that is like winning the footrace because you were using a bicycle.

Looks like the OP picked a bad week to stop sniffing glue!

Maybe, but I do love gladiator movies.

Boyo-Ever see a grown man naked?

Or been in a Turkish prison?

Hey, you’re not the pilot. You’re Kareem Abdul Jabaar !!!

I’m sorry son, but you must have me confused with someone else. My name is Roger Murdock. I’m the co-pilot.

Shiiiiit, maaaaan. That honky muf’ be messin’ mah old lady… got to be runnin’ cold upside down his head, you know?

He’ll catch up with you on the metside.

I think you’re really great, but my dad says you don’t work hard enough on defense. He says sometimes you don’t even run down the court, and that you never really try except in the playoffs.

Tell your Dad to try dragging Walton or Laimbeer up and down the court every night.

Cannot resist. The obligatory and still utterly hilarious scene from Airplane

:smiley:

Don’t start up with your White Zone shit again.

LMAO!! The very first time I landed at LAX was… about 1988. They actually still played that recording. I busted up laughing- completely lost it standing there at the curb. Baggage handler for one of the airlines looked at me and smiled and said, " Airplane " ?

:smiley:

Bit of amusing trivia: The man abandoned at curbside/ half ON the curb was Howard W. Koch, the Producer of the film. Kind of makes those close-ups of the taxi meter that much more hilarious to know that as the film progressed, the Producer was outraged as the overages !! ( Far as I’ve ever read, the film was completed on time and on budget, but it’s a rich inside joke ).

Ouch. In reading through the Trivia page, it mentions that it wasn’t Howard Koch in the taxicab, but instead one Howard Jarvis.

:smack:

( I like the version I’d heard better. But it isn’t the Straight Dope. )

The man in the taxi was Howard Jarvis, the man behind California’s Proposition 13, which is the reason the taxi meter running so high was funny.

Howard Jarvis, co-author of Prop. 13.

ETA: Damn, gotta type faster.
