[QUOTE=unbrok3npp] At least I got a laugh out of this thread. You say I that I have less of a life than you, yet you write nearly 1000 words and waste probably 15 minute of your pathetic life dwelling on _me_! To use what seems to be a sdmb regular, “the irony is self-evident in your post.” But it’s OK because im sure all your family and friends are very proud of you. You should go down to your local school and tell all the kids there how pathetic their lives are compared to yours too- I bet you’ll have a really big hard-on then. [/QUOTE] Oh, man - educational standards really ARE down, aren’t they? I didn’t say you had less of a life than I. I said that even though I have NO life, I am LESS pathetic than you. Thanks for proving my point. Also, I’m a girl. Your harping about my “hard-on” merely indicates your jealousy that a female is getting more pussy than you. Either that or you were speculating on the possibility of my clitoral erection,\* and I assure you that nothing associated with you could possibly produce that reaction in me. \*Unlikely, given your apparent ignorance of human anatomy ---

[QUOTE=Uvula Donor] But \*\*Hama \*\*won’t bother posting a thread about it like you would. I can see the title of the OP now: “ **OMG! I have a hard-on!!1! What do I do now??!?** ” [/QUOTE] I wish that _was_ the title of an OP. I would pay to read the thread. ---

I think it’s funny how everyone criticizes me and all the “stupid and pointless” threads I start; yes most of the threads I have started have been over 4 pages. So obviously some people think its worth their time. Which brings me back to my original point of why the admins would close a thread that has dozens and dozens of people interested. Whatever. Im done with this thread. ---

[QUOTE=unbrok3npp] There is a world outside other than behind a monitor. If you explore it, then maybe you’ll start threads that are worth reading … [/QUOTE] E.B. White said this, about that, in his Introduction to the 1972 edition of _Strunk and White_, speaking of a new chapter he appended to _Elements of Style_, for that edition: Chapter V - An Approach to Style (With a List of Reminders). > [@](#): > > This chapter is addressed particularly to those who feel that English prose composition is not only a necessary skill but a sensible pursuit as well – a way to spend one’s days. There is stylish prose in this thread, **unbrok3npp** , possibly in that 75% you neglect to read. Notice, English prose composition is a necessary skill. That’s a lesson you’ll take away from this board, whether you stay or not. This thread has been your primer, with admonitions and examples. Good luck. ---

[/QUOTE] Hey, douchebag, when we[look up all the threads you’ve started,](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/search.php?searchid=2752922) we find that only two of your 18 threads have been over 4 pages. One was the one where you’re too stupid to fuck, and the other is this one, where you’re just too stupid. The mods have closed two of your threads. Neither of them got past the first page, and neither of them had “dozens” of people interested. See why people are pointing and laughing at you? ---

[/quote] Then you’re not perfect. This topic is silly. Can I start a new one? I really like smoked herring. Anyone else like smoked herring? You buy a tin, it’s $2. Lots of fish.
