No.
Well, I got pitted once, but I was being an evil bastard, so I guess I deserved it. Anyways, as long as you are non-controversial/ or not evil like me, you probably won’t be pitted.
Well fuck off then.
Aren’t you a lawyer?
Anything that makes a lawyer get sick to her stomach has to be pretty darn bad.
Of course, maybe you’re not a lawyer, in which case this jape has lost its jump.
. . . does that post need a smiley ? Nah.
Getting pitted =! Initiation
You can never be a real man until you’ve been pitted.
I have to brag because my initiatory pitting was done by no one else but the mighty Fenris. It was, I believe, about my assertion that the local Domino’s was staffed by pinheads and that Papa Johns was the better choice. Epic stuff.
You were Pitted a second time, ya smarmy bastard. You probably forgot that, though, due to the fact that the bonehead that Pitted you made no real attempt to make it a decent Pitting, and was justifiably called lame. The goat-felching rectal haberdasher was roundly trounced for said lame attempt, and now lives in shame under a modest yet comfortable rock.
Sure you can, it’s pretty easy.
Hey, last time I looked you (two) were still engaged. Congratulatoins! (I guess…)
Is marriage a Pittable offence? Then I guess I’m pitting you for the first time! (and auto-pitting myself at the same time)
I avoid that one too, but I always thought it was full of God-hating athiests and liberals.
Happy
What advice would you give to someone who wants to be pitted? How would a person go about making that come to pass?
Without breaking the rules, of course. On second thought, maybe behaving in such a way as to cause oneself to be pitted is, by definition, against the rules. Would you consider that “trolling”? Think about it, won’t you?
Your friend,
cuauhtemoc
I’ll Pit the both of you for cheating me outta my toaster, if you’d like. 
I think that second time, I was lumped in casually with other smarmy bastards and thus was not the primary focus of the rant.
You’re not a real man until you’ve been Pitied.
Years ago, when we had BBSes instead of Internet forums, I used to post on WWIV boards that had War/Flame areas. I had handles like War Pig, Dr. Ruthless & Beelzebubba and came in with guns blazing. It was a troll’s heaven.
Then, WWIV gave birth to the Asshole Factory. It was more than just random flaming. It was the gathering place of the most obnoxious individuals in existence. There was Hambone, the smarmy, slimy sleazebag who would give every new female who logged in the “Pinkies or Brownies” quiz. There was Lovely Woman!, this really deranged lesbian who would post drunk and talk about how all men would be strung up, lobotomized, and made into “sperm cows” and thus turn the country into a Sapphic society. There was another chick who claimed to be a lawyer. I pissed her off to the point where she said she was going to sue me, but never did.
Hambone eventually tried to get Asshole Factory made into a newsgroup, but was unsuccessful. It was about that time I got burned out on those types of boards anyway.
I occasionally get the urge to relapse back into my old self, but it doesn’t last too long. I’ve considered pitting popular posters like iampunha and Opalcat for no reason at all, but it would just be wasted effort for a 2 second joke. Besides, the BBQ Pit often slides away from being a Flame board. The threads sometimes turn into something unexpected, like realizing the OP was actually a cry for help, and the remainder of the thread turns into a support group. That’s what makes The Straight Dope miles above the rest.

Marriage is a Pittable (or pitiable) offense. But since auntie em left work early today to nurse an developing illness (cold/flu), I suppose we oughta go easy on her. Thanks for the congrats!
And since the toaster we’re hoping to get for our lovely home together is nowhere near as exciting as the one you pointed out, I think I’ll join you in that pitting.
Quick poll – how many people read the OP and considered starting a seperate Pit thread for Idle Thoughts? You know, just for the fun of it?
Be honest, now. I have my own hand raised.
