This place is fucking dead. It’s quieter than the Cincinnati Bengals football stadium in January. There’s so little posting that all the hamsters are getting fat and lazy. Why, just last week poor little Chester had to get a double bypass because of the sedentary lifestyle the board slowdown has forced him into.
Get back to your jobs and colleges and start wasting more time on the SDMB already!
Shhhh!
You’ll wake the hampsters. They need their rest. I’d say they earned it after the election and all.
And all this after I just posted to compliment YOU. Harrumph.
Some credit here!
I’ve been wasting bandwisth like a…well, like a madman today. I’d start a realy cool MPSIMS thread, but I’m tapped–I already did MR DUCKS a while back, and we can’t really do “What The Hell Is That?” or “Luxury! Why when I was a lad…” again.
All the good threads have been posted…
You’re unhappy that there’s no post-Xmas rush here?
You don’t remember the days when a ton of utter idjits with their shiny new home computers and their shiny AOL (Internet for Idiots) CDs came bumbling in on December 26 with names like sexxykiten545826 or keewldood456723 and asking stupid questions about getting high?
I sure don’t miss those days.
dude, even I wasn’t here cos of crimbo, and I’m a sad atheist who lives on the SDMB.
Hmmph.
In MY day, we didn’t even have threads! We had to make do with grains of spit to follow our trains of thought! Do you know how hard it is to write an entire post on a grain of spit? With BLOOD?
(Okay, so that was a weak try, but man, you didn’t give me anything to work with!).

I like it. After Bush won I was wondering how the pit would react. It looks to me that a lot of the venom has been drained out of this place and it has largely returned to its pre 9/11 state.
:d
I’ve been posting regularly, but that’s because I’ve been working on my Web software chops and I’ve been “rewarding” myself for getting this or that thing done with a post or a thread-read. Sometimes even both. It’s been working out very well – CSS and Java beans are gonna be On My Menu next week.

Meh. Just wait till he gets back from Xmas vacation. He gets glared at by a pretzel, and I guarantee you there’ll be at least one thread bitching about that. (And well all know who’ll start it, too, so there’s no need to mention any names.)
Not just the Pit, all the forums seem slow. This one particularly though.
Anyway, dopers like Inigo who are doing their best are excused. Now, the rest of you sonsabitches, get crackin’!
OOOOH! I got one! I got one!
I found out last night that my wife has been seeing another guy (no joke, regrettably). Would this go into the pit so I can vent? In MPSIMS so i can whip up a pity party? In GQ for an explanation of all my physiological reactions?
Or has this already been done to death on the boards? 
Jeez, sorry about that. I’d vote for Pit so we can use strong language and you’ll still get the pity party and probably some GQ type responses.
Dude, I don’t think I’ve ever replied to you on the board so you probably don’t know me at all…but I’ve been there and it sucks. All I can say is I’m sorry that you have to go through that.
Best wishes for a happy and better new year.

Another heartfelt “Damd that sucks”. Sorry your having to go through this.
Sorry, it’s my fault. I’ve been gone. But I’m back now, so things should pick up again.
Damn, I thought this was going to be a thread where we all came up with witty analogies to death and quiet. Like:
It’s deader than a dead guy who got killed and now he’s dead.
It’s quieter than a dead guy who died.
Well, you know, we could start a thread on slogans designed to piss off pro-lifers. You know, slogans like, “Stop Abortions! Suck More Cock!” or “More Gays = Fewer Abortions!” or “Stop Abortions! Have Anal Sex Tonight!” Or we could start one disseminating dubious medical advice like “Picking your nose with a knife is a good idea.” or “Try hitting yourself in the head with a hammer if you’ve got a migrane.” or “4 out 5 proctologists recommend anal sex for their patients who choose sex.”
Tuckerfan, I sense a recurrent anal sex theme…
Is there some news in your life that you’d like to share with the group?
