The BBQ Pit has become really tame in the 18 months or so since I joined.
I hope no one minds food poisoning because the sausages are going to stay pink at these temperatures.
Ha. Exactly.
It’s all good.
Well, you’re right. There was lots to choose from.
What’s the sport in that? Anyone can rant from a desktop.

Oh come on. He didn’t do any scolding this time, so that’s ok.
Is this just a ditty or is there more meaning I’m missing? Either way I appreciate it.
What can I say? It’s my first pit and you only get so much to work with when the subject matter is lame. I’ll try to find someone more interesting next time.
And Little Nemo, you’re completely right. After watching her in action and reading the way others feel about her, it’s apparently common knowledge that she does this and is an asshole. Before I joined, one of the first threads I read that I remember seeing her in was something in the pit about married women needing to wear rings or something. It was then that I knew she was cray cray and she’s shown only more of the same since then. So, thanks for the advice. I’ll try to laugh off the crazy in the future.
No, I think you are a sock because of your frequent Well, I’m new here, but I know all the board memes even though I haven’t been here long I feel that most of the posters are jerks and I’ve only been a member for few months but I know all about banned posters and old board drama and I’m new here so I don’t know much about the pit. You’re new around here, right?
Gotta hand it to you for attempting to rally colander to your defense. colander tears into me and nearly everyone else on the regular, and she’ll get you, too, for making stupid claims, probably even get us both for this lame thread. Maybe you should try saying her name three times to get her attention and bring her down here.
Once again, you’ve shown yourself to be a liar. It doesn’t take any sort of rocket scientist to pick up memes. Why? Because mostly the same ones here are everywhere. I’ve never said anything about banned posters or any old board drama, just the my last post in this thread about what I’d been reading in the months before I joined. Now I’m sure you came in with obnoxious guns blazing the second you found this place, but when I discover a new message board, I lurk around just a bit before I start to post. In this case, it was a couple of months. Shrug. Your opinion of non-facts mean shit to me.
Actually you mean shit to me, so that’s ok. I also say I’m new around here, idiot, so people won’t think I believe things should be changed to fit a new person’s opinion. You know, kinda like the person who just joined to bitch about how awful the pit is. But considering your propensity for denial and inability to comprehend the actual written word (versus your made up bull shit), I have no doubt this will go right over your head too.
I was “attempting to rally colander.” She’d been bitching about you doing the same thing to her across like 4 different threads and them was one of the last people that mentioned your duplicity when I decided to ask about the general behavior in ATMB. I also think it’s cute that your mimicking how I initially called you out in the obesity thread. I’m beginning to think you don’t have an original thought in your head. Ha.
Last, I’ll point out again as a completely “niggling, unimportant side topic in a thread that didn’t concern you” way that you still have yet to address the fact that you lie and misrepresent other poster’s positions. It would seem to be a charge a honest person would like to address from all the people I’ve quoted who have called you on it. But I’m sure you won’t because you got nothing. So you’ll call me a sock instead again.
Now I’m off to work. Go forth and twist, like in the wind, some more. You posting anywhere on this board is just fodder for more fun. See ya soon.
Threatening to troll me, are you? Oh yeah,you’re new here, so you don’t know that’s against the rules, right? Problem with your threats I don’t care if you dog me all over the board. I’ve yet to lose my temper in an online discussion because like most reasonable people, I realize that a lot of our online output is an unvarnished, concentrated response to a specific topic that we might even be too polite to broach in real life. And hardly any of us have the time or inclination to offer a complete resume qualifying our opinions, but it’d benefit you to consider one of two possibilities when participating here. One is that some posters have a wealth of experience to share in any given topic, the other is that some posters have never stepped outside their front door but still feel the need to pontificate and lay down the law with little to go on. Often you can’t tell the difference, so you have to decide how much you want to invest in this.
If you are the type who actually gets physically riled and stews for three days before you run crying to the mods then attempt to rally a witch hunt to support your hurt feelings, you might want to limit your participation to less polarizing topics. It’s not worth letting opinions of strangers interfere in your enjoyment of the environment. Or use your ignore function. I’ve got a handful of usernames memorized who I trust to provide terrific insight, a few who are good for laughs, and the rest I forget as soon as I walk away. I’ll forget your name, too, as I can see we have nothing in common and unless you are a biologist, a crunchy parent like me, an outdoorsy type or funny (most definitely not) I will never see you on the boards as anything other than text on a page. And I’m sure not going to needle you or give you a hard time because you don’t like me. It’s just not important.
I don’t have the mental energy required to keep straight two different posters whose names begin with the same letter.
I find it hard to believe that anyone even notices my posts as I only have 4 or 5 pet topics and I dont stray out of them often. I’m not that hard to avoid. And if there is someone out there who frequents the same topics who’s an a-religious, outdoorsy birder, with the occasional foster teen, a young child and a smart mouth for pushy men I’d like to know why we aren’t BFFs. Or dating.
Speaking of socks…
Weren’t Troppus and Colander both part of the original Team Vagina in those trainwreck feminist threads? I thought they were total besties.
Shit, that’s a compliment. I’d never be so subtley snarky as colander, I’d get mod-busted my first try at sneaking in an insult in IMHO or MPSIMS. Plus, colander spends far more time rolling her eyes at me than joining hands and singing Kumbaya. And colander doesn’t do friends, that’s apparent. She appears to hold me, much like everyone else on here, in utter contempt, but I kind of like that about her.
And I dropped out of the Team Vagina threads long before there was any resolution. The tasteless PMs I got after my last request for help from breastfeeding moms pretty much soured me on the whole process.
Nothing breaks up feminist solidarity faster than a catfight.
I know higher-level thinking is difficult for some of you but it’s possible for Troppus and colander to agree that, say, women should be treated with respect while thinking that the other is in general a total dipshit.
I think everyone is a total dipshit, maybe especially those who agree with me.
I see what you did there…
I know, and I’m ashamed. I fucking hate puns when other people do it, but they bleed into all my written speech and half the spoken kind. I hate myself.
I always tell 'em it’s because I hold them to a higher standard, but really I just like judging people.
Yes, you say that a lot. It’s funny because I think most people here are pretty cool, and am contemptuous of you because as far as I can tell from your posts on this board, you are a dull-witted, scientifically illiterate harpy who never deigns to let facts and figures get in the way of a good self-righteous squawk. What’s a good two-word phrase for that? Oh, yeah!
Troppus, I think you are a real “crunchy mom”.
Or brings us back together into a kumbaya moment when a man uses the word “catfight”.
And in many cases, turns our attention to his unguarded nether regions
