Twenty Years ago this week, the greatest thread in SDMB history was started

Oh gosh. Buckeyes. Thanks, @CairoCarol , for that memory.

I don’t know if it is the greatest thread in SDMB history, but it was certainly the greatest pitting in SDMB history. As it was published in 2000, and we have had many Pit threads in the 20-some years since, that says something. Presenting “The Telemarketer Speaks. I respond” by @Cervaise:

It contains such priceless comments as, “I have a butthole, too, but that doesn’t imply I want a running jigsaw inserted into it.”

And this gem:

“Why in the name of God’s Throbbing Prostate would I be so witless as to give my credit card number to a whiskey-swilling lout whose cerebrum is so soaked in spirits that his career options have been reduced to telephoning random people and bullying them into the purchase of a dozen tickets to see Yanni’s houseboy vomiting into a moon boot?”

Why do I feel like I should be saying, “Young grasshoppers, if you want to post in the Pit, you can learn from this”?
