Just putting a little emphasis behind his request.  
Please, let’s let the Super Bowl threads and other bullshit die… slowly, painfully.

So tell me, Chief. What _can_ we talk about, then? (I’d insert a smirk here but I’m not in the mood to get my ass whipped.)

Eat right, exercise daily, live clean, die anyway.

Chief, Ol buddy ol pal,  
If we let the ‘other’ bullshit die too, then this board will be empty! Then what will do with all those extra hours?

oh yeah… I might get a life.

I think everyone is wondering what Coldfire thinks about these Superbowl threads. Maybe we should ask him.

Wow, that voting thing sure was fun. Not at all controversial or overly dramatized.

## Well, I don’t open American Footbal threads. It’s not like I would understand them 😉

(Wondering what would happen if I posted “I agree entirely with Chief Scott” and added a couple of smileys)

I gotta agree with the Chief. Of course, he has an entire warship to aid in persuasion, but there seems to be an awful lot of Superbowl threads, too.

Weapons are free, Chief. All tracked targets are to be considered hostile and dispatched immediately.

Where’s that dammed Aegis cruiser when you need it? At least the Ike has the new CIWS upgrade installed. If these bastards get inside of the other defenses, that’ll take care of the threats.

Well, did it ever occur to you that maybe, since the Super Bowl has commenced, that possibly the threads would also commence rather quickly as well?

Do you often, at around 5:00 PM, scream at the sun to please go away?

So, Chief, what is the going **fee** for smilies these days?
