It’s not that I wasn’t “in on it”. It’s more that the obviously 13-year-old-male style of the “humor”, the lack of punctuation, and, well, the “joke” just lacks that little something. You know–the funny.
Whatever happened to the OP, anyway? It’s been like four days since he’s posted in his own thread.
Has he been grounded?
Or has he fallen victim to item #2877 in the SDMB List of Conventions and Malt-Beverage Recipes? Videlicet: “You know you’re in trouble when your Pit thread becomes a jokefest.”

What? The OP posted two posts before yours. Or did you mean the object of the OP’s ire?

Damn it. I was following this conversation along so well and then this sign-off-less post has to come along and screw it all to hell.
Aaargh! It’s driving me to madness. Are you still talking? WHO ARE YOU?!

What was the OP again?
already explained, already detailed, and I was evidently wrong you still aren’t in on the joke
You’re a Dumas

It’s French for Dumbass Dumbass

I hate it when the op goes missing in the middle of a thread that has become somehow weirdly hijacked while still largely on topic

I get it. That doesn’t change the fact that it’s obviously immature and lacking the funny. I’m sure I would laugh if I were 13, though, if that makes you feel any better.

Hostile Dialect, Narcissist
but you dont get it, there was nothing to laugh at if you are 13, the only one laughing was me because as already explained the kid was serious. as in he seriously thought that Dumas was in fact french for Dumbass.
your reading comprehension has gone up!!

I actually knew a Dumas back when I was 13. And yes, she was teased and called a Dumbass.
I felt bad for her.
Perhaps you are only recently arrived to our little cul-de-sac of the Internet; therefore allow me to acquaint you with a sample of our idiosyncrasies. We take a measure of pride in bandying about words with elaborate flourishes hereabouts. If we were to peruse a thesaurus at every turn, naught but fragmentary thoughts would ever be committed to the virtual parchment. Indeed, some of our number have taken it upon ourselves to ingrain a grander set of verbiage into our synapses, that we may summon them forth with alacrity. It may behoove you either to emulate this feat, or to seek refuge elsewhere on the electron sea.
Yeah, okay, whatever. :rolleyes:

:rolleyes: Whatever. I’ve been around long enough to spot pseudo-intellectual verbal diarrhea when I see it, which may make you feel superior, but really doesn’t add much to the discussion. It’s sad to think how long it took you to write that, and if you claim that this is “normal speak” for you, I suspect you spend a lot of time alone.
“electron sea” indeed, Robert Frost.

pointless sigs are pointless.
Yes, but some of the points aren’t sigless, and that’s the point…of something or other.
