Well, it isn’t _my_ fault that the punchline (my post) comes immediately after the part found in **Scruloose** ’s post.

And I do argue in my spare time.

You had OPs? In my day we had to post in threads without them.

I know it’s lame. But, But…

IT’S MY ONLY LINE!!!

Oh, it’s not forgotten. Everything in here is relevant, tangentially and elliptically.

Or maybe that’s just the way my brain works.

The thread title says it all. There are so many horrific true tales out there that they need their own Pit, Volume II.

Oh, and by the way, I had to walk eight miles on my knees in a blizzard just to be born.

I wish to complain about this thread that was started not three hours ago by the OP.

It’s dead.

No it’s not, it’s just digressing.

Beautiful verbiage, the crappy parent thread.

I always wanted to be a thread-hijacker – leaping from topic to topic, perched on a full-lumbar-support office chair in the mighty forests of British Columbia…
