I saw a meme once that said:

If I were invisible, the first thing I’d do would be go to France and beat up a mime. Everyone would think he was the greatest performer to ever live.

Wasn’t it from The Office? Anyway, it was amusing the first few times, and then was annoying as all hell, and never got back around to being amusing again.

It was.

I _think_ @Snowboarder_Bo said that he then used it on a coworker or boss or something, and how frustrated the guy would get, and the way it was described I had tears running down my face with laughter. Maybe that why I found Bo’s use of it so hysterical - I’d crack up all over again.

Either that or I’m imagining things - hard to tell nowadays.

Was Bo also the guy who posted Covid mortality stats every day or week?

He had a temper, but I sure liked him the rest of the time.

He could go off the rails but he could be really cool, he once sent me a PM to thank me for giving him some advice about a video game. I thought that was pretty classy and it raised my opinion of him a lot.

And then there was @The_Grapist, whose schtick was stupid and juvenile and one-note, and yet strangely amusing and I still think of it to this day. (Sadly, the effect is lost on Discourse.)

I just remember him ( **Snowboarder\_Bo** ) saying one of my arguments was “[idiotic and self-absorbed](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/racism-and-wuhan-virus-only-because-wuhan-is-a-fairly-well-known-large-city/849807/28)” in a fuckwitted effort to rules lawyer his way around “insult the post, not the poster.”

And he never did anything to convince me that he wasn’t a fuckwit after all.

So MMV, I guess.
