Well done.
The patience of a saint.
Good idea. I’m amazed the thing grew to such length so quickly, even given the pedantry, argumentativeness, and general prolixity of Dopers.
Oh, and back to the last on-point post, those arrogant idiots who defaced Stonehenge did about as much good for their cause as the jerks who defaced the Nazca lines. In other words, none.
Santypanty needed granny cath.
My god. Banned.
Thank you!!!
Yeah, literally nobody was unaware of climate change yet would be informed by defacing an ancient religious monument. Hell, we talk about climate change every day so, this is making us talk about them instead of talking about climate change.
At best, it is like throwing water on a hysterical person to get them to stop. You think it will cause them to be clear-minded, but it just makes them wet and hysterical.
And then you slap them, and they’re now in pain and wet and hysterical…
Since we mercifully stopped talking about language here, maybe we could do the same for Stonehenge. This thread is for people doing dumb things on the board, not dumb things in general.
Maybe we can ask “what were you thinking when you posted an off-board ‘what were you thinking’ to an on-board ‘what were you thinking’ thread?”
And there’s another thread for that discussion.
wtf ?

Well, they did say “crazy”.
That is definitely some crazy shit.
WTF indeed such a trollish remark. What was he thinking never mind I don’t wanna know.
The the actual fuck.
Probably something along the lines of George Carlin’s bit about Daffy Duck and Porky Pig, as opposed to human characters. At least I hope so.
ETA - no, wait, I see Carlin’s bit was Porky Pig and Elmer Fudd, so one human character. Never mind.
Different times, man. Different times…
I suspect drugs or alcohol were involved.
This one may be on the fuzzy edge between the two threads here, but I’ll err on the side of caution and put it here.
2outta3 posts in MPSIMS that his AAA membership got canceled without any notification, and he only found out when he tried to renew online and subsequently got a notice that the payment was rejected. Kicker is he has stated he has no intention (or curiosity about) of contacting AAA tomorrow when their offices open and find out what actually happened, and refuses to entertain any alternate explanations. Just sounds like a sob story to me, and on top of that he now has other Dopers going back and forth with each other.
