Where did "Nuke 'em from orbit" come from?

There it is! Better get another look, just to be sure. :smiley:

The weirdo posters mostly come out at night. Mostly.

My mommy said there were no weird posters, no real wierd posters, but there are…

Seventeen posts? Hey, man, I don’t want to rain on your parade, but we’re not going to last seventeen thread views. Those mods are gonna come in here, just like they did before, and they’re gonna come in here and they’re gonna come in here and they’re gonna ban us!

Well that’s great, that’s just fuckin’ great man. Now what the fuck are we supposed to do? We’re in some real pretty shit now man… That’s it man, game over man, game over! What the fuck are we gonna do now? What are we gonna do?

Well, I mean…I know this is an emotional moment, but let’s not make snap judgments. Let’s move cautiously. First, this message board has a substantial dollar value attached to it…

They can bill me!

Maybe you haven’t been keeping up on current events, but we just got our asses kicked pal!

Look, this is a multi-million dollar message board, okay? Contrapuntal can’t make that kind of decision, he’s just a grunt! No offence.

I know, I know, but we’re dealing with changing scenarios here. This thing is major, Contra. I mean really major. You gotta go with its energy.

This is clearly an important poster we’re dealing with here. We can’t just arbitrarily ban him–

Those two posts are worth millions to the Chicago Reader Straight Dope division. If you’re smart, we can both come out of this heroes, and we will be set up for life.

You just try getting a sock/troll past the mods.

How can they ban it if they don’t know about it?

But they will know about it, What. From me. Just like they’ll know how you were responsible for the creation of one hundred and fifty-seven socks here –

y’know I don’t know which is worse, you or the mods, you don’t see them screwing each other for a percentage

Wait a post!

: does knife trick, bouncing sharp point faster and faster on the blue line between posts in thread :

You know, I’m as against nuking the whole site from orbit as anybody, but I’d make an exception in this case :mad:

Hey, Cervaise, did anyone ever mistake you for a man?
