1. :rolleyes: ( I hate when people just post this. It adds nothing to the conversation and is very confusing about which side they are on. ) ---

Well, at least _here’s_ a funny thread! Of course, what’s funny is that the **OP** just doesn’t get it. ---

#30 or so) **Lynn Bodoni** locks the thread with a comment that joke threads don’t belong in the Pit. #31 or so) Someone sneaks a post in between **Lynn** ’s post and the lockdown. ---

originally posted by DrLizardo > [@](#): > > …sarcastic repetitive french bashing… > > C’mon folks, it’s a JOKE. — He even pointed out that it’s a JOKE. — Last time I checked, factual accuracy - while allowable - was not required in humor – and often the factual INaccuracy of a joke is actually PART of the humor. _ **satire humor below, posted from other sites** _ Great American Military Victories 1. Hiroshima 2. Nagasaki 3. My Lai 4. Wounded Knee 5. Kent State University Who first used biological warfare? The Americans, with their cholera-infested gifts to the natives! P.S. Look, DrLizardo, they’re all factual! P.P.S. No civilians were hurt in this posting (unlike the events above) ---

#32) Another fuckwit with an off-topic post seeks to turn thread into political debate by pulling in quotes from other threads and then responding to them. #33) OP posts snarky comment about dragging dead horses in from elsewhere for the purpose of beating them. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Cerowyn \* > \*\*Well, at least _here’s_ a funny thread! Of course, what’s funny is that the **OP** just doesn’t get it. \*\* Fortunately, there is only a few dipshits like him in the thread united in their need for a clue. It sad when someone doesn’t understand that they at laughing at him, not with him. They are doing even worse in the thread they fled from. Still the self-delusional back-patting is unintentionally amusing in a way. The real question is whether this pony will learn any new tricks or will be stuck with the same tiresome act. oh, for the pony in question-here you go: 1. Excessive use of tiresome and obvious cliches such as “Jump the Shark”, “beating a dead horse” and “the terrorists have already won” and the worst of all “Hi Opal”. ---

1. (the post that doesn’t get posted) _as FordPrefect types out a paragraph or two, decides that nothing in what he wrote is at all interesting or original, or even relevant, and deletes it_ ---

and then the Duck says: Seems to me that the OP is saying ‘Can’t we all just get along’ in a place designed specifically for others to flagellate him. Although I sympathize, you might want to follow Sponge Bob’s example and post in the Super Weenie channel. As for Elf… You are a big meanie. I’m thinking you should start your own ‘Nether Pit’ 🙂 ---

1.

First biological warfare was ya-all lobbing plague-rats into besiged castles. 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/who-stole-our-sense-of-humor-warning-parody/164562.md?page=1)
