The damn script thanks me every time I post but it’s a machine. I t can’t feel gratitude. Dammit. Bastardadd.

And mostp opele don’t care if I post so it’s not thanking b y proxy. AAHEHEH bastard.

I wish concrete was still around. He was a funny Mofo.

Jack Batty is damn funny, so is jb\_farley. There’s some other funny ass motherfuckers around now, but no one’s as good and off the wall and offensive as concrete.

Why does the script thank you? Because it loves you, Homer.

Actually, the script frequently rejects me… It says, “It’s not your post, it’s me” or “I’m leaving you for another poster” or “you post just like my brother.”

And sometimes it just mumbles, “404 Error” or some gibberish like that and ignores me.

If you like Concrete, why not just copy one of his leads. Not boost the thread, but re-run the ideas. Maybe some have some tread left on them.

The script thanks you because it was a well brought up script. It’s mommy and daddy taught it manners.

:eek:

Imagine my shock.

That’s all I can respond to the OP, considering the rest of was pretty incoherent.

Let me know when it’s my round, Homer.

Okay, I learned this in high school, when you’re drinking, make sure there are no photographs or videos or audio recordings made. (Apparently also make sure you have no access to the Internet.) 😃

I wondered the very same thing back in [December](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=17213), Homer.

How’s the hangover?
