The Mother of All Threads

Good stuff. I’ve actually seen that one before. Why’d they close it? I’m still working on my Ring Lardner version, You Know Me, Bil.

I am sitting on my hands to keep myself from tearing you to shreds in my own thread, but let me say this: You are stupid, petty, attention whoring motherfucker.

Ah yes, the lovely, and eloquent, predictable ilsa (who is a guy) offers another gentle rebuke. By all means get off your hands and tear me to shreads. Why don’t you pit me several times in one day like you did to aldeberan?

And what is it with you anyway? Half of the posts you make contain wrong facts, half of the other half are apologies for the “gentle teasing” that you’ve made in the other half of the other half. You’re just weird, dude.

I think he wants to be handy’s successor.

Oh crikey! I thought that, at last, I had succeeded in being pitted. I do so want to be among the pitted.

Does askeptic do me the honor of a decent pitting? Alas, no. Just some lame-ass blather about how many views a particular thread has gathered. No personal insults, no inovative demeaning comments. Basically, nothing!

Ah, well. Off to sleep, perchance to dream of the day when I’ve earned a proper pitting from an experienced Dr. of Pitology.

To those of you who said you enjoyed the thread: Thank you. The strange sequence of events driving the thread were, to use a local phrase: “More than passin’ curious”.

@askeptic

He expressed himself well but not well enough to justify your righteous defense claiming that he is a great writer and because he is such a good writer thats why over 16000 fuckin people have viewed it.

That number can also mean that one person viewed it 16000 times, you know.

Hello Best Buy? It’s Haj again. Do you have any irony meters in stock? Mine just exploded.

Oh, I showed it to TubaDiva back when it was only a page or so long. She agreed that it was hilarious, but not really…appropriate…for Threadspotting. I have to admit that probably a hundred or so of those views are probably mine. The subject matter, along with the way it’s told, is fascinating, though I am perturbed at the most recent turn of events (shooting the cat). Honey is wise to decline his suit.

I’m gonna lock this, as per the OP’s request.
