Oh come on, aren't you always extolling the fact that you can impassively look at your own foibles? You have contributed to a board catch-phrase, one that shall live on long after you have gone! You should be proud...
Anyway, if there were any way to link directly to posts, I would do so, but if there is such a thing, I haven't uncovered the way to do it. But to get to the point, I was laboring under the delusion that I was the first to point out the ridiculosity of SD's "argument", but I was wro-hong (sung in Patsy Cline voice). Several people beat me to the punch (although, I think while I was busy posting a long-winded answer, these other pretenders stole my thunder.
The following are ripostes (in chronological order) to SD's effort at persuasive reasoning:
IN FIRST PLACE: our fearless leader, leagl (

Leagl's contribution was the timeless:
Oh bitch, please.
IN SECOND PLACE: Greedy-cubed (

(Relatively high pith-score on this one: )
As a general rule, this line only precedes total and absolute BS. Come on, dude, we need higher quality BS from you.
Pathetically in third place : uh, me
I'm not going to repost, since it's not all that clever (but it's
Post #15874 if you don't believe me) -- unlike the fourth-place finisher.....
In the tradition of better late than never, the
GRAND PRIZE WINNER, our very own... TYRONE SLOTHROP!!! (
Post #15900) It may have been later, but gets my vote for funniest (and pithiest! My love of pith is well-documented, I think we can all agree...):
Highlights include:
I have to admit that I was prepared to disagree with your post, just like I have your other posts on this subject, but then you won me over with this rhetorical tour de force! "Everyone who's posted on this topic knows I'm mainly correct." Brilliant! I must concur. In fact, I think I'll use this trick in my next brief. It'll start, "Bitch, please. Everyone who's argued in this court knows I'm mainly correct. Et cetera . . . ."
(This has taken up about 1/2 of my day.... I have such a rich and rewarding career.)
Edited to provide helpful links to the posts; thanks to Tyrone's kind tutorial, and then to remove the unintended smiley resulting from using [colon][close paren] without a space -- smiley-haters, be warned!
