A long expected snarking. Durpbo Adams' eleventy first thread
 
There will never be monthly threads. NEVER! We have spoken.

Also, FPB,

Also--fun new rule that I just now made up and may never enforce (or use again). The first 57 (including this one) posts may bitch about the title. The 58th onward it's verboten and you'll be boxed for an arbitry period.

Dribbling's of a drunken derper. Durpo Adams my assityass.

Fleetwood 29th December 2018 06:33 AM

Third! Second bitcher.

kayaker 29th December 2018 06:37 AM

Fourth forth with force.

iiandyiiii 29th December 2018 06:45 AM

Yay with the thread title, which I think I might have suggested (the eleventy-first part, anyway):

Bilbo Baggins called his 111st birthday his "eleventy-first", for anyone who didn't catch the reference.

The old shaggy sheep dog will box you.

I'll just leave this here.

This is post number 10. You have 47 more "Bitch about the thread title" posts available.

BE AWARE!

I loved that book.

babale 29th December 2018 07:32 AM

Since the whole Acey thing was a bust and the dope is a bit quiet lately, anyone got some good retrosnark to toss out?

Sputnik 29th December 2018 07:39 AM

Okay. On such short notice, I offer Shodan responding in a pit thread on UnbannedRedneck.



There are two kinds of heterosexual men - those that look at women's boobs, and those that lie about looking at women's boobs. Feminist men tend to fall into the second category.

Regards,
Shodan

this title is stupid

no monthly threads or i shall be very cross

:leafy:

NoClueBoy 29th December 2018 08:15 AM

Stupid title. I knew eleventyfirst would be used, just didn't realize how badly it would be done.

Jaglavak 29th December 2018 08:18 AM

What say we delve into the classics?

Wildest Bill, go fuck yourself

In post #6, Esprix offers up half a dozen examples of Bill's, shall we say, quirky views on life. And in post #25 Fenris wants to know if we know what he's saying, but I don't think even he knows.

Somewhere in the archives there's also a thread where Bill snivels about getting a speeding ticket, and then it comes out that he was street racing and he gets dragged over the coals by the offenderati. But damn if I can find it.

Mr. Plumbean 29th December 2018 08:20 AM

What do you have against monthly threads?

It's a Fenris title. Of course it's stupid.

expectopatronum 29th December 2018 08:32 AM

they're dumb and they go on too long

Borborygmi 29th December 2018 08:36 AM

We're still talking about the titles, right?

For the speeding one? Look for something about Mexican uppers. It turns out,He was taking some kind of speed/meth that he got from Mexico

Guinastasia 29th December 2018 08:39 AM

"Mexican fat burners". I think that's what they were called.

Fenris 29th December 2018 08:40 AM

Just found it:

http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/...5&pagenumber=1

and the follow-up Pit thread

https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb...ad.php?t=61561

The phrase to search for is "Mexican fat burners"

Guinastasia 29th December 2018 09:22 AM

Oh, yeah -- I forgot that he implied I slept with my professor in order to get rides to my next class. Charming individual.

Wolf Larsen 29th December 2018 09:43 AM

Even by Fenris' standards, this title is bad.

Slate 29th December 2018 09:49 AM

What does it mean?

The Hobbit begins with a reference to Bilbo Baggins "Eleventy-first" (111st) birthday. The alternate title to the book is "An Unexpected Journey." Put those through a Fenris and you get this crap.

Slate 29th December 2018 10:11 AM

And Adams?

Mr. Plumbean 29th December 2018 10:17 AM

Cecil I guess. Remember, it's Fenris.

Fenris 29th December 2018 10:19 AM

This is post #30. You have 27 more posts to bitch about the title.

Fenris 29th December 2018 10:20 AM

Also, READ MY RETROSNARK AND ACKNOWLEDGE IT!!!!

SmartAleq 29th December 2018 11:20 AM

You're just double posting trying to use up your arbitrary limit of posts bitching about your Fenrised up title. Your posts shouldn't count towards the total, dude. :harumph:

Fenris 29th December 2018 11:28 AM

And yet...

Fenris 29th December 2018 11:28 AM

...they DO count. Nyahh-nyaah :D

Fenris 29th December 2018 11:29 AM

Also, 57 has great numerological significance. It's hardly arbitrary :harumph:

Beckdawrek 29th December 2018 11:33 AM

I read your retro-snark. It was nice.

Mr. Plumbean 29th December 2018 11:35 AM

When I read those old snark threads and realize how little has changed in SEVENTEEN GODDAMNED YEARS I just get too sad to snark.

Can we start a new thread to just complain about the shitty snark titles? I'm not sure 57 posts is enough.

I'm anxiously awaiting post 56 so I can get the magic post for my title complaint. Pad the post-count some more...

YOU may have one (1) free post wherein you can "whine about the thread title" after post 57 because you liked my retrosnark and followed instructions.

:hug:

Everyone else? This won't work again. Beck is the only winner of the Non-Transferrable 58 and beyond thread title snark coupon.

Fenris 29th December 2018 11:47 AM

Also, with this post, (#40), you only have 17 more where you're allowed to bitch about the title without CONSEQUENCES.

No:violence:

Pure 29th December 2018 11:53 AM

That’s a title alright.

Mr. Plumbean 29th December 2018 11:55 AM

I'll just park this here then keep editing to add comments about the title.

Emiliana Z 29th December 2018 11:57 AM

I never get the titles.

This is not a complaint so it doesn't count towards the 57 posts.

Emiliana Z 29th December 2018 12:00 PM

The numerology number 57 resonates with creative expression.

It tends to assert its sense of personal freedom into its creativity. The result can be unexpectedly creative communication and artistic works.

57 tends to be both an extrovert and an introvert, both talkative and introspective, both consulting with others and looking inward for answers.

The title...

Slate 29th December 2018 12:06 PM

is really...

Slate 29th December 2018 12:06 PM
