b1tr0t needs a time-out. Telling someone who was seeking psychological counseling but didn't want to tell their parents to use adultfriendfinder.com instead was ... well, I'd like to think the green has just slightly higher standards.

Let me know when it's my turn to be the time-out shot-caller.

Obviously you overestimated the standards of metafilter, or do we need to club you with the body of a armed 5-year old (assume no element of surprise as you dispose of the corpse)?

The green seems to be full of shit today. Why are gays so flamboyant? In response to a question about loans, "Just dump it into a spreadsheet and figure it out?" WTF is wrong with people today?

And b1tr0t's recent history shows a pattern of crap answers (but only his really recent history). Perhaps he's crabby.

the flamboyant gay question
Seemed like a pretty dull, straight question to me.

I was having the same feeling as SpecialK today, actually. b1tr0t, you've been a grouch lately and I wish you'd keep your snark out of AskMe where it's inappropriate and wastes everyone's time.

Astes is like when you get your balls up somebody's ass, right?

Damnit, Jessadmin, you ruined a perfectly good typo-as-tagline joke! Danged admins and their fancy schmancy editing powers.

It's a fair question, with a bunch of good answers. Glad it's still there, and I'm hoping for some more insight.

Since this is a callout about b1tr0t, it's the perfect opportunity for me to say that whenever I see b1tr0t's nickname, my mind wants to read it as "beet root"... How does one pronounce his name? Or, is it unpronounceable? Or, maybe it's some technical jargon that I'm unaware of and I'll really be embarrassed... Okay, don't tell me, I'm over it.

I always thought "b1tr0t" was a cryptography geek's zen koan, ie Rot26 vs. bit rot (which would just invert the binary values of a variable).
b1tr0t is probably smart enough for it to be both meanings simultaneously, though.

I dunno, when my dog ate a natural bone and it impacted in her intestines, she sure had the trots until she finally passed it.

If she'd eaten beetroot she'd have had a nice healthy poo plus it would have been an interesting colour which would have made it stand out in the backyard so you could have admired it whilst you were scooping it away, giving you something interesting to talk about with your neighbours.
Assuming you're all talking about dog poo and not people's nicknames, which I guess you were, in which case I'm just being a dick.
