Derail into ad hominem attack on current administration. Course correcting statement to compensate for derail. Some time ago this user observed application of generic statements under ideal conditions. Said observation led to a great deal of emotion. Due to these emotions, many people interacted.

Statement of opinion as fact. Complex, multi-paragraph statement of thesis (relying on evidence which previous posters in the thread have definitively proven false,) posted in apparent ignorance of all prior discussion on the topic. Quote pulled from a comment which was posted six hours ago, excerpted out of context to place the original idea in the worst possible light. Straw-man response to mischaracterization of earlier argument. continuation of quote from same previous comment, containing inconsequential speling error Rebuttal of comment, relying on restatement of opinion as fact. Suggestion that earlier commenter's inability to spell implies ignorance of the topic at hand. Quote from a completely different comment upthread, posted by another user Rebuttal of comment which fails to differentiate between the two users quoted, which begins with the phrase "with all due respect," and which is phrased in such a way as to convey an absolute lack of respect. Stray sentence fragment apparently missed during preview of Multi-paragraph, expletive-laden restatement of original thesis. Link to vaguely related news story written by an obviously biased news source. Citation of hastily-googled survey statistics in support of thesis. Link to White House press gaggle transcript. Assertion that all those who disagree with thesis are trolling. Demand that all readers immediately contact their congressperson in support of thesis. Assertion that right-thinking Americans will take to the streets regarding the issue, any day now. Use of bold type to emphasize restatement of opinion as fact. Statement of intention to stockpile food and/or purchase firearm. Humorous aside in small type.

Heart-wrenching admission of traumatic and emotionally-scarring life-experience, which has, however, imbued some strength whilst leaving its mark, that is only tangentally on-topic, is unhelpful in moving the discussion forward, but which is a necessary personal act from a heart which is crying within and craving witness.

long winded confessional and anecdotal post which inspires half of the ensuing posters to suggest that i should get my own blog when i already have one and people quit reading it eons ago because life is short and art is long but jackie gleason was shorter, which reminds me of something i've always wondered about - why do hot dogs come in packages of 10 when hot dog buns come in packages of 8? considers conspiracy as reason for this, realizes that a good part of the people reading this are probably part of the conspiracy, looks up at sky for chemtrails, inspects local skyscrapers for signs of installed explosives, buys bars of gold to bury under fallout shelter, busily starts making a lifetime supply of tin foil hats only to realize upon making the 143rd that i bought aluminum foil instead and it just won't work, resolves to tell everyone on metafilter exactly what the voices the foil was supposed to stop have been telling him to do, gets drunk on old overholt and mad dog 20/20, spew vomit on screeen and thinks it's a distinct improvement, wakes up in morning claiming it was all a nightmare caused by net.persecution and stalking and makes new resolution to tell everyone the TRUTH about subliminal advertising, wonders on way to that big castle on the third hill if the nice young men in those big white coats will let him have computer access in the rubber room, reflects that it's all dick cheney's fault anyway, hatches plot to train birds to fight back and is never heard from again from anyone except the orderlies

Rereads every single comment to check accuracy and continuity of presented information in discussions. Begins life-long study of thread, creating charts and graphs, and scientific facts by connecting topics, word counts, post location, time of day and user info to prove some powerful deep seeded, holy grail of secrets, never unveiled before this point that changes life as we know it. Also replicates original first read chuckles, laughter and sorrow where appropriate. Gets hungry and consumes handfuls of goldfish crackers. Leaves laboratory and races home in time for Simpsons.

Smells some small amount of panic residue somewhere over near the corner by the kitchen cabinet, but then realizes it could also easily just be that ham sandwich that fell behind the fridge last year.

Panic ensues thinking that the smell of panic really does smell like one year old ham sandwiches.

Heads toward the deli to warn others.

At the deli: Hey comment-person 387, are you eating ham or turkey?

By: Sir BoBoMonkey Pooflinger Esquire III

Sir BoBoMonkey Pooflinger Esquire III — Sat, 06 May 2006 04:25:26 -0800

G-387: That would be turkey, with swiss. Why?

Sir BoBoMonkey Pooflinger Esquire III — Sat, 06 May 2006 04:25:57 -0800

Blue 849: I'm just trying to understand where that smell came from? Is it ham, or is it the ensuing panic?

By: Sir BoBoMonkey Pooflinger Esquire III

Sir BoBoMonkey Pooflinger Esquire III — Sat, 06 May 2006 04:26:20 -0800

G-387: Don't know what you're talking about.

Sir BoBoMonkey Pooflinger Esquire III — Sat, 06 May 2006 04:27:01 -0800

B-849: You know, ...early death, that smell specific to death of the young. Sad, decaying ham kinda smell?

By: Sir BoBoMonkey Pooflinger Esquire III

Sir BoBoMonkey Pooflinger Esquire III — Sat, 06 May 2006 04:27:45 -0800

G-387: Again, really don't know where you're coming from.

By: Sir BoBoMonkey Pooflinger Esquire III

Sir BoBoMonkey Pooflinger Esquire III — Sat, 06 May 2006 04:28:06 -0800

B-849: Just consider yourself warned. Death is in the air and it smells lke one year old ham sandwiches trapped behind refrigerators.

By: Sir BoBoMonkey Pooflinger Esquire III

Sir BoBoMonkey Pooflinger Esquire III — Sat, 06 May 2006 04:28:35 -0800

G-387: Oh, I get it now, you must be from the blue. You've mistaken me for someone else. I'm from the green and we're still going strong. We're about to pass 1100 comments. And we're original. We are the originators of you. That is why you smell like one year old ham sandwiches. It is the smell of decaying redundancy.

Sir BoBoMonkey Pooflinger Esquire III — Sat, 06 May 2006 04:28:56 -0800

B-849: (blinking in disbelief) You guys are really up past 1000?

By: Sir BoBoMonkey Pooflinger Esquire III

Sir BoBoMonkey Pooflinger Esquire III — Sat, 06 May 2006 04:29:14 -0800

G-1090: Sorry, sir, you're going to have to leave. We don't serve your type in here.

Sir BoBoMonkey Pooflinger Esquire III — Sat, 06 May 2006 04:34:10 -0800

B-849/857: Oh, you must be talking about B-849. He left a few minutes ago. He was loopy in the head. He couldn't even stay on topic. I'm B-857 and I use deoderant!...
