I hate it when I post a real zinger in a thread that's subsequently locked.

[Orrex]

Hate it not for my own sake, but because I can't stand knowing that you won't have the chance to respond to my dazzling wit.

9. Calling someone a "Poopy-headed cretin with mediocre judgment" hardly qualifies as dazzling wit.

You befuddled clodpate!

10. I have a real zinger of a reply to this, ...

... but it would probably get this thread locked.

And then DU would implode under the force of meta.

[Nay]

11. It's truly a grave injustice to you, Orrex, no doubt about it!

[Orrex]

12. I know!

Of course I recognize it as a deliberate attack on me in every case.

[irisblue]

13. so post the zinger w/o the locked context....

I could use an intellectual challenge today.

[Orrex]

14. LOL. Well, you asked...

But I'll warn you: you may be incapacitated by raucous laughter for the next few hours:

Zinger.
(it loses something with the OP removed, but OTOH it gains an air of mystery)

[FSogol]
