If thou gazest long into the Pit, the Pit will also gaze into thee

I was under the impression that back in the day, Karen and Ben dated. If true, that adds background to this whole mess. I'm curious now. What gave you the impressive?

I was under the impression that back in the day, Karen and Ben dated. If true, that adds background to this whole mess. I heard about this months ago. So the FTB crowd did as well. It is no surprise they knew it was Ben. Don't assume they knew it was Ben because "Ben just does this all the time." Th...

I visit the pit a bit, but can't keep up with all the posts. People are just so busy hating on women and stuff here, that it is hard to read it all.

So, it looks like the pit won't last (according to EBW) and was only started because people kept using the word "Cunt" a lot and got banned off of the good blogging sites.
