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

The one person that did go there was Slimy Sal Cordova. I would like to think we 'Pitters are better than that. Well, she's been an adult for many years now, so it's not like I'm bringing someone's underage kid into it. Is that why the topic's off limits, because she's his kid? I don't get it. That...

I'm fucking dying laughing at that new logo though. They are really shit at design. That's because being a PC SJW sucks all of the creativity out of you.

Just a minute. At least one of the cunts and bitches here in the Pit is a nigger. I myself am a greymeat honky - though not, I believe, a cracker, since I'm Yurpean. I'll bet we've got a kike or two as well. We need some chinks, gooks and dinks I'll give her that. Half-Jap here. Maybe we can get a ...

Oooo!
