I created the VS thread and it has spawned.

VS

Before there was no VS thread and therefore no spawn

Do you all hate me for starting all this VS...FIGHT buisness?

I'm tired of them, but they aren't any skin off my back.

Can anyone explain to me why this phrase became so common without the negative?

I will find someone who knows where you sleep and maybe we can kill it with fire.

The VS threads are the worst things to hit the forum since . . . well, I can't remember anything this bad.

Beacuse I could care less. I could care more too. If I couldn't care less, than I couldn't care less, but I COULD care less, ergo, I could care less.

Some of them are pretty interesting. I guess I could take them or leave them.

I never read the VS threads or post in them. Like all vaguely annoying trends/memes, they will die of natural causes soon enough.

I thought it was mostly funny until I realized that he is eating a foot long corndog.

For the same reason people say have your cake and eat it too, instead of the proper way.

I hate it when people say, "you've made your bed, now it's time to wake up and smell the roses."

I seriously had that said to me once by an irate submarine captain. Nobody in the room at the time even cracked a smile, but 14 years later I am still entertained by it.

Fair enough. At least in that case the resultant phrase isn't complete nonsense, despite being the opposite of of the intended.

I like them but after my European People's car series I am probably done. I don't like the off topic ones though.

I suggest that they are equally nonsensical.

I like um. But still waiting for a series of them where the euro Capri beats all comers.

As I attempted to state in a non-direct way earlier. It was exactly as intended. Here, I'll spell out my thoughts on the versus thread for you to fully understand the prior statement. I don't care for them, I don't hate them. I'm rather indifferent. Therefore [meh] I could care less.

Don't look at me, I could care less.

In reply to Zomby Woof:

So you're indifferent? So you'll hear me out?

EDIT: you can hear me out tomorrow. im a pumpkin.

Vs threads are annoying, but less so than political arguments. Maybe we should all STFU and go back to the garage.

Well, My feelings are kind of hurt. I thought I'd ruined your life with my visually offensive comics...

Submarine captains are really just like that... and of course when they are irate, oh boy!
