Actually, I like this part as an LRPD, too
Battling Marlowe is like wiping off puppy slobber. jb4

Disagree...
The general background level of cynicism and bitterness is increasing noticably here.
I think that it would be a mistake to start using LRPD as another means of picking on individual members. A good natured tease about a particular incident is one thing. A automatically recurring insult to a member is very different.
It would detract from the LRPD im my opinion.

Re: Disagree...
Agree with what you said, but don't blame the others - my bitterness and cynicism is exponentiating, but I think it's more or less the same for everyone else.

split the difference
Typically these mild insults are redacted before the glowing dot is applied, so you'd end up with something like "Battling him is like wiping off puppy slobber." Now, regarding the initial suggestion—"Battling CRC is the honor of Viking combat"—this would lose all flavor without the personal identifier, but with the identifier it's deficient in sense. One does not do battle with CRC; one is wheeled into the burn ward whispering reverently "I have been charred by the Mighty One!"

Naah.. he's a pussy cat
When CR occasionally fucks up some factoid, he's usually first to cop, with nary a snivel-let. (Apparently it Really Does Take) a German-Finn to stand for
Truth, Justice n' the Murican Way
..given the early retirement of the Nintendo generation and most of the rest.
Hmmm CRC-as-Lafayette for redeeming the New Murican Century? cha cha cha
Dunno though - a stachoo with that visage on it..?
The question seldom addressed is *where* Medusa had snakes. Underarm hair
is an even more embarassing problem when it keeps biting the top of the
deodorant bottle.

My policy:
I don't use LRPDisms that are:
1) intentionally nasty to someone (there are some good-natured joke ones, however),
2) refer to political subjects (apart from a few funny quotes),
3) refer to religious subjects,
4) have extremely foul language in them.
Overly PC? Maybe. But them's the guidelines.

So if a language is foreign enough, it ain't a foul...? :-)
I gotta admit (can't recall if I mentioned it at the time) -- "vittu", while a rather common (albeit also very coarse) expletive in Finnish, is actually literally a derogatory name for the female genitals: "cunt".
So a fairly literal translation of that phrase would be, "Haven't we had enough of this cunty job for today?".
Sorry if I've fooled you to unwittingly break your own guidelines... But, hey, nobody fucking knows what it means, so what's the harm?
Well, nobody *did*, before this post, anyway...
