    (The original phrases thread was shockingly locked after the "jacks")

    Being a listener to the Jim Rome show for about a decade now, I've been hearing his listeners laud every take with "Rome, there is now Dr Pepper all over my computer screen/radio/windshield. Stop it!"

    Seems that epidemic has found its way here. "You're so funny, I just spit my drink all over my screen!!!" Interesting. Maybe you should think about wearing a bib.

    Take a drink. Before you click on a thread, swallow (fun with quotes, yadda yadda). Then open the thread, and you'll avoid the mess.

    This Public Service Announcement was brought to you by the letter "X."

    Rant over.

    People who admit to listening to Jim Rome for a decade should not be dictating etiquette.

    It's sort-of cavemanish to think one can control his/her laughing/spitting reflex.

    Etiquette, nothing.

    More like, "No one cares if you spit all over your screen, and it's likely you didn't anyway, so STFU."

    Unless you support the idea of a popular Rome show phrase (popular elsewhere, yes, but all-too-common on his show) making its way here . . . . . .

    And, three_bags: only cavemen cannot control themselves.
