Bitob just posted on that
thread, which will give me some cover. I just want it there long enough to be seen by the Whiny One.

Well, first, about the Kasbah or Casbah, that's probably some kind of generic word in North Africa. I suspect that the song by The Clash is in reference to the Casbah in Algeria. It was made popular in the movies, first in a French production Pépé le Moko, and later in an American remake called Algiers.
Pépé le Moko was the inspiration for Pepe Le Pew, the cartoon skunk.
Second, speaking of skunks, I think it stinks that so many good posts have been removed lately, including my dear Sweetpea's. I think there are only one or two whiners that precipitate their removal. I don't care that it's the board's right to do this, it still stinks, and I've had enough.

Thanks for noticing, cruisr.

How ironic that someone from a city named Chevy Chase doesn't appreciate sophomoric humor!
It was probably removed - I don't always know - I just save some posts on my site in anticipation that they may be removed.
Of course, I didn't know you that well then (and now), but I thought you might enjoy that snippet now.

Let's up the ante a little bit. What follows is from August 17, 2017, and was removed from the Regent Forum. The reference of Thorax Critic was about a person, who no longer posts there, but once that forum's whiny one.
The Grasshopper and the Slug
Once there was a spry young grasshopper. He was a very good and hard worker, and thought to himself, "I deserve a vacation!" So the Grasshopper went to his friend the Earwig, who was a travel agent, and the Earwig recommended a luxury cruise.
Once there was a grumpy old slug. He professed himself a connoisseur for all things luxury. "Oh, bother," thought the Slug. "It is time for me prove my mettle by taking yet another cruise."
Three weeks passed, and by chance, the Grasshopper and the Slug meet on Thorax Critic, a message board.
"I just returned from a cruise," wrote the Grasshopper. "Everything was wonderful and even the larvae was free."
"I also just returned from a cruise," the Slug responded. "Everything was awful, and the included larvae was poorly presented."
"What cruise line did you sail?" the two wrote simultaneously.
"Beegent," they both replied.
