I know this will shock no one, but a little basic homework also shows it's factually wrong as well...
A quick search reveals that, other than my retort to this bizarre rant earlier today, I have never used the phrase attributed to me on LawTalkers at the very least. So, even more than usual, I don't know what the fuck she's talking about.

But she certainly knows a lot about that Chandler Bing guy.

Well, after divining what I think she meant, she's partly correct (if she indeed wrote what I think she did)...
Anyone, no matter how toolish they are, can kill a word or phrase by deeming it, well, toolish. Paigow acts as a vocabularly filter, screening stale phrases/words from the board.
"Thanks for playing" was never a good phrase. It was always North Jersey. Like fingernails on a chalkboard.
I still dig whiff. I don't think it can be killed. Paigow is actually giving it a longer shelf life.
Something about this thread reminds me of David Foster wallace, so I'll take this opportunity to say he sucks.

I believe it would be impossible for you to say this if you had read his pieces about the Iowa (Illinois?) state fair and going on a cruise.

Not to go all old skool on your ass, Sebestian, but I seem to recall that Cornhole or Sprewell or one of those flounder dudes once shut down the game of some 1L who posted incessantly about tantric sex (Yo Old Skool BriGAde, what was his name, TantricSexGuy??) with the rejoinder, "Thanks for playin'"
Back in the Yahoo day that was some fresh flamin'! Word is (re)born!

I read that whole fucking book. Its got high points, but on the balance, it sucks.
It makes people who think they're clever think they're more clever. Wallace still hasn't figured out how obvious he is, but he'd probably tell you that's his whole shtick.

I think he has a pretty good idea what his schtick is. I didn't read the book to be seen reading it on the subway. I just thought it was funny. What's the last good book you read?

Why am I known for the form rant? Its my weakest goddamned material.
Its like crediting you for having a great moniker.
I am terribly, terrrrribly underappreciated. I'm almost as important as Paigow.

Don't worry about Ty Sebastian. You made a comment about a writer, and he tried to counter it by pointing to lesser known of his works. Ty just did it, because two weeks ago someone called bullshit* on his equating "George Orwell" to something, by pointing to lesser known of Orwell's books.
the whole genre is past it's best used by date.
*can I still say this? I like saying it!

Chuck Klosterman's latest - Sex Drugs and Cocoa Puffs, or something like that. Its kind of Wallace-esque in that its a smart ass take on modern culture, but Klosterman is funnier and less cerebral-for-being-cerebral's-sake.
I'm also digging through some biography of the Stones. It ain't bad, but its pompous. The guy's treating them like they're Beethoven.

The funniest thing about Orwell is most people consider Farm and 1984 his best. His best is actually a wrenching essay about watching a hanging in some colony. If you can find his essay, it probably makes the greatest case against capital punishment I've ever read, and I'm not even sure that's what he intended.
God, I hope that essay was Orwell, or I'll be outed as the literary dilletante I am.

His books include The Tetherballs of Bougainville, Et tu, Babe?, I Smell Esther Williams, My Cousin, My Gastroenterologist.
I've only read the last, and it wasn't my favorite, but a friend from law school adores him. The author you mentioned above sounded vaguely similar.
