I would like to provide the following interpretation of Majid's red arrows:
If the third bolt blows, Lady Sport will head butt the most well behaved crag dog EVER.

well if this was a real situation, seems like someone needs to learn how to place bolts where you don't need a stick clip, or hanging on bolts...

You don't need a stick clip if you can climb the moves!

Oh, I get it now. It's the FA's fault that you can't do the moves. Thank you for explaining, b/c all along I thought the fault was with me.
And yeah, it's a joke that is funny b/c I have seen pretty much all of the described behaviors.

That water tip is definitely a joke! A pint of water weighs about a pound - I did not spend $150 on a full set of six draws to save a 1/4 lb, only to weigh my body down with a pound (or more!) of water. Yellow urine is fine, you can always keep a bottle of gatorade in the car for the ride home.

Sticky pads are no joke. On certain routes they turn marginal knee bars into solid stances.

You're honestly annoyed by the very sight of a belay device? Dog food? Get help, man.
There is no cheating in climbing. You can stick clip every bolt, yard on gear, use your knees (with or without the recommended pads), etc. Hell, you can even use a blue hold when you're climbing the green route. It's all a question of style, and the only offense is misrepresenting how you do something.

Given that your profile indicates that your lead limit is 5.10a, I don't really think you are in a position to call anyone else a pussy.

Thread evolution....
Look at how the OP's question was answered (tone, not volume) PRIOR to JT's post that no, its not a joke.
Then look at the subsequent reassurances that in fact, no it is not a joke, like a dam broke or something.
(of course! of course I knew it all along! )
BTW, you should see what trad climbers do with those reinvented sportkneepads!

I thought it was funny that she was in direct and still feels complled to have a knee bar. No to mention being on the agressive belay stylings of talky McTalkerson. I mean if the bolt goes shes gonna deck and kill Fido.

OWNED!
but in all seriousness, stick clips come in handy sometimes, like if the landing is on sharp boulders and any falling would result in serious injury. I have a grigri but rarely use that shit. mostly for aiding. oh and dogs are annoying if they are barking and shit.
