You got a new love interest or something, **Drunky**?

Just remember, cheese that lacks casein is useless for neutralizing capsaicin-induced symptoms.

Bolding mine. You don’t get to commit armed robbery just because you’re retrieving your own possessions.

Off-topic tangent - And you don’t get to consider them your possessions if they’re not in your legal possession anymore; these were items OJ lost b/c their storage fees went unpaid. That sucks, to be sure, but the place to handle that is the courts and not by taking the law into your own hands.  
But OJ has a history of taking the law into his own hands when he feels he’s been wronged, doesn’t he?

And even if you’re not carrying the weapon yourself, you’re as equally guilty of armed robbery as the ones who do have guns.

There are no fucking words to describe the man’s cluelessness.

All he was thinking was if he could get his stuff back, he would make a killing.

And to show what he means by “athletic shorts” he links to a pair of khaki shorts.

He even mentions his imaginary wife and daughters in that thread. No mention of who dressed his [son](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=13927250&postcount=3), who seemingly disappeared when **acey** no longer had any reason to keep him alive to bolster his dumbass arguments.

Evidently the cargo shorts I wear all summer are “athletic.” Who knew? I feel like such a fraud now, wearing athletic shorts for boring stuff like trips to Kroger.

My theory is that Acey forced his son to wear shorts. Acey Jr., mortified at having his bare legs exposed in public, was sucked into a black hole of embarrassment and was never seen again.

Just kidding. Acey invented the son and forgot about him later when he decided it would be cool to invent two daughters.

The [stupidity](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=20369893#post20369893) got too much for me, and I unwisely responded. First he hypothesized that the Germans let the British escape Dunkirk as part of some brilliant strategy to focus on the war instead of the opposing army. Then he wondered if there were any estimates of POWs from the battle, never mind that estimate was given less than 10 posts above his and is available in _any freakin’ description of the battle anywhere_.

(Thanks, Chronos, for just a note.)

“The Dunkirk evacuation made a significant difference.”

I don’t know why, but I find his endless platitudes and banalities to be more annoying than his skeevy posts about porn and locker rooms.
