[QUOTE=Aeschines] Chill, Z Man (extreme bonus points if you can name the movie). [/quote] I can’t, sorry. Which movie is it from? > [@](#): > > Only _one?_ Ah hah hah hah hah hah hah! I know, it’s pretty funny. Why someone with access to pretty much any number would pretend to be just one level above everyone is amusing. But hey, I checked the inflate-o-meter, and that’s what it said (Correct to two sig. fig.). On preview; I’m going to guess… 5 sockpuppets before he gets bored. Any bets? ( **Aeschines** , not that i’m pushing you in any way, but if you could manage 5 i’ll split the money with you). ---

[QUOTE=Revenant Threshold] I know, it’s pretty funny. Why someone with access to pretty much any number would pretend to be just one level above everyone is amusing.

“Fan a banning.” I like that. Fan away, fellows. Fan away. If he doesn’t care about being banned, maybe he’ll entertain us with a good flame-out. ---

I keep thinking about **Aeschines** ’s prediction for the world to end on March 26 (the world of the SDMB, that is), and I can’t help wondering if he may have become an adherent of Bokononism. Also, I thought the “Yum yum, moo moo” nonsense was merely the sound of a troll being fed. ---

[QUOTE=Aeschines] You poor pussies simply can’t handle a little FUCK YOU rebellion. [/QUOTE] Rebellion? That’s pretty fucking funny. Ooooh. Beware of the “yum yum moo moo” rebellion. :rolleyes: At least The Grapist turned posts purple. Let me say that’s some fine ego calling what you are doing a rebellion. That’s right man. Fight the power. Stick it to the mods. Type some gibberish. That’s show 'em. You stick up for the poor oppressed…um…somethings that are being held back on an internet message board. What’s your next rebellion? Making farty noises at the McClerk who doesn’t get your fries fast enough? ---
