GOP: Bringing back the Guilded age (doesn’t that sound nice?) GOP: We don’t believe in evolution of species or ideas GOP: Nice economy you got there, would be a shame if anything were to happen to it. Better give us what we want. ---

GOP: We love America so much, we’ll blow up the economy if we don’t get our way! GOP: We’re not anti-black, we just want to keep them from voting! GOP: We’re not bigots, we’re just against equal rights for gays! GOP: Replace Medicare with vouchers, because having to argue with insurance companies will give lonely old people someone to talk to! ETA: GOP: Dems are the _real_ elitists! We’re against the minimum wage because we’re more in touch with working people. ---

> [@sylmar](#): > > WAH! WAH! You’re only allowed to ridicule my posts **ONCE**! Am I “allowed” to do it only once? Or do I understand that is is impolite to others to have them see two, three or four posts when one will do? God, you’re truly an imbecile. And how in the world do you conclude that I’m not “allowed” to be as dumb and inconsiderate as you are? True, it would take some effort to stoop so low, but I could probably get there, kinda like Billy Bob Thorton playing the challenged guy in Sylmarblade, or Hoffman playing Rainman. Though in trying to mimic you I wouldn’t have to concern myself with the latter part of idiot savant. > [@sylmar](#): > > Dear Cunt Lips- U R a mo ran… Ooohhhhhh, the middle school version of “poopey-head”. Devastating. I’m crushed. :rolleyes: As I said before, you’re not good at this. Maybe try stuffing envelopes or one of those other ideas that would fit your limitations. I’d say try harder, but I can see you’ve already been pushed to sputtering. And with your limitations, that begins to move things from the merely inane to the unintelligible. > [@sylmar](#): > > No, I’m not in prison Mags, so we probably won’t run into each other… We’ ve already established that I am not in prison, so why you go there is odd. And you seem to think that my link was to imply you were in prison. Sigh. Your stupidity is thick. But I’ll try to walk you through this. The video of the guy in prison is not really in prison. He is an actor. For reals! His name is Damon Wayans. You could look it up!! So, if you wanted to disassociate yourself from that person (who is playing a _character_) you should have said something like “I’m not Damon Wayans—hell, I’m not even an actor, black.” That would have tracked logically, unlike the nonsensical sputtering you spew out for the world to see. I don’t think it’s asking too much that you either spend your time with those T-ball and lanyard-making videos or try harder. Much harder. Perhaps there is a bright 4th grader you can contract when you feel the need to craft one of your devastating insults. ^ Look up. You see three of your quotes with my responses to each—all in one (1) post. Amazing, huh? ---

Well… _Someone’s_ Mr. Cranky Pants. Are your cell mates ignoring you like I try to Maggie? Or did the gerbil zig when it should have zagged? Don’t worry Mags, I have the perfect alternaverse that will have all of them rallying around you in no time. GOP: Old, scared, cranky fucktards need love too! Lemme know how that works out for ya Skippy. 😉 ---

And just because it’s so much fun trolling a troll, here’s me dropping # 2 on you- GOP: The Geritol and Preparation H lobby Of course, one would assuuuuume Prep H would make you disappear, which would be crushing for me Magpie. Where would my inspiration come from if not from the pain and suffering of your wretched life with cell mates that are starting to ignore you and a gerbil that can’t find your magic spot? ---

> [@magellan01](#): > > We’ ve already established that I am not in prison, so why you go there is odd. > > ? Why? Because it’s HILARIOUS imagining a prudish old homophobe like you bunking with Bubba and DeWayne. That and it annoys you. Why? Should I be considerate of someone who’s here for the sole purpose of trolling? My profuse apologies Madame. I was unaware that was one of the requirements for formal board ettiquette. Kindly remove that bunched up mass of panty material from that Grand Canyon crack you call your pie hole at your earliest convenience. Oh, and GOP: Yes, we’ve had our panties in a bunch ever since that Kenyan was elected.. ---
