Well, seawitch, I saw some muffin tins on eBay that might be the proper shape. Or perhaps you’d want the gelatin/ice cube trays for your fuckdrops. At any rate, both the tins and molds were of a humorous anatomical shape.

Oh, and Sam the 1, I WILL be looking into your posting history later.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait…

Wait.

I need clarification just because I find something about the third E-mail that Cutesy Flufflefrump (which IS 'Beer’s true name) posted…

So lemme get this straight. That jackassed dumbfuckingshit sends an E-mail, gets a response, and then complains because he got a response? “How dare you respond to my whining”?

Man, some people are dumber than donkey shit… and twice as smelly.

Damn you, **Gazoo**! I read that just as my Mom called on the phone, so she had to sit there and listen to me try to gain my composure after laughing hysterically for 5 minutes!

Then there was the invariable question, “Honey, what were you laughing about?”  
:eek:  
“Uhmmmm…nothing, Mom. Nothing at all…”

With all the uglyness on this thread you want to investigate that guy? Better hurry. With mods as seemy as this, moving things into the pit to encourge people that I would cross the street to avoid overhearing, I’m betting he’s not coming back. Way to make friends. Hepe you get pounds of fuckdrops and the other dandy presents in your Easter basket. :wally

Sam the 1 is so put off by our seaminess that he won’t return? I’ll bronze a rat’s ass and mail it to you.

If Escanaba and isopropyl aren’t the same person then they must have adjacent seats at the Quilting Club. Their sensibilities are far too easily wounded for a forum such as the Pit. Actually, the ascerbic nature of this entire website and the column in is devoted to might be too much for her/them to handle.

“Precious Moments” has their own website, you know. Why don’t you visit them and leave us hooligans, rapscallions and ne’er-do-wells alone?

Well, thank you. Though I must admit that I’m a bit confused by the phrase “Mod/Admin action”. Is that anything like “girl/girl action”?

I hope not, otherwise people will start pairing me up with David B.

Oh, god… I read this at 1/4 to 4 in the morning, with someone sleeping in the next room… It was a struggle to keep my laughter to a level that wouldn’t wake them…

Damn…
