Ask the dumbass who has absolutely no chance of keeping up with all the questions nor giving any useful or interesting answers.

Maybe now would be a good time to ask: If the dream police were after you, what would they be after you for?

Have you always been a dumbass? If not, would you mind telling us about the moment you realized you were a dumbass?

I believe that he (or it, or whatever) does, yes.

Oh, wait, I don’t believe in God at all.

Nevermind.

Fuck, yes. Or no, maybe. I’m not sure.

What is this American Idol of which you speak?

Dream police? Should I be worried?

I wouldn’t have put it quite that strongly myself, though this thread wasn’t the best idea either. It doesn’t contain a joke, a rant or even enough information for a vanity self-Pitting. At best it’s a Seinfeld thread, i.e. about absolutely nothing.

Nah. Locked.
