> [@roger thornhill](#): > > Oi, not so fast, **murk**! I may only have heard of two of her favorite artists (Britney Spears and Tatu - the Russian lesbian designer duo if I recall correctly), and I am most certainly “stupid, rude, boring, self-absorbed, airheaded, manipulative, dishonest, _and_ just plain annoying”, but I’m suddenly into Gothic. Well, I was about to answer another round of questions, but unfortunately this caught my eye first. It seems like this was perhaps meant as an insult, but I’m not really sure where you’re trying to head with it. Are you insulting my taste in music, when you’ve in actuality only heard of two artists I’ve listed? Seems like a pretty rash generalization. Are you mocking my profile? I’d hope, given the average intelligence level on this board, that you’d notice a tongue-in-cheek style of writing. And I’m not sure if you’re implying that I’m gothic. If you are, I highly suggest you dust off a dictionary and refresh yourself on the meaning of the word. ---

Have you ever had to take a boxcutter to the throat of a 15 year old who came in your store and tried on a thong over their jeans? ---

**YaWanna** , may I recommend the VS cotton bikini? That is the ONLY style of undies I wear. I thought boy shorts would be good but I had the same problem of them not staying in place on the butt. The bikini stays in place and isn’t an overwhelming amount of fabric like the high-leg brief (“granny”) is, and it’s all cotton. ---

Way to go mister **thornhill.** Not only did you insult the girl, but you distracted her from answering everyone else’s questions! For shame 😛 [sub]rubs his hands together in a “haha, one more competitor eliminated” sort of way[/sub] ---

Wow, that was quick! And I notice my words have enflamed your button. Henceforth you will be known as **soullurk**! ---

My join date and post count should attest to that 😛 But back to the issue at hand. Shall we say daggers at dawn? Pistols at the new moon? Arm-wrasslin’? ---

Male I be, or else by now I’d have opted to slip some arsenic into your Froot Loops and bypassed the dagger fight. ---

Dear Underwear Salesgirl, You are problably too young to remember, but years ago VS made a lotion called Riviera Sun. I wore this stuff all the time. People would stop me on the street to tell me how amazing I smelled. Women would beg for the name of my ‘perfume’. Then for some stooooopid reason they just quit making it. I WANT IT BACK. Please see what you can do. Also, would you check the back room, just in case there might be a dusty bottle of that stuff laying around.
