> [@Guinastasia](#): > > > [@bucketybuck](#): > > > > Thats just stupid. > > That’s rich, coming from you. Did you really just take time away from whatever the fuck it is you do, to type the words, **“Thats rich, coming from you”** in a thread which makes pretty clear my lack of concern about your opinion? Are you so starved of social interaction that when some inane little rejoinder popped into your tiny little mind, instead of sniggering and moving onto the next pop tart like any normal retard, you actually went ahead and posted it, as if the words **“Thats rich, coming from you”** would have any other effect than to make me think, “Jinkies, what a spastic”. Does that pink mildew you call a brain process differently to the rest of us? Do you realise that literally everybody else on this planet, upon thinking to themselves, **“Thats rich, coming from you”,** everybody else would have realised immediately how juvenile it sounded and went onto the next thread. Even that subset of everybody who would have decided to post something, would have posted something rather more interesting and witty than **“Thats rich coming from you”**. But you? Not only did you think of an insult an eight year would reject as too stupid, but you actually went and posted it! I am astounded at your lack of intelligence, your lack of creativity, and your lack of wit. You remind me of nothing so much as a failed sperm. You joined a bandwagon, but because you were slow and stupid, you have been left behind to float about uselessly, bitter at the hand life has dealt you. You have my sympathy. Which is rich, coming from me. ---

What kind of moron runs that place, anyway? If he allows avatars, I bet he gives up after the first pant leg while attempting to dress himself every morning. ---

Ahahahaha. Wasn’t that one done on the first page? How many people are counting these things anyway? Resolved: Retards with over eight thousand posts check word counts because they are insecure and like furries. ---

Yep. This is just boring now. Besides, anyone can have avatars if they want them badly enough. Have a look at my signature. 😉 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/avatards/556161.md?page=22) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/avatards/556161.md?page=24)
