I am enjoying this thread immensely. It belongs in the MPSIMS forum. It’s shaping up to be a possible rival to the classic, “Hands up! This thread’s going to Cuba!” thread. Keep up the mundane, pointless stuff folks! You’re doing great!

How is one familiar with Palidors, yet not with Loverock? Sounds like the bomb in the suitcase of this hijacking.

The Felching Quips.

Sounds like a pretty good band name to me. Either that or a death defying circus act.

Well, shut my mouth. It’s also illegal to put squirrels down your pants for the purposes of gambling.

Been over to MPSIMS, Mull? I had the same thought about, “Mother Teresa’s Bones.”

**The 1999 Mother Teresa’s Bones World Tour.**

Maybe the genre could be like a Weird Al parody of contemporary christian music.

Whaddya think?

Didn’t see that one Uncle, but it sounds like a heck of an idea to me. I think the Felching Quips could headline, with lead-ins from We Three Gry’s, Caloric Sperm, and Loverock. Let Satan emcee with special guest appearances from I’mthecowgodmoo and Omniscient.

UncleBeer – I won’t be back in Salt Lake until the 30th so if you want a really GOOD beating you’ll have to wait 😉

Flypsyde – I’m sorry but I vowed to leave Satan’s ass ALONE. How about I come after yours?

And to hijack the thread: let me tell you about the cutest little thing my nephew did… (people run away, screaming) :o

Ooooh, I was so worried about being boring, but then someone mentioned Coldfire’s front yard, and wouldn’t it be a _fjord_ or _canal_ or whatever Hans Brinker skated on…and ooooh, there was stuff about anal sex and time travel as related to particle physics and an imaginary road trip and, oooh, gee, I just _knew_ I should have posted something intersting about collecting Hummels.

Sigh. We’re such DWEEBS. Uh, what is the real contextual meaning of “Crisco”?

Naturally I’m still thinking about the word “regail”. I’m wondering why I never thought of spelling it that way.

All y’all talk about felching, and you keep talking about SqrlCub and Coldfire, but you never mention… me. The man that brought you the thread which ended up discussing felching. I mean, where else but a purity test thread are you going to talk about suckin’ on some guy’s butt? 😉

So give me the credit I deserve. Feed my ego. Feed it! FEED IT! FEED IT!!!

(side note: the above call for attention should not be taken overly seriously. Consult your doctor before reading the Purity Test thread.)
