Well, I called Wally a heartless fool one time, and _that_ almost came true… I’m still right about the fool part, of course 😃

Good god. Are you “clowns” trying to scare away another one? Sinocent, please ignore these jokers. UncleBeer is the only refined gentleman on this site. If you don’t believe me, just check the MPSIMS archives for a thread called “Guy Stuff.” That should convince you what a bunch of cretins these fools are. And tangentially, the goodness of my soul, oh wait, I sold that to Satan about six months ago.

As for björn, just ignore his whining; every day is a bad day when you live on a slab of volcanic rock covered in ice.

So Unclebeer, you now swoop in and try to take women from our dashing dutchman and the man with the bionic heart? How cruel. These men have needs!

sinocent, UncleBeer is an enemy of the people. He is an agent provecateur, sent by Moscow to discredit me.

UncleBeer is not even his real name. It’s an alias. Trust me.

Us? Brutal? Oh, no, no, never. We follow the motto of the Gridiron Club- “Singe, but never burn.”

Now, as for the initiation ceremony- I’m sure I had that flame-thrower around here somewhere… “Singe, but never burn…”

Welcome to the asylum. Watch out for the rational ones.

## You really have to be asking for it, like dissing someone who’s been on the board for a year or more. (See the upstart “Federalist” trying to pick a fight with the long-revered “Satan.”) Or just being outright stupid. (Posting a message full of misspellings and then claiming they’re typos, and you’re too important to proofread. See “MerlynNY” and “pennystheman”) Or obnoxious (See any item by MrSocko.) So far you’ve done none of the above, so just keep it up. 😃

And I of course meant “ones”. Sigh.

I was just, um, distracted, er, by how beautiful you were.

Yeah, thats it.
