I don’t want to know. I really don’t want to know. I’m absolutely positive that really… REALLY… _ **REALLY** _ don’t want to know.
But I have to ask.
What the hell is felching?
And why do I not want to know?
It couldn’t be as bad as I think it is…

No, you don’t. You just don’t. Yes, it is. Maybe more.
Before anybody else tells you to look it up in previous threads, allow me to.
Look it up in previous threads. It has been handled recently and the poor bastard got burnt bad.
Unc, could you close this thread before FreakFreely suffers the twin punishments of being flamed and finding out what felching is?

Why would I get flamed? Now I’m curious and confused.

Hey dickwad!
Look in the upper right corner of your screen. See that little globey thing with the magnafying glass beside the word “SEARCH?”
Use it, fuck stick.

Wow, it **was** actually worse than I thought. What can I say? I’m humbled.
Now, what the hell is a fuck stick?

Freek,
Trust me, you don’t want to piss off the Chief. Be a good little newbie and follow the link. And for God’s sake!, don’t try to flame a blow torch expert with a damp match.

Thanks for that link, **Gatsby**. I couldn’t remember in which thread my favorite **Wally** saying was.

You must mean the line:
“He’ll probably accuse me of being a gerbil felching swineherd for using the word love, but I can live with that.”
Hehe. I really wish I’d have had the chance to get to know Wally better.

C’mon ChiefScott, now yer just being mean. I didn’t deserve that. I looked at the thread when you told me to. I really don’t need to be patronized.
:::offering hand:::
Truce?
I warn you, if you don’t shake my hand I may have to elevate to “Plan 2: Kiss and make up”. And I **know** you don’t want that…

Yes, and I did exactly what you told me to do. What more can be expected of me?
