There are some wild lefty athiest chicks out there, they’re great for a weekend, you just don’t let them talk much. ---

I’d object to that, but Henry Rollins telling Ann Coulter to come spend some time at his place learning to shut the fuck up just felt so _right_… ---

Well, you see, within the class of substances known as “drugs”, there is considerable variety. Myself, and most of my ilk (got ilk?) prefer the organic and positive: your 'shrooms, weed, that sort of thing. Don’t much care for opiates, alcohol. Hate methedrine with every fiber of my being, I know the story about its being invented by the Nazis isn’t true, but I believe it anyway. So, to murder my joke with analysis, one can become so hideously bored and tormented that the ordinary protocols dissolve. Damn, but I hate to explain a joke! Look, maybe you should just stick to _Mallard Fillmore_ and Dennis Miller. I mean, even if you understand it, you aren’t going to like it any better. ---

Something in the water lately? Awful lot of gratuitous bellicosity around here. Well, slightly more than usual. ---

> [@Olentzero](#): > > **Princhester** , I wasn’t accusing **Loach** of trolling, I was saying that if **Der Trihs** actually _did_ say what was attributed to him, then **that** would be trolling. I understand that. I have no idea why, after reading my post, you don’t understand that I understand that. I just don’t think that what he is quoted as saying is trolling. > [@Linty\_Fresh](#): > > **Trihs** is an immature basement-dwelling 40 year old virgin. This whole “basement dwelling adult virgin” thing is becoming a real bore. It’s getting to a Godwinlike situation. As the length of time you express opinions that certain self appointed Real Men grows longer, the probability that someone will say that you are a basement dwelling adult virgin approaches unity. Provide some evidence or get yourself a new insult. ---

I highly doubt that DT is a virgin. There are a lot of leftist college women with dope-clouded brains who totally put out for all that anti-American jive. If you can affect the persona of the revolutionary hero who’s ready to tear down the institutions of religion, government, etc, it’s inevitable that you’ll get some pussy out of the act.
