I figure worst case scenario is I get sued by dougie. Best case scenario is I don’t have to spend eternity with a bunch of Jehovah’s Witnesses.

Jehovah’s Witnesses do not believe in hell. So your worst case scenerio does not exist. The end of the world is going to come as soon as there are 144,000 Witnesses. Or is it before the last of the witnesses born before 1914 dies? Or when the archangel Michael (a/k/a Jesus) shows up? Or Michael Jackson (a/k/a the archangel Michael a/k/a Jesus) comes back?

That’s “Smilin’ Joe” Biden, vice-president of the US.

You are welcome. 🙂 We may never see her like again. ☹

Pardon me, but I couldn’t find the word “irrasical” in my Random House dictionary. Are you sure you didn’t mean “irascible”? That would describe her.

“And at this point, Tonstant Weader fwowed up.” 😃

To be serious about it, I have practically never seen the likeness of Joe Biden–not even years ago, when he was a candidate for President. Not even in our newspaper.

JW’s do believe that Jesus is NOT god, but the created being Michael the Archangel. And some did believe that Michael Jackson was the archangel Michael.

Of course, they believe in one god, Jehovah. Jesus is a god too, but there is only one god, Jehovah. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Dougie, I think it’s inappropriate for you to flirt with Annie so brazenly in the middle of this discussion you’re having.

Newsflash, **dougie**. You may have first seen “selfie” in print a few weeks ago, but that’s not when it first appeared.

From [Wiki](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selfie):

_“By 2013, the word “selfie” had become commonplace enough to be monitored for inclusion in the online version of the Oxford English Dictionary.[18]”_

To everyone else in here: Keep it coming! I fucking love this thread!

It actually can be traced back as far as 2002.

That’s why\* we _are laughing at_ you\*. You tried to impress us with your score of a 100 on some random test. It didn’t work.
