Probably a long-ago banned poster who, after their first ban, realized that they really like participating in the community here though they carry a chip on their shoulder from long-ago slights. They would otherwise have post counts upwards of twenty thousand, so despite a few hundred to few thousand posts each they collectively make up one nominally prolific poster.

You forget. The mods are in on the conspiracy. In fact, **Marley** is the ringleader.

Are you a charter member, or are you just happy to see me?

You probably _don’t_ have an exact copy of your birth certificate which is on file in the [wherever you were born]. Why do you think you do have such a copy?

Somewhere out there, your long-lost birth certificate is being used by terrorists to get Social Security numbers and to destroy America.

Have you seen the Quatloo exchange rate? You’d be lucky to get a night on Risa for a 400 Quatloo pot.

Crap, I wanted to ask him one more time just where he thought Obama had been born, or hatched, or however these mooks think he was spawned.

He seemed to be trolling in that thread, but I’m surprised that it’s an outright banning and not a suspension.

Tuesday, yes it was tuesday I saw my congressman come out of the titty bar.  
He didn’t look like my congressman, but that’s OK  
Nobody looks like themselves anymore  
I think its got something to do with all that crap they’ve been putting in the water.

Dude, have you _tried_ the 400 Quatloo pot? It’s primo shit.

What really bugs me is I was born in Hawai’i roughly 40 years ago, and I used to have one of those pieces of paper the birthers are so obsessed with. It eventually just wore out (kept it in my wallet crossing back and forth across the Rio Grande for ten years), and I requested some new copies. Yep, just like our president, I have the same new format document.

So, I can’t prove I exist to some people, but that’s okay-- it’s my personal idiot filter.

Yes, but I look smashing in my new Collar of Obedience and Galt assures me I bear the mark of a fine herd!  
(Now I just need to learn enough Triskelion to learn who my Provider is. The name is 8 characters long and the last two are different somehow.)

CMC fnord!  
At least we’ve discovered a reliable way to discover who’s about to be banned!
