I know _I’ve_ been living in a cave. Because that’s news to me. ---

Could someone explain what these figures are that are moving on the wall of my cave? It’s almost like there’s a candle behind me, and someone is holding marionettes in front of it. But these chains are keeping me from turning around… ---

It’s getting awfully crowded in this cave . . . Could you turdsmugglers and boneburglars move the hell _over?_ ---

Regarding the definition of [Zah](http://www.goldenzah.com/Pages/AboutZah.html): > [@](#): > > Zah is a surfer term meaning “the essence of everything” or “the essence of wholeness”. It stems from the last syllable of the word pizZA. Pizza has all four food groups in one bite. When Zah is received, it is shared and passed on to others. The “h” was added because when Za is received there is an “ah” feeling, a sigh of wholeness. The zen of pizza - I love the internet. So I guess we can assume that the question “zah?” is a request to provide relief by making one’s knowledge whole? DaLovin’ Dj ---

So, if you **actually** , really live in a cave and you’re **really** actually an asshole, can you use the term asshole-spelunker to describe yourself or would that be anti-gay? ---

> [@](#): > > So, if you actually, really live in a cave and you’re really actually an asshole, Wait, did you just use the word asshole in a derogatory fashion? Just what do you have against people with asses? Oh, I get it, an ass-hole is a bad thing so all of us dopers who posess one are “wierd” or “bad”. Bigot. Wait, I guess it would be OK to use it that way as long as you have one. Anyone want to check? No stealing. Leave everything where you found it you cave dwelling burglars. DaLovin’ Dj ---

To all of you stupid fucking cave-dwellers; try doing a newsgroup search on “turd burglar”, and see how many posts relate to homosexuality (Oh, duh…gosh…how about that, huh?). The fact that you are ignorant to the meaning of the slurs you use proves only that you are ignorant. ---

Oh blow it out your ass, blowero. Whoops, I said “blow” and “ass” in the same sentence. That must be a double gay slur. ---

Hey, Bill used the “blow it out your ass” first. Does that mean I can’t take credit for it? Even if I didn’t see it before I submitted? Did anyone find out if “buttmuncher” is allowed? It’s all so confusing. ---

The fact that you are ignorant to the meaning of the slurs you use proves only that you are ignorant. \*\* I took your advice and did a Google search. I got this definition of the term – > [@](#): > > TURD BURGLAR - Definition: A pooper who does not realize that you are in the stall and tries to force the door open. This is one of the most shocking and vulnerable moments that occur when taking a dump at work. If this occurs, remain in the stall until the Turd Burglar leaves. This way you will avoid all uncomfortable eye contact. Often times, a Turd Burglar is also an Out of the Closet Pooper. I find the same or similar definition in many places, though Miriam-Webster is strangely silent on the issue.

Likewise, I always thought a pillow biter was someone with a combination sleep and eating disorder. ---
