That way, you can attack the others for their stupidity and shallowness and get all the girls. \*\* And just like in _Good Will Hunting,_ when someone proves that you’ve been plagarizing your lines, the girl goes home with your accuser and later gives you the inner strength and self-confidence that you need to overcome your inner demons and embark on your true destiny - in a beat-up car. **RedFury’s** boinking Minnie Driver!

Just a short note to acknowledge the support expressed by many of you in this thread. Interesting to note that said support came from Dopers of all sides of the political spectrum. While some of you may have relished **Chumpky’s** difficulties more than others due to past experiences with him, I felt that the evidence brought forth went beyond whatever personal feelings anyone may have had in the matter. I can’t deny that it feels good to have had said feeling validated. And **Sua**? About the Minnie Driver thing? I’ve got the beat-up car part down pat, but I _truly_ regret to inform you that Ms Driver is nowhere in sight. Any help in rectifying this blatant injustice would be greatly appreciated. ☹ In the meantime, thank you all. ---

I can only promise Ms Driver that I’d try \*hard[/]. On second thought, strike that. Probably not a good idea to start the relationship with a resounding **slaap!** Groan at leisure 😉 ---

If I haven’t posted my thanks to you, **RedFury** , for your efforts in keeping us honest on the SDMB, I do so now. We may disagree - even vehemently - with each other on politics, religion, sexuality, and every other topic under the sun. But the posters worthy of respect on this board are the ones committed to honesty in their arguments. Thanks to you for reminding us of that. Regards, Shodan ---

Thank you. I also agree with **sailor** , time to put this one to bed. **Neurotik** , For shame! I’m still working on getting to first base with Ms Driver, yet here you are, suggesting a threesome! :mad: ---

I am sorry to be late posting here as I was wasting my time earning a living instead of pursuing my true calling, posting on the SDMB that is. Chumpsky says: > [@](#): > > I will readily admit that I would rather live in the U.S. than in Cuba. Like I said, the U.S. enjoys enormous advantages that help it to overcome its backward political and economic system. But, would I rather live in Cuba than Guatemala, El Salvador, or the Dominican Republic? You bet your ass. I hate to inform him that Cubans are even fleeing to the DominicanRep. A strange thing in view of the supposed superiority of conditions they enjoy in Cuba. There are Cuban doctors driving taxis here. I doubt that he is ever been to Cuba, he never replied if he had been there when asked in the “Venezuela Situation” thread. Not that my post will make a dent in his beliefs though. ---

For those who want to believe that it really is possible for two people to just accidentaly write two paragraphs, I suggest you check out [turnitin.com](http://turnitin.com). It’s an anti-plagarism site that checks the entire internet as well as over thousands of databases. I use it every semester for my freshman writing classes. I have never seen a “false positive” of over 7-8 consecutive words. It literally does not happen. And Chumpsky, I can only pray that you enroll in one of my classes and try that shit. It would be a fucking pleasure. ---

Then yes, I am definitely suggesting a threesome. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Neurotik \* > \*\*A threesome? I think not. Unless you mean me, Ms Driver and Ms Hurley. \*\* Nope, nope, not it at all. I simply meant that if you thought I was going to let Ms Driver pass Go and end up in your lap, you’ve got another thing coming. OTOH, the whole think would become more er…palatable should you bring Ms Hurley along. 🆒 BTW, this thread’s starting to remind of the toasted bloody whore. I love it when that happens. Means closure is at hand and she’s smiling in her grave. ---
