I know that. It is just that some posters, including that one, are on my ignore list, and I wanted to be a huge dick to her despite the fact that she is on my ignore list. So I gave you credit for something she found, and probably posted yourself.

I guess I could follow this down the rabid hole, but I’ll pass.

I’m still digesting **TSS** ’s rather clear admission that he’s into self-buggery.

I only met Opal briefly at the Lake Alatoona picnic. We chatted for a few minutes until she asked me my screen name. When I gave it, she was startled and broke off the conversation.

A perfectly natural reaction from someone who made everything all about herself, when encountering someone for whom everything is all about himself. 🙂

Yesterday was Douglas Adams’ birthday.

While it was a slightly bowdlerized version of the original, that “kneebiter” line was in the US edition of _Life, the Universe, and Everything_, delivered by Wowbagger the Infinitely Prolonged to Arthur Dent. TMYK!

_I don’t give a single hamster fuck if you’ve never noticed me before._

You’re still being a complete piece of shit in this thread.

I’m pretty crushed.

Monty et al. are “rape apologists” and “liars” and he talks to THEM.

He hisses, spits, spews, regurgitates and otherwise beats his head on the wall trying to make loud noises, but it’s totally inaccurate to call that talking. Just saying.

Can we at least agree that **TSS** , while being a lying douchebag and complete asshole on the regular, seems to be having his period in this thread? He’s got his tits in a twist over some hawt chick. Maybe he should quit flicking the bean over her and pull the tampon out of his vagina because his PMS is really bringing the thread down.

I think there would be some disagreement about what TSS really is. From this thread so far we have…

- 

jerk, kneebiter, Dumb-fuck, Dick, self-buggery, “counselor”, Hypocrite, Heroin Jack, scrotum pole, silly little man, It’s just the paint talking, Overreact much, douchebag, lying sack of dung, piece of shit,\*

And from those who were more descriptive;  
\*  
TSS, a first-rate, top-drawer asshole,

freedom to call people names triggers something deeply stupid inside you

deep the puddle of rage spittle under TSS’ desk

He had to have windshield wipers installed on his computer screen!

It’s paint, isn’t it? You’re huffing spray paint.

You are not beating on anyone you are just looking like a complete idiot.

Is this a meltdown in progress?

little fellow with big anger issues and a small mind.

Your hypocrisy is strong.

Dear God, you’ve a hell of a sense of your own importance, haven’t you?

completely discredit yourself from the start by calling people names and engaging in stupid hyper-hyperbole

Are you high or something?

Dude, just shut up.

And many forms of “liar”  
\*

Maybe we should have a “pick three vote.”

And so we have a clear record of your outrage, what exactly do you assert that I am lying about?

And you are the one that contributed this sick piece of garbage:

> [@Morgenstern](#):

> Your cluelessness is such that you’d fall into a bucket of tits and come out sucking your thumb.

I noticed that you left “cluelessness” off your list, as well as thumbsucker. Are you, 11 pages later, finally ashamed of where your mind goes when you attempt to insult people? So ashamed you left it off the list? If so, then this pitting has had a beneficial educational effect on you. And I would take credit. Admit it, Morgenstern, my taking you to task on your disgustingness has made you a better person. So much better that you will never repeat that sick and disgusting insult to anyone else. (You won’t repeat that sick and disgusting insult to anyone else in your life if you live to be 100, will you?)

The Second Stone, the man who made Morgenstern a better person.

It’s 30 days on, and then another 30 days on, repeat as necessary.

On the plus side. The cute owl video is now over 180 views!
