[QUOTE=Q.E.D.] Dude, that’s not even close to “unhinged.” You wanna see a genyoowine spittle-flecked, off-the-hinge rant, go read some posts by **lissener** or **Liberal** when they really get worked up. **Waverly** was damned calm by comparison. And actually, it was also pretty funny. [/QUOTE] If you know me, you know I won’t argue that last part. It was funny. ---

> [@Tenebras](#): > > Oh, come on. “If you don’t like it why did you use it in your thread title?” has got to be in the hall of fame for stupid whiny shit. Not really. It wasn’t just that **Waverly** didn’t like the “I can has” form, he put it in his thread title _right before bitching about people who put it in thread titles_. I think it’s a legitimate question, at the very least. ---

[QUOTE=fetus] I think it’s a legitimate question, at the very least. [/QUOTE] Sure. And it has a legitimate answer: it’s called “mockery.” ---

[QUOTE=fetus] Not really. It wasn’t just that **Waverly** didn’t like the “I can has” form, he put it in his thread title _right before bitching about people who put it in thread titles_. [/QUOTE] Yeah. So people would _know what he was talking about_. Next legitimate question? Oh, right. Well, when a mummy loves a daddy very much… ---

[QUOTE=Tenebras] Oh, come on. “If you don’t like it why did you use it in your thread title?” has got to be in the hall of fame for stupid whiny shit. It’s right up there with “if you like it so much, why don’t you marry it” … [/QUOTE] You’ve got it backwards. The OP was the one saying (something like) “if you like it so much, why don’t you marry it” in response to those “moron-speaking”. The thread could just have as easily been titled “I hate LOLcatz-speak” and it would have been just as easily understood. And less a lot of hypocritical. ---

Except only the people who knew exactly what lolcats sound like would come in. This way everybody who’s been annoyed by can has’ing gets in on the fun. But really I’m just replying so that you get a response and don’t go away thinking we all agree with you. In fact, we all secretly hate your guts and I drew the short straw and had to be the one to respond. Oh, woe is me! 😉 ---

You know what they say: it’s not the size of the dog in the fight, it’s how big your penis is. ---

[QUOTE=Tenebras] You know what they say: it’s not the size of the dog in the fight, it’s how big your penis is. [/QUOTE] I thought it was, “If you get into a fight with a dog, don’t let him bite your penis.” ---

Since the LOLcat has been let out the bag in this thread, I realize this is a thinly disguised attempt to cover the fact that I _am_ right by responding and pretending that you really don’t want to. 😉 ---
