Farts are always funny. **Diamonds** and her friend are still jerks.

Man, that is one fancy-pants way to say “fuck THAT shit!”

People who are assholes to others just because they can get away with it are _never_ funny. They’re just assholes.

It’s like thinking it’s a hoot when your friends throw eggs at cars. “Hahaha! Did you see how much you scared/angered/inconvenienced those people? You sure are hilarious!”

Meh, I like her. I don’t think that she’s an asshole or a jerk.

But she does need to grow up.

I know this is a several months old thread now, but I just had to update it for Diamonds02’s most recent hijinx… her plan to steal flowers, re-pot them, and then sell them for a profit.

Seriously Diamonds… seriously -\_-

This might even top the honking thing. Going around and stealing people’s flowers to sell them to make a profit?

I hope that “friend” has an emergency at 3 a.m. but the emergency response can’t get there because they are all too tired after having gotten no sleep because of jerks like that.

I think **Diamonds02** might actually be Frank Reynolds.

Does anybody still mention [Harry Harlow’s](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Harlow#Partial_and_total_isolation_of_infant_monkeys) Mengele-ish experiments in Psych classes? I first read about them in third grade and thought they were sadistic, except I didn’t know that word yet.

Damn, I am going to quote this in The Analog World. That’s great.  
And from that other thread where _Diamonds_ parks in a traffic lane and claims to be mystified by others getting pissed:

[see also](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=648919) (and don’t miss the poster’s triumphant return to the thread at #26).

In other news, obvious troll is obvious.

Just to make sure she sees it, here’s my advice to her when she asked “What can I find for free and sell?”:

OMG, Diamonds, I just now saw your “Why can’t I overfish a lake and sell the fish off the back of my truck?” thread.

Go get some money the old fashioned way (work for it). Relying on your own instincts is going to get you in a lot of trouble.

I’m half expecting to come here someday soon and read a thread titled _ **“How was I supposed to know pickpocketing was a bad idea?”** _ and your OP mentioning that a guy broke all your fingers. Slowly.

Seriously…it sounds like all the ideas she has for making money involve more actual physical work and scrambling around for less money than just getting a damn job and doing it. Yes, we’re just coming out of a recession and unemployment is high, but fast food and retail are hiring. It doesn’t pay GREAT but if you are even halfway responsible you’re worth more than gold in those areas and you should never want for work.
