Trail mix isn’t as healthy as you think it is. It has M&M’s in it! I’m listening to some Michael Jackson right now. [This should be an easy one.] ---

The Communist sympathizer who hypocritically sneered at all the working-class people who could only afford to live in “ticky-tacky little boxes?” I remember being moved by the song “If I Had a Hammer.” ---

You could have at least shown some gratitude for that kind act, you ungrateful wretch. I bought a few things at a home improvement store this evening. ---

Are you implying that is some kind of a major achievement for me? I taught myself to read when I was four years old, and have probably been reading longer than you’ve been alive, you cretin. I got a lead on buying a new fixer-upper house! ---

What, hoping you can find a hidden stash in a vacated crack house? What’s the fixer-upper, replacing the meth explosion? Had fun riding Go-Karts at Frankie’s Fun Palace yesterday. ---

Great. Remind me that I thought reports of his death after being shot by his father on April 1, , 1984 was a big April Fool’s Joke. I’m going to listen to my Russian recording of Chicago tonight. ---

Wonderful. This is the state of this generation, filled with lazy bums who can’t think of anything but skipping work. This is truly the end of times. Maple Hill is a city in Wabaunsee County, Kansas, United States. As of the 2010 census, the city population was 620. ---

IN-bred, more likely, judging by the semi-coherent content of your 'way too many posts. And frankly, that kind of smug regionalism has no place in today’s interconnected world. I favor world peace. ---
