No you didn’t. You surf waves, you _read_ words. Sheesh, the utter destruction of communication! The total disinterest in being understood! You’re part of the collapse of language that’s the bane of modern existance! I’m thinking of having a rice-based side-dish with dinner tonight. ---

Jesus, I don’t even know which of the 28 recognized genders you are, and in any event you’re freaking me the fuck out. One of my distant cousins, a lovely girl, married a woman, and they just decided to separate. ---

This is not the appropriate forum for trolling, in fact no forum is. As a teenager I worked in a store that played country music and still suffer PTSD from it! I must be a great guy as I own a Hybrid car. 🙂 ---

Yes! Let’s celebrate another fine example of the self-serving destruction of property! Even though my current cars are reasonably efficient, I wish that I could justify buying a hybrid. ---

If you can predict things like that, why aren’t you playing the lottery? Since I agreed to accept the ends of the French toast sticks at Burger King this morning (which are my favorite ones), the nice counter person gave me five instead of just three!!! ---
