You couldn’t have spent that $2.12 on a worthier cause than that? Please. I think I’ll skip lunch today. ---

Oh sure, now the rest of us have to deal with _your_ bad mood because your blood sugar is low. I found a missing sock this morning and recreated the pair. Regards, Shodan ---

Maybe the other sock had grown to love its independence and solitude after all this time. Did you think about _that_ before you stuck your nose in, Mr. Busybody? I must have probably two dozen single socks with no matches. ---

I wonder how many people are going to bitch and moan about the _clearly_ immoral and improper pardon President Trump will issue to the White House turkey? I’m listening to a podcast of _“Wait, Wait Don’t Tell Me”_ and rather enjoying it. ---

You should be spending your time on a more socially-relevant podcast, like _Serial_. I’ve been following the current season of _Serial_ quite closely. ---

Apologise? For what? The crappy thing you did? Or is it some preemptive passive/aggressive move? And it would really help if you spelled it properly A.P.O.L.O.G.I.S.E. I seem to be having tremendous difficulty with my life-style. ---

Well I feel real sorry for you Patx2. You just go ahead and call in sick and role model for your kids how to wimp out. You should have called in sick for this thread. Moderator, “nicely, escort Patx2 out of here.” I think the moderator is very clever and fair. And probably good looking. ---

Land of the free—for whom? It’s certainly not for the huddled masses of tired poor, or the wretched, tempest-tossed, homeless, refuse. And land of the brave? WTF! We crushed those braves and took all their damned land. Aren’t my dogs so cute and cuddly? ---

Sure, when they are not peeing and pooping everywhere, leaving their fur all other, and terrorizing people with their growling and teeth showing. Dogs are elements of Satan. I got a DVD of the Baryshnkov/Kirkland The Nutcracker today for $1, and it supported my local library. ---
