> [@DMC](#): > > I can’t be the only one to picture Ignatius Reilly every time I read a post by **Le Jacquelope**. Too much credit to LJ. Ignatius took himself seriously. Consider: Eric Cartman as if he was written by Beavis. Not Mike Judge writing the Beavis character, but an actual elementary school child with a close match to the caricature attempting to write fan/slash fiction–casting himself as Cartman. ---

No, don’t enable him. Le Jaq is completely incapable of gleaning any sense of order or custom around here. Pestering him for a link is not only standard procedure, but an excellent way to get him to conform to our America-hating ways. Providing a link for him just helps him move that much closer to his \*next \*thread. ---

The world today seems absolutely crackers. With nuclear bombs to blow us all sky high. There’s fools and idiots sitting on the trigger. It’s depressing and it’s senseless, and that’s why…I like Chinese. I like Chinese. They only come up to your knees. Yet they’re always friendly, and they’re ready to please. I like Chinese. I like Chinese. There’s nine hundred million of them in the world today. You’d better learn to like them; that’s what I say. ---
