What a fucking stupid comment. You are not sure, he just might get flamed huh? Priceless tip! Here is a “tip” for you: he said nothing wrong. If the cats are of the same gender it’s homo. If they are animals it’s animalistic. Deal with it and enjoy your chocolate. It was a light joke and you ruined it.

This was classical but hilarious nevertheless 🙂

I have 9 other fingers why stay with the little one. 😉

Cranky I’m very happy that you like those stories, I’m not mad at any of you people I just wanted to rant a bit, after the first rant I was very very happy.

I should have made the title of the rant “who wants the snot beat out of them?” And throw the smack down on anyone who came by. So if anone wants to throw down step up yo. I’ll do the rockin’ sockin’ robot action on your ass.

In all good fun that is.😃

You know what pisses ME off? The fact that my ears HURT as soon as the temperature gets below about 62. I have no idea why. I actually enjoy cool weather. This is my favorite time of year. I prefer it around 65 degrees in my home.

However, as soon as I step outside with my pup on mornings like this, my ears start to ACHE. They hurt inside like I have an infection. This makes me dizzy and doesn’t go away for an hour or so, even after the rest of me is warmed up.

So if you hate earmuffs, well then fuck you. Because I would be in pain without them. I don’t know what kind of defect this is and I feel stupid about it like I’m some kind of wimpy old lady. But I can’t help it.

And I like purple fuzzy earmuffs too. So there.

Damm I hate this backpeddling stuff.

Earmuffs are very sexy.

Earmuffs in a car are not sexy.

You know, I feel a cold coming on and I’ve been sniffling (not to be confused with sniveling, which I do all the time) for a few days now. I could use the snot beat out of me.

Thanks for the offer!! 🙂

Duh. What I said was a joke, too, Mr. Einstein. Thanks for ruining it. Do you really think I thought for one second that someone would flame him/her for making a comment about cats sniffing other cats’ butts? Christ, grow a fucking brain stem.

I just left that part out so that you guys would judge the situation objectively. She also caused my good friend a lot of pain and trouble. I didn’t mention that I know the woman? Oh- my bad! So I told her "Hey, nice fucking earmuffs! And she started crying like Nancy Kerrigan. Seriously. I said that. Honest.

Oh, the **FreakFeeley** method. I love that one.Just make sure to finish it off with something about how you’ve been taking lots of hallucinogens recently and think you may have been making the whole things up, but you’re really not sure. 😉

Pretty much this whole thread made me laugh. Earmuffs in a car? Jeez. That’s just silly.

Leave me out of the line for the getting-the-snot-beat-out-of-me party. I’m too much of a wuss for that.

However, I do have to object to the use of “psudo”. It’s spelled “pseudo”. I all of you guys weren’t so much tougher than me, I’d have to beat the snot out of someone.

**Briminator** , I’ve got a cold and nothing seems to relieve the congestion. I give up. You can beat the snot out of me. I’m out of options.

Actually, I did catch it. It was one of my two reasons for saying:

The other reason being that “homo,” without another part to qualify it (e.g., “sexual” or “erotic”) doesn’t really mean anything at all, despite Johnny’s mad ravings to the contrary.

Yes. I was hideously offended by this. Oh the pain of constant prejudice and mockery.
