**GMRyujin** , I’m going to give you the choice I never had… **jjimm** , (apologies if I got your name wrong), stop posting jokes like that, you’re making me fall in love with you. I really don’t have anything else to say, except that the OP is even funnier if you read it with Professor Frink’s voice in your head. ---

I thought the porn one was funny, but I think running it through the Jar-Jargonizer is funnier: > [@](#): > > Well, Mee-sa’ve tired of being like this.

Hey, it’s a first draft. I haven’t decided if it should be a Black Metal song or a haiku, but I promise to cut you in on half the profits. I blame a recent foray into my lost youth of White Wolf products, Cure albums, and cheap vodka. ---

😃 😃 😃 I read the OP in a Morrissey voice. Damn, I thought the pornalizer was too funny, but the jar-jargonizer is the tits. poor Kurdt, he hasnt posted since yesterday. I wonder if its because now he’s bored and old. aging 2 years in a month anyways. My inner soul cries out, out across the void to the universal possibilty of like minded lost souls in the blackness, who will here the call and come to me, and my confused Matrix analysing arse. and that explanation of ‘hand kick batter’ makes fuck all sense too. is he on about wanking or what? thats Springsteen yo. I’m all out of bible qoutes. ---

Guys, I think Kurdt is about to break TO THE EXTREME! And then we’ll need to wake him up, wake him up inside. It’s a downward spiral, I’ll tell ya. ---

wasn’t the reason the real Kurt Cobain smacked himself out of existence (or got murdered by Courtney, or whatever) to stop teenage crap like the OP being written? the man must be rotating like a high power lathe in the grave at this thread! “and in the EEEENNNNDDDDD, it DOENST REEEEEALLLY MAAAAATTTERRRRR!” ---
