What’s your stance on semi-automatic raffles?

It’s not really about how much you drink, it’s more about how well a person handles it.

A.J. Raffles was an amateur cracksman, not a home invader, and thus would never carry a gun.

Nah. I think I’ll drop this one too. I promised myself that I would if I got involved in another pissing contest here, and last night I did. It compounds things that I wasted time from a perfectly good buzz on \*\* Czarcasm\*\* and **Der trihs**. They are both people who, IRL, I wouldn’t bother to acknowledge much less engage in any kind of conversation, whether civil or not. I’m not against wasting my time, but there are ways that are more fun.  
The Dope being what it is, let the parting shots and snark commence!

Did you know that a giraffe has a purplish-black, prehensile tongue that can be as much as 20 inches long?

In other words you are going to pretend that you were an equal participant in the snark and not the primary target, and call it a tie.

Like you have ever had any control in this thread, scumpuppy. You may make a weakass attempt to jump out in front of the parade, but you _never_ had possession of the baton.

Okay, I’ll take up his pretend-invitation and inquire whether \*\*Scumpup \*\*is your single biggest gaping asshole on the SD. He’s among my top ten for sure, but there are so many different types of offensive idiots here I really can’t award him my top spot so easily. There are other offensive gun-fetishists, and there are delusional religious nuts, and there are jingoistic Murka-first patriots who piss me off. I wonder if it’s best to draw up the categories that offend me, or do this on a personal basis. I think the personal is the way, since I’m always capable of finding someone strangely charming or witty despite any deep-seated principled disagreements. I find \*\*scumpup \*\*utterly lacking in qualities I might find personally virtuous.

On the other hand, he made even me look good in comparison.
