I just noticed that if you read this thread aloud, record it, then play it backwards, it says, “Wally is dead, man, miss him, miss him, miss him…” Hope this helps. ---

I just listened again. With the new posts, this thread, backwards, now says, Who’s the dumbass that keeps asking if Wally is dead, man? Piss off, Piss off, Piss off,… Apparently I’d misinterpreted the last phrase the first time around. Sorry for the confusion. ---

I don’t think this guy is from our country Wally. I wasn’t aware that we were now admitting morons. This guy has the intellect of a bedpost. And I’ll say, if he doesn’t chut up, it’s going to be the final bedtime. Peace y’all, I’m going to bed. * * * “My drinking team has a Rugby problem.” _This sig line has been brought to you by the creative mind of Wally_ If you need a graphic solution, [http:\ alk.to\Piglet](http://talk.to%5CPiglet)
