Heh, you wanna know what the sad thing was? These people are older. The woman who attacked me with most aplomb looks from her pic to be in her 40’s!

Heh sorry no offense intended. I just have dislike for game threads I’ve tried posting in them and it’s just not fun for me. 🙂

The state has no business in the underpants of the nation.

Vive les Bobettes libres.

Let’s not forget the French!

“Let them eat underpants!”

“The State, it is underpants.”

And then there’s The Straight Dope, Fighting Underpants Since 1973

I gotta know–what quotes, exactly, of Owen Wilson’s are so profound that they shouldn’t be tampered with?

Yeah, that Owen Wilson…he’s a modern-day Socrates.

Do these people really take things that his _characters_ have said as if he himself had said them?

(p.s. I got that quote off of IMDB, from Armageddon. I don’t know any Owen Wilson quotes by heart.)

Just so long as nobody ever posts anything like “If underpants were cornflakes, you’d be General Mills.”

We could never allow that kind of blasphemy on _this_ board.

Why does your sense of humor need a vacation when it clearly isn’t doing any real work, whatsoever?

Four score and seven years ago our underpants brought forth on this  
continent a new nation, conceived in underpants and dedicated to the  
proposition that all underpants are created equal.

I also have gotten into trouble for not taking actors and/or fictional characters seriously enough. Now I understand why.

I have a poor taste of humor.

Who woulda guessed.

God, I can’t believe people get this worked up about a mid-list celebrity. Just reading about it makes me feel almost… cool, in comparison. And that’s a decidedly unusual sensation.
