> [@Leaper](#): > > Hey, if you actually READ the site, you’d see that there’s nothing wrong with Wil Wheaton’s life! Heck, he turned out to be cooler than I thought he would! Word on that. Wil Wheaton is the Antikirk. There was a gossip item not to long ago about a man who sat next to Kirk on a plane, and the whole time Kirk would NOT shut up about trying to save him. I love their analogies, they usually go something like, “If you saw a small child playing in a cat-pee infested sandbox that was placed at the bottom of an elevator shaft, and someone was trying to cut the elevator cables, wouldn’t you pull the small child to safety? Well, that’s why we need to tell people about hell!” ---

You’re right; it does no good at all; they made the pretense of wanting to discuss the topic, but are not even trying to listen or understand to the replies; the dishonesty of it all just got too maddening in the end, so I’ve shaken the dust off my feet, as it were. ---

I watched the video of Kirk witnessing to the thugs. I watched it all the way to the end in the fervent hope that the thugs would beat him up. But they didn’t, damn it. ---

Freud once said “Sometimes a banana is just a banana. Other times it’s a big yellow penis that fits in the mouth and can be eaten. Flip a coin.” ---

> [@tdn](#): > > I’m just going from memory here, but the gist is that they’re the perfect food. They come in their own wrappers, they’re the perfect size to fit in your hand, and they are even curved towards your mouth. How can something so perfect be an accident? It had to be designed by God. I keep getting ones that are curved the other way. Maybe I’m not living right ☹ ---
