And you still can’t figure out where “Peedy” comes from?

If Little Peedy thinks someone is calling him names, he can always tell his mommy.  
In the meantime, have you come up with any actual evidence pointing to a setup by police?

As you have failed to take mine; Stop digging.

Of course, I now see that you’re enjoying the attention, so… farewell.

Can I get you to back off too, please? Let someone else take your turn now. I already said your stalkerish behaviour is making me unconfortable.

I didn’t even pick a fight with you.

You don’t get to to assign “turns” to people, **Peedy** -that’s for your children’s games. The adults are talking now, so if you’ve got something of substance to add now’s the time, and if being called on your child-like behaviour makes you uncormfortable you can always go find another conversation that is more on your level. If you think you’re uncomforable now, try to stretch this into another five or six pages of “The Peedy Show” and see what happens.

We don’t allow soliciting here, sir, and I’m pretty sure those “ROLECKS” watches in your trenchcoat aren’t the real thing anyway.

Thanks for pointing that out to me, I hadn’t noticed. I’ll check it out.

I thought about opening a thread there but didn’t want to take The Pedro Show with me.

No snark intended.

Wasn’t it though a thing of beauty to watch the bullets ricocheting off of me? And not just for the pretty sparks either.

Fair enough. I did come with some tears in my flame proof suit. It was old and rusty.

And most of all I do regret losing my cool somewhere in there with **Marley23**. That didn’t reflect well on me and I deserved my flaming. Didn’t mean to make the thread about me either.
