Don’t even try to deny it, you jackbooted thug. You’ve got a ding-dong. You’ve had it since you were born. Before, even. And don’t all the rest of you apologists rush in here all defensive and whiny and start claiming he doesn’t have one, or it isn’t his fault that he has one, or when moderators have one they shouldn’t be called on it. He has one. And he uses it. And I, for one, am not going to sit by and say nothing about it. ---
