Fine, you’re useless _to the board_. :rolleyes: Happy now? And really, you should compare yourself to **MOL**. It only makes you look worse. ---

If the cops have a hair trigger, they’re idiots. However, if they have their weapons holstered while on patrol and catch a bullet from some asshole who has decided to open up on them, they’re _also_ idiots. For me, I think anybody who doesn’t get that Dorner started with the advantage when he ambushed people, they’re probably not too bright. But, I’m sure she’s got expertise here to back her opinions… or maybe just venting some of her mean…too bad we can’t just give Dorner \*\*MOL’\*\*s address and see how well she dispatches him. and see which is which, but…too late. ---

> [@kayaker](#): > > Kumbaya. Loved that thread. Love MOL. Love the BigTard hatin. Wait, did **Rand Rover** say something mean about me? It’s kinda cute that he thinks I actually read anything he says. I even messaged him about it when I figured out he was trolling **monstro**. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that he’s discounting reality once again. And please tell me he’s calling me a virgin again, as if I consider than an insult since it was and is my choice. ---

I have never interacted with this bitch personally, but I admire her big ass from afar. When I see her caustic wit on display, I think funk music.

Uh-huh. And male pattern baldness was MY CHOICE and I don’t consider “baldilocks” an insult. How many girls ya meetin’ down there in mommy’s basement throwing themselves at you, BigTard? Because unless you get the offer, you’re not making a choice any more than I’m “choosing” to not be Emperor of the World.

**MeanOldLady** is the coolest person on the SDMB. Possibly also the hottest. If she laughs at dead cops, it must be funny. Even though it isn’t. ---
