I got all excited to put this thread on watch for hot hot drama action, but then I saw the OP. What the fuck?

Also, chalk me up as another person who thought of the PBF strip.

In the spirit of the thread title:

**ivn** , shut the fuck up. I know you won’t listen or care aside from telling me exactly how weak this is, but Christ on a pogo stick crutch, just shut _up_.

Well it’ll always have a special place in my heart.

You will never grow up. That is so sad. I worry about you.

Yeh, this one cracked me up.

BTW: Shouldn’t someone write a language manual which lists all the things you are not allowed to say? :dubious:

Also, how many carriage returns can I use before it is considered impolite?

I like **AClockworkMelon** , but I think this thread is a good idea.

**even sven** and **curtis lemay** annoy the shit out of me. **Argent Towers** was a dumbass sometimes. **Mean Old Lady** unfairly but hilariously mocked my taste in alcoholic drinks once. **tumbleddown** acted like a fucking idiot in that “dogs wearing clothing” thread. **Cesario** was a fucking sleazebag.

:::whew::: I feel much better now.

After he’s posted some 1960s-era “American ascendancy” nonsense I often have the urge to pat **Curtis** on the head and say “Awww…wookit da widdle paweoconservative! Who’s a cute widdle paweoconservative? YOU are! Yes you are! Good boy! Have a cookie.” It’s just so adorable.

This reminds me of the \*Community \*episode where the cool people get smack talk from the retarded people who think they’re cooler than the cool people. So then the cool people try to make the retarded people look stupid, but realize they get trapped in the “Winning the Special Olympics” conundrum. So they decide to act more retarded than the retarded people, and the retarded people have to re-establish their ubertardedness, and they mock each other for several hours in the cafeteria.
