No tigger, I’m from NYC, the first city where the baseball manager, mayor and chief of police have prostrate cancer. They make too much sperm for their ages.

May you repair a crack in the Liberty Bell, by hopping on it.

Alright, that’s it–I don’t mind a few harmless insults, but calling me “sir” is going TOO DAMN FAR! May you be seduced by the woman of your dreams!

(I realize this is pretty strong, but it’s BigJoe’s fault–he provoked me.)

Yeah, well, there are rumors to the effect you’ve been known to pass tests, so I wouldn’t be parading my lack of ignorance around if I were you.
