**Bolivians, propitious fate has crowned our hopes…**

I notice that in this thread, and his similar “Go Marines!” thread, **Blackacre** disappeared just after 9:30 PM both times. Guess his mommy finally told him it was past his bedtime. Even fairy tale creatures have moms.

I think the way this is being dealt with now is perfect. Take idiotic frothing rant. Sidetrack it with silly jokes and bad word puns. Ignore OP as he tries to get his rant back on track. Continue making silly jokes until everyone has forgotten what the OP was in the first place.

Maybe if we do this in enough threads, we’ll get the board back. 😃

Of course not.

We fear the \*mindset \* of the majority, assfang.

Is assfang the knowledge that when something bites you in the ass, you’ve caused it?

For reasons inexplicable, I’m now stuck with the music from the campy TV show Batman in my head, except Assfang is in that place. _Nana nana nana nana Assfang!_

Is this a rhetorical device or are you honestly suggesting that something the dems did directly caused the mindset of the majority?

Assfang is in Idaho, about ten miles west-southwest of Assboink.\*

- They were, of course, named after a particularly recalcitrant donkey, for the information of non-Pterryphiles.

I hate to do this, but i have to stick up for the Brett Somers Thread. That’s exactly the kind of knowledge I can’t not read.  
And this thread is awesome too. Granted, the only reason is that I learned what “assfang” means, but still… I’d be lost on that one if it weren’t for this thread.

I mean NATURAL GAS!!!  
Whoa.

Yeh, the methane emissions are something fierce right now.

When carbon met hydrogen – wow!  
They hooked up and new ground did plow  
Then oxygen said  
“Let me into your bed”.  
Now the three are acetylene down.
