No. No, I _really_ don’t.

Does anyone?

Anyone what to make a guess what “bad fabric softener” means? I had a student two years ago who claimed to be addicted to floor cleaner. Last time I saw him he was on the median strip with a cardboard sign asking for cash… “so the govment don’t get me!!”

Wow, I know its off subject but that is really hilarious. I mean, I feel bad for whatever situation led him to succumb to the temptations of Fabuloso, but still mildly funny.

Back to the subject “Bad Fabric Softener” = A bad “off” brand, smelled odd when mixed with sweat and in combination with dryer sheets I was using. Went back to Downy and Bounce. All is good down under.🆒

This is even better than Trump telling us how great he is. God what a douchnozzle.

Where the hell did **burrunderthesaddle** come from? An April 2015 join date, but there’s been a sudden burst of incoherent “yah boo sucks to liberals” posts in a few threads (most notably the SLIOTD thread). To be fair, it doesn’t appear to be trolling so much as it does an uncontrollable spasm of Trumpian Tourettes.

From the half-wit Flyer:

>
> For anybody to call themselves a Christian, and yet to oppose the death penalty, is a contradiction in terms; and, so far as that point is concerned, their religion is NOT Christianity, regardless of how orthodox it may be in other points. Such people openly and blatantly contradict the God that they claim to serve; for God explicitly **commanded** the death penalty for murder.

So an internet moron knows better than the Pope what makes someone Christian. What a dick.

Oh yeah, “Thou shalt kill”. How can one forget that? Thee words, single syllables. It could have come today from the current administration- via Twitter.

The crows are picking away at it in the cornfield. Crows are good folk, we should thank them for their service.

Yeah, I’m comfortable calling that one early too. Zero day join-and-post, ambiguous debate “question” criticizing the press (specifically, “reports of Washington events”), ungrammatical English… shine the “T” signal.

Was this from an established trock, or a new seagull (Fly in, shit on everything, leave)? I can’t tell because…

Crows are awesome. They, and [their larger brethren with the better PR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raven), are probably the bestest birds ever.

Thank you, my corvid friends, for keeping our beloved cornfield free of festering troll flesh!

ETA: The cornfield is the best argument in favor of feeding the trolls… to the crows.

Hard to tell. It was certainly well versed in the art:

- Clinically depressed
- Anhedonic
- Suicidal
- Institutionalized
- Using borrowed tablet
- Threatening killing parents who hate him
- Contemplating mass murder a la Adam Lanza (School children?)
- Unattractive to the point of self loathing
- Won’t date the ugly
- JAQ: So what do you do for fun in your life?
