Maybe we shouldn’t make a big fuss. Or _ **Furor** _, as one might _say_.

Oh, lordy, he’s one of those Ancient Aliens TV show people, isn’t he? My dad has gotten completely sucked in to that. Admittedly he’s bedridden and the TV is his only source of entertainment, but I really wish he wouldn’t \*believe \*in this shit.

No, no, he took \*great \*offense when he thought I was dragging \*aliens \*into it by mentioning Hancock (who AFAIK is strictly Earthbound in his lunacy)…

I mean, that would be CRAZY. And he’s NOT crazy!

Even if those FOOLS! at the University called him MAD!!! But He’ll Show THEM!!! Aha ha ha!!!

I see you meant Hancock, not the WooTroll, though. I don’t know if he’s been on the show, quite probably has.

Aw, how can you not like someone who uses the terms _ad homonym_ and _milady_? As to his woo factor: that clown is the very reason transfinite numbers were created.

He’s responded to every post since he bumped it. Maybe not a troll, but an attention whore, at the very least.

I suppose calling his claims “woo” is an _ad homonym_ if you’re accusing him of using his wand to court young ladies.

It just struck me how much of a phallic symbol a “magic wand” could be.

Eeeeewww.
