In the aforementioned thread where a poster was asking about why her boyfriend wasn’t interested in sex, and **Perciful** went all crazy on " because he’s a cheating bisexual" tangent, **Dio** rejected the possibility that the b.f. was too stressed out to be interested by saying something like “stress never affects my sexual drive, so I don’t buy that.”

If that’s not an example of **Dio** “extropolat[ing] a lot from personal, anecdotal experience,” the way he states **Perciful** seems to do, then butter my butt and call me a biscuit.

I always imagine Amy Sedaris as Jerri Blank reading **Perciful’s** posts. Then I laugh and laugh.

If he had, it wouldn’t be ironic, just false. The humor, and irony, is based on the sweet innocent tones used by someone who is, apparently, completely oblivious to being broadly accused of the same thing, over and over, and even in the same thread.

We’ll they’re French, so I think that they’re already chucked.

Have you ever watched a French comedy show? There’s got to be a special hell for that.

That is brilliance. Sheer brilliance. That whole post by **Perciful** is deeply disturbing, though.

Nope. Asian mommas don’t let their babies grow up to be cowboys. Mostly 'cause we’re lactose intolerant.
