> [@Bosstone](#): > > Just so you know, “the last person in the thread to keep posting the same bullshit over and over again” is a masturbator, not a good debater. You do seem to have the two confused. I’m out. The only thing I was possibly confused about was whether you’re a really lame debater or a really, really lame debater. Thanks for clearing that up. ---

Got me to thinking, what’s perfectly opposite to “Ooooh, snap!”? Its gotta have a sound to it, like a bowling ball dropped into a giant vat of cottage cheese. “Ooooh, splub”? Well, not really a word, is it? Maybe we can come up with one, make a meme out of it, and it goes viral. We have to be sure to credit **Mags** with the inspiration, its only fair. ---

The fact that you, of all people would, would type that is quite humorous. Making it probably the funniest thing you’ve ever typed. But not for the reason you think. ---

Magellan, don’t be bitter at Asians just cause you were killed in the Philippines before you completed your circumnavigation of the globe. You should have seen it coming ---

Its gotta have a sound to it, like a bowling ball dropped into a giant vat of cottage cheese. “Ooooh, splub”? “Ooooh, gump!” It’s sorta onomatopoeic, but also recognizes **magellan** ’s mental and creative limitations. ---

I only hesitate out of consideration for Mr. Hanks, who is reputed to be quite a good person. ---

You should have seen it coming 🙂 I’m not the one that seems to have a problem with Asians. Nor do I think, like some evidently do, that one person in China speaking in broken English translates to all Chinese speaking in broken English—and because they’re to dumb to speak it fluently. But based on the looks of that girl, maybe I need another trip to The Orient. Oh wait, I think the article said she was in L.A. Maybe I’m due for a drive down there. ---

If you’d be willing to put enough money on it—6 figures—I’d love to prove your lame ass wrong with documentation that goes to both. Alas… ---

You have documentation detailing your mental and creative limitations? ---
