You know who you are, and it’s getting tiresome. Now go away and leave me alone, as I simply do not have the time to keep up with you all.
Thank you.

Maybe you should ask yourself why people pick fights with you. Is it because you pick fights with other people? That’s one way to “set the tone”. Most people who don’t pick fights don’t get picked on, you know.

Well as my grandma used to say, you can pick your nose but you can’t pick your fights.

Too bad I can’t hang around, it should be interesting.

I think you enjoy the attention.
And the drama.

I like to pick my nose, pick my ears, even pick my butt sometimes. But don’t pick on Esprix!
If you have a problem, just tell him. But stop picking, ferChristsakes…
(except your nose, ears, butt, etc…)

Did you link my wife? DID YOU LINK MY WIFE?
I’ll make him a link he can’t refuse…
Look what they did to my link…
You take the blue link, the story ends. You take the red link, you stay in wonderland. And, I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.
Roselink…
Fasten your seatbelts, it’s gonna be a bumpy link…
Frankly my dear, I don’t give a link
Mama always said life is like a box of links…. You never know what you’re gonna get.
I love the smell of links in the morning…

I’m sorry, I lost my head, I don’t know what came over me. I’ll stop now.
Unless, of course, you wanna fight about it. 😃

Anybody wants a piece of Esprix goes through me. When I recently was having a very difficult time, struggling mightily with my emotions and sanity, I took leave of SDMB for a spell. One poster initiated contact with me to ask if I was all right, and to listen to me vent. One. And that one has my unswerving, uncompromising loyalty.
Thank you, Esprix.

what you’re saying, in your whiny little voice is:
“BASTARDS! BASTARDS! LEMME ALOOOONE, BAAASTAAARRRRDSSS!”
Our answer–“No.”
