Fucking stop it! If it’s lame or weak, don’t bother fucking posting it! ---

Mrs. Jackmannii is not impressed either. ---

Maybe it should have contained Lame or Weak in the title just to warn us. But then the title itself made it clear that it would be Lame or weak. ---

Gotta say, I appreciate it when somebody points out that they are discussing a minor bug-up-their-butt. Sometimes I prefer to read the pits about other drivers over the ones about the maniacs who killed their own kids. ---

I think it’s a good idea to put “Lame” or “Weak” in a title. How else can we weed them out from the rest of the herd? ---

Doesn’t the fact that you are fucking yourself imply consent? Is this some sort of left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing thing? I am all confused, and need a nap. ---
