evil captor you are wrong. I have plenty going on and I like to fart around people. I guess I’m just a prick, but I like to annoy people on occasion. Making broad, sweeping statments like that is just plain wrong. Thank you.

Wasn’t it statesman, inventor, and founding father Benjamin Franklin who authored _Fart Proudly_?

Methinks that the President should announce national ‘Trouser Growl Week’ and we can all celebrate together. Imagine Condoleeza Rice tearing the canvas and getting a high five from the First Lady.

Where is the :windy: smiley?

I remain completely comfortable with my statement. You probably THINK you have plenty going for you, but the fact that you think farting is some kind of skill or achievement is a dead giveaway that you do not. I have yet to know a guy for whom this is not true.

It’s kinda like racists. If they think the color of their skin makes them better than others, well, it’s prolly all they have going for them.
