Their shiny mis-shapen faces, crumpled limbs, and lack of facial hair upset me. They make bad parents because they can’t play catch, they have trouble preparing food for their children because skin flakes fall off in the food. I don’t understand why the burn unit gets a special trip to the Super Bowl. I just think we should all be treated equally. While I’m at it, why don’t we make self-inflicted burning while under the influence illegal? Oh yeah, tell me about the first blowjob you received/performed. Sound familiar? Time and again **Isabelle** astounds me with her ignorance and inability to comprehend or withstand the realities of life. Her childish, poorly reasoned posts are a blight on the boards. Whenever I read her posts, I imagine them spoken in the shrill whine of Roseanne Barr. So far to my knowledge, Isabelle doesn’t believe gay people should have a special day at Disney World, Ozzy Osbourne disgusts her yet she had no idea he was a musician and had a history of drug abuse, and the final piece de resistance: she thinks panhandling should be illegal. Please add to the list of her idiocy because I’m fairly new around here. ---

Dammit! I’ve been wanting to pit Isabelle for weeks! Weeks, I tells ya. I’ve been sitting back, biding my time and who prematurely ejaculates this thread? None other than American Maid. For the record, American Maid, Die Fledermaus was better. ---

On the other hand, **American Maid** said this in the panhandling thread: “Geez, if Isabelle was president, we’d all have to be rich, sober, heterosexuals.” I know that not all members of the SDMB would support such an outcome, but if Isabelle could pull it off, she’d get _my_ vote for President. 😃 ---

All my drunken queer friends would probably be put in a zoo so Isabelle can poke at them with a sharp stick. Because she just don’t understand them gays dagnabbit! ---

They upset you? Damn. So sorry to intrude on your day. Do you have the slightest clue what it’s all about to recover from a burn injury? I’ve carried people out of buildings seeing the skin hanging off of their flesh as if it were soggy, shredded linen. Months, if not years of rehabilitative therapy await these people, and they will never enjoy life as they did before their accident, and you have the unbridled temerity to say that they upset you? ---

**danceswithcats** , she wasn’t serious. She was using the “burn victim” thing to parody **Isabelle** ’s posting style. ---

**danceswithcats** I provided a second paragraph in the OP explaining the parody. And I also provided links to Isabelle’s idiocy. I chose using burn victims in my parody because Isabelle tends to not like groups of people that make her uncomfortable (gays and pan-handlers). Personally, I have no problem with burn victims. Maybe reading the whole topic would help you see the parody, that or a sense of humor. ---
