Both of them strangulate the English language in a strange accentuation ? ---

1. They both like to dance 2. They both went to the senior prom with a girl named “Midge” 3. They both make a mean chili 4. They both pick the soup with their meal, then wish they picked the salad. ---

> [@](#): > > Wow… big letter… foul mouth boy. > > If that is the best response you can give to a humourous association… then we know who the moron is. THAT’s your defense? “You’re foul-mouthed, ergo I’m right?!?” Well, fuck me with a backhoe and call me cum-dripped, your argument is brilliance on its face! Of course! A glorified variation of “I know _you_ are, but what am _I_?” Amazing! ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by SPOOFE \* > \*\* A glorified variation of “I know _you_ are, but what am _I_?” Amazing! \*\* Hmmm… the dreaded “I know you are, but what am I defense.” This one is obviously wise in the ways of the playground. He must have trained for many years under Master Timmy, known as the Bratty Dragon. There is no known sure-fire counter-attack for this defense, although the fabled “I am rubber, you are glue” maneuver has occassionally been successful. Good luck, young grasshoppers, as we are obviously dealing with a black-belt in Tae Kwon Taunt. ---

They both have a set of testicles. Both like whiskey. Both are Methodists. They both like Garth Brooks. They both fart. They both pee standing up. They like to start silly wars. Both rich through oil. Both are members of a conservative political party. They both like women. They like to fish. (I like Saddam’s method better, hand grenades are better than poles) They both think Michael Jackson is a pervert. They are both Dallas Cowboys fans. and… They both watch Conan O’Brien on NBC! 1230 Eastern 1130 Central Time. ---

Now I’m of the opinion that Bush is probably the person who most endangers the whole world at the moment but this kind of thread is just ignorant and pointless. I don’t know what you’re trying to achieve Rashak but if anything you’re doing more harm than good…☹ ---

My Mom is ugly and you fart in my direction ? You sure I am the moron ?! That is the best you could come up with ? You even forgot to put big letters to make sure everyone sees you “farting”. I dont want you farting in my general direction please… turn your mouth elsewhere. Geez… at least I know who my Dad is… ---
