I was even gonna unleash my fabled sack of Yo Mama Jokes. Why would I pit you? Insects annoy me but I don’t pit them. Your obsession with sex and mothers really concerns me, have you thought of seeking some form of psychiatric counselling? Really, really expensive help? ---

What is going on here? The attitlude and egoistic responses here have devastated all the respect I have for the many people I know here. You guys are the reason why I am not going to resubscribe! So, buh! _1. Puppies are cute_ I really, really can’t stand those morally-bankrupt souls who value animals more than humans! Animals are nothing when compared to humans? How dare you! By saying that a puppy is cute, you are depriving a human baby someone else of his deserved praise! And oh yeah, btw, I find the _Chronicles of Narina_ movie fasincating. ---

One month isn’t dead. It was just resting in peace! _I must have found when I click on another link from another link…and thought it was fresh!_ ---

It’s not even a month dead… It was only started on 8/31, and the last post before **ExtraKun** ’s was on the 9th… Am I missing something? ---

Well, the point of this thread is that we’re being abusive for picayune reasons. Screaming at someone for reviving a thread that no one had posted in for three days certainly counts. ---

:smack: Color me whooshed then 😉 And two points for you for the totally natural use of picayune. I mean… You friggin’ fool, I knew that. You and your holier-than-thou explanations of something that I clearly understood and was only being sarcastic about. ---

What a pathetic excuse for bumping a dead, multi-page, hamster eating thread. And all because you can’t manage to come up with an original thread to post on your own, you lazy shiftless twit. ---

rayh. That a Missing Link could play the Links 2003 is pretty goddamn remarkable. Or to put it a way you’d understand: Ooo ooo greeet ah ah ah. I can’t believe I ate that whole bag of sour cream & onion chips in two days. ---

We can’t all live in our parents’ basements playing video game golf! Some of us actually go outside occasionally and, you know, play the _real game_. Not that I do, of course, because it’s a racist mysoginistic exclusionary game played by neo-con asshats. ---

> [@Maureen](#): > > Well, excuse me for having a life! That’s just such a heartless, unfeeling thing to say on the anniversary of 9/11 and in the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Katrina I’m aghast for your parents that they could raise such an insensitive oaf. Wait, what’s a female oaf? Oafette? Oafelle? Well, you’re just awful either way. I prefer Cream of Wheat to oatmeal. Must be because of Rastus. ---
