**Skald** doesn’t have to come to this thread. We’re looking for him, we’re gonna find him. If only he had left his t-shirt… ---

I’m still confused. 6impossiblethings4breakfast, you’ve mentioned several times in several threads that you used to date Skald or at least know him very well IRL. Are you saying that’s all a joke or am I being whooshed. Admittedly that’s fairly easy to do. ---

Hm. Let me see **splatterpunk** …Considering that my post was in response to **BottledBlondJeanie** (you know, the kind that comes out of the bottle, or the lamp when you rub it) I guess the crap I posted was to amuse, rather than to impress. (Serious answer. It seems posts have to be serious.) What **Myrnalene** thinks she saw is not a sock. Anything else as major as this fuck up your day, or are you just generally angry for no reason? ---

Yes, I get the genie in the lamp-rubbing the lamp-thing, but I guess I don’t get why anyone was supposed to be “amused” by it. She asked you a simple fucking question, and your implication that she has manufactured this belief that you were involved with **Skald** is ridicuous. You _have_ implied such: “Oh, Skald, what we had…” Don’t make me dig up the links. And I’m never angry without reason. ---

Maybe nobody was supposed to be amused by it **splatter** , except me. Which, in my world, is sometimes enough. BTW, I’m pretty sure the whole farce was admitted to on the thread in question (don’t make me dig up the link) so I really don’t know what the fuck you’re harping on about. The simple fucking answer to the simple fucking question that has curiously gotten you so fucking angry (not without reason, according to you; though it remains undefined) is this: \ ***BottledBlondJeanie** , I have never dated **Skald** , known him, or met him IRL. What you have read in what I recall was only one thread (though it may have been referenced once in another) was a spontaneous riff that simply evolved. Don’t feel bad if you thought it was real. Some people take everything they read on the internet that way. \*Clearer for you **splatterpunk**? Is that it now? Or is there some sock thing to deal with? ---

Trolls who are indignant are my least favorite kind, ranked lower even than trolls who smell of mint and trolls who pun. The best kind are the elusive trolls who give me money.
