But only if you can find a piano with tits. The cat can be titless.

Maybe on your way out, you could punch a puppy, too. Wait, nix that; \*beat \*an orphan \*with \*a kitten.

Tear the leg off an orphan and beat a kitten with it.

We have a winner!

I think I started the first Sarcastic Answers to GQ Questions thread. Damn, that was a while ago.

Really, how is this thread supposed to exist outside of the Pit? Isn’t the whole, um, premise kind of hinged on making fun of other people–or at least their threads?

Again, when I did it, it was just gentle teasing. A suitable thing for IMHO/MPSIMS, I think.

I guess? I think most people would be worried about hurting people’s feelings, though, or crossing the line into something inappropriate outside the Pit.
