You’re a bunch of guys without a glimmer of of a hope of even a bit of a life.

I’ve been watching chnnnellll cinemax. I hate to say it.  
But, on the broader terms: Life!

Bla-blaaa…  
But would YOU defend the right for “that guy” to express himself… with your very LIFE?!!

In betwixt the "Ewww!"s and the "Fuck off, dipstick!"s, yeah. They usually say it while stifling a laugh, though.

So when this joker inevitably gets thrown roughly out of the side door into the alley, do we throw his pants out after him?

Or do we just cut them up and use them to polish the silverware?

Can anyone make sense of what he is saying? His other posts haven’t been like this. Perhaps he was trying to see what public reation would be…Or maybe he is just drunk.
