Boy does he ever look foolish with everyone reloading his profile every 5 minutes to see if he’s online or not and posting regular updates. Has it really reached the point that now trolls can expect to be fed without even giving us a little entertainment in return for the much-needed attention? Geez people, make him work for it. It’s a lot more entertaining for everyone. ---

> [@andros](#): > > Oh thank og. For a second I thought you were throwing goats into the quarry. I once visited a sad “zoo” on a Cherokee Indian reservation–it was a room containing a cage full of Nubian goats, a cage containing a constantly pacing tiger, a cage full of ringtail lemurs, and several deep concrete pits containing brown and black bears. There was a dispenser that you could buy kibble to feed to the goats, but I thought about how unfair it was that there was no dispenser to feed the tiger a goat. ---

He can’t go back to the greasers. The best he can do is pick up the pieces. ---

I’ve made my points. I think [this](https://youtu.be/l8IkbCeZ9to) sums up **SamuelA** ’s actions of the whole event nicely. Tripler Well, back to normal life. ---
