Well, rain on my parade then. It took me ten minutes to think that up, dammit.  
Especially since I have never heard of that company. I thought you were doing a clever play on words there **tom**.

I am slightly nonplussed. 😉

It would be nice if he would have actually created us all equal to make it easier to participate in the Religion of Equality.

Plus it woulda been a heck of a lot more fair.

I’m annoyed about the ballsack. Penes are masculine and impressive (well, mine is, at least 😉 ), but ballsacks just hang around awkwardly and make the whole thing look silly. Especially when you shave off a few too many hairs. For that matter, where are my retractable claws and Spider-Man-style web shooters? I was sure we’d have those by 2005 at the latest.

Bastard owes me twenty bucks! Not only that, the last time he was over he drank my last beer and left orange Cheetoh dust fingerprints on my new microfiber couch. Oh, and I think the dog’s pregnant, too! I’m not letting that guy back in the house 'til he learns some damn manners… :rolleyes:

Dammit, quit posting! Quiddity Glomfester is tired of the same old axe to grind!  
Please only grind new axes… only completely new ideas.  
Quiddity Glomfester is tired… this has been done 5 million times before.  
What a creative name… Quiddity Glomfester. I love the funny location of Quiditty Glomfester… playing with Victoria… very creative. And the ‘rolling the eyes’ smiley is original, funny, and creative.  
Quiditty Glomfester: “Attacking my name and location… how original ‘rolls eyes’”  
Crinz: “Yer a fucking A-Hole”.  
Quiditty Glomfester: ‘rolls eyes’

(Sitting at a desk, reviewing Gods resume, Him in a chair in front of me)

“OK, we’re looking for the strengths you can bring to our organization. Let’s see here, hmmm “little green apples.” Yes, that’s impressive. Well thanks for coming in. We’ll be contacting the final candidates for further interviews and we’ll let you know either way.”

I can’t think why anyone would continue to believe in Guaranteed Overnight Delivery.  
[/QUOTE]  
_Believe_ in them?!

I’ve _seen_ them, I tell ya!!

And they’ve got a cool phone number. 1-800-DIAL-GOD.

I kinda like the idea of an overnight delivery service that also offers telephone communication with the Almighty.

If you put a ‘Fraternal Order of Police’ sticker on your car window and you get pulled over for speeding, the officer will let you go with a warning?
