Of remarkable **boners**  
In coding replies.

Butt-Head _munched_ upon  
Some phallic object; _Beavis_  
Made **annoying** sounds.

Am I _annoying_  
The mods by **bumping** this thread?  
But it’s so much fun!

And besides, it’s not like I’m the OP. 😛

Some of you can’t **count**  
to five never mind seven  
_bumping_ head might help

_bumping_ in to **walls**  
is a stupid thing to do  
you just won’t get through

and now for a little extra:

now pick your poison  
your choices are walls or count  
maybe one with each

put your guns away  
americans hate the truth  
and the world hates you

I don’t think that’s true  
there must me someone out there  
that just dislikes you

I am just teasing  
don’t get all bent out of shape  
most of you are good

It’s on Threadspotting???  
When I nominated it  
Could only hope… YAY!!!

**twasnow** , I can _count_  
At least to fingers’ extent;  
Must **head** meet _wall_ now?
