What the hell, posting here is a lot better than mowing the damn grass. BTW: When will they genetically engineer grass to only grow to a height of 2-3"? That’s too F\*\*\*ing long. ---

[indignant rage] Post padding! How dare you all? All our posts are supposed to be brimming and weighty with _quality_, like mine [/indignant rage]… Oh, well, except for that last post in the 10,000 thread… or the etymology vs. entomology post… or the post in the medieval vocational counselor thread… Um, er… just carry on like I didn’t say anything, OK? 😉 ---

I’m just so ashamed of all of you, I mean all of you non-newbie-ish people shamelessly padding your post counts with such silly things. … Okay I’ll stop now, but can we at least have a party while we’re at it? I have beer, and I’m sure we can get some naked guys, right? Kitty ---
