Am I the only one who finds it ironic that your 667th post was spent damning your 666th? In any event, I am very proud of you. Go forth and… Well, do whatever you want… * * * Yer pal, Satan ---

Strainger – “Damn you, smiley face!” Okay, right there you are going to burn in hell! You DAMMED a SMILEY face! The very symbol for all that is right in the WORLD! Dear God man! Quickly run to the hills so that the bolts of fire and noise from the sky hit only you and not the rest of us righteous souls! In just reading this, I have probably burned the evil into my eyes so that I, too, will suffer your fate! Thanks a lot: this is the LAST thing I need! * * * Best! Byz ---

Ya know, since April I have made numerous attempts to be profound, witty, or hilarious. Yet, the post that ends up getting the most attention is a knee-jerk response to what is probably the most stupid OP I’ve ever created! * * * “Well, walk it off!
