> [@PlainJain](#): > > OP stumbles back in drunk and posts a [link to Turtle Fence video](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qizNQKzatXA) 'cause at the time, it seems funny and thus hijacking her own thread. Response with link to [Banana Phone](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5C6X9vOEkU) with the explanation that at the time it was oh so apropriate. Muttering about other songs with even less point in common especially [Harry Nilsson narrates “The Point”](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHgj1uQ5FH8) ---

Post totally missing the irony of the quoted post and going to great depths to abuse the poster for attempting to make sense of nonsense in a “serious” thread. ---

The post from a crabby poster saying how stupid and pointless this thread is and how lame people are in MPSIMS. (Not that _ **I** _ would ever say such a thing. MPSIMS is my home.) ---

> [@gang\_green](#): > > The post where someone points out how rich they are, and therefore they are more right than anyone else, due to their income. post that points out that suggests they insert certain body parts in to other body parts and take a look around. Then a casual invitation to take it to the Pit if they don’t like it. ---
