I don’t think anyone would give two poots if I left and this does not bother me one bit. But I can kinda understand why a long-time poster would feel the need to solicit kind words if he/she is leaving, even if it is childish. Everyone wants to know if they’ve made a positive impact on people. It’s sorta like wanting to see what your own funeral. ---

I’m amazed you can think of anything at all, you fucking wetback. ---

Love you too, Katie. But I don’t need to be tipsy to think “what the hell.” That’s what the smack is for. ---

Wow, what a bunch of dicks. This is a revoltingly meanspirited OP, and my only regret is that it’s a parody, and not a statement of sincere intent. At least when **Lobsang** needs attention, he doesn’t try to get it by attacking other posters. How’s _your_ ego doing, **Demo**? Feeling all manly now? Everything all compensated for, or do you need someone else to bully? ---

> [@katiekilldare](#): > > Who wants to fight me for Demo’s right to have babies? I’ll wrestle you for it. _In the nude_! Demo, we know you’d never leave. Your people came to this country in the first place to get decent internet service (oh, and to avoid raising goats or doing donkey shows in Tijuana like their parents had to to make a living). Now that you’ve got it, you’re never going to give up a site you spend your hard-earned pesos to be a member of. Now fetch me a Snickers, bitch! I require sustenance. ---

I meant _in the nude_. Pretend I coded it correctly the first time. I mean it. ---

> [@katiekilldare](#): > > I meant _in the nude_. > > Pretend I coded it correctly the first time. I mean it. I’ll pretend anything for you, dear. As long as there’s nude wrestling at the end of the rainbow. You know I never kiss and tell, unless somebody asks me, or there’s anybody within earshot, so all I can say to you about Nell Carter is this: nipples the size of dinner plates. And believe me, just as satisfying to eat off of. ---

> [@Demo](#): > > Actually yes, I’m feeling quite chipper now. I don’t think I’ll leave after all. What a fucking jack-ass. Don’t let me stop you from leaving. Not only did you break the “no parody without linking to original thread” rule, you broke the “don’t be a jerk rule.” I’m hoping the third strike comes up pretty soon. At least **Lobsang** actually posts worthwhile stuff; he doesn’t just come in and piss all over with pointless and petty insults. > [@woodstockbirdybird](#): > > Revoltingly meanspirited? Man, you’ve got to be the biggest pussy I’ve ever seen. And I slept with Nell Carter. And who the hell are you, again? Go back in your hole and see if you can come up with something more clever than cracks about fucking overweight women who’ve been dead for a few years. ---

Not only did you break the “no parody without linking to original thread” rule, you broke the “don’t be a jerk rule.” I’m hoping the third strike comes up pretty soon… How is pitting someone for posting something that annoyed him breaking the “don’t be a jerk” rule? He didn’t post anything in the thread in MPSIMS, which would have been jerk-ish, he took it to the Pit, which, if I recall, is the place for this sort of thing.
