Right? At least I got called out in the Pit for the first time. I must have done something to really piss this trock off. Probably asking for cites or something.

There’s no need to start a separate thread for conservative trolls - you are quite welcome here.

Good thing we don’t have a poster named Circus Peanuts. (Or maybe we do?)

For those who haven’t noticed, not only is **Terwilliger** banned, but much of his _oeuvre_ has been cornfielded. He was banned as a troll but I thought there was a distinctive aroma of sock about him.

Yes, but you’re a talking horse. Your tastes may not be representative.

Wait, are horses even able to digest chocolate? Or maybe only talking horses?

The talking dog is just a stalking horse to float the idea of a talking horse.

One of my favorite jokes:

A horse walks into a bar and says “bartender, scotch on the rocks please!”

The bartender, rubbing his eyes in disbelief says “did… did you just talk?!”

“Yes I did, why?” said the horse

“Well, It’s just incredible! I’ve never seen a talking horse! You know, you should really go get a job with the local circus, they would LOVE to have someone with your skills.”

The horse replies “Why? Do they need electricians?”
