_ **Two** _ talking dogs. Arguing about a talking horse. The SDMB is indeed a wondrous place, full of talking animals, as well as assorted trolls, sea lions, and other marvelous creatures. Although [with the disappearance of the last known sea lion here about nine months ago](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/hurricaneditka-is-banned/844679) and with no further confirmed sightings, the species is presumed to be extinct.

Why would you say such a thing about sea lions? I’m just asking for clarification…

I’m surprised no one has mentioned **complexfreeformd2r** yet, as they’ve come back from a two year absence to comment in two threads (threads they’ve started) that seem ripe for trolling (by them):

I was quickly skimming the thread and thought you’d said “… talking horse. Your t **e** stes may not …”

Makes for a very different comment.

Always? Yet you cannot show any of my posts being imbecilic, until one day I say something good about Trump and suddenly its …always. Right.

How about the one where you said that _‘Kanye would make a better candidate than Biden’_?

Or where you admitted to _‘liking conspiracy theories’_?

No?..

Fine. Why don’t you [choose one](https://boards.straightdope.com/u/suntanlotiontwo/activity/replies).

Let me introduce you to Hyperbole. Also, who doesn’t like conspiracy theories? they are fun to read.  
Still not Always.

I thought YOU were the one introducing people to Hyperbole.

(FTR, I don’t think of you as an imbecile. Or often at all, if I’m being candid.)

Ooh. I choose

Straight from the talking heads on Fox and out of your mouth.

Actually, even the talking heads on Fox are more literate than this imbecile. Every sentence is both factually and grammatically wrong, proving once again that if you’re an imbecile who can’t think, you usually can’t write, either.
