Whereas you never give us a chance to forget what a dumbass cumstain you are. Thanks, I guess.

A little slow as usual. Were you serving your weekend stint in County? Or was the library under a bomb threat preventing you from entering to use the computer?

At least on the occasions **Excalibre** tries to insult me, he is punctual and sometimes even witty. You, however, are just trying too hard to practice a skill you have no grasp of.

Aw, c’mon. It was a _little_ funny. Hey, at least I try. **Excalibre** is clearly just phoning it in at this point.

I would prefer “just trying too hard to practice a skill of which you have no grasp.” Nothing like a grammatically-correct zinger.

Just laying down a little wet line to keep the fire from spreading across the carpet in this room…yeah, thats it.
