Whoever this latest incarnation of the Grapist was, I would like to complain. Why, oh why, couldn’t they mix it up a bit? Say, sign up as “The Limest” with “This post has been limed by the Limest”. Then we could have avoided this whole re-hash of the purple puns that we did before and instead venture into new territory … green puns!

I’m not sure why, but there was something oddly compelling and amusing about his acts of random graping. It is impossible to explain. Such is the way of the true genius.

A measure of his/her genius is the level of response it generates. His/her latest incarnation was only around for 1 post, 8 words and 21 nail-biting minutes (stupid, cheating, pesky sweepstake game). Few, if any of us, could grape with such effect.

The Grapist was only the most popular of his/her names, probably because of the horrible pun used in thier bannination.

Don’t you remember Mayor McCheese running around handing out keys to Mcdonald’s town or the Hamburgler stealing random letters?

If only all trolls were so entertaining!

(no, I was nothing more than a very amused bystander, I have no connection to whoever was doing that whatsoever)

I really can’t recall that.

I’m not sure about that.
