Yes it was. But, I’ve heard from a good reference that Portnoy carries on an affair behind Opus’ back. ---

I just don’t like the new name, sniff sniff. It’s like he got beat up and doesn’t look like himself anymore ☹ I want my Mr. Cynical back. \< whine, whine, whine \> ---

Well, okay, that Mr. Cynical guy was a mean ol’ bastard, but did you really have to go and eat his brains? I mean, don’t you think that’s a little harsh? ---

You ate his brains, Portnoy? Well, this should be interesting, Mr. Cynical showed all the signs of MadCow, and brains is the transport vehicle for that. 🙂 So, we get to watch the posts of Pornot now descend into the incomprehensibility of Mr. Cynical.

Well, I have to say this. Portnoy has been used by me and my friends as a slang term for the male member. Remember Bloom County? Portnoy’s face bears a more than passing resemblance to the glans. If you don’t see the resemblance at first try sketching a face on one and then you will. It is soo cute. ---
