I’m a fuckin’ black belt in ninjitsu, and I was a Navy SEAL, and I was also in Delta Force. I can kill a man in one hit with a secret technique. Technically, I shouldn’t even be talking about it. Currently I work as a security guard.

Well, I’d prefer coal to Skoal, especially when it’s cold.

Hey now, I’ve only been here two (well, going on three) months. Give me time! 😛

Actually, I don’t typically make threads anyway, even on boards I’ve frequented for years. All my thread ideas are usually taken, or I just plain don’t have any. I’m on the Adult Swim boards, and out of the three years I’ve been on there, I’ve made about as many threads. Though I think this board is a bit more conducive to my ideas, so I might make 'em more often.

I disagree; you’re always helpful in threads and don’t take potshots at people, or at their ideas. I know I’m getting a thoughtful, honest, and (even) gentle response when I’m reading a post of yours.

That said, I lack a schtick, and for those who do know me, dislike me. Just how I like it 😃

I hear you can also lift 50-pound weights with your penis.

You mean you can’t?

And it’s hard to not think about our bet every time I see Kevin Smith and his puny yard-per-attempt average.

Actually, until these last couple threads I didn’t know squat about anyone really. But now I know I really would like to go drinking with Swampbear some day (any dude that comfortable with himself has got to be a blast to be around) and I suspect Argent is me in a different timeframe/dimension.

I also think Twickster and MOL are both totally hot.

Let me quote myself and mention that I wish to be clear that he made the cherry filling himself. None of the canned stuff.
