Girlfriend found out he was posting, and now the poor bastard is chained up in her basement, being told to shut up or he’ll get the cattle prod again. And I’m guessing **TubaDiva** , myself… ---

It’s definitely not me. All lower case is a deal breaker. I like a man who KNOWS how to type. The stalker idea sounds plausible. Or maybe he has a split personality and only THINKS he has a girlfriend who posts here, but it’s really him? Or something like that. (Would having a split personality count as a sock puppet?) ---

When the length of the solid is infinite, it is referred to as a triagle. It is an ‘n’-less triangle I don’t care who you are, that’s funny right there! And a damn good pun to boot! ---

Or something like that. > (Would having a split personality count as a sock puppet?) MPD is the reason I’m not sure that only having one account is fair. Most people who have multiple personalites don’t seem to realize it, so how can they be expected to share an account? ---

Clothahump, I think that you are his girlfriend, and if you are not, you should be. Should we vote on it? 🙂 ---
