> Listen, you pusillanimous pile of puke, there is no pile-on. Your half-assed cock-up of a thread, while interminably lame, is more pitiful than provocative. Because this board does less nasty dogpiles and more puppy toe-biting these days, there wasn’t even any snark in your original wordfart, thus making this poor thread even more pointless. I wasn’t even going to post this, but your puerile LOL that so eloquently introduced your most recent post was akin to the feeling of dread one gets before a bad case of diarrhea. Naturally, everything went to shit, but yet my annoyance remains, like the little dingleberry that could.

If I wore a hat, I would take it off in deference to you, and this post. Bravo!
