Excellent! Where do I sign up? I’m always looking to expand my repertoire of insults in foreign languages.

Heck is where you go when you don’t believe in Gosh.

I like yiddish insults the best:

“May you be so rich you have a house with a thousand bedrooms, and may you never get a good night’s sleep in any of them.”

Tell you what, Neuro. I’m gonna start a thread over in MPSIMS on this. Although it might turn into Pit Material, of course. And just because you made me laugh very hard a few times over the past few days, you’ll get the first 5 insults for free!

See y’all there 😉

Opal,  
I had no idea Jesus was so insulting! [http://fathom.org/opalcat/letters/bad-4.html](http://fathom.org/opalcat/letters/bad-4.html) I guess that’s what you get for not being a christian 😉

Opal, it’s just some people’s destiny to be flypaper for freaks, and it looks like it may just be yours, as well.

All I can say to comfort you is my old platoon motto, when I was in Headquarters Platoon in D Co. 1/5 Cav, 1st Cav Division at Ft. Hood, Texas.

Not the greatest way to make an impression with my first post, but I LIKE [www.somethingawful.com.](http://www.somethingawful.com.)  
The site is updated daily with news for gamers (guilty as charged) as well as links to what can only be considered painfully bad websites.  
From my understanding, the pranks that ‘Jeff K.’ (not a real person) pulls off are only at the expense of people who either spam him or contact him first. I do not doubt your post OpalCat, as he may be running out of people who contact him, but he does have some funny, if not incredibly unusual, humor.

Well, the registrant to that site appears to be:

So this JeffK is either a joke, or he’s letting him do it.

Don’t ask how I did this. Vee Haf our Vays 😉
