All I want is a woman to love me as much as Kanye loves Kanye.

Hey, he’s the same color as our Prime Munster.

I’ve found an explanation that makes perfect sense.

There never was a girlfriend.

There is no doubt about it, he’s gonna need a lawyer. When he throws the ’ love of his life’ off the balcony.  
The dude is obviously imbibing in some substance. Sleep deprived and high. The definition of irrational.  
I seriously hope that girl is reading the shit he has posted and is packing to leave.  
If she’s real, that is.

Following on from the OPs posts I’m not even convinced there was a bus, or that Canada is real.

I just barely managed to convince my girlfriend to let me post one last time, so imagine this message playing on repeat until further notice.

SILENCE, VERMIN! This is MY Pit thread! It’s the only place I’m allowed to post but it’s MINE! I decide what it’s about! I ASK THE FUCKING QUESTIONS HERE! IT’S ABOUT THE TITLE AND THE OP! YOUR REACTIONS! WHY WAS MY THREAD CLOSED AFTER AN HOUR AND A HALF!? WHY CAN I ONLY POST IN THE PIT!?

SQUIRM, VERMIN! 😃 😃 😃

You were doing a good job of pretending to be a fucking loon, but unfortunately the last one was bit too obvious in the trolling. Better luck next time. May I also suggest a user name that is a bit less of a giveaway.

At this point, I’m not even sure _I’m_ real.

Do not try and board the bus; that’s impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth…there is no bus. Then you will see that it is not the bus that you board, it is only yourself.

You misunderstand, **Spoons**. This thread isn’t about either the bus incident or the tepid response his quest for justice has received in meatspace. It’s about his shoddy treatment here on the Dope.

In his lucidly nonsensical viewpoint.

Omnibus nabisco.  
You missed the bus.  
We missed the bus.  
When’s the next bus?

You can mention who’s on your ignore list in the Pit.

I don’t see how the OP getting suspended or banned is a bad outcome.

She seems to have more smarts than you. Kind of makes one wonder what she’s doing with you.
