Yup, just one side swears less.

This individual is so grimly humorless that I imagine hanging out with him would be about as fun as diving into a swimming pool filled with razor blades. This is a guy who decries Jesus Christ: Superstar as the work of the Devil, and who thinks "Mello Yellow" is a rockin', hip song. I'm sure if he dared to get real wild and listen to something like, oh, I don't know... Hanson, his head would explode. Save yourself the trouble next time, Runtu, and have a conversation with a donut.

Very high-order discourse.


What, is that supposed to be illustrative of your witty, fun-loving sense of humor? Maybe you should cue the laugh track....

Where did I ever say that I wasn't a Mormon? Further, you're saying, in effect, that I hate people who are very close to me, Dan. I really don't appreciate this remark at all. It's over the line, even for you.

The phony outrage doesn't impress, Scratch. Try it on somebody else.

I'm trying to decide which is less sincere: Scratch's phony outrage or my feigned sole victimhood. :lol:

I wonder when a major earthquake will rumble across American soil. I wonder when the volcano is about to blow. Closing my eyes -- Oh.

Sorry, folks, I tend to think outloud.

Oh.... Oh? Aha! Thanks, Dr. Peterson. Ha ha. Well played. I hadn't realized that, all along, your complaints about me, and about the insults flung at you, were merely "phony outrage." I salute your long-standing joke! That was a good one! You sure did have me going for a while there. I actually thought you might be serious about thinking I was "despicable" and what have you. It's good to know that you were just engaging in a bit of fun, jocular bonhomie. Tally ho, good chap.

Ha, Bob. I provided context and links. I did not manipulate quotes the way you have. Feel free to read the links for yourself.

Do you think that Mormons are pathetic, faithless, [sic] losers?
