Dear Nomomo:

Universal Rule #10 states,

"Do not EVER "link-and-run." If you post a link to something, always explain what's at the other end of the link, why it's important, and what you hope other readers / viewers learn from it. RULE OF THUMB: If it's not worth your time to describe it, then it's not worth our time to click on it."

Please edit your post to come into compliance with Universal Rule #10. Thanks in advance.
"Finally, for your rather strange idea that miracles are somehow linked to the amount of gay sexual gratification that is taking place would require that primitive Christianity was launched by gay sex, would it not?"

Sorry Shades, but you are wrong on this one. A complete explanation is contained within the Title & sentence within the post. It's back to the drawing board for you this time (◔_◔)

It's a funny picture of a baby with a fake beard with a concerned or perplexed or perturbed look on its face. You have to be kind of abstract in your thinking to appreciate meme humor. For example, I'm not calling you a baby, nor am I implying anything infantile about you. Rather it's the perplexed-perturbed look I imagine you having when someone violates a rule that has been routinely violated despite years' worth of efforts to get people to add a descriptor to their links. It's also a hilarious picture of a baby with a beard. When combining the insideness of the joke and a picture of a baby with a beard one can appreciate the subtle layers to the to the picture and my comment.

What makes this even better is your semi-autistic reaction to humor where you often miss the joke or you're overly beholden to small rules that you find particularly irritating, thus the perplexd-perturbed look by a baby with a beard. That does, in fact, imply that much like any baby lacks the capacity to understand nuance you lack the capacity to appreciate a picture of a baby with a beard in context of this thread.

Even better, now that I'm overexplaining a clearly funny or amusing picture of a baby with a beard with a perplexed-perturbed look I'm now the baby with a beard looking at the screen wondering how it's possible you don't get it.
