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.

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.
