OK, that was excellent too.

The only way I can think of to improve GC is to make it everything it's not: interesting, entertaining, informative, valuable, worthwhile...

So yeah... strippers should do the trick.
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.

But don't let facts get in the way of your delusions. You wouldn't entertain me near as much if you started being a reasonable person.


That's funny. Because he said you were Will. Hmm, I guess he was lying.

Sometimes I think he goes overboard with that stuff, to tell you the truth. Maybe he does it on purpose. I'm not sure. Don't get me wrong. I like his writing. I think it's good. Just sometimes he uses too many big words and long sentences for my tastes. I've never seen why people think I'm his sockpuppet, except that I've defended him when you folks attack him for no reason.


Will, we all know you have several writing styles that you use to post. Sometimes it's the florid wannabe scholarly pedant voice, sometimes it's the calling women the C and B-words voice, and sometimes it's the desperately trying to be calm and pretend you're not Will voice. There's something to love about all of them!

Yeah, wasn't it Will who made threats against Runtu and harassed him at home?

How would we know...his articles keep getting binned...
Next time he gets published we'll have to check his writing style with yours for comparison, guess that won't be anytime soon...

I think most posters here could answer in the affirmative to that one...
