You don't need to toot your own horn to make you feel better about your wife leaving you. Seriously?

the frammisgoshes should be distimmed because a frammisgosh is like a farble,
and distimming is like gosketing, and our ancestors always gosketed the farbles.

Seriously, I think specialk420 should spill the beans and share the dish. In the blue--for posterity's sake.

It was the "Rusty said cunt" thread. Good times.

It was specialk420's lament over rusty calling him a dirty word.

Yeah, me too. I really should spend all my time here, but then I'd lose my job and wouldn't be able to afford internet access. Dilemmas, dilemmas.

It has been brought up before, but there definitely would be an audience for lofi meta, I mean, this is where the magic happens. The site that cannot be named doesn't quite match the pure stupid chaos and flame-feasts that occur in deleted meta posts. I figure it's because there are only veteran, wizened members who feel trapped together and start acting like monkeys crowded into cages.

Good question. The important one, though, is how low can you bend back for a facial?

XQ: Some parts may be shit, but it's entertaining shit. Perhaps finding effective poo-flinging venues that are somehow off site, yet accessable, would allow some of us to play, and some of us to be serious, though I figure most people do both.

I posted to the now deleted jonson why is it so boring here now and why doesn't somebody do something about it? thread. The specialk420 dish reference was to his personal Arnold banged a friend of mine story. I assumed this would be long gone and suggested he spill the beans in the Arnold thread. He did so.

Three? I'm at one so far.
