So said "baa" on the comments to that post. Seriously: it cost, like, 57 million dollars to educate the crookedtimberites, and the quality of discourse over there could be matched by the staff of a typical canned-goods warehouse. If they really wanted to make my world a better place, they could have just bought me some hookers.
Speaking of troglodytes in the comments section, I took on all comers on this thread. Check out the smackdown I laid on Cheryl.
