Shades of "We are Borg!"  My hypothesis that you are an experiment in
Artificial Idiocy is looking more plausible.  I have decided, however, that
Mr. Troll is probably an actual flesh-and-blood human (although he does
display the creativity of, oh, say, a PDP 11/70).

If your definition of "ass kicking" is, as I suspect, proclaiming oneself
the victor a la Saddam Hussein, then I have no doubt that I will be a
future "victim."

OK.  Let's take another merry romp through Mr. Bufalini's "hilarity":

Well, you got that right, at least.  (Although I suppose a more appropriate
forum would be alt.dicksuckers.troll).

God, he even found his way all the way here!

A joke, but not very funny...

Drive a piece of shit and put an American out of work.  A worthy sentiment.

I hope the person who came up with "I'd rather have a bottle in front of me

A fine institution.  I hear Alfred E. Neuman used to teach there.

Far too much of your bullshit not to "n" through.

I am truly in stitches.

You actually remind me of the Eliza program that used to amuse me a long
time ago.  One of the first stabs at AI, from what I hear.  An example:

User:  Do you still f**k sheep?
Eliza:  You seem very interested in me.
User:  How long do you like to f**k your sheep?
Eliza:  Yes, I like sheep very much.

Ah.  This confirms that you are one of:  a.  a botched computer program, as
I suspected before; b.  someone who has been living under a rock for years
and therefore has no grasp of the current vernacular; or c.  (and I think
this is most likely)  an utterly clueless idiot.
