By this line of reasoning, everyone who has ever walked into a video arcade
is an even bigger idiot; at least what I'm doing is free of charge.

My argument remains sound.

If Bur wants to flame a true idiot, he should probably look you up.  On the
other hand, if he's as good as you say, you're probably not worth his time.

Never read it; is it racy?

Whoa!  You're taking this alcoholism thing much to seriously, Budweiser.  I
hope I didn't hit a nerve.

Bzzt!  Wrong again, genius.  I'm not a psych major; I just maintain some of
their computer equipment.

As to the latter, envy of Troll's excuse for a penis or any other putrid,
weeping, crab-infested, tick-ridden, decomposing part of his repugnant,
bloated anatomy is beyond my comprehension.

As to the former, which is it in your case?

Yeah, sure, I guess I could have taken it to a machine shop and had it
rebuilt from the ground up.  Then I would have had a brand new piece of
shit that would have lasted another 45,000 miles before I had to do it all
over again.  Instead, I bought a Ford which has lasted me for the past 12
years, and is still going strong.

> You're a psych major.

No, son, not a psych major.  The rest of the arguments along this line of
"reasoning" have been deleted to avoid further embarrassment to their
author.

Oh.  The Georgia cracker takes offense at my "accent."  I betchyew got a
ole Ty-oter up on blocks in yer fron-chard.
