Ok, I was with you up until here. Come on now.

You love it, hit-whore....wasn't it you who wanted to have a party to celebrate
his millionth hit? Any publicity is good publicity, right? And no doubt your
hit-o-meter is skyrocketing again.

Love is in building? I don't even know what the hell that means.

No, no no...you had to go and do it. Yet another douchy "You guys suck, I"m out of here" I hate to say it, because I think the "community" is a better place with both your mocs and unique ramblings, but if you're going to say goodbye then leave...don't repond to any more posts in the thread, and leave. Leave, leave leave. Quiet you!

What list...telemarketing list...Schindler's List...er...Sophie's
list?...Santa's list? Oh...I get it, your list of people to give a New Jersey
style beat-down to. Yeah, you're all about the love.

Where these douchebags are concerned, yes...or...just leave and never, ever come
back. That's right JLuggers, you're all douchebags. Screw painting with a
broad brush, I use a shotgun baby. Sure you guys are funny, I bathe in that
kind of humor, but it's not the humor, its the constant backpeddling and b.s.
that renders you douchebags. "We didn't do it!" You guys love to start $%*& I
get it, I even dig it, but own it baby, own it.

I don't think Mark needs your sincere endorsement, the man wears a kilt so his
integrity is beyond reproach.

So now you're going to impune the integrity of the judges? Hey, even I thought
Sneary was a bad choice (SMACK, I OWN IT), but I don't think he or the other
judges would skew the results because the public would equate an Eric Sophie
victory with malfeasance. This whole thing is really lame, way to take a cool
contest and dump all over it. It doesn't have to always be about you. At least
half the time it should be about me. You have a knack for dousing yourself with
gasoline and running towards an open flame. How many times are you going to
fall into the same trap? Guess time will tell, but I don't think this is the
end.
