Well your lame was pretty pathetic.  You shouldn't expect any more

I think maybe I missed a meeting, I didn't know we were flaming
against one another.  If that was the case I probably would have given
out a classic like, "I cannot believe how incredibly stupid you are.
I mean rock-hard stupid.  Dehydrated-rock-hard stupid.  Stupid, so
stupid it goes way beyond the stupid we know into a whole different
dimension of stupid.  You are trans-stupid stupid.  Meta-stupid.
Stupid collapsed on itself so far that even the neutrons have
collapsed.  Stupid gotten so dense that no intellect can escape.
Singularity stupid.  Blazing hot mid-day sun on Mercury stupid.
You emit more stupid in one second than our entire galaxy emits in a
year.  Quasar stupid.  Nothing in our universe can really be this
stupid.  Perhaps this is some primordial fragment from the original
big bang of stupid.  Some pure essence of a stupid so uncontaminated
by anything else as to be beyond the laws of physics that we know."

I understand your need to dislike me and to think you've somehow
proven me wrong, who am I to deny you that anamilistic urge?

Well I suppose that's better than being as thick headed as you, huh?

Tell me, would you describe yourself more as a process or a function?

I don't have an attitude problem.  You have a perception problem.

Most fortune cookies I've received haven't been half as insightful,

(...) Hahaha. You got ever worse - where's this cleverness you keep gloating about? A Mystic 8-Ball has better comebacks. Concentrate and ask again. (...) I think I missed that same meeting - why are you flaming *everyone*? I'm for one sick of it. (...) (25 years ago, 7-Apr-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
