Hah! See? Everyone ignored my post. It's true, I tell you!!
It's hard, being a pie. Typing is quite a challange, f'rinstance.

See, I read that, but I don't know what to say in return. Maybe some of the perceived thread-killing is just making a definitive statement that doesn't require any response!

No, Lj, its more because you haven't been posting so often as of late. However, if you go back in time, a search reveals that you "killed" 6 out of 50 threads when you were a regular poster here. That gives you a an "LD50" of 12% back when you were in your cellar prime.

By the way, the word association thread accounts for only .03% of my posts. Do I win anything? Have I killed this thread yet? :p

no......cock would be literal. 'eat a dick' is more of a non associative insult. like 'go fuck yourself.' you don't really picture someone fucking themself.

I have no idea what a Hollaback Girl might be.

And I'm not going to google for fear of finding out. With pictures.

There;s a difference between killing a thread and making a post so inclusive and profound it is simply the last word on the subject and any further posts would be drivel.
