Wrong, next.
If she got a PhD that would give her the title of Doctor. If she was a Doctor we could call her....
Dr. Strangelove
... Stanley Kubric movie.... fuck you all....

Yes, Joker, we know.
Doctor Strangelove, or How I learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb.
I was right. You fucked up. Good work.
Oh, and welcome Strangelove.

Nice author choices, and Grendel sticks out of your music choices like a sore thumb, haha. Grendel and the Sisters are some of my favorite bands, though.
Welcome to gnet.

I think it's really swell of you to be so respectful to Mitsy and Geo like that.

If by "hammer" you mean "geeky dude's wang" or "geeky chick's strap on wang," then no, no I will not.

I'm surprised either can stick it in there if they are both death and blind.

Oooh, sorry, but it's "DEAF," not "death," you half-wit.
Try again next time, maybe you'll win A BRAND NEW CAR!

I know that, but those letters are close and I made a mistake.
I can't drive, nor do I want to.
And if I did, I'd want to run it over you and your exceeding level of arrogance.
But I'm withdrawing, because it's rude of both of us to continue an argument in this thread that belongs to this girl.

Honestly, I find it impossible to slip from deaf to death. It should have been something like deatgf at most.
But anyway, don't you two bring a petty fight into an introduction of someone that doesn't know you - this goes especially to Ophelia.
