Like, the partners are all so special they couldn't agree on one fucking brand? how do these people date? can you imagine trying to decide where to go to eat, or what movie to see?

As for your first sentence, it's so stupid that I don't understand how you managed to make your fingers (who would surely have come up with something better on their own) write it. First I bitch about people seeking attention and then I bitch because I have read what they wrote and have determined, after reading it, that they just wanted some attention. Same fucking thing, dumbass.

How the fuck do you know something is insipid unless you've read it? That's the point. Yes, I can and do skip long updates once I've noticed they are ridiculous. But isn't that the point of the complaint? Why post long or short insipid updates in the first place?

Now you're being a little bitch. I am not claiming to be an arbiter of all things anywhere. I am pointing out something that is annoying to me. Either disagree or don't. I don't give a shit. But don't post some silly shit about how easy it is to ignore something that is impossible to ignore.

And now you've gone off the deep end. This isn't about balls, although it's nice of you to think about the size of mine. The point isn't to hurt someone by attacking them over their dead friend. It's a simple observation about something I think is stupid. I asked a question about why it made any sense at all and Not Bob was the only one to offer up a response. I disagree with his response. That's it. Don't come jumping in at the last minute like you have something valuable to offer us all when you're really not saying shit.

Stole?

Precisely, my dear Sebby. That was my original point. Houseman and Auden can share their pain and loss for public consumption, but your cousin in Wilkes-Barre, whose bit of memorial doggerel is maudlin and mawkish, cannot. Unlike Starkist, we only want Facebook friends with good taste.

so if Stohl wants to hire you, it'll have to agree to yet another brand being stocked?

(Although, he didn't call the suicide, he did call the "not related to census" aspect. IIRC)
