Verry depressed is exactly how I would describe my state after reading that
outragious description of the bitch. verry depressed. we should seriously
consider filling the bath to the brim, bringing the blender in.Toss in
humor, irony, hyperbole, satire, and comedy, the doctor, the nurse,
and Anything that can't be trimmed to a tight and tidy smirk, perfectly
packed in the chancellor's alligator purse, must be plunged down the drain.
After a good jolting. That includes you. What? You didn't think you'd be
saved....you?

Spam spam spam

Spam I am
 Green farts and lamb

Kids, it's a fools game. You make your own rules and you enforce them on

Don't expect the rest to play your song.

We can all plat here. Here is space enough. Delete, block, ask folks to
clean up, get into plain text....the List is an old tub, can't serve us if
we toss everything in. But who are we to demand service?
