Re: Maybe.... Joel Send a noteboard - 31/08/2012 06:18:32 PM
(e.g. Romney invoking Neil Armstrong tonight leads straight into my lengthy "Reaganomics is the reason we have done NOTHING but regress since the moon landing" rant, even though it began with the Energy Crises and Nixon ending the gold standard.)

See that? My eyes won't even look at it. They refuse. It's a disease. :P

Ah, but in whom...? :P

I would think that would be pretty obvious, given that they are my eyes?

Well, it could be some pathology affecting my writing, but...
However, it seems to be a common malady, no? :P
that possibility is undermined by this further evidence of its exceptionally high quality. :|

Good job though, responding to just the previous thought. :D

*pokes*

Thanks; see: I can (cosmetically) change. *flees before imminent axe-wielding*

My US history class was an hour long and I always got distracted by a butterfly or something. Joel - 30/08/2012 08:50:39 PM 555 Views
Did you just kinda compare yourself to the founding fathers? nossy - 30/08/2012 08:08:40 PM 664 Views
