Ugh, I need my tea before I spontaneously collapse.
NS's aviation and train sabelotodo.
Post-left anarchist and sad about it.
Killdash, Firsthome, Coffee Cakes, SSC, GCoCS, Snowy, Val, Aeqy, and Replevion are my bitches.
Foot worshipper: Lutvikkia. Dakky's mom, I had her with Nana.
The female Jim Morrison; not as talented, but just as attractive and self destructive. The one true heir to the throne of the Lizard King.
Some poetry I write sometimes
Tearing the MBTA a new one since 2014. The MTA too since 2016. Cover the world in trains 2030

Mkay. I shall crawl into P2TM and join some RPs while trying to post stuff that's good to get to 501.


Think of it like this. Instead of simply drinking the milk, try using it to make something better than a simple glass of milk, like making a cake, or ice cream, or a milkshake, or cheese, or something like that.

That's not contributing something positive to the thread. It's as vacuous and useless as what you are telling others.

How about following your own advice?

It was a useless joke. Try to be more eloquent because clearly that's what you're asking everyone else.

I say it because, if you were of any memory, perhaps you can recall that people have made other non-sequitur posts and nobody has ever bitched about it.

Your posts have swallowed a page of nothing already.

I'm quite fond of the first cup, actually.

That first swill is the best swill, especially if you put cayenne pepper in after.

1. Indeed, and it's not that I'm bitching about your bitching. It's that I'm bitching that you put others at a standard you yourself cannot follow 100% of the time. So how about being consistent?

2. At least I admit I don't give a fuck about my posts. You're the one who's making a big deal out of everyone else's. And if you really want quality, I can push myself into you and make you write scholar's posts as well. You talk about quality, I can also talk about quality as well.

I've never really noticed a difference between first and last, unless it went bad in the intervening intervals of time.

Cayenne pepper? That's officially the oddest thing I've heard of.
