Quotes
"We ain't nothing more than tombstones with odometers instead of dates."
"It is being handled. Everyone, lean closer to your screens and type it together. It's being handled. I am not even pushing for correct spelling so Scourge Tanner can join in. "Itz bean handled." is acceptable."
"Cause this is what I heard. I am a fucking quitter. I am fucking quitter. I fucking quit. But please...please...please...respect me. Furthermore, Mr. Eddie Dervish Patron St. of Apologists....I do treat him as I have troughten him. With the same respect he gave, crying out for the kids to get off his lawn. His bitter and overgrown lawn that he groused about not having everyone respect him....shit his crying status...bullcrap. That was latin for nobody is respecting me. No one is listening to me. People older and wiser than me are picking on me and won't let me in their club...For fuck sake, Edward....if you are hearing something else....there is the fucking door. Follow his Kool-Aid shape "I Quit OOOOOh Yeah..." Out into the fucking night...like a broke ass Eyore following Victor the Pooh. He deserves as much respect as shit on shoe." On the rage quit of Vincent King.
Sometimes being in this clan is like being pecked to death by a duck.
"Now, long, long ago, the world was a big tittied woman..."
"Listen to me prattle onward....making all peaceable-like. Shit, call up Norway and have them polish off my Nobel Mother Fucking Prize..."
