Tell your parents to have the lead paint removed from your bedroom.

I drank too much vodka last night watching UFC. The pure comedy gold of this thread has cured my hangover. Thanks OP.

OMG that's hilarious. Is there a way to just put in someone's name and it will auto-generate that for you or did you actually spend that much time owning him? It's awesome either way I am just curious.

Despite his curtness - he just didn't know. No need to wave the "you're stupid" flag that so many love to bandwagon on here.

O.P. in the future, when you have a question, it'd help to be courteous if you think the answers didn't help - as you can see what attitude has gotten you.

Yep.

Until his response of:

The replies were pretty normal.

I guess i just wish there were less "omfgwtfbbqpiitb you're an idiot" responses to people - but i guess it does make the tools think twice before they go into ultra-tool posting mode.


Oh well :)

In the name of all things sacred and on behalf of all eBay sellers I beg you to close your eBay account and STAY THE FVCK AWAY!!!

Thank you for your cooperation.

Yeah don't ask questions and then give attitude because you're too stupid to grasp basic concepts.

Ebay Tip:

If you get any bidders from Nigeria, stop the auction right away and sell it to them. Sometimes, they make a mistake and send a money order for way over the item amount.
