Did anyone find a commodity except gasoline that was the same price or cheaper than the year they were born? That kind of gives a different perspective on the next argument when someone uses the term "greedy oil companies".

I thought the site was interesting. The next time someone has a birthday you could print a sheet out for them.


Yakko you little dweeb, no one cares a wit that you don't care. Oh that's right, you are a postcount whore. That can be the only explanation for your stupid posts.

You obviously care. Why else would you follow me around reading so many of my posts and responding to them? Unless you are just replying to up your post count.

I don't clearly remember what was going on 5 years ago, let alone high school. I'd rather not post what the prices were when I was born since someone already posted it.

Yakko, I started this thread if you hadn't noticed. Your postcount attention whoreing posts were not wanted, needed or desired in here. No I don't care about what you posted except that it was as stupid and idotic as are most of your posts. I'm sorry you have such a desperate need for attention but post whoring won't get the type of attention you want from me.

When you start to post something useful you won't be in my sights. If you don't like it, change your ways or learn to deal with it twerp.

I've worked for the same company longer than most these posters have been alive.

Yes you did start this thread and it is such a useful one. The world is a much better place now that you have posted it here. If you didn't care about my post why did you go out of your way to respond to me? Also where did you ever get the deluded idea that I wanted attention from such a person as yourself?

Yes, some people seem to have found this thread interesting though I wouldn't be so stupid as you to say the world is a better place because of it.

The only reason I care about your posts are that there are so many of them and the great majority of them are stupid idiotic attention whoring postcount++ posts. Little twerps like you and your need for attention irritate me. No one cares that you didn't care what happened on the day your momma gave birth to your litter. You clutter up the forum with your crap. If you don't want my attention stop posting crap in so many threads. That's so simple even you should be able to get it. Even Paulson could mature and admit that nefing the forums was stupid Why can't you do the same?

Let's see Yakko, I was talking about a person who makes stupid idiotic attention whoring postcount++ posts. Yep, that must be you Yakko. If I had any respect for you I might take some care with your name. Nefs do not deserve respect.

I am far more then just a nef. I do a great deal of answer questions and help other in other forums. But you are to short sighted to see that. call me what you want, i just find it amusing you are taking things so personal on this crusade of yours.

Yeah Adul. Of course you posted pretty much the same thing as everyone else in this topic but because the great and powerful etech (Yes that is sarcasm.) has said your posts means less because he is attracted to you.
