People always seem to think I'm upset about things on here and my answer is the same every time... If you actually get mad at the internet you have some serious issues.

Don't get me wrong, I can write some angry sounding posts when people start bashing on Tauruses (is that the right plural? ) but that's just because I'm a smartass. I can't imagine actually being mad at an internet forum.

Damn skippy. Anyone badmouths a Taurus, that means they're messing with my buddy Jon, and IT'S ON. I'll let em have it with a full set of caninnes, and when it's over, I'll hike my leg and finish the job.

You come on here spewing Taurus, it better be respectful.

You obviously don't know about the legend of VetteDrive/Bigmacs96 or you would understand. If you don't know about him, you ARE still a n00b.That's the thing about inside jokes, if you don't know what you're talking about, best not to comment.

But as always, thanks for playing.

Well the best part of this is regardless of inside joke or not.. his post was funny, (even without the elitest "good ol' boy club" inside joke knowledge so.. you have fun with that . Ill laugh at the rest of it.)

Thanks for Trying sorry no refunds for Squib rounds..



And if thinking something is funny without spending hours investigating every possible "Ancient story" connected to it makes me a noob..lol then put the orange stripes on my back bumper..

We do have to slap 'em around to keep 'em in line from time to time though.
Is it too late?.. did you slap them around already? I missed it

Aren't you a special little n00b. See, the thing about the inside joke is that it was not meant for you. You go ahead and giggle like a good little n00b, that's what we like to see.

Kudos for the "elitest" and "good ol boy club", big words for some one without a clue, well done and thanks for playing

FYI, sorry you misfired, that must be frustrating..........

Well Sir, I humbly apologize, but..If I as a "special lil noob" wasnt meant to get it and didnt get it then why did you waste your " high and mighty" time on 'PO lil Ol Me? (since you are being a bit Myopic in your responses..allow me to point out the obvious reference to another inside joke... so you dont miss it) and those arent really big words..but you just keep up the reading program and soon they wont be so big for you either.. the tough ones are Cain't and Ain't they sound so much alike.. but youll get em.. I have faith.

Sorry n00b, your 15 mins of fame are over, go play with the other n00bs now, we're done.

And as always, thanks for playing (also an inside joke, ask around about the meaning)
