Could we cut out the middle man (IRC) and just discuss what a fucking bitch you are on the open thread? Ha, totally kidding, GI! I had no idea you kids were so dramatic up in here! As a relative CT outsider reading this thread I'm reminded of a sign I saw in front of a business, it said "we treated the new girl like family, so she quit." I guess I'm trying to say that the CT posters remind me of a big dysfunctional internet family. I've always admired old money families for their ability to suck down another gin and tonic, and sweep unpleasant incidents under the rug to never be spoken of again. I respectfully suggest to all CTers that you go grab a croquet mallet, a G&T, some lime green pants, and learn to bury your grievances deep within your soul like old money would want you to. //I'm not a flouncer, more of a slinker, who leaves when my computer (it's an Altair circa, 1987, why do you ask?) crashes from all the bunny pix.

I'm tired of the sobriety nazis, If I can't drink and drive, how am I supposed to get to work? //To anyone reading this:this is a joke! I don't drive drunk and a young woman I knew was killed 5 weeks ago by a drunk driver. Don't yell at me please.

I left him a message, and I'm hoping he'll get it. His note to me was so lovely, I hated to think that I just now was able to read it and respond. Curses on Gawker and their damned redesign.

I don't know if you will get this message or not, but I finally figured out how to look at my private messages on Gawker, and I saw a lovely note you had left me in my private messages. It was regarding a year old joke that I had made that you enjoyed. That was so nice of you, and it really brightened my day! I hope you get this message...

I just read my messages at the other spot, you know the one with all the idiot Teatards who have little stars next to their names. I found the most lovely note there about two posters discussing a comment I had made over a year ago that they thought was funny. What a nice day brightener.

Did you know that Charlotte stole Johnson and Wales from Charleston? Your bankers craved our young chefs.

It's a little hard to get the bible thumpers on board when you're banging your mistress when your wife is in the hospital. I still can't figure out why he's not the pariah that John Edwards is. I suspect because everyone liked Elizabeth Edwards, and we never got to see Newtie's wife.

I've been working on a church grift for some time, but now I'm thinking I may have to do a Tea Party swindle instead. Any ideas?

Voila, may I present Keanu Reeves. They're both handsome men with zero acting skills.
