Nothing proves that you are mentally balanced like a violent attack. The only thing that can top it is threats of violence over the computer.

Now, let me see how this goes again .. I call you out on the fact that you're hiding behind a computer screen and you can act as tough as you want .. for flavor, I can add a comment about how you were beat up in junior high/live in your mothers basement and play D&D/are a 98 pound weakling/or something implying sexual ineptitude on your part.

Then, you write back with a lot of machismo and chest-puffing and say something like "I'm X'X" and XXX lbs" and then threaten physical violence against me, pointing out how easy it would be due to the fact that I am a homo/hippie/communist/pansy. You will also drop the f-bomb quite a bit, as you believe that swearing amplifies your masculinity.

From there, it just degrades ..

At least, that's how I remember it going when I was 14.

You have in one simple sentence proved my point completely.

The "Top 10 Reasons to Adopt a Penguin" is hilarious! It never would have occurred to me to buy a penguin, let alone that there might be a website that actually sells them. Is this for real?

I better keep this link away from my daughter, or I know for sure what she'll be begging for for her birthday!

The phone number on their contact page is bogus...

I think what makes a web site like this funny is that you don't know for sure if they are fooling you or not...

It's kinda hard to guess TTn's weight from this picture - he needs to take his shirt off and try some muscly poses, preferably with intimidating Pro-Wrasslin-style grimacing:

This is the face you would see, while I kicked your ass.

BTW I have found out where some of you live.
