A one-line vanity. How profound.

Too bad a picture of Onan the Barbarian would be censored...

Whew! Dodged the bullet of saying 'Too bad the Mods would jerk off a picture of Onan the Barbarian. That was too close!'

Actually the worst of humanity is best explained by the proliferation of extroverts.

“Too bad a picture of Onan the Barbarian would be censored...”

I have always found it amusing that Onan is the name of a company that makes reciprocating (nudge nudge, wink wink) engines.
