Now that I think of it, your little sister WAS pretty nice.
Did it take you long to get used to feeling hairy legs of another man against you in bed at night?
Naw. You were sweet and shaved 'em when I asked you to.
As luck would have it, my wife works with a gay guy in her office.
I called him and asked him to read your posts. Not just the ones on this thread, but your posting history. I wanted to be fair with you so I went to an expert on gayness.
It’s as I thought. This gay fellow, I guess you would call him a brother, informs me that there can be no doubt, you are in fact gay. He says that it’s obvious that you are stressing over your decision to out yourself, but that it won’t be long before you wrap yourself in a rainbow flag and loudly shout, “I am gay, I go by HumbleGay and I am gay.”
Anyway, this gay guy says that you should stay away from straight folks for awhile, as you adjust to your new life. He said that hanging around us normal people would bring out your anger as you try to deal with the new you.
Man, I am so sorry to hear that you are a full fledge queer, but, well, some folks were never meant to be real men.
Cheers....
Maybe you haven't been keeping up with current events, but the liberal media has been NOTHING BUT CRITICAL of Apple.
They lie, attack, twist, assault, defame, ridicule and character assassinate Apple every single day of the year. There is NO DAY which exists in which they are NOT so lambasted.
The liberal media is more supportive of Glenn Beck than of Apple. Wake up!
Please.... take it to emails... WOW.
I am sorry I had to even read that exchange.
And don’t tell me I could have skipped over it... I read 5,000 words per minute and had already seen it before my brain could shut off my eyes.
I'm glad he's employed.
I called him and asked him to read your posts
What did wifey have to say about them?
He says that it’s obvious that you are stressing
Yes, perhaps. I have to deal with odd folks online, you know.
I've thought about just logging off.
Anyway, this gay guy says that you should stay
That's sweet of you.
I’ll give you points for being clever on that one.
Now if you would please knock off the ~Apple folks are gay~ garbage, I’ll leave you alone and you can return to your Blog Pimping Killer hobby... or whatever you call it.
STOP..... DO NOT READ THIS.... It was the “hairy leg” comment huh? I understand, it grossed me out typing it. ;>)
Have a great day....
Done and done.
Have a good evening.
You too.
LOL. The occupation media and their sycophants (quite a few here on FR) get it wrong again. I keep wondering why these people hate (including the sycophants here) this very successful American high tech company and want to destroy it. Anti-Americanism and socialism (I repeat myself), always hide their true intentions. Congratulations Apple for being successful and creating high tech jobs here.
He got himself banned.
That’s a faked banned page. He’s not banned. Post a link to a blog and see how fast he shows up.
Do I have a LINK for it?
GOOGLE IT!
And search Apple and iPhone on the threads on THIS forum and see it for yourself.
Ooops, sorry about that last one... I though you were one of “them”.
And yikes.... that dude got banned. WOW.
But, those posts were taking this thread was way way over the line.
A faked Banned Page?
WHY would anyone do THAT??
LOL
Dang, I hate it when that happens.
