Premieres on Netflix August 16, 2024. (Netflix.com)

Oh, (Turn on the heat, then beat your feet,)

Tardsy! You’re back! On behalf of the board, thank you for the reprieve. I see you’re back to the Wahlberg thing again, meaning the other five stupid films will be making their appearance soon. Is it true that Beck did a song about you called “Loser”?
Hmmm, since you posted last Friday and the board doesn't show new entries on Saturday or Sunday, there wasn't an actual "reprieve", was there? Are you the one who helped G&GBF pick out the pool cleaning supplies? Thanks! At least now the gene pool's cleaner.
Logic is obviously not your strong suit, is it? There wouldn’t be a “reprieve” if the site didn’t take a break on the weekends for allowing submissions. Be fortunate to didn’t have to be reminded of this song over the weekend. Say, wasn’t it you who said crayons and glitter are above your pay grade? I doubt you could even pick up a crayon, let alone know what to do with it. Don’t start nothin’, won’t be nothin’.
By the way the phrase was written (albeit under my name) the implication was that you expected to be thanked for providing a reprieve, when any cessation was due strictly to the board not posting new entries on weekends. As to your other question, no, I didn't say that about myself. Don't worry, those with IQs over 100 got it, and provided you can find a patient one with tons of spare time, they can show you the difference. Lastly, no laughs for the pool supplies joke? Well, at least not publicly, huh? Say, here's a parody song idea: six painful ways to (not) off yourself. C'mon, the internet was right there. How hard could it have been? Darrrrrrrr.
Anyone agree with me that these scrawlings are all the work of one schizophrenic loner?
Are you talking about the comment wars or the constantly repeated song that prompted them?
Should we talk about more important things like your inability to admit the greatness of the OS, or the fact that no one cares about your “critiques”? Seems to be the consensus on the board that your arguments have no validity.
Hmmm, maybe I need glasses. Apparently I must've missed all the accolades the other members posted up for each rendition of your little song. I guess the majority's on to something there. As to your other contention, looks like that same group who has yet to give you the slightest bit of positive affirmation also neglected to show any "consensus" whatsoever regarding the validity of my arguments. Question: If "no one" cared about my critiques, why would you bother responding to them?
