    Mr Flibble is very cross.

    He shouldn't be. As hinted above, being able to write successful satire is a rare skill. But it loses its point if too many people take
    it seriously.

    And I wonder why you keep feed the "contributors"? Penis envy?
    WTF are you even talking about??

    If you want to debate with a penguin, that's your prerogative,

    "If you wanna pollute all ponds that is your prerogative"??

    You pieces of ungodly, hypocritical, nazi-retarded, insane, shit...
