I had you pegged as a guy that drinks Adderal and coffee, the same way you're supposed to drink soda and mentos.

I just took 3 seconds to google Adderall in order to understand what you are getting at, and because I care about this place, and I have to inform you that you are wrong all all accounts. I've never taken Adderall, I've never been prescribed it and I have never taken drugs recreationally. I don't drink coffee because the stuff acts as a laxative and because I haven't been able to pull the trigger on a Keurig because I hear they are built like shit and break down all the time. I have considered buying a French Press though so that's something. I seldom have a soda because it just tastes like a can of sugary shit and makes me thirstier. I don't like mentos because I find it annoying how they grind against my teeth, like nails on a chalkboard sort of. And because they taste like shit.

You do not know what the correct phrase is. It's "jonesing" not "jonesyin". From "Mr. Jones" a slang term for heroine.
It's slang term for a female hero? I've heard of it referred to by a lot of terms (smack, H, dope, China white) but never that.

So I stand corrected. (Well, I can't really stand, but you know what I mean.) So It's "Jonesing for a fix," but I still felt, since Jonsey was sending it to me (starburst, not heroin) I felt the pun worked.

And what you did was exactly right to create a "teachable moment," you explained something was wrong, and showed what the correction was. And we both learned something.

However, it also means I get to bust your balls when you misspell "heroin." By the way, has anyone seen the "the" that Flack wanted fixed?

Oh, I do. It stays in the diaper until they change me. Sometimes it's [CENSORED], and other times it's [CENSORED]. I know a great deal about shit, and ways they [CENSORED] it when its together, Especially when [CENSORED], [CENSORED], or [CENSORED].

I think Retro has been the MVP of the forum. He's in the running. And I am not saying that in a smug manner. I mean that he advances conversation.

Isn't that what it's about? I don't like some of his more caustic insults, sure. But he's advancing the narrative.

Absolutely. I think Retro has done a fine job.

Oh I love his insults. He's very funny when he gets so "rip roarin' angry," and proceeds to tear me a new one. Then he lies (to himself, mostly) and says he's not angry. You can't post the kind of soul-tormented anguish he did when he declared I was worse than useless and my dead body was so toxic it would contaminate caustic waste, unless someone has really pissed you off.

That's beautiful prose, and it only comes from soul-crushling anger. That's why I said he's funny when he's angry, because he is. He releases his innermost hatred, and spews it, letting the chips fall where they may. And his expression of anguish is so comical.

RetroRomper is like a diamond-in-the-rough, and I hope to continue to annoy err I mean polish him more, so his brightness can shine.

This is obviously a troll. We all know the MVP this year is either going to be Tdarcos, Flack, or Finsternis. It's probably going to be Tdarcos because what is this place if not somewhere we can all throw stones at a morbidly obese man with declining mental health?
