32. yes but my post was clearly more detailed and goal-oriented. yours was
merely ALL CAPS.

now i am never one to criticize another's post, but MINE was SO MUCH better, hence the extra seconds it took to post it.

47. ZombyWoof, i am mad at you. in order to exorcise these feelings of intense
hatred, i am going to channel that negative energy into a new sitcom.

i'll call it "An American ZombyWoof in Duluth" and Burl Ives' rotting corpse will play ZombyWoof and Ivana Trump will play his love interest. His children will be played by several oompa-loompa's.

you're welcome in advance for all of the star exposure you're going to get.
