When I see people writing that way I just wish they were off of my planet.
I just want to slap the crap out of them.

From a forum that cannot be named:

"...you have established a precedence of such a practice. I'd get the thing plowed for your own piece of mind..."

I wonder how many pieces there are in that person's mind.

and they are such a pathetic isoar.

I could be missing something and this is just a new word? Something that makes your eyes soar upwards. I'm going to check and see if there is any such word because it is in reference to wind farms and they do block part of the sky. It must be a new word, right?
