The spill in the Gulf Coast is way worse than BP told us. Wait, we were getting our numbers from BP? Also, the government has apparently given up on regulating off-shore drilling. Awesome.

I am glad to learn you are smarter than I — that bodes well.
Welcome Angela. I hope you have a thick skin. And listen to what Sarah tells you, as I think she has grown (as a reporter) tremendously. As an aside, I REALLY like the Lille ads.
GOOD AFTERNOON I AM UNEMPLOYED AND TEND TO WAKE UP AROUND NOW.
HEADLOCK ON EZRA WILL WIN EVERYONE OVER-ESPECIALLY WITH PICS OF THE AFTERMATH.
smarter than me. Dammit!
GOOD AFTERNOON ANGELA HOW IS YOUR FIRST DAY OF GOOD MORNING NEWS GOING? WELL, I HOPE.
ujfoyt concludes: “As an aside, I can’t help but notice that you’re a female, Angela, and but then I also noticed that the women in the Lille ads are female, as well. I dunno, just thought I’d point that out. luvin’ the internet today. btw, I’m old and I say stuff.”

“As an aside I like near naked young women. Would you like to be such a young woman, Angela? I mean, I realize you are here to work and use your brain, but I can’t help but be distracted by your lady parts. That is probably your fault. But,as I mentioned, I am old and I can say stuff like that.”

Well, to be fair, I think just about everybody likes the Lille ads.
Damn you 1% of the time, AdBlock Plus!
Lille, what is OHCAMELTOE
Kiala and Rom, I did not mean to insinuate anything with my remark about the Lille ads. You guys are reading way too much into what I say.
Or we’re just making jokes based around the fact that you quite often manage to bust out with some kind of tasteless comment (see, for example, a couple posts up, the one about Sauvie Island).
You make a LOT of comments about me, in sexual situations, in particular.
Please to stop or we will be forced to write more Ujifoyt Fanfic.
I never submitted any posts about Sauvie Island, and I’m sorry if I have offended you, Kiala.

“btw, I’m old and I say stuff and then totally forget what I’ve said. also, clicking is hard!”
