And -- don't tell me -- it was you who provided that one last critical push that made them do the right thing.

They'd be plump in the dark without the selfless Iceknife, wouldn't they. I'll bet you're the only guy in San Francisco even trying to educate those poor ignorant radio dudes.

Funny, I'm one of those radio dudes, and to me it seems that all you've ever done is talk big, kick people when they're down, behave like a crossposting troll ninny, and generally gross people out.

Awwww. That Iceknife, a Man of the People. If only we could all be like him. A generation later there would be NO people.

Thank you so very much for the damage control, Iceknife. What a prince you are. And that's just ONE of the many things you do for the world.

Like you're "involved" in the Church of the SubGenius?

And this guy accuses ME of being a jack-off artist.
