I would advise you not to borrow any of Rick's 30 copies of that upcoming issue of Time. That's because with each copy he owns, the pages will be all stuck together.

sorry to be so mean to you old chap, but this is the season for me to be jolly, and you to be holy and turn the other cheek.

... careful about how loud you say "turning the other cheek" ... Sven might get the wrong idea ...

... not that there's anything wrong with that ...

RICKAMAVEN:

Yes you're right, 'tis the season. Good will to men, and all that.

So, in light of the season, I will turn the other cheek to your comments.

This is because I am better than you, and have long realized that God placed morons like like you on the face of the earth so as to amuse the rest of us.

Perhaps in another life you will be more successful than you were in this one. Then again, when looking over the sum total of your life's work, the bar will be set pretty low.

Feel content that Jesus loves you, Rick. And by celebrating this religious holiday, as well as (poorly) reciting Bible verses, it's good to know that you are a worshipper of Christ, and of God.

Merry Christmas.

"however, in spite of being guilty in the past as i have been, i will not personally attack anyone and i will not respond to personal atacks by dropping to the level of someone who personally attacks me, rather then my opinion."

"i hope i can refrain from acting the fool and expect the same response to me if i do act nasty to someone else personally."
