Don't play, but being Croatian and growing up in a predominantly
Croatian/Yugoslav neighborhood in Pittsburgh PA, I was exposed to A LOT of
accordian music and polkas. Loved it! Couldn't go to a wedding without the

It's from the "all-animation" sixth season of B5.
Somehow I liked the Tick episode better than the
Simpsons episode. (Though what Bart does to
disrupt the Zocalo has to be seen to be believed!)
But the Terence and Philip episode ... no, I won't
go there.

Yikes! I'm 28, live in the DC area, have Polish and German ancestry,
and am in the accounting field as well. Were we separated at birth? :)
Actually you are exactly one month and one day younger than I. Still,
the similarities are uncanny. Where did you go to school? I'm a GMU

So by your definition, a "good" troll post is either:
a) cut-and-pasting the message being replied to as your response, or
b) writing "retard retard retard" a bunch of times, or
c) making fun of spelling and/or grammer(with generous usage of the
word "retard").
So feel free to pick apaprt my grammer or spelling, or call me a
retard, because it all boils down to you being a FAGGOT!
Oh, and by the way, "kinda" isn't a real word, RETARD!

Don't knock it, retard. At least now amw-a has a record - the newsgroup
with the most mentions of the word RETARD. You don't have to thank me.

Don't write stupid shit like a retard, and I won't call you a retard.
It's that simple.

It's a slang word, retard. Which you'd know if you actually had any
friends to keep you up to date on slang.
