Duckery's holiday festivities involve getting drunk and passing out in a trash can. In other words, like every other day.

The only fantasies I have about PJR involve PJR, you, a car with its brake line cut and a California cliff.

Hey Dink, Karla Rogers just claims you've written and posted poetry here in the newsgroups at some point... is she lying or is this true?

Hey Duckery, it wouldn't matter if I had -- none would be about you, so it wouldn't interest you.

So, you admit to having fantasies about PJR /and/ me... no surprise there, Orson.
They that have power to hurt and will do none, That do not do the thing they most do show, Who, moving others, are themselves as stone, Unmoved, cold, and to temptation slow, They rightly do inherit heaven's graces And husband nature's riches from expense; They are the lords and owners of their faces, Others but stewards of their excellence. The summer's flower is to the summer sweet, Though to itself it only live and die, But if that flower with base infection meet, The basest weed outbraves his dignity: For sweetest things turn sourest by their deeds; Lilies that fester smell far worse than weeds.

Your "vocals" sound like Popeye the Sailor if he decided to turn
homosexual and drink warm beer laced with dead bees the rest of his
life.
Your "lyrics" are about as entertaining as a prostate exam.
Your "talent" lays between the areas of seaweed washed up on the beach
and the question of "does a bear crap in the woods?"
Your overall "personality" is about as likable as Hurricane Sandy and
your ego is so large I am surprised you can intake oxygen into your
lungs for it smothering your person.
You should stop "writing" and "singing" and go into a field that would
be better suited for your "abilities"; goat herder or vivisection
tester, for instance.
