I have never done that, groupie boy. Any examples to the contrary are,
of course, welcome. You come rushing to defend the name of Breton as if a
cattle prod had been spiked into your ass.

You offer no ideas. You have nothing to say of your own. You chant
Breton's name like some sort of holy mantra, and repost URL's as if it
will magically put ideas or insights of your own into your head.

I hasn't worked to date, and the prognosis for the future is bleak as
well.

What utter horseshit.

That's a lie, Roger, a dirty, defamatory sort of lie.

Dale comes rushing to defend the name of Breton as if a cattleprod had
melted into pools of anthracite and was lovingly scooped up by phone
booth potatos umblically attached to the Inner Rectum of The Surrealist
Project.

In the future, please try to avoid confusing Dale's actions with what he
means.

Please deliver yourself to me for my decadent pleasures posthaste.

I am so very sorry. I will offer a retraction and restitution immediately.
