Poll question: "Please tell me you're joking"
  • "Please tell me you're joking"

  • "Concern duly noted"

  • "You forgot the sarcasm tag"

  • "It's time to face the facts"

  • "Look at what the Freepers are writing now!"


How would characterize posts that contain these phrases?

6. "heart like a dried up fucking raisin"
I like that image!

Oddly, I thought the use of "fucking" here actually weakened the impact of the metaphor. But still, excellent point.

7. Live in my mind for 5 minutes...
"a dried up fucking raisin" brought a VERY funny and slighly disturbing picture to my noodle...if the profanity here is a verb...

You see why I don't sleep well? :rofl:

5. My least favorite thing to see on here out of your list is....

"Look at what the Freepers are writing now!"

I've always wondered if the OP's honestly think anyone here really cares what FR is thinking?..
