DU is getting un-readable

[dbackjon]

It is utterly disgusting the amount of hatred that is spewing on this site towards ANOTHER Democratic, a man that has voted Democratic 90+% of the time. A man with SOLID liberal credentials. This place is in danger of becoming FreeRepublicLeft - and our chances of regaining power in November will be all the worse for it.

I get that some of you don't like Joe Lieberman. But the personal attacks on him, the name-calling, etc makes me ashamed to be associated with this site. We are better than that. We CAN disagree and be civil, and should, if we consider ourselves a viable and better alternative to what is on the right.

[Rex]

1. You mean Joe the Mole?

Sounds like sour grapes to me.

EDIT - Rextrodamus predicts a 200 post count for this thread.

:popcorn:

EDIT EDIT - What is highpointing? Anyone?

[dbackjon]

138. We are getting close

My most popular thread evah!


Highpointing is a hobby - going to the highest points in states, counties, countries, etc.

[Rex]

150. If your thread does hit 200, I'm buying a 1-900 number and becoming

Mr. Cleo - psychic guide to the star's dogs and cats! Maybe I'll call myself Meowsibub!

Thanks for the 411. So you are kinda like a mountaineer? Nice.

[dbackjon]

168. Any sort of high point - in the South, the high points aren't too high :)

[WilliamPitt]

176. It's at 182

now.

[Rex]

180. I'm gonna try and be # 200.

Time to bring on the Rapture! :crazy:

The actual number is like 208.

Face it. You're a total failure.

[xmas74]

194. got any left?

[senseandsensibility]

3. Just curious

How do you feel about his Rovarian dirty tricks today?

[dbackjon]

39. the assumed dirty tricks?

IF he really did it, shame on him. Not ready to lynch him yet.

[me b zola]

100. LIEberman doesn't have any trouble attempting to lynch Lamont for it

You're backing a dirty dog.

[Selatius]

4. They're generally pissed off for threatening to circumvent the primary

By running as an independent.

It is the kind of vitriol you usually see when Nader is the issue, except it's Lieberman who threatens to splinter the vote.

[dbackjon]

45. I wish Lieberman hadn't done that either

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

5. He was a liberal once, but Joe the Mole is a liberal no longer.

[kaygore]

When was Lieberbush really liberal?

He supports Alito and Roberts; he got involved in that Terri Schiavo mess; he sided with big business on the bankruptcy issue; he is in favor of the Republican "solution" for Social Security. His support of the war is the least of his problems! His betrayal of not only the Democratic Party but his constituents and the country is breath-taking. His hubris is of epic proportions! He is an embarrassment to himself, the Party, the people of Connecticut, the people of the United States and to all human kind. I look forward one day to dumping urine on his grave!

He may have voted with the Democrats on the idiot issues, like flag burning and gay marriage, but when it comes to issues that undermine the Constitution and which support big business against the rights and health of his constituents, Joe is red, red, red--so red that he looked like kissable lips to Bush.

No, don't defend Liberbush. He is a Democrat in name only and his running as an independent shows this and emphasizes his sheer arrogance.

Voted with Democrats 90% of the time. Maybe when Democrats where in power. Liberbush is a power junkie. Not any more.

I am embarrassed for the Democrats that went to Connecticut to support him. They have no moral authority in my eyes any more and I have un-subscribed from all Boxer sites. I hope that some true Democrats will run against these traitors.

LieberBUSH is a soulless bastard and he deserves all the negative comments and spittle we can lay on him.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

108. I'm referring back to when he first got into politics.

Like in the 1970s. He hasn't been liberal in the senate though.

[kaygore]

118. Yep, that's been my take on LiberBUSH as a "liberal"

[WilliamPitt]

6. You're new

I can tell.

This...this is tame.

Joe sucks rancid platypus balls.

See? That's me getting my freak on.

Take a breath.

[wicket]

19. "Joe sucks rancid platypus balls."

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[WilliamPitt]

26. The real question

What does a non-rancid platypus ball taste like? I mean a platypus ball that's all nice and fresh and new. Does it...like...taste better?

Ask Joe.

Yeah. I said it.

;)

[Beetwasher]

38. It Depends

W/ or w/out the smegma?

[WilliamPitt]

72. Definitely with

Jeez. What are you, some kind of commie?

[mikelewis]

40. Surprisingly like chicken...

...but they must be real fresh otherwise they taste a bit like frog legs.

[endarkenment]

54. The real question is

when sir, did you stop eating platypus balls?

[WilliamPitt]

60. Right after I stopped beating my wife

with platypus balls.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

189. Will, this is just for you...

By the way, did you know that male platypii are venomous?

[uppityperson]

195. but are they rancid?

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

201. I don't know, but you're kind of limited by google images.

If I put in "rancid testes," I get this:



:wtf:

[symbolman]

204. Are those platypus balls?

THey look like Grandma Candy.. the kind you see in a glass bowl that only oome out in one huge clump, so you put them back.. because they may be rancid..

I swear I've seen those in some of my Halloween candy as a kid.. :)

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

208. They're actually bull balls, but it's the best I could do.

I hope you weren't getting them in your Halloween candy.

[meisje]

Is that better or worse than a cretin?

[WilliamPitt]

81. Is what?

Is sucking rancid platypus balls better than being a cretin?

Tough.

I'd say 'cretin' is worse. Barely.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

112. Well At Least Rancid Platypus Balls At Some Point In Their Existence Had A

purpose, whereas cretins have always been utterly useless...

[WilliamPitt]

120. You make a sound point

'Cretin' is definitely worse than rancid platypus balls.

[mike_c]

50. Will, you're gonna hate me for pointing this out...

...but strictly speaking, platypuses (platypii?) do not have balls. It's true-- males have their testes in their abdomen-- no scrotum. Sorry.

[WilliamPitt]

57. Hang on

No scrotum does not = no balls. Platypii have balls. They're just...floating around in there somewhere.

Keeps 'em fresh.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

59. Hope Ya Don't Hate Me For Pointing This Out, But Testes Are The Damn Balls

[mike_c]

89. yeah but if they're not like, dangling on the outside...

...are they really balls?

And this thread is probably the most appropriate place to consider this question, I think. :rofl:

[WilliamPitt]

94. Balls are balls

It gets cold in Boston, and my boys go inside to stay warm. They're still there. They count. They matter.

[mike_c]

110. indeed....

I am ashamed to have brought the matter up. In a manner of speaking.

[Critters2]

111. But would Joe be able to suck'em

See, that's the issue....Does Joe suck platypus balls--rancid or otherwise--if said balls are not readily avaliable? I think you can see the problem.

Critters
who can't believe sie's discussing such a thing in public

edited to correctly place a question mark.

[WilliamPitt]

117. Oh, they're available

Joe just has to tear the platypii apart to get them. So not only does he suck rancid platypus balls, he also savagely slaughters platypii to get them.

I really have no idea why the OP thinks things are uncivil around here.

[Critters2]

122. I don't see Joe making that kind of commitment, myself nt

[mike_c]

152. or simply stick his head up it's rectum...

...in search of rancid balls.

on edit-- up its cloaca actually, I suppose.

[Critters2]

185. Okay, THAT he might do

Seems to have some experience in that area.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

119. If You Were Talking About A Punching Bag, No. But We're Not. We're

talking about balls. Testes are testes, balls are balls, marbles are marbles.

[Critters2]

62. You're right

I hate you for pointing that out.

Do manatees have balls? Cuz, that image works just as well for me.

[returnable]

156. This is why I love DU. You learn something new everyday

:hi:

[uppityperson]

170. just had a teenfriend ask what I had learned here today.

Didn't dare tell her.

[WilliamPitt]

174. Yes, Virginia, platypii *do* have balls.

[mcscajun]

192. You say Platypii, I say Platypi, Let's call the whole thing "balls"

There is no universally agreed upon plural of "platypus" in the English language. Scientists generally use "platypuses", "platypoda", or simply "platypus". Colloquially, "platypi" is also used for the plural, although this is spurious pseudo-Latin. (The true plural would be "platypodes".) -- from Wikipedia

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

52. For Sake Of Petty Unimportant Details, The OP Joined In November Of 2004.

Which makes it quite surprising to me that any of the things being said in respect to Lieberman are coming off as a shock somehow.

And as far as Joe sucking rancid platypus balls and all, is that what we're calling shrubby now?

[Critters2]

69. Enough with the accuracy, already!

Platypii don't have balls, the OP isn't new. Next you'll be telling me Joe Lieberman is a Democrat. And THAT I simply refuse to believe!

[LostinVA]

127. Do platypus have testicles?

[mike_c]

141. well, see-- we've been discussing that issue....

They have testes, but they don't have testicles. Joe would have to crawl inside a platypus in order to suck its rancid testes. I won't speculate any further on the matter.

[Critters2]

186. Not that Joe is above that sort of thing

Wow! I REALLY don't like Joe! Who knew?

181. I'm going to K&R just for this post.

7. why is it

that im supposed to care that youre ashamed of being associated with du? if you dont like it, leave. im getting more than tired of posters telling me what i can and cant do or say around here.

[Fredda Weinberg]

9. We're becoming an echo chamber

I alerted one particularly nasty post ... still waiting to see if attacks on other DUers will be tolerated.

I've checked the news reports and can't find where Lieberman made any specific accusation - sure, they suspect their political opponents - so do I.

[TechBear_Seattle]

10. I feel compelled to agree

Until and unless Lieberman abandons his party like a spoiled brat, he is still a Democrat and should be treated as such.

[WI_DEM]

I defended Joe for a long time as having a liberal domestic record but

when he decided that he would reject the outcome of a democratic primary and run as an independent if he loses the primary--then all bets are off.

I do think a lot of people are upset about Lieberman accusation of hacking against Lamont today. I also think that people are frustrated with Dems who don't challenge a really awful Republican administration and are taking it out on one of the perceived accommodaters.

[novalib]

14. PLEASE!

MANY of us recognize TURN-COATS when we see them!

You know - guys like Zell Miller.

And Joe Lieberman.

So stop getting all high-and-mighty.

Just because someone says that they are a Democrat doesn't make it so.

[Nabia2004]

you suggest we do? Should we all forget to spell check our posts? Should we all post RW spin about being civil?

[Beetwasher]

16. What's Disgusting Is Lieberman's Vile, Baseless Smear of Another Democrat

So quit yer pathetic whining. WAAAAHHHHH!!!! :eyes:

[Critters2]

17. It's nothing personal

I behave no differently toward Joe than I do toward any neo-con--Republican or (pseudo-)Democrat.

Oh, and the 90% thing, that's getting tired. Joe has voted against Dems on things that matter, like impeaching Clinton and the war in Iraq. That he agrees about naming post offices doesn't impress me.

[otohara]

18. Dissent Is Not Welcome

hmmmmm....that sounds so very Lieberman.

[Occulus]

20. The reason we keep losing is because of that exact attitude

It. Is. TIME. Time to start fighting like our survival depends on it.

We cannot afford traitors to our ideals- and people like Holy Joe and Zell Miller and their sycophants are exactly that: traitors to our ideals.

Lieberman seems to think that the president needs to be respected at all times, in all situations, and under all circumstances. He, and everyone who thinks that way, is wrong. When you have a president and an administration like this one, there can be no agreement; Joe should have fought against * and his cabal tooth and nail from 2001 to today.

He has not. He has sucked * ass for years now, with no letup. Let him go Indypublican, and let his supporters go with him. We don't need people like him working to destroy us, and saying they're with us.

Holy Joe has got to go if we are ever to get these people out of power.

[truebrit71]

21. Hmm so it's okay for joe to say that a Lamont win means that the Dems...

...will NOT win congress back, or the Presidency because we'll have rejected people like him?

Since when did LIEberman represent the mainstream of the Democratic party?

How about NEVER.

He is a complete and total disgrace to the Democratic party, the ONLY thing he could have done that is worse is pull a Zell Miller, and he ain't that far off....

[jedicord]

22. He voted Democratice 90% of the time?

Maybe my mind's just clouded by the vision of him hugging Dubya, but I'm very surprised by this factoid.

Do you have a link, numbers, specific votes? Not that I live in CT, but if he wins the primary at least I won't be as upset.

[Eurobabe]

23. Dude, don't make me laugh my ass off, stick around for a primary

by then you'll be seasoned. Dems eat their own.

25. the hack accusaton was the last straw, sorry

i am not one that's joining in on these posts but i understand. For Joementum to blame Lamont for his website problems is ludicrous beyond belief, he has no evidence and what evidence exists clearly lays the blame on the Lieberman campaign itself.

I agree that everyone should be civil, but it's time to take country back. If we have to take it back from certain Democrats, so be it.

[lonestarnot]

27. WTF is dis?

[1620rock]

28. Well, a Lieberman Democrat is better than any Republican....

...however, we can do better than Lieberman. It is our perception that 'Joe' has sold us and our party down the proverbial rive, and for that he will forever draw our ire.

[truebrit71]

46. A Lieberman Democrat IS a republican...

...there isn't a difference....

[Critters2]

76. I agree

A Dem who votes Repug IS a Repug!!

29. I agree that the name calling is

completely unneccessary.

30. Don't worry, he won't be a Democrat for long...

And I'm SURE all the folks that trash greens (not that the Santorum stuff isn't good reason) will be out in force to remind Lieberman(I) supporters that this is a Democratic Party discussion board, right? Right?

142. A Progressive, and you support Lieberman?

I'm a Democratic Socialist, gay, an environmentalist, and female... and Lieberman is the epitome of a turncoat.

[dbackjon]

188. Could there be a better Senator from CT?

Probably. Not sure if it is Lamont, though.

I support a Democratic Takeover of the Senate. I am even going to hold my nose and vote for Harold Ford Jr, this fall, even though he is FAR from my ideal Senator.

36. Oh please...

Anger is healthy. Anger says...we're tired of Democratic politicians putting out the welcome matt for Fascism.

We have a pResident who has disgraced our country, lied us into war, practically torn up the Constitution, created an unparalleled federal deficit, spied on us and has made a mockery of our entire nation on the world's stage.

Any Democrat who hasn't stood up to these crimes--isn't a Democrat. I don't care if they vote 99 percent of the time for Dem issues. If they are standing with this pResident, rationalizing his horrid behavior and urging Democrats to "respect this pResident"--then I'm for booting them out of the party.

I make no apologies.

You have to stand up for your principles. You have to say no to politicians who remain silent when atrocities are happening in our name. ANY politician, like Joe Lieberman--who sticks up for such unpatriotic, perverse behavior--and then wrist-slaps the Dems and reminds them that they need to play along--deserves to be kicked to the curb!

I'm angry....damn angry...about Lieberman. I'm not ashamed to say it and no one else should be either!

the connecticut Dems were the only ones (after the St.Paul Minn dems) to step up and say "That's it! We are making a stand to tell you all that what we expect" and "We aren't going to taken for granted like the Republican sheep". Joe was in the wrong place at the wrong time and his past ACTIONS didn't help him any either.

49. I don't have a problem with Joe

In fact, I kind of respect him because he took a position (albeit a wrong one) and stuck by it. He's not like a number - a large number - of Dems who supported the war out of cowardice and servility and are now saying the right things because the winds have changed.

He still has to go though. His closeness to Bushco is appalling in every way. Go Ned!

[bigwillq]

55. Connecticut deserves better than LIEberman.

America deserves better.

Joe dug his own grave, imo, by aliening himself with the conservative right.

It's true that Joe's voting record is pretty liberal but on some very important issues over the last few years he's made bad choices.

The Iraq war resolution (and his continued support of the war)
Voting for CAFTA
Voting for the Energy Bill
Voting for John Roberts
Not taking a stance and saying that all CT hospitals should make birth control pills available.

Joe must go.

[im10ashus]

He voted against the Alito filibuster too, correct? n/t

[endarkenment]

85. He lead the damn surrender!

He was the purportedly Democratic leader of the compromise that ended the fillibuster. Better to never use it than to have it taken away, right Joe?

Oh my loathing of Mr. Lieberman is massive.

149. I hear it's a large turnout too!

Hope that is good news! :bounce:

[acmavm]

58. Believe me, from personal experience I know that if you're ashamed to

be here now you'd better get while the getting's good because you don't have what it takes to be here during an election.

[dbackjon]

86. I was here in 2004.

And even Zell Miller didn't get savaged the way Lieberman is getting it. And if anyone deserved it, he did.

[acmavm]

105. You must not have been here much. Zell Miller was the subject of

many of horrific (and funny) thread. I've never seen anything like it except for what we did to bush** (and rightfully so) just before the elections. (Afterward everyone was too sick to post.)

Like I said, either toughen up, learn where the ignore button is, or go away.

[Swamp Rat]

124. Ahem! What about Howard Dean?

He and his supporters were frikkin' canabalised!

[sui generis]

63. well, one of the biggest things most of us agree on

that we were against this war and that our representatives needed to hear that was blatantly ignored by Mr. 90%.

That other 10% is a big enough deal that his reelection is in serious jeopardy, and DU did not do that. Joe did it all on his own by not listening to his constituency. This is merely political Darwin in action.

And there is a very fine line between being passionately opposed and uncivil - often only in the eye of the beholder.

[Swamp Rat]

65. What do you mean "MAN?"

:D

[endarkenment]

67. Best not to smooch bush if you want respect here. nt.

[raysr]

68. A quote from Rick Larsen (WA St House Rep)

to me personally "You mean you won't vote for me over ONE vote you don't like?" (the banruptcy bill) my answer "Yes!" Yes Joe, the fact that you have voted democratic in the means NOTHING, it's what you're doing NOW that matters, nothing else counts.

[Bob3]

74. Nothing brings out the invective like a hypocrite backstabber

As a broad example, Benedict Arnold occupies a much worse place in the mind set of the average American than say Cornwallis. Lieberman's sanctimonious humbug his love affair with Bill Bennett and Sean Hanity, his lecturing folks about opposing the war in Iraq, his obvious anger at the voters that he is even in a primary, have all contributed to the extremely negative emotions generated.

I would say, if our tone is offensive you make take it that we are offended.

[Individualist]

82. I love seeing DLCers gnashing their teeth

in anguish because the Bush kissing, warmongering, neocon enabler is toast as of today. Good riddance!

[Jersey Devil]

84. Joe can always find work as *'s Personal Ball Washer

After all, Joe has been washing Bush's balls for free up until this time. Why not make it a full time, salaried position? "Personal Ball Washer to the President"? It has a certain ring to it. Foreign leaders will also be impressed. After all, how many of them have Personal Ball Washers?

[BuyingThyme]

87. Amen.

[Warpy]

88. Actually, his progressive rating is 76.4%

His record on labor issues is especially bad.

Check it out at http://www.progressivepunch.org/

[BlooInBloo]

98. Exactly.

EDIT: I believe that several republicans are actually better Democrats (per such ratings as you showed) than holy joe - no? Or am I full of rich creamery butter?

[Warpy]

182. The latter, I'm afraid

if we're going to stay polite about it :evilgrin:

However, both Nelsons are far worse than Lieberman, as is Bayh.

He's not the bottom of the Dem barrel, by any manner of speaking. He's also far, far better than any GOP out there, even the so called moderates.

[kaygore]

106. Thank you for some hard data, but what has it been the last 6 years?

Some where along the line, LieberBUSH sold his soul and his balls shriveled to nothing.

He wouldn't even appear on Colbert!

What a wuss!

[jedicord]

125. Thanks Warpy.

I was noticing the OP wasn't answering my question in my earlier post.

Just what I thought...

[ClintonTyree]

90. Is anyone holding a gun to your head, keeping you here?

Thanks for your input. I find DU QUITE readable, thank you!

[kurth]

102. Maybe he's looking for NeoConUnderground.com

it's like asking for a bra in a hardware store.

[Richard Steele]

96. Joe's voting record is like a large meal that's over 90% NON-POISONOUS.

Yeah, only the 'lunatic fringe' cares about the last 5 or ten percent
that is GONNA FUCKING KILL US!!!!!! Right?

We ARE a better alternative to the RW; the fact that we can
get rid of a BushLicking TRAITOR like Joe is PROOF of that fact.

[Rabrrrrrr]

113. Now more than 90% DUNG-FREE!! Over 90% NON-MURDEROUS!!

Over 90% DEATH-FREE!!

LESS THAN 10% DISEASE-LADEN!!

[im10ashus]

101. Joe? Hillary? Is that you?

You both are starting to sound alike.

[elehhhhna]

116. It's Mrs. Leiberman. lol.

[im10ashus]

131. LOL!

And I LOVE your gas pump gauge!

:hi:

[Critters2]

135. Big pharma gave her the day off nt

[elehhhhna]

199. Oh I'll bet she's on another "paid day off", alright.

I cannot imagine accepting payments from LOBBYISTS in order to sleep with ones own husband.

Until I look at Joe.

[Critters2]

213. Now that you mention it,

I guess it is a work day.

[novalib]

104. You'll Just Have To Take It For Granite....

You'll just have to take it for granted that most of us here are REAL Democrats who HATE turncoats!

[kaygore]

114. Yes, at least Republicans are honest and call themselves Republicans

LiberBUSH lacks the balls to call himself what he really is...a neocon Republican. Hmmmm....guess to be a true red Republican he would have to embrace Christ as passionately as Bush embraced him!

[LostinVA]

158. Preach it fellow Virginian Brother or Sister!

[Viva_La_Revolution]

115. buuurrrrrp! Pass me another beer, will ya?

it helps wash down the :popcorn:

[LostinVA]

121. Lieberman is not a LIberal in any sense of the word

I will leave the rest to people more articulate than myself.

[DoYouEverWonder]

123. The trolls are out in force all of a sudden

Gawd, I hate the smell of desperation.

[Debi]

126. I will do my best to not say anything mean about Joe Lieberman

But I can't make any promises. :bounce:

[earth mom]

128. Get over it. The dude's a DINO, a THUG, a FRAUD, a SELLOUT.

:puke:

You can't run from the truth. Deal with it.

[KurtNYC]

134. Well come on back tomorrow bc then we will be spewing

toward an right-leaning Independent who is running against the Democratic nominee.

[sendero]

137. Guess what...

... we tried playing that game and it doesn't work.

Anyone who thinks insults on a message board are comparable to the gutting of America can cram it.

Nobody cares if you stay here, or I stay here for that matter, or not. Suit yourself.

[Little Star]

144. You mean Joe the Independent candidate? Loyal my butt.

[The Gunslinger]

154. 90% of the time.....

I dont think so..

173. Lame of you to assume

That anyone that disagrees is a Bush Operative That is lame.

[arcane1]

162. there are over 93,000 members here

don't judge us by the words of a few :eyes:

[Generic Other]

163. No, the writing on the wall is very easy to read

We don't like Bush butt kissers.

[mcscajun]

164. "...towards ANOTHER Democratic..." (sic)

In the syntax of your statement it actually should be "...toward another Democrat...", as should LIEberman, but he isn't.

And when he loses tonight and begins his run as an Independent, even those who were holding back will be justified in turning their backs on him. He's DINO slime.

[Fleshdancer]

165. if this offends you, then get out now before the POTUS Primaries

DU will be bat shit crazy in about a year and a half from now. It's part of that special DU charm. ;)

[Rosemary2205]

184. ROFL

:)

[longship]

167. I agree about the ad hominems

But I do not agree about Lieberman.

He's a complete washout as a Democrat. His announcement to run as an independant if he loses the primary is a prime example of the extent to which he is *not* a loyal to the Democratic Party.

But people should be at least gracious and stop the personal attacks. They do absolutely no good.

[milkyway]

172. Traitor Joe has already told the Democratic Party to go fuck themselves.

Traitor Joe gladly lit the blowtorch for Bush to use on the Constitution. Now he whines he'll run against a Dem if he loses. The rightwing extremists love him. I wonder why?

[Critters2]

179. "*'s favorite Democrat"

That about sums it up for me.

[kimmerspixelated]

190. True

Let's be more civil. But please, can we keep this site, a little more viewable? Geez, I want to hurl everytime I get a glimpse at the top of the page of that fat, ugly f***-wad-Rove. A squeeling PIG!

[NRaleighLiberal]

191. ...he is nothing but a Whiny DINO....good riddance to him!

[Rex]

193. MEOWSIBUB HAS SPOKEN!

All fear the Lord of Kitty Litter!!!!

[devilgrrl]

206. Oh! The feigned outrage.... Heavens to Betsy, the audacity!

:eyes::sarcasm::eyes:

[symbolman]

209. well, Joe DID

have a choice.

Right Cheek, Left Cheek, or right up the middle..

[IChing]

212. I'm sorry but that is unreadable

but I get the picture.......:rofl: :rofl:

[unhappycamper]

214. Locking.
