  2. Not really no.

    And I don’t make a habit of deleting comments, but jesus christ what crawled into your cheerios and died? Why such a buzzkill, bucko?

  3. I don’t that the use of the word fag makes that funny that is were we differ in this. So i find this post ironic.

  4. I say this with nothing but love and respect in my heart, but good god man, get that stick out of your ass. Funny is funny, and what’s the sense in getting butthurt about stuff when you can just laugh about it?

  5. Owen,

    1. It’s not ironic, because Caleb said it made HIM laugh. Whether someone else finds it funny or not is immaterial.

    2. It’s not ironic because I don’t agree with that newfangled definition of irony. Just because a bunch of people decide to misuse a word doesn’t make it OK. Besides, argument from authority is a fallacy. That means you loose.

    3. That shit IS funny.
