*130 is 2X the estimated average IQ of the tards who were waiting on line at the post office this morning.  BangHead

One of the things I liked about the pre-WWW Internet was that there weren't any...ummm...morons.  Gopher space and the rest of the Internet was a moron free zone...unlike today's World Wide Web .  Laughing7
"Well, Jay was so giddy that someone named Jay was involved with this site we posted our first non-eBay listing in 3 years here at Lunarbid (we tried two items at Yahoo once upon a time, they bombed)" -Marie posting in a LunarBid thread at OTWA in 2005 wins the award for 'most moronic reason ever given for choosing a venue"

"thanks twat u must have nothing better 2 do. do u talk to all your members like that. will not be recomending your site.
best way to put it is TULIPTOOLS.COM IS REALLY SHIT. DONT JOIN." -pubescent owner of rinky dink off2auction.com in 2011
