16. And our prize for the lamest post of the day goes to...
Christine Whatever!
Take a bow, honey! You've gotten to a new low on trolling.
And baby, just one thing. Cap lock off, d(r)earie.
It's a bitch of a job, but someone oughta do it.
Where's Lou Grant when you need him?
Spain does it to you, Roccats.

17. Wait a minute here. Forget all this Christian Science vs Scientology stuff. Did Finn insult Arbys? I've been Arbys many times and never had feces flung at me...that I know of. I like those roast beef sandwiches. I crave them fortnightly.

18. You know?
Some days, in those that are particularly good, I feel just like Mary Haines.
Others, most of them, I feel like Mary Richards.
And some others, seeing such shameless showings of stupidity and self-centered, humorless BS, I feel like Mary Hartman, MARY HARTMAN!

19. Well Amber...
If you can believe in space aliens like the Scientologists or that you can "pray" away cancer, diabetes, and heart disease like the Christian Scientists... then maybe you can handle eating at Arby's.
I, for one, will heed the warnings of one Homer J. Simpson:

20. Mmmmm space goo...

21. Uh, by BS I meant Christine's pseudo rant.
Such a dull cliche.

22. MIGUEL, MY CAPS WILL STAY ON 'SWEETHEART' I AM A NATURAL AMERICAN CITIZEN WHERE FREEDOM OF SPEECH IS MY CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT. I WAS RIGHT, OR I WOULDN'T HAVE STRUCK SUCH A NERVE WITH YOU RIGHT? MY BET IS YOU'RE A PRACTICING SCIENTOLOGIST AND YOU HAVE TO CHECK WITH YOUR PEOPLE TO SEE IF YOU CAN SPEAK FREELY? AS FOR THE LAMEST REMARK, COMING FROM YOU NUT JOBS, THAT'S THE BEST COMPLIMENT I'VE HEARD ALL DAY. THANK YOU!
Christine at 6:37PM on Mar 6th 2008
23. I think the phrase "nut job" is such a wonderful, colorful term. I remember hearing my Mom say it when I was a kid and thinking "Oooooh - nutjobs! That sounds exciting!"
Who would have thought I'd make it after all!
Gabrielle at 6:36PM on Mar 6th 2008
24. Funny Miguel,
I thought you meant BS as "Belief in Scientology".
But I guess either way it's a load of crap!!!
Roccats do it for Spain!
Viva el Reino de España!
FINN at 6:41PM on Mar 6th 2008
25. By the way...
Check out these two NUT JOBS I found on the internet:

I can tell by their potty mouths, use of CAPS, and overall lack of education that they must be friends of Christine's. Ain't the 1st Amendment a bitch sometimes???
Viva las Roccats!!!
FINN at 6:41PM on Mar 6th 2008
26. Freedom of speech, and freedom of spelling.
And I exert my freedom to point the White Supremacist that parades around the Trailer Park raving and rambling and whining.
You Crazy Cracker, you.
Pity.
[Sorry, Roccats!]

27. Dear Mo(nitor)
pssst....
the weaker the argument the louder the voice...
just watch pro wrestling some time.....
as for Scientology and Hollywood, I'm reminded of W.C. Fields quote regarding boundaries of such::::
"It's hard to tell where Hollywood ends and the D.T.'s begin."
I'm in love with mo-NEEK-a's logic!!!!got a spot on your prayer rug to share? :)
W.C.Fields forever......
(roccats, rock!)x n
Amber...I've been known to crave Arby's...:(
surely our spots are safe.....whimper....

28.
"helas", great post, I forgot to add!
it was easy to sing in my Aunt Bea falsetto :)
ah, Clem at 7:47PM on Mar 6th 2008
29. the rug, bean bag, hammock, giant vat of pudding - wherever you wanna pray is fine with me.
(oh, the vat of pudding is a secret. if you tell anyone outside the "family" you lose your priveleges.)

30. Christine,
Lighten up honey! This is obviously the first time you've stumbled onto this blog and you actually think these guys are serious. These guys are all regulars and very funny. (although some of their jokes are too inside for me to always get) It's called satire also known as tongue-in-cheek humor. I loved the whole campaign for Hank Kimball - is that still on? I've haven't visited in awhile. I wonder what Christine's reaction would have been had she stumbled on here when ya'll were debating boners vs. hardons!! Ha.
