"I didn't make reality, Sunshine, I just verbally bitch slapped you with it." "I'm not a professional, I'm an artist." "Usenet Filters - Learn to shut yourself the fuck up!" "Drugs killed Jesus you know...oh wait, no, that was the Jews, my bad." "The more I learn the more I'm killing my idols." "Is it wrong to incur and then use the hate ridden, vengeful stupidity of complete strangers in random Usenet froups to further my art?" "Freedom is only a concept, like race it's merely a social construct that doesn't really exist outside of your ability to convince others of its relevancy." "Next time slow up a lil, then maybe you won't jump the gun and start creamin yer panties before it's time to pop the champagne proper." "Reality is directly proportionate to how creative you are." "People are pretty fucking high on themselves if they think that they're just born with a soul. *snicker*...yeah, like they're just givin em out for free." "How sad that you're such a poor judge of style that you can't even properly gauge the artistic worth of your own efforts." "Those who record history are those who control history."

"Apparently this group has got the market cornered on stupid. Intelligence is down 137 points across the board and the forecast indicates an increase in Webtv users." "Is my .sig delimiter broken?
