I am sorry, but if you hung around with my circle in Connecticut and had a hole in your polo, we would be having fits of hysteria behind your back while actually being pretty scared that you may be some kind of junkie or moonshiner. |
No moonshine in Connecticut, numbnuts.
Keep going with the character though---good laughs. |

really? no shit Sherlock. I was just speculating it could be a moonshiner or some other low-life redneck from the South, or a Junkie. I don't know what you know about Connecticut, but I am sure you couldn't afford to live in my street and I am sure you don't live there with a name like Jmatt. My house is one of the cheapest on the street as most of the other people who live there are doctors, lawyers, or work in finance. These people were were called just morons by a guy who tore of a Lacoste emblem after buying a fake polo in a grotty Seoul metro station and walked around for 10 years with a hole in his shirt and thinks he looks cool in it!! |

| Locked due to insults, unacceptable language and less than civil discussion. |
