Audrey Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Well, the thing is, the original author of that list (yeah, I know, I totally missed the small print on the OP's post, too), posted on there how happy she is that Cdrumm loved her blog post. And oh yeah, here's the link to the, um, source. Don't look at me like that. I can't make stuff up like this. I thought the original author's post was a brilliantly subtle response. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Mungo Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 You should all be ashamed of yourselves. Oh, we ARE. Promise. Oh and Ms Mungo-this lady who used to babysit for me had a dead kitten in her freezer...can you please explain. She is obviously covering up her crimes against kittanity. It's worse when the screen name is baffling. I mean, what's a "Remudamom" anyway? Did she mean to say Bermuda Mom? Don't cast aspersions on Mrs. Mungo. She works for the Grammarian Humane Society. It's not her fault they make her work from home. True facts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I laughed and posted and thought the OP was so funny, and my comments were, of course, SUPER funny as well! But now, after reading the other thread, and after reading posts that talk about tin hats and more, and now this post about a subtle response....I'm starting to get the feeling that I'm missing the real joke.

stripe Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 (edited) I think sarcasm kills yeti (yetis?) or chupacabra(s?). No, chupacabras feed on the lifeblood of sarcasm! I love chupacabras. From Wikipedia: The most common description of chupacabras is a reptile-like being, appearing to have leathery or scaly greenish-gray skin and sharp spines or quills running down its back. This form stands approximately 3 to 4 feet (1 to 1.2 m) high, and stands and hops in a similar fashion to a kangaroo. In at least one sighting, the creature was reported to hop 20 feet (6 m). This variety is said to have a dog or panther-like nose and face, a forked tongue, and large fangs. It is said to hiss and screech when alarmed, as well as leave behind a sulfuric stench. When it screeches, some reports assert that the chupacabras' eyes glow an unusual red which gives the witnesses nausea.
