Whut our you talkin aboot?
Yeah, but he'll be a virgin forever!!!!!!
i was at this pizza place "abo's" for lunch, and i saw some of that. and it was on espn for some reason. i'd say at least 90% of the kids on that had a last name of "Jong" or "Lee".
There was one kinda hot eighth grade girl, though.
Pedophile. P_E_D_O_P_H_I_L_E.
Heed taken! Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go back to counting my toes to make sure there are still 10 of them.
Over here they're paedophiles. Still not hugely popular.
I'm 14, so not really.Quote:

I'm pretty sure most pedophiles would be into that. Maybe more "stuck" than "trapped," but whatever.Quote:

For the Grand Prize-- a trip to Hawaii and a Lear Jet in the color of your choosing-- who can tell me the difference between "perverse" and "perverted?"
Perverse is behaving in a way that is unacceptable, perverted is sexually so?Quote:

And congratulations, you erudite twit.
Sweet, blue's my favourite colour!Quote:

Anyone else see the movie Spellbound? It's a documentary about the National Spelling Bee. Excellent, excellent movie. Another one that's also good is Word Wars about Scrabble champions. Some of these guys make Trekkies seem almost normal.
I watched it the other day and wasn't overly impressed. Seemed to me that most of the parents put their kids under tremendous pressure to win these things, and that the kids are going to go grow up warped because of it. Especially the one that was in here final year and didn't go through to the last round - can you imagine having something your parents have built you up for that much being unattainable for you, ever?
