once, while watching too much bad TV (cause I'm a Fresnan) I heard this statement:
"I'll kick your Ass FRESNO-STYLE"
I liked that.
I use that line.
Often.

Is it wrong that I judge this twitter handle (which I've yet to name accurately on the interwebs) for its use of "ur" and "2" in place of the English alternatives?

Because I do.

I was annoyed by the lack of humor, creativity or originality, but it was the generalized, inaccurate smear-fest of a few of Fresno's finest that really got my ire up.

That's right, you guys, my ire reached unprecedented levels for a Thursday. And, for that, I will not forgive or forget anytime soon.

Exactly. Although my tongue was in my cheek while writing, I was serious about not picking on him anymore. I feel the same way you do. I get the feeling he's an unhappy person looking for attention and could probably use a few hugs.

Thanks for the post Conlan. I saw that conversation go down today and thought it was best not to engage the idiot. Idiots love attention. Kudos to the people who defended themselves. What a sad, sad person. Glad you wrote about it. I kind of felt bad for the guy. You know that feeling when you're embarrassed for someone. He needs a hug.
