...going to bring the "Idiocracy" into being during our lifetime if people like you keep insisting on raising the tone? Some of us are working quite hard here to push the average IQ down into single digits. It would happen a lot faster if you didn't keep skewing the curve!

7. If it weren't for slang, we'd all have to make like a tree and get the puck outta here.
