@North , behaving is always worth a try. Misbehavin' is successful at The Troll

Of course, like always. What else is new?

@North , eat me. Then vomit. Then eat me again.

I'm a tree, I eat sunlight

@North, i'll climb your limbs and get sap on my hands and bare feet.

No, my blood!

Would your hands be bare too?

4:24 AM

Oh, no, i wear shoes on my hands.

And undies on my knees.

Sounds quite fashionable indeed

Gotta see it to believe it!

I'm not sure I would want to....

Not worth the dime, i admit.

Nonetheless, @North, if you're in the mood for banter i suggest The Troll. I've been slapped more than once is enough here.

I'll pass this time ;)

I need to sleep soon anyways

4:28 AM

Righto.

Good night to you then, good sir

Now, here I am in the backyard turning over soil for her garden instead of playing cards with my friends or enjoying the multitudes ...

Don't edit posts that are low quality, just raise the flag for it and maybe put in a comment, but editting causes some problems with like deletion and stuff

TIL, source?

Mithrandir

It only knocks it out of the queue if you edit it directly from the queue.

But in general, yeah, it's kind of a waste of time to edit deletable content that isn't salvageable.
