You know, Faith is right<\/a>… (never mind the fact that “Miss Originality” herself simply ripped off this post<\/a>, and gave it her own spin.). You stick around CyberTown long enough, and you see the same crap being regurgitated, over, and over, and over… with a new crowd ooh-ing and ahh-ing like it’s the first time; and the world is coming to an end. <\/p>\n

And all you wanna do is puke in their comments.<\/p>\n

Can anyone PLEAAAAASE find a new topic to fight about?<\/p>\n

Is there anything new to fight about?<\/p>\n

Something Faith and I didn’t try to kill each other over back in 2000?<\/p>\n

\"BrawlYeah… everybody remember “Brawl of the Week<\/b>” from last year? Does anyone see me calling Kevin Parrott<\/a> a dirty, rotten, stinking, low-down, snake-in-the-grass, plaigiarist?<\/p>\n

Wouldn’t I look like a total asshole pretending I was the first ever person to think of Rock ’em Sock ’em Robots<\/a> When it comes to you fake-ass plastic people? I’m sure a zillion other people did it before that.<\/p>\n

So come on, you lame ass newbies… you heard the challenge<\/a>. Fight about something new and original!!!<\/p>\n

Unless it’s the old “I’m a whore because I showed my boobs??? Well, here they are AGAIN!!!<\/b> *FLASH*”.<\/p>\n

Us guys never get tired of that one.
\nIt’s a timeless classic.<\/p>\n
