Mmm...cheese. Makes the bad habits sound hygiene-related. And the "hypocrisy" notion works better than the overkilled "doppelgaenger" for which many have plumped. - Bulletchewer, 2007-04-04: 14:41:00

*mimicked And is "annoying" a new euphemism for "hot"? - Bulletchewer, 2007-04-04: 14:33:00

Yikes!! Bulletchewer has a crush on the Olsens - Jabberwocky, 2007-04-05: 08:57:00

I must be twinsane eh? Now THIS is me ranting: Reckoning Freud (you know, that MAJOR contributor to psychology, like Goethe and his mate Kant ^^) would concur, while putting irritations about the Olsens down to sexual frustration/jealousy. Pity my attention seeking! - Bulletchewer, 2007-04-09: 05:39:00
