Deny thy father and refuse thy name.
What the dill? It was sweet having your sarcasm in the Asylum. Oh and the wonderful CJ's. I miss the angry liberal from frithco.

He's been absent for a while now. Guess he don' lub us no mo'.
I like to think he's soaking in a jar of vinegar somewhere, to make his sarcastic barbs that much more acrid.

Thanks for the definition trick. I had to look up the spelling afterwards. Anyway, I think this applies. Quote:

Ah, true dat.
I just usually see people using it to mean "where," which I learned was incorrect from a tv show.
Sorry, Trick was correct in the first place. Wherefore means why, not where.
Synonyms: account, antecedent, argument, base, bedrock, call, cause, demonstration, determinant, dope, evidence, excuse, factor, footing, foundation, goods, groundwork, inducement, info, infrastructure, justification, motive, numbers, occasion, premise, pretext, proof, rationale, reason, root, seat, straight stuff, substratum, test, testimony, trial, underpinning, wherefore, why, whyfor
Sorry, that one drives me a little bit crazy in the head.
But I'll give you a little karma grope to ease the pain.

Well, perhaps. I meant to use it in this manner, but now looking at the question posed in the subject line, you are both correct. However, taking a little liberty and some ambiguity, mine works too. Maybe? Anyway, didn't mean it as where.

Pickle was like a bad rash, he grew on me. Then, when he was gone, I found myself scratching even though he's no longer there.
We miss you PP. Come back. Because I really like to scratch myself. Especially in public.

Some people are like slinkies, they aren't really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.
And for that matter where is smash?
I thought he said he was going to be in LA for a month, but I'm too lazy to check old threads.
Hmm. Smash or pickle? I'd look too but the search engine is "broken"
Hey, I even wonder what happened to Katy.

Sorry, I meant Smash. What? You're not reading my mind, Mentoch?
About Katie, she made one of her usual charming appearances the other day.

Ah, well I had no idea she had her named changed, and I never make it to OOT. That is some avatard she has. On second thought I rescind my inquiry about Katie.

Blame Shakespeare.
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
I do, completely. That word has plagued the english speaking world with confusion for generations!

the for is unnecessary, lest it were wherefore, which has been proven (?) wrong.

Yes, but the second syllable makes it sound better.

Impeach!
Has he started school again? Maybe he's immersed in "Inking 101"
