I don't for a minute believe you used the word to mean 'horse's penis'
as some witty wordplay on HORSES. Nice try, though.

If you believe that, you definitely haven't been here long enough!

I got it. They're really hippies, and you're a punk. No argument there.
But then, Patti Smith doesn't seem like much of a punk, either,
nowadays. Was she ever, then, by that distinction? (The distinction
being, if you show signs of hippieness, you can't be a punk.) Are
Hippies and Punks mutually exculsive? I didn't know that. Please explain
again.

So, you see, you and JBolt have ALOT in common. (Dedication.)

That's the nicest thing you've said so far. Was that supposed to be a

So ... you include yourself as a schmuck, along with JBolt.  The truth
is, I think one of you is probably a horse's penis and the other is a
horse's ass.  Maybe you two can use that fact as a way of getting to
know each other better. Just a suggestion. :-)
