ahem, Brad is the death thread creator around here. You totally just stepped on his toes.

It's all about Brad.

She will be missed. Thoroughly enjoyed her cutting "Shrub" down to size.

Hey, did I whine when people started copping my "Wish xxxx a happy birthday, bitches" threads? No, I did not.

'rad,

Does it bother you if I step on your territory?

The first "It's raining ____" thread was not posted by me. It was in response to the Weather Girl's Izora Armstead's death, and I believe that thread was "It's raining dead black singers" or something like that. I forget who originally posted it, but it seems Jack-ish.

A few weeks later, Rick James died, and I posted something like "It's raining Rick James bitch." So I started the shtick, but I didn't originate the concept.

However, I'm fine with 'Reglonitz copping my bit. Last I checked, we're forced to share everything in this hippie commune.

Hahaha, I was really just poking fun at the fact that Brad tends to start them and has come to look morbid because of it

Don't back down. It just makes you look weak. Keep your rep, legbone.

One time Keriann punched a crippled child in the back of the head, staggering the poor kid. That's right she's vicious--so much so, she blindsidedly attacked a disabled child.

He deserved it. He was getting lippy.
