Saying "Fuck that, a true OGT realizes the fact that Maynard is a prick :D" is not satire; nor would it be even if the obligatory ":D" were left out. But I figured if I pointed that out then you'd come up with some psuedo-intellectual response containing the word "dumbass" at least once and appear to be defending your viewpoint while in reality simply attacking mine, so I didn't. What an ironic twist of fate that no matter what people say, you end up doing that, anyway.

Oh, and I couldn't care less about the semantics of who you think you're better than. The fact that you think you're better than anyone and defend yourself by saying so proves to me that you aren't worth any more responses to whatever you will inevitably have to say about this post (I'm predicting a generic quasi-pejorative; something along the lines of "dipshit," "fucker," or the already spent "dumbass"). Instead, I'll just read it, laugh, and leave.
Just lurking...
But I have to say that this was a pretty solid ownage.
good post.
