Don't mind the old Parisian malcontent "gRunge", he is the proverbial
cockroach on the wedding cake...lol.

How someone who lives in one of the most lovely places on the planet can be
such a consistently wretched churl like 'Runge' is beyond me, but then I
guess all things on God's good earth are possible...

He will, you know. He's been begging me for nude pictures of myself
for over a year now. The rest of the group can certainly vouch for
that.

Steve, you egotistical idiot. I dont want to see nude images of you.
WHAT I WANT is to prove that your a liar... and I have, because if the
husband had taken pictures, like you SAID, you would have posted them by
now, and you didn't, WHICH PROVES THAT NIGHT NEVER TOOK PLACE, which proves
your a liar. And also a lonely, pathetic idiot who's best friends are on
the Internet. And sadly enough your best friend is probably ME since you
spend all your free time obsessing about me.
