This one was more disturbing than funny. I think the one about "shooting" a load across the room is quite humorous.

I went with the Custom Profile Fields choice to block the scum on the KtL forums (they are phpBB too). Hopefully this will help. We have 5 new members over the last 2 days that smell rather like spam.

That said, I protest the defamation of such a noble food by applying it to such lowlife swine.
