Utter Nonsense the Fifth, or Fun With Hate Mail and What I mean by "Yuri"

August 23rd, 2007

Recently, I’ve gotten a lot of comments and emails in which people accuse me of being a moron, stupid, retarded, etc. I really enjoy these, because inevitably, they are poorly spelled, with minimal to no punctuation.
