What a retarded question. I’d take the envelope. But then I have kids & I worry about their future.

As opposed to still being a kid and caring about nobody except myself.

Suppose the envelope contained a cure for cancer. Would it still be ‘show me the money’.

I’d take the money, for the simple reason that catastrophic anthropogenic climate change is a complete myth and how the fuck can you cure a myth…

Easy question. Now, where’s my prize…

Back to the point at hand….

….I reckon that 5 million Euro would by a shitload of land in Greenland. A little bit away from the coastline and a couple of meters above the sea level to allow for the melting icecaps. With all the warming up going on, I reckon it would be a sure investment as the new Tramore.

Brian, at any stage yesterday while you were consructing your clever little parody of Twenty’s Clonroche post did any of the emotion which inspired the original get through to you? When you you were reading the part about kids being smothered by people they trusted implicity did the sheer awfulness of that image have any effect before you turned it into a thing about John Gormley? When you read & then adapted “five and six. For fuck’s sake” did you not get any sense of the frustrated despair that prompted the original post?

I don’t think so, because you were too busy being clever. You must have been so proud of your effort as you looked back at it, thinking “this’ll show him”. You never got the point in the first place. You seem to have come here under the impression that this is a comedy site, and that Twenty was pokiing fun at the dead of Clonroche. His posts are rarely humorous, more often they are venting at the awful things that happen in the country. In the case of the Flood family, his intemperate rant was a cry of anguish at the deaths of two tiny children. Your carefully constructed response used those deaths for your own purpose.

Turn up as often as you like, comment as often as you like, but remember it’s not him that you’re exposing.
