A statement from the family of Ronnie Hog

 

On September 29th at approximately 1:33 am eastern, 10:33 specific, a post was made regarding the "LPP" or Likes Per Post of the members of the Hollywood Handbook forum. Upon seeing his name in the middle of the list, and not towards the top where he felt he deserved to be, our young, sweet, handsome, virile, and to be quite honest packed loaded in the pants department son Ronnie Hog shot himself killed. Ronnie was a great boy, and he wanted everyone here to know that this was your fault. He shot himself in the heart so he could donate his brain to science in hopes that the world will find out just what made this comic genis tick.

 

Thank you god bless.

Thanks for the link.

Watching now.

 

That is not what I pictured engineer Brett looking like....

For some reason I pictured him as some kind of long haired hippy.

This is the second earwolf podcast in two days to talk about cyberbullying on Myspace. freaky and fucked up. It's like a glitch in the Matrix and I don't want to be robot

 

This was a good episode. I liked Sean's very quiet "study halls" during the Monsters Inc discussion because it reminded me of the We Are Your Friends trailer, even though it's just a normal phrase. I think my mind is poisoned

Cyberbullying is really in the zeitgeist these days.

Speaking of which, prepare to to have your mind blown.

If you love him so much why don't you 69 him

 

Maybe I will! Sure the lad only lives about 2 hours away from me.......

 

..... and ladies, he's a bit of a ride

[souprman 10477]

Gemberling was hilarious. He was my true HH dream guest.

 

Haven't listened to this one yet with this Alling MacLOud guy. His name is pretty funny though so I expect it will be gooood.

 

New HH 2 days in a row. Pretty happy right now.

It was 'puppeteer' or 'garnish on a summer berry flavored cocktail'

[Proposition Phil 218]

The boys are right that it's nice to watch gangs with all tough white people and to travel back in time to when it was only white people, but I think they forgot fantasy worlds where it's all white people. Normal white people, short white people, short fat white people and white people with pointy ears and the only other guys they have to worry about are the filthy, stupid, violent orcs. Now that's a true fantasy.

[Joe Lerini 7329]

Joe Lerini - 2.2

Oh man. There is nothing like seeing your actual birthname right next to statistical evidence of how unpopular you are. This place is great.

[Jack Johnson P.I. 3649]

I'm genuinely terrified to look back at the beginning of this thread because I'm positive I made an ass of myself last night. Maybe I should just own up to it and be the guy that everyone in this thread hates. Infamy is better than nothing, right? Alright, time to listen to this weeks ep.

[Lord Shitqueef 1609]

I'm watching the video ep for the second time now. I loved seeing gemberling try to keep up with the boys. He looked exhausted by the end of it.

 

I hope to see many gifs from it.

[Jack Johnson P.I. 3649]

Can we all agree that gif is pronounced "jeff". I'm sick and tired of hearing it pronounced wrong.
