Raspberries. In certain circles on the Internet, it is customary to violently stab the keyboard while typing so as to scare off competitors and doubters. The trick is to overwhelm them with your passion and keep them from asking for your chair. You’ve been sitting in that chair for hours and it’s right good and warm. They don’t deserve that warmth, not with those crossed eyes. They didn’t earn it.

THEY’VE DEMONIZED OUR HISTORY! DRINK DISTILLED WATER OR NOTHING. NEVER SLEEP IN A ROOM LIT BY CONDENSED FLUORESCENTS. YOU WILL BE DEFEATED!
