Man, the quality of trolls has really been slipping lately.
Used to be, we could at least enjoy a spectacular -- and hilarious -- flameout.

Now, it seems we just get the crybabies, passively whining about how their widdle feelings have been hurt by those mean ol' Liberals. :cry:

They don't even take the troll-bait that's being offered them. Instead, the best they can do is respond with endless variations on "I know you are but what am I? Nyah nyah!"

Jeez. Give us a little entertainment if you're gonna use the bandwidth, would you?

1. These new ones are just phoning it in...
They don't even try anymore -- no pride in their work.

The whole operation was probably outsourced last year. :shrug:

12. They like me too. I've even appeared on their top 10 worst liberals (or whatever it's called.)
That was two years ago. I didn't make it last year. My feelings were very hurt. :)

3. Ya just can't find a good troll anymore
I don't engage them but I have enjoyed their attempts in the past. You are right. They are even more pathetic losers then previously. I hope I piss them off and they come after us with their incredible conservative wit and logic again. Actually I'd rather they meander down to the army recruiting station.

5. They'd have to change out of their pajamas
Besides, they're anaerobic. Fresh air makes them shrivel up.

16. They'd be a waste in the military as well.

About the only thing their ignorant asses would be good for would be cleaning the rest rooms. And no doubt that would stretch their abilities. When your hero is George Bush, you can't fall much further than that.

Can you say "lowered expectations"?

22. You don't have to be a genius to catch bullets.
Or to get your ass blown off by an IED. They sound plenty qualified for that.

13. Sandra Lee's Never Fail Semi-Homemade Troll Pot Pie
Purchase a Stouffer's Family Size Beef Pot Pie. Heat it up long enough to thaw out the filling.

Cut the top off and scrape the filling out. Sort through the filling to find the beef chunks, remove same and feed them to your dog.

Wait ten minutes until your dog pukes on the rug due to the high quality of the meat Stouffer's buys. Clean up the mess.

Take one smallish (250-lb) troll and give him an enema. Field-dress the troll, and chop the meat into chunks about the size of the ones you took out of the filling. You should get about a cup of chunks. Brown them in the cheapest grease you can get your hands on and fold them into the filling.

Put the filling back in the crust, put the top back on the pie and stick it in the oven until your smoke alarm goes off.

We'd like to say it serves four, but no one will actually eat this.

17. I forgot a LOT of martinis
You need one:

while you're driving home with the pot pie in your car
while you're searching for the troll
while the pot pie is heating up
as you scrape the filling out and sort out the beef
and while you field dress the troll
you need two while you're cleaning up the dog puke
and one while it cooks
then three or four more while you're trying to convince your kids to eat a burnt pot pie with chunks of troll in it

However, if you had a martini while you're sandblasting the dishes and pressure washing the inside of your oven, you would be an alcoholic so don't do that.

21. Troll House Cookies?
Edited on Fri Mar-02-07 03:09 PM by Bridget Burke
Warning: Those brown lumps are NOT chocolate.

Perhaps Anthony Bourdain has encountered the dish in his travels. He's eaten several things I'd run from, screaming.

32. Got a better idea, why not an "Afterlife" forum?
Trolls who are banned get sent to the Afterlife forum, let's call this Hell, they aren't allowed to post in any normal forums, just in Hell, however, we, being members in good standing, could go over to that forum, visit, and taunt them to our hearts content. :evilgrin:

25. I've noticed a decline in quality since the last election
I think that most of the trolls got pink slips in November. All we have left are the rank amateurs.
