9.3.2. ... have a toke & don't suck

9.3.3. ... try to throw in a few cultural allusions.

9.3.4. ... If you really *want* to be a weenie, do it in email.

9.3.5. ... stop with these inane, endless, mindnumbing, teethgrinding, lip-biting, blood pressure-raising, hives-inducing, hair-pulling, head-pounding, monitor-smacking, idiotic, asinine circular arguements!!!!

9.3.6. ... don't get carried away with the adjectives.
