    Hey, let me be outraged. I want to be outraged.

    You don't riff on something like this. You just don't. The fact that it is in print and not just a verbal riff makes it even worse.
    I know he's tried to explain it, but when you have to explain a joke, it is a failed attempt at humor.

    Yeah, we should totally burn him at the stake before actually reading the chapter in question.

    Dan Marino just kicked Troy Stradford's dog and isn't sure why.

    Well, guess I don't have to worry about Mrs. T (works with developmentally diabled kids, some of whom have autism) tossing me overboard for Leary anymore.

    Exactly. It's another example of a writer who hasn't even read the whole book who just grabbed a few lines and tried to turn it into a big story.

    Leary is being seriously misrepresented here.

    Why do you keep losing posts, mizzou?

    Two days ago, you were like four from 20,000.

    Yesterday, you had about 40 less.

    Today, you're barely at 19,000.

    Ace resets occasionally. HB's done it. Junkie did it on the regular.

    Exactly. I think some people may have overreacted to this. And this thread title is a little misleading. He was ripping parents, not autism.

    Some of you people over-react much? Geez.

    Yeah but he didn't re-set or nuke. He's apparently just losing posts.

    Apparently stock in Mizzou is down. He needs to start supporting Obama if he wants to top 20,000 by the end of trading tomorrow.
