The spammer appears to be a religious hypocrite, so why not spam the spammer with religious hypocrisy right from their own playbook? I would begin with Isaiah 45:7 "I form the ligh…

Not one cup of coffee in over 50 years... When someone offers all the beer I drink for one low monthly price, I'll be signing up.

Sleep deprivation was an integral part of my work experience, from working on my dad's farm during the height of the summer harvest, to the Army. If you couldn't keep up, someone e…
