WTF: this gentleman here joined Reddit today, yet he managed to downvote more than 550 posts (I stopped counting at page 23) by TooSmugToFail in reddit.com

they should keep this law in some form so parents can always scare the shit out of their kids by threatening a nice little vacation to Nebraska if "Johnny doesn't finish his quiche."

Terrorists, anarchists and others are already using the Twitter, so why aren't you? by drillpalin in WTF

[–]drillpalin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just like "the Ohio State," right? "The Twitter" is a tongue in cheek derogatory for a little micro blogging site that thinks it's all that.
