Blogunder Schlock entry.)

- DrunkScriblerian sigged "When two mods Skullfuck the same poster at the same time, the thread goes "bork?" and forgets how to count", but the fuck-scrubber got upset about it and kept scrubbing it, so
- DrunkScriblerian then changed it to "I strongly suggest you stop posting until whatever the hell you're tripping on wears off."
