How many attempts did you have before you could keep a straight face?

[SisyphusRedeemed]

@TheNamelessCharacter That was actually easier than having to watch a HTWW video.

[ZangaroZen]

@SisyphusRedeemed, ROTFLMAO.

Great straight face video, had me in stitches.

Let me guess HTWW one starred this video, removed it as a response to his channel, deleted all your text posts and blocked you?

[SisyphusRedeemed]

Glad you liked it. I try. (Might I humbly recommend subscribing, if you haven't already?)

I didn't even try to post it as a reply, nor have I ever posted on his videos. I know exactly what will comes of that.

"Syphilitic Grandmothers" would be a GREAT name for a band.

[SisyphusRedeemed]

Somehow I doubt telling a girl 'Yeah, I'm the base player for the Syphilitic Grandmothers' would get one much play.

[Razorgeist]

Dammit this is horseshit I have a fetish for syphilitic grandmothers....oops I said that out loud again.

[thesparitan]

LMAO great stuff

[esj8341]

For the purposes of the elements of defamation, is Lee a public figure?

[Brandonduboff]

@SisyphusRedeemed lol at my school, we call a person as you described, "defamation-proof".

[TheGreatFoxKing]

Ain't nothin wrong with goat lovin boy!

So your defense is that Thunderf00t is not guilty of defamation, but instead that he's guilty of propagating defamation which he presumably agrees with. Gee, that put him in a much healthier light; thanks for helping.
