		<description>Dave, I never mentioned "nerds" but did mention  "band, debate club and student council" as I remember. If you want to call them "nerds' that's your call. Don't hang that on me. As for Peterson, I have long thought he had some learning disability...don't you...honestly ?</description>

		<description>P3, any other groups you want to make fun of while you're in this thread?

Let's see, you've already covered:
- Gays
- Nerds (defined as people who were in "band, debate club, and student council" in high school)
- "Retarded" people

I know that you enjoy the first amendment, but the amount of disrespect here is just off the charts.  I was really hoping that you'd just stop before those last two comments...  I'm pretty sure you don't have a mental filter at this point, because if you took a second to think before writing, I'd like to believe that you'd have reconsidered writing anything that you have in this thread.

Maybe you should take a day off from here.</description>

		<description>Don't get me wrong. Peterson is one of my favorite Vikings (easy call there since who else would it be, "The Veteran" Sharper or that toeless Animal, Henderson ?) Anyway. I get both  Twin Cities rags and expect them to have rah rah coverage (considering they have to sell to Purple piggees) and I read both sports sections (only the Press today so far), but Peterson never is quoted.

I wonder does anyone know if he is retarded in some way. I mean Childress even the "Harvard grad" Birk speak for him, but is this guy physically gifted but intellectually retarded. Can anyone get his grades or SATs from the combine ? Really, he just grins from the sidelines. Weird..</description>

		<description>No, Stu. Gays may or may not be nerds but gays are, by definition, gay. 

Example: Didn't anyone at your redactular ever ask you "Excuse me (Stusie). Can I push your stool in" ? ...no ask, no tell</description>

The thing I didn't go to reminds me of nerds, and nerds are gay.

		<description>Though purple is an obvious clue, I don't understand your puerile "redactulars". The closest activity I can imagine to them was when as a kid the "funny" boys would supposedly meet as was often rumored in someone's basement, those kids not in sports but in the band, debate club and student council as I remember. Anyway, we nicknamed their redactulars as "round pounds" because we heard they put their hands in each other's laps and then just lifted and pounded them down. We didn't know why. I didn't really get that then nor understand your redactular now. But what the Hell, I'm hetero..</description>
