Dear leprous ass-canker,
I just wanted to let you know that you have completely fucked up my life. If you knew shit from shinola you would be dangerous. I have decided to pretend that I am adopted because you have been busted one too many times. I have sometimes looked the other way, which makes me uncompassionate and unsympathetic.
This time you have hit an all time low, even for you.
I have never shirked my responsibility to tell you that you are a drain on my mental and financial resources. You would be so much better off if you would just lay off of the welfare and get a job. You must be the product of inbreeding. You are SICK! It is time for you to stop being a leech. Let this also serve as notice that all future visits have been cancelled as I have better things to do.
Drop dead you stupid cow,
ME
PS: Please do not reply back, I never want to hear from you again. I need time to report your whereabouts to the repo man.
Saw this chez Snoringkatz and had to play along!

What Your Taste in Chocolate Says About You |
 You are sweet, mellow, and easily satisfied. You don't like anything too intense and dramatic. Deep down, you're a kid at heart... and you're nostalgic for the past. You are dominant and a bit over powering at times. You're so brilliant, you have trouble letting anyone else be in charge. While people respect you, they find you to be withdrawn and aloof. You love the feeling of accomplishment. You enjoy doing what's important. You feel lost when you have to do frivolous tasks or hang out with shallow people. |
Seen at Grumblebunny's. Cranky, next time the raccoons give you trouble, you can see that I'm perfectly qualified to save you.
See how you rate here.

What Animal Were You In Your Past Life? | |
 | You were platypus. You were eccentric and unclassifiable and it still shows. Your strength lies in your diverse associations with all walks of life. Although many people try to identify you, only you know your true self. You're a self-thinker and a bit of an introvert. |
