No that's like a million times worse, Larry!!  Gaylord T. Gribblefritz III
was a serial killer who terrorized the midwest for over 40 years!  That
monster murdered me and my entire family!  He would sell milk laced with
sleeping pills to school children then take them back to his secluded
ranch, where wealthy businessmen would hunt them for sport.  The
International Criminal Court has accused him of committing the worst crimes
against humanity in the last 10,000 years and the Aryan Nations has run
television ads saying this man proves that Hitler really wasn't all that
bad, after all.  The Israelis and Palestinians issued a joint statement
condemning this man's violence.  The Dalai Lama has gone on record, saying,
"Shit, even I think we should kill this fucking asshole!"

Also, Mr. Gribblefritz (or "Satan's Evil Twin" as they call him in Utah)
recently wrote an op-ed arguing that PHP should be re-written in Fortran
and that its syntax should be changed to resemble QBASIC.


How DARE you insult this list by suggesting THE MOST INFLAMMATORY WORD OF
ALL TIME?!?!  You should be Gribblefritzed (you don't want to know) for
even suggesting something so horrible!  It's like, FIFTY TRILLION TIMES
WORSE than "strong"!

Other than that, though, I think it's a good idea.  ;P
