Stalkerchick vs. Edward Elric

Stalkerchick
I'll remember the curse by tomorrow! Ahahah! It has been lifted and now it is Dark's! Teehee!!!!!
So shut-up, shorty!
Our memories aren't as short as you!!!
.......-cracks up laughing I had too- ><


Dark Wolfs Moon
Ed: "OH YEAH, REAL NICE! WHP ARE YOU TO INSULT ME FOR BEING SHORT WHEN YOUR TEMPER IS SHORTER THEN MAGGIE IS SMART?! HUH!? YOUR JUST A COLORADO HICK WITH NOTHING BETTER TO DO THAN PICK ON PEOPLE FOR BEING FUN SIZE WHEN BLAH SITTING ON THE COMPUTER BLAH BLAH HOW LONG BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH NOT SHORT BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH...
eek I'm not responsible for anything Ed says in his... rampages.


Stalkerchick
@ Ed: ....-falls over laughing-
Is funny because is true! -has shortest temper around-
But your temper is pretty short too, pal - Mr. Blow up whenever someone says anything about short!
Hey! Mah best friend be fun sized and me loves her D<
And I iz not a Colorado hick! You're more of a hick than I am! At least I have a more expanded vocabulary that excdeeds the words "Blah blah blah blah blah!"
Why, yo' vocabulary so short, I think we've found something shorter than you!


rofl


Dark Wolfs Moon
Ed: "Oh, I see. Your just so uneducated you can't grasp any words longer than 4 letters! Here, let me try and make you a sentence you can understand, 'I am not a hick, you are hick from the west that came from the middle of no where.' Oh, wait, a five letter word. Did you comprehend that? Would they have called me a genius and survived the Gate that can't even use basic English? NO! So go crawl back into your mountain cave and stay out of arguments you can't win! scream -Glares at Jay- Shut up!
Ellie: "Ugh, you guys are dumb. Ed, your short, deal with it."
Ed: "Shut up, Ellie! I don't need your two-cents on this!


Stalkerchick
@ Ed: Wow, big words for someone so short. -should really stop that, but it's SO much fun!- Now let me tell you something about your intellect, boy, I can make your body so sanguinary that people won't be able to tell if that's your coat, or your coat (<---- Ahaaa, play on words, you see what I did thaarrr? =D )
Secondly, Mountain caves are warm, cozy, and fluffier than you can ever imagine being. However, they are not as awesome as mountain dew. -tosses him a can- Oh, but be careful, it'll stud your....Nevermind.
Thirdly, dis haz be iz mah thread, and I made you talk2hand Mmhmm, yeah, I went there~
Lastly, I'm not going to hold in a joke just because your pathetic little baby mind is too sensitive to take it and laugh at yourself - what's wrong, Ed? The equivilent exchange take your balls, too? I'm sowwy if I hurt your poow wittle feewings sad
Why don't you go cry to -drops it, because she's about to cross into a line that is no longer arguing and is just plain mean-
Okay, yeah, that last thought was pretty just mean. I'm sorry ^^;
Jay: -is rolling on the ground laughing so hard- Oooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhh!!
Vodka: -sighs- Children! -retrieves Stalker's drama smashing hammer from Strawberry and points it at Stalker and Ed- >[


Dark Wolfs Moon

That Equivalent exchange take your balls" made me laugh SO HARD XD
Ed: -snarls- "I Don't have time for this. C'mon, Ellie." -transmutes a small den- SHE'S not allowed in!" -points at Stalker-
Ellie: -eyebrow raise- "Your not the boss of me, Ed. Accept your loss and take it like a man." -looks at Vodka- "Is that a hammer?"




And thus, Stalkerchick won the argument!

Stalkerchick

stare -growls furiously and roars, before breaking a Llama's neck, ripping it off, and beating the others with it. When that weapon got too beat up to use, she destroyed another Llama, this time ripping off it's hooves to use as projectiles, and killed the cows-
You can take your overlord victory, and shove it right up your a**!! Wait....You don't have one! Because you're dead! Dead dead dead!~ ^_____^
