   It's just like Dreckery to stop by, rifle your refrigerator for food to   
   gum and then take a shit on your coffee table. I meant that figuratively   
   but on second thought I see other possiblities that hit much closer to   
   Shitkickerville. Poor Ducky Mallard.   
      
   Let me sum up:   
      
   FUCK OFF, DRECKWEASEL! FUCK OFF, DRECKWEASEL! FUCK OFF, DRECKWEASEL!   
   FUCK OFF, DRECKWEASEL! FUCK OFF, DRECKWEASEL! FUCK OFF, DRECKWEASEL!   
   FUCK OFF, DRECKWEASEL! FUCK OFF, DRECKWEASEL! FUCK OFF, DRECKWEASEL!   
   FUCK OFF, DRECKWEASEL! FUCK OFF, DRECKWEASEL! FUCK OFF, DRECKWEASEL!
