FUBAR is an acronym that originated in the military to stand for the words "fucked up beyond all repair."
There are four kinds of people in this world: cretins, fools, morons, and lunatics.

I hold the dubious honor of being the only person never modded who has also never been to a party who in the past had a shared account with a vegetable reference that has had consensual sex with a woman who wasn't from the board that also knows what >) means and remembers the end of the golden age.
