That was a Lorne Greene quote from Bonanza, actually.
I don't care if George Reeves said it. It was completely idiotic and made you sound even fruiter than usual.

Look Ass I am not like you!! so like I said before f--k off ok do you get it now?
Look Ass? Are you asking someone to look at your ass, or are you saying "Look! An ass!"? Please be more specific, thanks. I'd also suggest using a bit of punctuation now and then, as it could improve your temper.

Duckery, if your ego and narcissism make you feel like you are being "stalked," then there's nothing I can do about it. On the other hand, I guess I *could* laugh at the idea and mock you for being so damn stupid.
