Is Apterous Down Syndrome?

Post by Matthew Green »

I tried to log into apterous at 11:44 last night but instead of letting me play it looked slightly Chinese, had ketchup all down its shirt and had spit dribbling out the side of its mouth.

I tried again an hour later but apterous simply shat its pants and then asked me to marry him.

I tried one lst time at 6:32am but found apterous in a mainstream playground joining in a game of football with some older boys who then engineered a fake penalty and let apterous score from it before patronisingly, but sweetly, celebrating with him and calling him Ronaldo.

So is apterous down syndrome for everyone or is it just me?

My uncle has Down's Syndrome and he thought this was bloody hilarious.

A disgusting post. You're just jealous because you don't have an extra chromosome.

He might have had one, Ben, but he'll have wanked it out by now.

You may not be but you seem to ignore posts or don't read them before replying. Also, do you know how to quote?

I got my uncle's auntie's cousin's Down's nephew toy versions of Kirk and James Robinson for Christmas.
He loves playing with his Pocket Kirkulator and his Inhuman Calculator!

And they say boys can be bitchier than girls!
In Kirk's defence though, I think it comes from being a maths teacher - he likes people to show their working.

I hope I'm not speaking out of turn but I've always thought that Jason has come across as a bit aspergic (if that's a word), but Kirk, also being slightly aspergic himself, doesn't really see where Jason is coming from and so just finds him annoying.
