      With a username like that, I would expect that since you’re drunk on Apple wine & therefore probably screw it up yourself… 😜

          Yeah, like you’re the first to tell me that.

          Explanation: Around the turn of the millennium, I was trying to come up with a username to use on a particular site that had a shortish character count limit for usernames. My goal was something related to the fact that I would often be making my points in arguments with “holier-than-thou” types by taking what they were saying, and turning it on its head so the offensive stuff was directed back at them.

          I also happened to learn shortly beforehand that many years ago “'ape” was somewhat commonly used as a verb to mean “imitate” or “copy.”

          I’m sure you can figure the rest out.

            And no I’m certainly not a drunk but enjoy the rich ethnobotanical history and culture of Hessen Äpfelwein but extremely superficial stereotypes are what they are.

              Sorry, I meant no offense, but was instead trying perhaps too hard to make a funny. My sincerest apologies if it landed poorly. My only excuse is that I was up much later than usual, unable to sleep due to (trying to avoid) thinking about something I had to deal with today. Fortunately, it went much smoother than expected.

              Once again, I apologize for being so crass.

            Step away from the shit-pile. Your food fight isn’t going to happen, no matter how many handfuls you lob at passers-by.
