Lost edge?

I think I may have lost my edge. I was about to post something in another forum and decided not to based on the fact that I knew it would ruffle too many feathers even though it was a joke. It may have been OK in here but the other forums seem full of sensitive types. That fact in itself is odd because there are probably more vegans and shoegazing hipsters in here. So have I lost it or not...that is the question.

I was going to say that a good cure all for cats urinating outside the litter box involves a plastic bag and a lake. I'm not too fond of cats.

I'm not sure it is "edge" that you are talking about.

Isn't edge a personal thing? Maybe instead of whoring your "beliefs" out for attention you should go and ride your bike and decide for yourself whether you're edge or not...just saying.

Seconded, but not in that order.

Or yes, in that order.

Wait, drugs, alcohol, bikes, cats.

I like cats. What gives you a clue?
I eat meat though, I have to, since I am alergic to grains, unless fermented.
Go figure.
