No, not Roger, he was one of the triumvirate of greats who joined in 1953

Walter the softy

No, not Walter.

& Minnie was the 2nd of the 1953 triumvirate of greats.

Plum was very politically correct really, if you thought about it, as he was a Native American character who was the good guy and our hero...

But anyway, politics aside, no, not Little Plum, he was the third of the triumvirate of greats who joined in 1953!

What a good year that was!

Which specific personality disorder is characterised by a long-term pattern of exaggerated feelings of self-importance, an excessive craving for admiration, struggles with empathy, and a strong reluctance to admit mistakes?

According to Psychology Today:

“This personality disorder is rare: It affects an estimated 1 percent of the population, a prevalence that hasn't changed since clinicians started measuring it. It may also manifest as antagonism, fueled by grandiosity and attention-seeking. In seeing themselves as superior, the afflicted naturally views everyone else as inferior and may be intolerant of disagreement or questioning”

Had no idea whether Echo was a nymph or even from the right mythology

It’s Dollhouse but I’ll give you that!

It’s actually very good once you get past the first five Fox-mandated episodes.

Should have had Amy Acker in the lead role rather than Eliza Dushku, though.

Lol, you're such a funny person. HA...ha. The complete lack of self-awareness is almost crippling in the sheer irony of this post.

Tell me, what kind of person gets offended when someone offers conciliation and mediation, gets so filled with bitterness and spite that they blatantly parakeet and google and answer, just to show they can, and then writes this crap to lay out the bitterness and spitefulness so bare that you really would have to blind not to see the very serious 'issues' of this person?

I mean, jeezus, what are you on? Is it just trolling, is it some kind of initiation ceremony or something? Your idea of hazing? Or have you always had problems coping with different perspectives?

lmfao.

Patiently waiting for a question

Albanian or something like that.
