Enought with the "Talk me Down" threads. What's Next? "Hey folks, I hear
that Obama uses baby seal skulls as bongo drums while he shoots smack. Swear to God, I just got the e-mail from my *fill-in-relative/coworker/emperor of zenu*. Help me debunk this!!!!!"

Do some research.
Respond to All on these e-mails and let the sender know that they are certifiably pathetic and should check themselves into the nearest woodchipper.
Find your happy place.

1. I have grown to hate the saying, "Talk me down".

Even Rachel's Talk Me Down segment is getting on my nerves.

Just jump already.

5. Tell me about it
it's like the guy everybody knows still using the terms "Show me the money!" and "Wassssuppppp". I can never remember what they say next because I'm too busy restraining my urge to slap them once or twice.

8. Me, too. I guess it's a tribute to Rachel, the fact that this has become THE overused catch-phrase
of the day in such a short amount of time.

I love Rachel but seriously, folks - could we give it an immediate rest?

4. You're being generous. I view some of them as a form of push-polling.

6. Yeah, I could see that. Real trolls, versus just cry-babies.
I'm just not sure which I hold in lesser regard anymore. :hi:

7. Hey, talk me down. Help me debunk this email I got that says
Obama uses baby seal skulls as bongo drums while he shoots smack. Any truth to this? I can't find it on Snopes.
