A Rosassin is a member of Rosie O’Donnell’s army of irrational Crocs wearers.  They are deployed far and wide across the interweb to defend Rosie’s good name and honor.  Thundersquee!’s own Sarah once had a run-in with Rosie O’Donnell.  Needless to say, when she shared her celebrity encounter in the comments section of the now defunct Mollygood, the reaction from Rosassins was swift and brutal.  But the Rosassins were no match for the Hags; the Rosassins got a virtual bricking directly in their own virtual faces.  They have not returned since.

What are “the Rules”?

We at Thundersquee! rely on Lisa(#1)’s Rules of Interpersonal Conflict and Engagement to help determine the winner of all arguments, debates or other forms of verbal volleying that have become clouded by lack of coherence and/or logic. Chapter 11, Section 432, Subsection B of this rulebook clearly states, “the opponent who first tells the other opponent to shut his or her face, wins, unless immediately countered with a So’s Your Mom or similar retort. However, it is held to be a zero sum game until another barb is thrown. Additionally, it should be noted that a That’s Not What Your Mom Said Last Night will result in an immediate disqualification. If you talk shit, YOU MIGHT GET KNOCKED THE FUCK OUT. [Amended (June 25, 2009).]” Look it up.

What is “Lowku”?
