Because saying "I am about to make a proposal which you will be unable to turn down" is a lot less intimidating than "I'm gonna make you an offer you cannot refuse"

I was saying you don't need a proper way to say it. I don't fucking know, I haven't even seen any of the Godfathers, I've just heard the line. (I assume it comes from the Godfather)

just because i don't talk at night doesn't mean that I am quiet. I posted multiple times during the day for lynchings, albeit i failed at getting them right.

for some reason this reminded me of that mathnews comic (waterloo math faculty paper) where the mathie is being held for ransom or something and he's told "im going to make you an offer you can't refuse"
a hilarious answer follows but i can't find the comic halp!

If I die, please lynch Fakesteve, shallow[bay], tracil and live2win. That is all.
You'll be happy with the results.
