Yeah.
Totally mean.
About that only thing I've ever heard that mean was this time some guy bragged on an internet forum about stealing someone's model just because he didn't like him...

Two Buddhist monks were going on a long journey in the Himalayas when the younger monk noticed that no food had been taken for the trip.
"Buddha will provide", was all the older monk said about it.
After days of travel with no food, the younger monk was getting faint with hunger and expressed his fears of death by starvation.
"Buddha will provide". was all the older monk said.
After another half day of travel, the monks found a dead Yak, which the younger monk immediatly proceeded to eat chunks of.
When he was done, he noticed that the older monk had not partaken and chided him for being too fastidious.
"Buddha will provide", was all the older monk said.
As the monks traveled further down the trail, the Yak the younger monk had eaten began to disagree with him. Soon he was doubled over, vomiting in the snow.
At this point, the older monk pulled out his chopsticks and said,"Buddha has provided you with a frozen Yak to eat, but he has provided me with a warm meal."

There once was a Black and White Space Marine on a Black and White bike, and being the hero type person he was, wanted to marry the Chapter Master's daughter.
So he went up to the palace and the guard naturally enquired "Who goes there?", to which he replied "I'm the Black and White Space Marine on the Black and White bike and I want to marry the commander's daughter".
"Not *the* Black and White Space Marine on the Black and White bike?" asked the guard, with a not unconsiderable amount of awe in his voice.
"Yes, I'm *the* Black and White Space Marine on the Black and White bike."
"OK, pass."
So the Black and White Space Marine on the Black and White bike proceeded up to the commander's chamber.
"Who goes there?" Asked the commander.
"I'm the Black and White Space Marine on the Black and White bike and I want to marry your daughter," replied the Black and White Space Marine.
"Not *the* Black and White Space Marine on the Black and White bike?"
"Yes, *the* Black and White Space Marine on the Black and White bike."
"OK, if you complete three tasks, you may take my daughter's hand in marriage."
The commander told the Black and White Space Marine on the Black and White bike. "Your first task is to slay the dragon on Xylon III."
On his way out the guard once again asked "Who goes there?", to which he replied "I'm the Black and White Space Marine on the Black and White bike and I want to marry the commander's daughter."
"Not *the* Black and White Space Marine on the Black and White bike?"
"Yes, *the* Black and White Space Marine on the Black and White bike."
"OK, pass."
The Black and White Space Marine then proceeded with ease to kill the dragon and six months later returned with the head of the foul beast.

Subject: Re:Tell the funniest joke you ever heard.
Shortly after the death of the Hunchback of Notre Dame, the new Cardinal found himself in need of a new bell ringer and so he hired several cryers to stand in the various open squares of Paris, calling out for applicants. The next morning he awoke and found a long line of prospective bell-ringers outside the doors of the cathedral.
One by one he admitted them into the cathedral, and one by one he walked them up the long flights of stairs to the bell tower. As they walked he spoke with each of them, learning each man's history, learning of his faith, and judging his character. Each in turn would ring the great bell, never knowing that the Cardinal was silently judging them on their character more than their ability to ring the bell. While many of the men who applied were quite able to produce a loud and clear ring from the bell, none measured up to the Cardinal's estimation of a true and proper Christian. After interviewing a score of prospects, the Cardinal began to despair that he would never find a decent man of honest Christian faith worthy of ringing the great bell at this great cathedral.
He returned to the doors and called forth the next of the applicants. A young man stepped forward and the Cardinal realized with a shock that the man had no arms.
"Young man, you have no arms," the Cardinal objected. "How can you hope to ring a bell?"
"I have faith in God that I shall find a way," he replied earnestly.
The Cardinal was intrigued by this answer, and invited the young man to follow him up the stairs. As they walked they discussed matters of faith and theology, and the Cardinal found himself quite impressed with the young man. He had been born without arms, and yet never in his life had he hardened his heart against Christ, and instead found his affliction to be a gift from God. He had learned through his own adversity to appreciate the struggles of others, and while he knew some had turned him away, he carried with him only the memories of all those good Christian souls who had seen his burden and offered their friendship, charity and kindness.
By the time the pair reached the bell, the Cardinal was certain that he had found a man possessing all of the character and good faith he could desire in a bell-ringer. But he was unsure that this noble young man would be able to actually ring the bell.
"Here it is then," he said as he gestured to the bell. "But I don't know how you'll ring it."
"Worry not, Father," said the young man. "I will use my face."
"Your face?"
Without an answer, the young man backed up to the very wall of the small room, then ran forward and launched himself at the bell, slamming his face into it with all of his might. The bell rang dully and the young man staggered back, his nose a broken and bloody ruin.
"My god!" shouted the Cardinal. "That was horrific! I'm sorry, my son, but no. I can't allow this. I'm afraid I can't hire you."
"Please Cardinal," begged the man. "All of my life I have wanted nothing more than to ring the great bell at Notre Dame. The pain does not bother me at all, for my faith in God protects me from all suffering. I desperately want this position, will you not reconsider?"
"I'm sure your faith is strong, but I simply can't allow it," the Cardinal protested, but the look in the man's eyes said his protest were to no avail, and so the Cardinal sought another tack. "Besides, that ring wasn't nearly loud enough. No, no, I'm sorry."
"Wait Cardinal, give me one more try."
The Cardinal held up a hand to protest further, but the young man was already backing up and preparing for another charge. This timee however he did check to see what was behind him, and so he backed directly towards a window. The protesting Cardinal tried to shout a warning, but the young man was ignoring his protests entirely, and so he tripped and stumbled, falling backwards through the window.
The Cardinal rushed to the widow ledge but it was too late. Far, far below him lay the young man, his body broken and twisted by his impact on the square below. The Cardinal dashed out of the room, leaping down the stairs three at a time, until he was at the doors of the cathedral. He pushed his way through the throng of applicants that had gathered around the poor young man's body. As he stood over him he quietly offered him the final benedicition.
As the Cardinal finished hiss prayer, the dozen or so applicants watched him. Finally one of them spoke up.
"Say Cardinal, who was he?"
"I don't know," the Cardinal answered. "But his face rings a bell."
Okay, I've unleashed this one in at least two Dakka joke threads before, and I was trying to hold back but now I'm unable to keep it in any longer. I heard this joke from my high school biology teacher, a prim, petite, irritatingly perky woman two years out of college herself, in 1984.
A man starts having a sharp pain in his arm, and so he goes to the doctor to find out what is wrong. The doctor tells him that he has just taken delivery of the latest in medical diagnostic machinery. All the man would have to do is pee in a cup and submit the sample to the machine for analysis and the cause of the problem would be revealed. The man is skeptical, but he pees in the cup anyway and brings it to the doctor. The doctor puts the sample in a slot in the front of the machine and presses the big red button. The machine clanks, hisses, whirrs and smokes for several minutes, then a slip of paper issues forth from another slot in its front. The doctor says to the man that he has tennis elbow, and that he should put a hot towel on it for a couple of hours, then he's be fine.
The man angrily replies that not only is there no possible way that a machine could figure that out from a urine sample, but the doctor could have figured it out from a five minute examination. The doctor says that he should perhaps try again tomorrow. The man agrees, and stomps out of the doctor's office, palming a urine sample container on his way out.
The man then heads home, telling his family what happened and how he is going to get the doctor back. He then has his wife, his son, his daughter and his dog pee in the cup, and then he pleasures himself, contributing that issue to the cup as well. He returns to the doctor's office the next day and gives the doctor the sample he collected the night before.
The machine does its thing, taking much longer than before, nearly shaking itself to pieces and belching forth black smoke before spooling out a great long slip of paper. The doctor looks at the paper, looks at the man, looks at the paper and then says to the man "Your wife has herpes, your son is gay, your daughter is pregnant, your dog genuinely does become sexually aroused at the sight of your cowboy boots and if you don't stop pleasuring yourself, your tennis elbow will only get worse.
