The only that needs to be known about Robert Francis O'Rourke is that he was a member of The Cult of The Dead Cow.

The fucking lamerest group ever to be on AOL. Fucking i4m3r!

Manson's and my group were levels above that LAMER turd.

St0rmKa0s was, too. Levels above. I knew pizza, and I had TosNT2.

I invented German TOSing. If you ever saw that in action with TOSNT2, it was glorious. Overuse killed it, but when it worked, it really worked!
