Altered forum text

Certain statuses (drunk, terrorized, and head wound) will randomly alter posts made on the forum, by replacing words with other words, "stuttering", or interjecting phrases into sentences. These alterations are not visible in "preview post" mode and only show up after posting. Some people will post their message twice or thrice when they have one of these statuses, so that their message can be understood by others.
