Well I'm not joking - I really hate you (all people from TX for that matter) and your ugly dog. Never underestimate the power of pure hatred.

 

Ok, darkstar, this ends here. Maybe you missed the memo, but we don't allow personal attacks here at Via Chicago. If you have a problem, go ahead and send me a pm & we'll discuss it. But no further posts of this type.

Every time I come to town

The boys keep kickin' my dawg around

Makes no difference if he's a hound

They gotta quit kickin' my dawg around

Internet tough guy - PM your address and don't be surprised when I show up. You have no idea how much I get off on this.

Internet asshole - you have no idea how lame you sound. Don't be surprised when you get suspended.

Wow. I threw up a little in my mouth thinking about you just then.

This reminds me. Once upon a time I was a teenage lad driving around with my friends. We were in my cousin's beat-up Ford Escort wagon. We were turning left onto my street and next to the turn lane there was some guy by himself in a Camaro. I shouted to him "Manowar sucks ass!" (a running gag with my friends--at least one of whom liked them. To this day I have no idea if they are any good or not--just that their name makes it seem like they suck pretty bad). Camaro guy said "what's that, tough guy?" My immediate thought was "Hmm, there's a rather sharp pocket knife in my pocket, but I certainly don't want to use it." Then the light turned green. We turned left and he went straight. Then he reversed back into the intersection, apparently thought better of it, and continued going straight. He could've caught us easily in his Camaro. I'm not sure what he could've done at that point--he probably wasn't sure, either.

 

The moral of this story? Well, I've never yelled "Manowar sucks ass!" at a Camaro driver since.

I'm really surprised that it took this long, aren't y'all?

Yeah. Really hard for a guy with an e-personality like his to gain favor.

 

Like my pappy used to tell me, "That's the breaks of the game'.

 

 

OK. Back to the matter at hand. I don't have a great deal of free time. Also, I have voted for Ralph Nadar at least once. When it comes time to vote I'll vote. I will glean the information from now till then wherever I can.

 

Honestly though, you might as well just count me a "Yellow Dog Democrat" this presidential election.

The secret about being a jerk and getting away with it socially, is to contribute significantly in other ways. Humor, wisdom or talent go a long way in ameliorating being a natural born dick pain. In some circles, big rolls of money help.

 

One trick pony jerks get shunned. It's kind of a universally accepted social more.
