All those other guys may indulge in juvenile name-calling

to reach the lofty level of the name-calling craft that I
have achieved through many years of diligent and unstinting
hard labor. Juvenile name-calling, indeed. Harumph, sir.
Harumph.

Now *that* made me laugh. :-)

The macho **** ? That's an overreaction to the umpteenth
repetition of an offensive woof by the putz. Sometimes I
just get sick and ****ing tired of it.

I can understand that, but it just comes across as ... well, silly.
Of course I think that much of what passes for "macho" posturing is
pretty silly, and I get to see plenty of it down here in Taxsuss.

It's just that there's something really incongruent about it coming
from guys whose idea of a pastime is standing in cold water waving
graphite sticks with fur and feathers attached to a line to try to fool
a fish (which they will likely put back in the water anyway). :-) (Why
am I reminded of that pic that Willi just posted?)

The way I figure it is that there are enough assholes in "real"
life that it serves no purpose to come here to "escape" only to
alienate the folks with whom I share a common bond.


Has someone alienated you ? Does that mean you have to have
green card now ? ;-)

SWMBO is the one with the green card. :-)

I'm here mainly for the entertainment value and am
rarely disappointed. Then again, my expectations are fairly low. ;-)

Let me guess, you liked "Gigli"?

Never saw it. Who the hell talked *you* into going? They should be
negotiating peace in the Middle East. :)

Heard about it, never saw it. Sounds like a good party movie, that plus
Ishtar, we could have a bad movie night at the clave.
