Now, Mark, who said *you* were the drunken redneck? I never mentioned
your name.

Well, who were you referring to?

As far as the bet goes, which is it - a month or two months.

As we are in the middle of a month, it would be impossible for you to go an
entire month,without say something that could be construed as nasty, thus
the 2 months referred to.

You say
both. I'll take that bet, regardless. Starting now.

Ok, regardless of what you may have posted in response to Jon, we are on as
of the moment this post hits ROFF.

My man Fortenberry first used the word to describe a certain person on
roff. Ken does have a way with words. d;o)

Looking too closely to antecedents for an accurate picture of usage in the
vernacular is generally a mistake. None of those definitions does justice
to the word 'putz' as it is commonly used in American English. For example,
the anatomical association has been all but lost, and the sidelong nod to
class distinctions in the German 'putzen' (cleaning) is entirely irrelevant.
Definition number 2 is the closest to describing the term as it is used in
American English, but better yet would be to simply declare it to be
synonymous with 'dork'. Thus, as has been seen here for years, kennie's
insistence on applying the term to stevie is simply another in a long series
of demonstrations of linguistic ineptitude. The word he is looking for
(forever in vain) is 'asshole'. Numerous adjectives would be applicable but
the point is moot as kennie can't write the word 'ass'. Every time he
tries, he gets an 'r' and an 'e' stuck in his ass and ****s an 's'. Of
course, none of this should be construed as indicating in any way that
stevie is NOT a putz or a dork.......it's just that such a monumental
asshole tends to absorb and reduce to a uniform brown sludge anything else
that might be thrown in its direction.

Aw hell, some garage in Michigan has my car with most of my gear and all you
got was a stinking self inflatable mattress, you chose the wrong door

Yep, but no hurry. I have a twin since Mrs. Knight's idea of camping these
days is a Westin hotel, I'll just get it next time we go fishing.

It's not friends I'm all that worried about.
