[quote name="Zseni"][quote name="Entropy Stew"][quote name="Zseni"][quote name="conflictNo"]If I wanted to start a Gramin Bank-style cooperative for men to increase their buying power to purchase MORE MORE MORE beef jerky, I could. I wouldn't have to answer to anyone. cNo[/quote] This was exactly the sort of answer that should have been handed to me the instant I brought the whole jerky mess up. Adroit, direct, simple, funny, and I can't think of any way to answer it without sounding like a <i>total sissy girl</i>.[/quote] Instead, Ray! by took the match by comedic attrition. How droll. -/ES/-[/quote] You're a hard guy to criticize because I don't know whether your comedy, manliness, or judgment is more suspect. I mean I could go for the cheap shot, like "Anna Nicole Smith called; she wants her hair, meds, and unemployment checks back!" But that's so obvious. I'd rather just say it and then claim I'm too classy to actually mean it. You know, Nietzche was a closet case who suffered terribly from indigestion to the point that it caused insomnia, and his dreadful eyesight coupled with his tiny handwriting and compulsive writing habit left him with crushing perpetual headaches. That's you! You can't stop writing even when everything you put down is painfully gay. Even in your incessant self-mythologizing you're just like that - virginal, jobless, desperate for human contact, and constantly suffering - except without the genius. But hey, I'm comically healthy and due at work in a few hours to help make America better. I may not be funny, ES, but I don't have to be funny when I'm <i>right</i>. [/quote]
