You, Captain Bathrobe, have failed to attain your dream of carving a wood model of every US aircraft carrier of the 20th century. Your hair does not smell of the more pleasant fruits, but rather of boysenberries or perhaps grapes, and your manner of dress is, at best, adequate. You have never successfully corrected for Heisenberg uncertainty, and your posts have never been of such excellence as to induce James Joyce to travel into the future in an attempt to plagiarize them.<br /><br />I'm sorry I had to be so harsh but that's been on my chest for a while.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9111611851606292564.post-59050582780518640882011-02-27T15:26:20.418-06:002011-02-27T15:26:20.418-06:00David, it's a thing these days.I wish I could ...David, it's a thing these days.I wish I could remember where I saw it.

CB to the rescue! Just don't trip on your frayed attire in an attempt to fly . . . <br />I can't be a sardonic asshole all the time, which, admitted, if a feminist called out on it, they might have a partial case. Partial, because there is always a purpose behind what I do. <br /><br />"For example, I took your painfully crafted "shallow as a petri dish" comment--a turn of phrase about which you were no doubt quite proud--and turned it against you by pointing out your penchant for calling people fat and stinky."<br /><br />Gotta call a spade a spade, and you discounted (or didn't even register) the crafty ways I utilized those slags.

Get sterilized. </i><br /><br />Now, see, this comeback has potential, but it misses the mark. I mean, all you're really doing is making fun of my screen name. Comparing me to Adam Sandler could have been a zinger, but you had to go and make it a "talentless Adam Sandler look-a-like"--which I guess implies that you believe the real Adam Sandler actually has talent, thereby undercutting your position somewhat. And what the hell is a "bottomfinder" anyway? Is that like a dowsing rod that locates booty instead of water? If so, sign me up. As for getting sterilized, I was planning on making an appointment for that very thing. Thanks for the reminder.<br /><br />So, yeah, a mediocre effort at best. If I may make a suggestion: insults are best when they contain at least a grain of truth about the person being insulted. Find out what's important to that person, then tweak them about it. For example, I took your painfully crafted "shallow as a petri dish" comment--a turn of phrase about which you were no doubt quite proud--and turned it against you by pointing out your penchant for calling people fat and stinky. That had to have stung a little bit. You, by contrast, just made up a bunch of fanciful shit about my screen name. My first response on reading it was confusion rather than irritation. Your attempted insult didn't sting because it didn't hit me in any vulnerable place; it didn't cleverly mock something I care about, nor did it point out any of my (many) personal faults in a pithy and amusing manner. <br /><br />In fact, you probably made a mistake by responding at all, since in doing do you telegraphed that my taunt had found its mark. In such cases, it's usually best to ignore the provocation or respond with some mild self-deprecation or irony (i.e., "yeah, well you're a poopy head!"), thereby demonstrating that you can take it as well as dish it out.<br /><br />Just a bit of constructive criticism--make of it what you will.Captain Bathrobehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09973484859938392410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9111611851606292564.post-45364761040871768522011-02-26T16:34:23.663-06:002011-02-26T16:34:23.663-06:00so then what of the women in sudan and DRC who are...so then what of the women in sudan and DRC who are continually gang raped and then killed?

This is simply false; the numbers aren't even close: again, while the estimate of the total number of people (male and female) raped in prison each year is 88,500, estimates of the total number of those raped per year (outside of prison) range from about 200,000 to more than a million (the real number is probably closer to the latter)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00569290850910434331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9111611851606292564.post-49549522833128817532011-02-25T09:42:34.620-06:002011-02-25T09:42:34.620-06:00Wow, this thread got childish really fast.Wow, this thread got childish really fast.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9111611851606292564.post-80538842556140663842011-02-25T07:51:15.943-06:002011-02-25T07:51:15.943-06:00"Wytch, please do not respond with "I kn..."Wytch, please do not respond with "I know you are, but what am I."
