There is one of those inflatable thingies up the road from me - it is across the street from a "bible church".

Emblazoned on the "chest" (vertically) is "JESUS"....


So apparently their god is a skinny white guy who is a total windbag - that goes whichever way the wind is blowing......

That's my take-away.....

Ford vs Chevy, Cowboys vs Washington, Peanut butter in chocolate, chocolate in peanut butter, Apple vs PC.

If I started a thread about pocket lint, you'd argue navel lint is better.

Ok captain contrarian.  Do you ever relax and have fun?

I love AC/DC, but it wasn't just Angus's duck walk, he really pumped his head back and forth at a fast pace, and it makes me wonder if he does not now have health issues from doing such. His head bangs were violently fast.  

You attempted a joke, I told you it wasn’t funny. I explained why the joke doesn’t work,  suggested an improvement, and did this politely and without rancor. This is called ‘constructive criticism’. You responded with irrelevancies and insults. This is called ‘orange turd behaviour’.

Less filling, tastes great. Coke vs Pepsi. 

Got it.

Sorry, but you not getting my joke, or finding my humor bad does not mean I was insulting you.

You didn't find it funny. Yea, ok?

‘Less filling...’ is another of your Trump-like irrelevancies.

Calling me ‘captain contrarian’ is an insult. I don’t mind insults, just using to remind you that you continue to behave like the big orange baby. 

I didn’t find it funny, so...nothing. It shouldn’t matter to you - though it clearly does - that I didn’t find it funny. But you took my critique of something you said as a critique of you, and attacked me for it. Just like Trump would have.

Boru, I seriously don't know what to say to you. It really is not an insult to you to tell you to stop taking everything so seriously.

But you do. I am not here to be your grasshopper every time you get annoyed by my flaws. 

It really is ok if you let things go once and a while. This is not a matter of national security and neither you or I have control of the nuclear codes.

Relax.

I’ll dicker ye a fair dicker: I’ll stop correcting you if you can remember a polite request I made to you two years ago (which you snarkily threw back in my face) and act on it.

2 years ago? I cant even remember what I had for breakfast this morning. 

Boru, I really can't crawl into your brain and decide for you what you think. But I do not always disagree with you. I simply think you do not understand me. But I am not going to kill myself trying to please you every time you disagree with me. 

If we are both going to expect the other to be whom we are, which we are, then maybe the middle ground isn't a bloodthirsty line in the sand, but we simply have different personalities. 

I am pretty damned sure if either of us were a victim of a car accident, and the other witnessed it, we'd give the other aid and not say " fuck them, I don't like them." 

I know I irritate the hell out of you, and yes, you annoy me. But this is the internet, it is not landing on the beaches of Normandy. You and I are not the Allies vs the access of evil. I do not see you as Hitler or Mussolini or Stalin.  It is not your legal obligation to like me, or my legal obligation to like you. But get real, if either of us truly thought the other was a direct threat to the other, we wouldn't simply be fussing on a website at each other. 

You are not my enemy, I have never considered you one. But I also am not going to blindly agree or ignore  everything you say.

Wow. That’s a lot of words to say nothing.

If you two ever meet you'll fall into each other's arms and there will be much smooching.

I wouldn’t fuck Brian with YOUR dick.
