"Son," he said without preamble, "never trust a man who doesn't drink, because he's probably a self-righteous sort, a man who thinks he knows right from wrong all the time. Some of them are good men, but in the name of goodness, they cause most of the suffering in the world. They're the judges, the meddlers. And, son, never trust a man who drinks but refuses to get drunk. They're usually afraid of something deep down inside, either that they're a coward or a fool or mean and violent. You can't trust a man who's afraid of himself. But sometimes, son, you can trust a man who occasionally kneels before a toilet. The chances are that he is learning something about humility and his natural human foolishness, about how to survive himself. It's damned hard for a man to take himself too seriously when he's heaving his guts into a dirty toilet bowl.
Vicious slurs about Lolli wrt sexual orientation, practices, etc. Ugh.
It was that crazy coincidence that made for so much win in th penis thread. It was just so spectacularly weird and from left field, yet so precisely appropriate for him to have done.Out of curiosity, I just googled his nick again. He's been banned from a couple of forums since then, including the Ron Paul forum, where a moderator changed his user title to "banned troll." It boggles my mind that he a) still uses that nick, b) according to my search, hasn't deleted his account at the penis enlargement site, and c) used that nick to register on a fucking penis enlargement site in the first place, but whatever. As long as he's not here.
Yes, Timmy was. But he wasn't hateful. I found the bigotry directed at Lolli to be beyond the pale. Timmy's just an annoying brown noser.
Too bad the original penis thread is deleted.

Flag Day Ceremony at the local Elks lodge! It was really nice.
Fundraiser concert at the Fairgrounds, benefiting the Elks Scholarship Fund for low income kids here in the county! Band is called Savannah Jack. They are a new country band, but I think they might go big soon. They were awesome. Played for about 1 3/4 hours for only about 100 people, but they seemed to enjoy themselves and have fun!

Sorry about the crappy quality. Phone pics tend to be blurry when they enlarge.

Sarah got hella issues
In the future, the Berlin wall will be a mile high, and made of steel. You too will be made to crawl, to lick children's blood from jackboots. There will be no creativity, only productivity. Instead of love there will be fear and distrust, instead of surrender there will be submission. Contact will be replaced with isolation, and joy with shame. Hope will cease to exist as a concept. The Earth will be covered with steel and concrete. There will be an electronic policeman in every head. Your children will be born in chains, live only to serve, and die in anguish and ignorance.
The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference.
Ya'll's just igno'ant!

Well John's issues are obvious. Sarah points them out more than adequately in her diatribe.
But John doesn't repay the compliment by pointing out Sarah's issues.
And she certainly has them - namely you will never settle down and be happy if you keep going out with "arseholes who are savage and uncivilised". Most women realise this as they grow up, despite the fact that the savage, uncivilised arseholes are the ones that attract most women - a fact which is a large part of the problem of going out with them.
Some of the pie charts were great. Some not so great. The Girl Speaks Truth to Duckie comic was sweet. This is what all the girls-best-friend-only-kids need to know so they can get on with their fucking loser lives.
What you and John fail to realize is that Sarah's mature enough to know that her highschool dating does not equal choosing a life partner. She just wants to have a little fun. Probably when she gets out of college she'll be on the look out for the more thoughtful and mature, educated and highly motivated career man. But in highshool she want's excitement and fun. Simple as that. John's the kind of guy that's going to fall in love after his first blow job and who wants that fucking anchor all the way through college?

I liked it better, I actually don't much care for "insightful" geek comics like that; what the fuck is Sarah doing hanging around with this guy whom she so obviously detests, why has she kept all that shit bottled up for Finagle knows how long, and where does she get off vomiting all that out in that oh so humorous rant all the while pretending to be somehow superior socially and morally? It's a retarded/stupidly impossible situation in real life meant to highlight the stupidities of other real-life scenarios. And I certainly don't buy it as self-deprecating meta-humour.

Clearly its not a remotely possible AR conversation. That's not the point. The rant is an expose of how it actually is, and why Duckie didn't get the girl in the end. Sarah probably likes John's shoulder to cry on when her current fling goes awry. He's safe and predictable when she needs safety and predictability. But he shouldn't get any ideas that her using him means she's willing to do the romance thing. Its not fair but what is? This is life we're talking about, right?
