Dear Heckle and Jeckle (a.k.a. The Bobsey Twins, Haldeman and Erlichman, Frick and Frack, and their aliases "Jan" and "wendy"),
I was wondering when (hoping, actually) you would show up, Jan, if only to prove a point. Thanks!! I lost, but not by much (dammit!). What took you so long, dude? My god!! If this was real life, the little heifer would be over in the icu ward already, if she was lucky, the way she was getting rolled, and NO helper (for good reason). I thought you cared more for your little cow. I guess I was wrong. My bad. Can't say I blame you.
The bet?
It starts with wendy getting her ass kicked and sooner or later Jan rides up on his broke-down, over-the-hill, used-up donkey
... brandishing a rusted and bent butcher knife...
... talking noise.
Never fails. Never fails. This is how you and I met, remember? Dadee said something about wendy, got his post removed, you took offense at something a poster said, your mouth got you in trouble, the rest is history.
I digress. The bet was: how long? How long would it be before Jan showed up to pose as the little wench's "savior"? Who was it that said that before? (I didn't believe it) DC? Suzi? Hmm... I can't remember...
Jan? how many times am I gonna have to... ummmm... let's do it this way...
It's hard, in discussions like these (impossible, really, at least for me), to take you seriously. When it comes to logic, religious philosophy, Nietzche, etc., you're in your element and no one here can touch you, even if they are interested (I'm usually not). On the other hand, when it comes to real life stuff, Jan, especially issues peculiar to Americans, you aren't. It's that simple. That doesn't make you a bad person, anymore than I'm bad because I'm clueless about YOUR culture.
Einstein often forgot where he lived. He didn't sweat the small stuff. Because he forgot his phone number or the street address of his home didn't make him dumb--just dumb at some things. Even computers are like that, good at some things, really stupid at others <can I get an "AMEN"?>. You're smart in your own way, Jan. I give you credit. I ain't gonna take nothing away from you. But in some other ways, very evident even online, you're as dumb as a rock. No offense meant. We are all dumb in some way or another. There are several areas where I claim absolute stupidity. Not a problem.
I DO find it interesting that you said,
Anyone who consider those wankers worthy of any merit will be incapable of understanding any point you make anyway.
You're here, right? You've joined our little discussion, haven't you? Otherwise, if we're unworthy, why join?
Know what? I'm STILL not mad atcha, dude. I got no beef with you.
===================================================
As for you, maudie, I'll deal with you later. I know why you didn't, but you should've kept your word.
