the grumpy old man thread
What is all this about being "the proud member of" this or that team?
Is there anything laudible about being part of a pack of (enter insult here)? Is there any merit in having an online personality?
My personal opinion is, that the net, and certainly play-sites, should be there to make a fool of yourself, and all this "warrior" or "wizard" stuff is just plain juvenile at best.

There, that is my two cents worth of grunt.

AND I ALSO HATE BEING CALLED BUDDY! IS THAT SOME KIND OF INSULT FOR SOMEONE FROM BELGIUM????????????????????????????????

*GRUNT*

tom hanks
Perhaps something more controversial: I also hate Tom Hanks, all his movies are just.... plain embarassing ..... His attempts at morality, .... hey, I'm Tom Hanks, I'm the last decent man on earth .... what a creep. I'm sure nobody really liked him at school.

His latest movie about the alcoholic, womanising, moronic politician, presented as the all-American standup guy! This man was ten times more sleazy than Ollie North, and Ollie at least had to defend himself in front of a tribunal! And justifying this movie by saying: hey DOWN WITH HYPOCRISY, that is exactly the same that the French Pres says about running around with that little tramp Bruni.

Where has America's innocence gone? Because there has to be a market for this kind of trash.

We Europeans have long thought that Americans were lovable naive fellas, like Cary Grant or Jimmy Stewart. No longer.

I like Cary Grant and Jimmy Stewart..........great actors......some others in that era.....Gary Cooper, Randoph Scott, Gregory Peck.....just to name a few.

as for Tom Hanks...........I really liked "That Thing You Do", it was a very fun movie..........and being as I play guitar and always dreamed of writing a hit song......I guess I was somewhat biased.

just my thoughts.

grumpyness.......
is a luxury few can afford. In fact, in these feminist times it has become a crime. It loses one one's job, unless one is a civil servant, and even that is no guarantee nowadays, in these new times of positivistic feministic barbarism.
Perhaps physical exercise helps. But a real man does not BELIEVE in exercise. That is for Girlies who want to have a BETTER SEX LIFE. (Pills help, though).

softaire: thank you for the endorsement. Glad you like dogs. To me, dogs are only organisms that produce excrement. Too much of it already. Enjoy!

eqj2: sorry  .

DOWN WITH HILARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (by the way, have you noticed that barak o bama talks like Kermit the Frog??) Do you guys call THAT a charismatic personality?))

Well...
I just cast a full blown spell on your ass. I cast it on your pigs, your horses and your chickens too. But the
donkey was the one that looked the most suspicious so I call upon all that is evil from wizards, warlocks and
juvenile detention center primates and curse your ass and other farm animals....

So, take that...espece de petit con!

All the aforementioned should be considered "satire". Please google this term if it is not part of your
vocabulary or if it is not something you understand easily; like the french. The french default position is one
of satire and nose thumbing...

If that doesn't help; please google "self help".

I take my leave.
