Here you go ,Alice (passes pom-poms). Hey, did you all see my kid? He was just here having a look around. Big guy, dark hair, 6"1", about 15? He thinks you’re all pretty cool!
Well…(stands up and reachs for John 3:16 sign) I hate to say it but I gotta go. It was sure nice sitting with you all! I know that I’m probably gonna miss all the good stuff, but I hafta nip home and feed the critters. I’ve got to work tommorow, so I probably can’t get back before it’s all over. Anybody see which way the kid went? He’s WHERE? Doing WHAT?! Hey Daniel! Quit kicking AMPM-you know what I told you about kicking people when they’re down! (grabs kid by the ear and heads for the parking lot) I’ll leave you guys the rest of the marshmallows! Bye!
:: enters fashionably late. sees AMPM on the ground getting kicked. chuckles. grabs microphone::
Maestro. How about you dim those lights. Yeah that’s it.
::standup bass comes in::
Groovy. Now I’m not the type to be a bring down or blow anybodys set, but Man that cat Esprix is one bum trip. This cat whines and whines when there aint nothin even THE MAN could hate on.
Yeah he’s like THE MAN. Not the man who hooks you up, but the man who thinks you shouldn’t have what you got from the man. Dig?
Rigghhhhhhttttt . . .ummm . …how can I bring this down to a level the hoardes will dig?
If I’m eatin some jello, and it’s a fine time me and my friends are puttin’, diggin on jello, and then another cat comes in and says “Hey man, who do you think you are diggin’ on that jello?”. “Man you think you’re so cool with you’re jello, well us proud people we don’t like people who eat jello. We eat chocolate ice cream.” I mean it’s cool if you like the ice cream, but don’t get down on us for diggin’ on the finer ways of how to eat Jello.
See that’s like hip. If you don’t get it, don’t sweat it. But this bundle of negativity with the title “Esprix”, he got to jump on the bring down train to loserville everytime the kids start havin a little session.
Now I aint defendin’ that cat AMPM, I came here alone. But esprix is the worst kind of bring down goin’ around here. Jumps the gun like it was his sweetheart and turns on his hater for the smallest trips. Dig yourself baby, you got a way to go.
Well, it seems I was only partly right. Esprix’s blank response was funnier than AM/PM’s self-demolition, but the second response wasn’t funny at all. It was Instructive.
So that’s how it’s done, hmmm?
[sub]Gotta take notes…[/sub]
See, I’m getting to love dalovindj’s posting style. It stands out, it makes me laugh, I think, “Yay!” and file it away in my handy rolodex where I try to keep everyone straight. (Well, except for Esprix - I’m never even going to try to keep him straight.)
You have a point. A small one. A mere pebble. You’re pretending it’s a boulder.
Yes, Mr. esprix can be testy or petty on occasion, and yes he has strong and occasionally inflexible opinions on certain matters. Yes, his patience occasionally wears thin and fools piss him off.
On the other side of the coin he is more often thoughtful, kind and even generous.
I’ve seen esprix absorb some pretty serious shit and let it flow off him like water off a duck’s back, because he beleived in what he was discussing.
To put it in your terms, I’ve seen him absorb a lot of hate and offer nothing back but firm and gentle reason.
Go read the three threads in his sig and learn about the quality of this person you’re talking about.
