Hmmm. If _you_ were blind and had hairy palms yourself, I could hand you a chia pet and tell you it’s the Friggin’ Jesus, and how would you know otherwise?  
Just a though.

Watch it, man. Don’t blaspheme the Friggin’ Jesus, unless you want to personally experience the Coming of the Lord . . . all over your shoes!

OK, maybe I should step away from the computer for a while.

Hey, it’s the Pit. That means I’m free to tell blunt truths (i.e. Aeschines is an asshole) and he’s free to prove them.

First old zombie ladies and now Jesus. WHAT NEXT??? KITTENS??!!  
**Douglas Quaid** : Welcome to SDMB. Will you please start the reactor and stop this madness.

I’ve got to break in and ask a question. Does no one else use the phrase “Frigging off?”[sup]\*[/sup] Cause I’ve gotten a couple of emails from people asking me to explain the joke about Friggin’ Jesus being blind.

[sup]\*[/sup]. . . uhhh, not that _I_ really use the phrase that much. :rolleyes:

It’s funny, you bunch of naysayers, as though all I’m saying we’re just a bunch of bull. Yesterday I took note of the gas station stationed at Illinois St. and Westfield Blvd. Gue’ wha’? Fuckin’ beater car with “For Sale” painted on the windshield!

Hey, who needs C-5 zoning when you can just turn a C-4 gas station into an impromptu outside storage lot?

You can go see for yourself if you doubt it, if you live in this troubled city! Oh, and I was on Broad Ripple Ave. (which turns into 62nd St.) going west and… and… literally 10 or so cop cars going 90 mph up and down the street in a high-speed chase! Right by me several times! I think they got the guy. We’ll see what the morning paper tells us.

So I have NO PATIENCE for a bunch of invalidating, doubting mutherfuckers like you all and your goddamn wisecracks! You’re like the ignorant fucks on the Lusitania pooh-poohing the War and the dangers involved, sipping champagne cocktails, and suddenly BOO-WHAM and it’s Freedom Fries and Victory Pups under the leadership of George W. Bush. All of a sudden!

When it’s _personal_, you’re all over the Pit and MPSIMS and boo hoo and life ain’t fair. My boss stuck his dick in me, isn’t that sexual harrassment! A midget on the subway was checking out my package or my tits–I feel SO VIOLATED!

But NOOO, I’m the one insensitve to poverty, right here in this thread. Hyeah, right. If a beater were in your own front yard, you’d be oh so BEATER IN MY YARD, oh oh oh oh! And everyone one on the SDMB would be doing the reacharound for you, too.

Stupid fuckers.

After such a statement, I would expect clarification. But then, we get the following instead.

>

Huh? What does that have to do with for sale signs in automobiles?

> [@](#):
>
> that you don’t see how this city is being FUCKIN’ TRASHED?! Meridian Street used to be the pride of the whole goddamn city, but now there are beaters everywhere (subject of the OP, DUH!), crumbling old mansions with old ladies staring out the windows with nothing in their eye sockets, goddamn “gentlemen’s clubs” in the 2500 block (EQUALS = WHORES), and do you know how many people were shot here over the weekend? Like 6, mutherfuckers! Is this fuckin’ DODGE CITY, with all the lawlessness of that city? Will Monument Circle be the OK Corrall?
> 
> The falcons may pick a worm, but it is all your fault if this city falls down like Babel.

First of all, no I don’t see how the city is being trashed, I’m not sure where in Indiana “Circle City” is, I’ve never been to Indiana.

Secondly again, what does that all have to do with For Sale Signs? Had you written your rant on the premise that you (sort of) express above, perhaps it would have made more sense. As it is, you sound like a mumbling street person. You are making very little sense here.

Are you complaining about For Sale Signs, as your OP’s title says, or are you complaining about a decline in the aesthetic appeal of an area of your city? If so, you should have expressed that (and a great deal better than you are doing here).

Japan is so zen. _You’re_ so zen.

**Aeschines** , it’s clear that this board is not meeting your needs. I highly recommend that you get off the board, and off the net, and find some other way to channel your energy. Go for a jog or something. Don’t end up like a certain ex-poster did a couple years ago.

Not bad, but you need at least one line in size=10 font. And direct your rage at all of us, every last one of us in fact. :eek:

And do you really believe that anyone else would get away with this rant? It’s possible another poster wouldn’t have as quite a spectacular flameout as you’ve provided, but I’d still laugh at him or her (or it? H’or’sh’it?).

So, you’ve never been to Indiana but feel free to comment. Where’s Alaska, man? That’s like part of fuckin’ Canada! Which really is part of the USA, but that’s a different story.

In any case, start learning about what the fuck you’re talking about before you start fucking talking about it, got it?

Look at Illinois and Westfield. Investigate the facts. Where I say there are cars, there are cars. Everyone is trying to invalidate this truth by calling it a “rant.” A “rant” is not made of glass and steel. Cars are.

And this is the fuckin’ Pit, anyway. What the fuck?!

Oh, and I thought the Tower of Babel didn’t crumble; it just didn’t get finished. It was supposed to reach all the way to heaven, and god didn’t want that to happen, so he fixed it so that everyone spoke different languages and couldn’t communicate. Right? Biblical-minded Dopers, by all means correct me if I’m wrong.
