What is it that when a fuckin jackass is pitted, all the other fuckin jackasses get all jealous, and have to dive in trying to out-do each other like this is a fuckin jackass competition?

Do you want a medal?

A nice shiny participation medal for ALSO being a fuckin jackass?

Have you even once added anything remotely of substance to a conversation here? No really, think about it. Your zingers would have a lot more impact if you were more than a rather dour clown.

Well, no wonder you’d pity me. After all, you are a retired nurse, former paralegal and 70 something. How could I match you? Also, I seem to remember you mentioned once or twice your son is a doctor.

I’m curious though, I know your avatar is you as an 8 yr old. Has your expression ever changed since that pic was taken? I imagine not.

You’re more than welcome to read all of my fifteen-plus years of posts and find out for yourself.  
BTW, The answer is clearly yes, your board participation on the other hand…

I guess you used up all the good stuff the years before I joined. More reason to pity me, I suppose.

You could learn from ASL. He’s clearly dumber than you but his farcical attempts to announce he’s ignoring me have a loveable idiot quality about them. You act like you’re slumming but awesome at it anyway, when you’re not.

You shouldn’t think so little of yourself. Self esteem is important!
