What if I stated it out loud?
What the hell would you DO?
SmashtheState, I accuse you of stealing money from the panhandler’s union and donating it to the Sea Shepards.
Surely, you can’t be serious?
I heard Smash used union funds to buy $240 worth of pudding.
Awwwwwwwwwww yeaaaaaaaaaah
I want to know how he justifies spending the people’s hard-scrounged money on a fashionably white, middle-class, conscience-salving, feel good but do nothing useful cause such as saving whales. It’s typical of the petit bourgoise mentality to get maudlin and sentimental about animals being killed half a world away when there are children are starving in our very own streets. Unless it’s a finely wrought and elegantly ironic epater against the Japanese bourgoisie, in which case kudos.
Black Sabbath 8-tracks.
Oh dear sweet God. “The guy who writes our press releases has to leave the room every fifteen minutes or so to take a sip of hand sanitiser.” Well, I guess he does live a hand-to-mouth existence.
Never mind all that. He can start his crusade against private property by giving me his computer.
And all the money that people are talking about him embezzling from the OPU.
I would like to make… A Modest Proposal. …
Well played, sir or madam. Made me groan out loud. Of course now everyone in the coffee-shop is looking at me 
You are all SO on the list now. That’s right. No more Canadian panhandlers will be asking YOU for money or cigarettes. That that!
Waiter !
I’ll have what HE is drinking 
“Humanly”? It’s not physically possible for him to be a bigger douchebag, or he’d collapse under his own gravity.
Thank you, Scylla, for in your own imitable but hard-to-equal way you call out the self-important ineffectual dipshit hippy grandiosity of the likes of Sea Shepherds, but also because through these thread responses, you remind us that for every self-important ineffectual dip who uses a sincere cause to get publicity and their own boat and TV show, while making the cause look silly and infuriating those who want results, there are many, many small, upstart, local self-important ineffectual dips who toil away in anonymity at the hometown level trying to push forth a sincere cause but at best only get a message board post in which to look and sound silly.
Just you wait until the OPU has its own TV show! We’ll all be able to say we knew them when!
I am […click, click, churrrrrrr, click, churrrrrrr, click, click …] Iron Man!
I think they do already. It’s called ‘Bumfights’ if I’m not mistaken.
Good grief.
I’ll address this so you don’t frett all weekend.
Think about it. This is the BBQ pit. God doesn’t get respect here. Complain about your house burning down and three posts later someone is asking what the hell you did to cause it and you probably deserved it anyway.
I don’t know you from Adam. You don’t know me from Adam. I don’t think we have even conversed directly here on this forum. I live thousands of miles from you. How would I know shit about your detailed financial dealings? Why would anyone with a fraction of a brain take one short sentence here as anything significant? I am sure there is one sentence on the internet somewhere that has billfish doing something really bad (internet, a billion monkeys with typewriters…).
This is the Pit, where pile ons are the standard. Liberal? Give em hell. Conservative? Give em hell. Anything? Give em hell and pile it on.
The pit is the place to put folks in “their place”. Nothing is sacred here.
And plenty of folks here deserve it on one thing or another. Hell, some folks like it!
Now, I am going to say a few things. They are not made to make me feel superior. They are not said to make you look bad or whatever. They are honestly said in hopes that good things will come from them.
Your posts borderline on the “conspiracy nut” type. I would not be surprised that in your heart you actually care for peoples well being. That you want good things for good people. For the downtrodden. For the unfortunate.
I also have no doubt that in many ways you are quite intelligent.
But let me give you my pop-psych 2 cents worth.
It seems to me many folks that are “on the edge” mental health wise are quite smart and articulate in their own way. As well as quite active in one fashion regarding their special cause.
You seem to fit this bill. And folks like that often seem to go over the edge sooner or later.
Seriously, do you have any “normal” folks you interact with on a regular basis that keep an eye on your “mental balance” so to speak? If not, you need to find some IMO. The panhandlers arent gonna cut it. Nor are people on the internet. Real life folks that interact with you in person on a regular basis are what you need .
Forgive me if you take this as condescending as shit, but from where I sit, it looks like you are one mental overload from the permanent flip out.
I sincerely hope you have someone looking out for you. And that you are watching out for yourself mentally speaking.
Forgive me if you take offense at this.
Best wishes and good luck.
Blll
Yupper, this is where we all come to beat the shit out of each other. That’s what the Pit is for.
And occasionally, pie recipies.
“What sort of pies??”
