> [@Clothahump](#): > > My anger has never been misdirected and I am far more self-aware than the vast majority of posters on this board. Deal with it. You might want to find another phrase to use repeatedly than ‘deal with it’. People deal with your posts all the time, mostly by making fun of them. ---

I admit curiosity about how a self-awareness test would work. Is wondering how I’d do on such a test worth extra credit? ---

Use a mirror. Does he realize his reflection is his reflection or does he think he’s looking at some other asshole? ---

> [@septimus](#): > > I’m not sure this is a “Liberal” idea, but it is a _good_ idea. I often use too much TP and the toilet gets clogged … very clogged. > > Last week, in exasperation, I poured an _entire_ bottle of Mr. Muscle drain cleaner into the toilet! Now _that_ was a stupid idea! (How poisonous _are_ the fumes?) … But the toilet seems to have come unclogged. 🙂 Hint Don’t use drain cleaner it will destroy your sewer stack in your home and your sink drain p-trap, if either are made from copper. I realize it may be difficult for you to figure out but use a plunger, you might find a plunger user manual on the internet. You should use a wet shop vac on your sinks because plunging and drain cleaner is usually very ineffective especially for long haired liberals! I recommend a two hole facility outback. Have a basket of corn cobs and a sears catalog on hand for the dirty work. No flushing required, just throw in a [bag of lime](https://cabinlife.com/articles/article/maintaining-the-outhouse) every year and use a backhoe every 10 years or so to dig another [crapper](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Crapper). In a pinch, hang it over a log and use big sycamore leaves or you could work it out with a pencil. ---

Feh, get with the times. We liberals use kale leaves and Restoration Hardware catalogs, thank you very much. ---
