Ignorant piece of trash: “Fuck you Earl, you loser!” Ignorant piece of trash’s brother: “No! Fuck you Mike! I’m a good dad! Even when I was on crack I still took my kids to the fucking park every day!”
I don’t believe in astrology!
I don’t believe that ancient astronauts built the pyramids!
I believe that the theory of evolution is the best explanation for the diversity of life on this planet!

One of the guys that I used to work with was issued a certificate from his old boss honoring the fact that he had not killed anyone all year. He was kinda scary looking, so I was never sure if he *had *killed someone prior to winning the award.

His boss? Like mob boss? Crime boss? I’m kind of disappointed that my employer has not given me a certificate for not stabbing all the incomptetent reporters in the head with my good red pen.
Um, I do not stab stupid reporters in the head with pens. As much as I would like to.

This thread reminds me of a fine speech delivered by Sydney Poitier in Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner. It has been awhile, so I’m summing this up out of memory.
His dad’s giving him a ration because SP is choosing to marry a white girl. Dad recites how he worked hard as a mailman and fed and clothed and cared for SP, and put him through school, and states that SP now owes him.
SP replies that dad did all of that because he should do it, because dads should look after their kids. SP is grateful to dad for his care, but he does not owe dad his happiness and his life.
It was a great speech. I’ll look out for the movie next time it’s on and Tivo it just for this scene alone.

Funny. That little speech always annoyed me. It certainly wasn’t dad’s obligation to work extra to get him through medical school. Dad could have said at 18, good luck with your future and the young man would have worked his way through school. Instead, Dad doesn’t retire, he works an extra 8 years. Is that what he is supposed to do? I don’t think so. I think he deserved a lot of respect and appreciation for his sacrifices. I think SP character was a little shit in that scene.
I don’t tell smokers how their bad habit is slowly causing them to develop cancer and die.
The other day when I told my boss I was going to quit my job and become a bounty hunter I didn’t leave the building and purchase a rifle. If I ever do quit my job to become a bounty hunter I will give at least 2 weeks notice.
