I did not shit on anyone “just because” it’s permitted. I expressed my view of the original post within the thread, based on the information available at the time, just like everyone here did – except everyone who decided to derail the thread topic by attacking me ten times more dramatically and viciously than anything I did here. I think it’s funny that this started because someone demanded I take flames to a whole new Pit thread. Shouldn’t he have done that too, by his own rules?
One person makes a three-line comment you don’t approve of, so five of you make ten off-topic posts to complain about it, and I’m the threadshitter? Whatever.
So you **agree ** with the one and only point I made that got people all pissed off, yet you think it makes me a douche? You’re just posting this because you think it’s fun to hijack this thread with more insults to me. I’m the threadshitter?
No, I agree that you and Rilch seem to disagree on definitions. You’re still a douche for kicking the guy when he’s clearly down, though. Sure, it’s perfectly permitted by the forum rules, but that doesn’t mitigate your douchebaggery in the slightest.
Simply put, just because you can doesn’t mean you should. If you can’t understand that very basic concept, then I again invite you to go fuck yourself.
Ensign Edison, you seem to be under the impression that the biggest point of contention was whether or not you violated some rule. The reaction you are getting is because you were being an asshole. Debating “threadshitting” is missing the point. “Fuck you. OMG, dinner with family you don’t like every single member of, only half a pound of ham to eat and just enough money for a new monitor. Fuck a whooooole bunch of you,” was a dickheaded, bizarre non sequitur of a reaction.
Are you guys having fun threadshitting and hijacking yet? What makes you think that because you think one guy did it, you should do it ten times as much for twice as long to make up for that?
The nice thing about the internet is that when something comes along and pukes and pissess all over the virtual carpet as EE has done, you don’t have to clean up after it.
HD, I feel for you. I’ve been a bit under the weather (strep throat and a sinus infection), which led to my losing my balance and falling when carrying my Christmas dinner, spilling it on the carpet, where the neighbour’s dog snapped it up. So instead of eating Christmas dinner, I scrubbed the carpet.
I hope your recovery continues well, and that you have better holiday dinners in the future. Best wishes.
I already got asked why I wasn’t eating the ham this morning. I really didn’t know how to respond other than not saying anything. Maybe I should just grab ham everyday and throw it in the trees across the road. Why didn’t anybody else take it home like they normally do if there is no problem with it? It’s really bullshit if I have to pretend that I’m eating it to prevent an argument everyday. The best outcome would have been if the dog had finished the ham off and puked it’s guts out at the owners home. I wouldn’t have to clean the carpet or deal with the ham. I can’t even explain how silly and surreal this whole ham episode has turned out so far. I feel like there is somebody filming this for a prank.
Sounds like jealosy to me: Did you spend your Christmas alone in a darkened cellar with nothing but rat-turds to eat? If not, shut the fuck up and read the OP, moron.
The OP is clearly cash strapped. He gets $100 in discretionary funds a year. He’d planned to make a week’s worth of meals from that ham–so yeah. Bitching that the dog ruined a bunch of meals that had been planned and that someone’s griping that he’s not spending the $100 a year discretionary in the right way is perfectly normal and acceptable.
You, on the other hand, are being a whiny, jealous-sounding, douche.
HD, I know you’re recovering from an illness. Have you checked into local and state resources that can help you receive job training or neurological assistance? I know resources vary widely depending on where you live but I hope you and your mother have exploited all avenues available to you. I even know people who have even moved to other states in order to get better benefits.
Sorry about the ham. Merry belated Christmas to you.
Y’know, something tells me that he had already eaten his half pound of ham before the mutt ruined the rest of it. He even seemed to be trying to appreciate the bright spot that he HAD gotten to enjoy that half pound of ham.
To the extent that HD was bemoaning his bad fortune (vis-a-vis the ham), it appeared that he was regretting the several weeks worth of leftover ham that had been snatched from him, and that he was now going to have to rearrange his food budget for the month to make up for the loss.
HD, I don’t know if this meets your standards, but have you considered trying to salvage the bone for a big pot of beans?
You know what, HD? I think this is about the most pitiful goddamned thing I’ve ever read. It has, as you say, a surreality to it that’s just made more vivid by the antics of Capt Threadshit up there, and the pathos factor is off the scale. Having to confront the savaged zombie that was once your coveted Christmas dinner and having the damned thing figuratively hung around your neck like the fucking albatross is just insult to considerable injury. You got a PayPal account where I can contribute to the Replacement Ham Fund? I’m serious here… This is just some totally fucked up shit, I’m just sayin’. You have my sympathy, for what that’s worth.
Damn. Just… damn… :eek:
