The Insults Thread. - Page 19

By all means shut this down. Dowly was correct in saying that this is a bad idea. I for some reason, still feel bad about that last insult that i deleted.

Tak, You wouldn't have ruined any fun. If we wanted to insult each other that bad, we could PM.

You know what guys? This is just plain stupid. Subsim is supposed to be a forum where people can get along. When viewed in that light, this thread is, frankly, a disgusting abomination. For God's sake, one person got so annoyed that he insulted somebody over their age, and that person then felt horrible. So,

CLOSE THIS THREAD!

Actually, I never felt horrible. That was a response calculated to make RO feel bad (for which I apologize, by the way).

You need to stop posting in giant letters and trying to give orders. You're new here, and don't really know the way we work. Insults are fine, as long as the spirit of them stays pure.

If you don't like the thread, don't read it.

Ah. The fact that you had to tell that to me before I realized it myself is more embarrassing than any insult.

Damn.

Here is a good general insult I heard once in middle school if you had HBO back in 1980s where before each movie they had that little epic HBO sequence where the camera went over the little model town and the old HBO music played this little bit if you are too young.....

Anyway:

Your mother/father is so fat that before every meal the HBO Feature Presentation plays. In other words an epic meal was about to be eaten.

Please don't. You were no more wrong than I was. I got angry and did that on purpose.

My mother was no saint, not by a long shot, but she gave me my sense of humor (well, my dad had a hand as well). She made me the butt of one of the funniest insults ever, and I thank her for it to this day.

I've told the story before, but here it is again.

It was the summer of 1968. I was staying with my mom and her third husband. He gave me permission to put up dozens of posters on my bedroom wall. I had pictures of planes and cars, and rock stars. One of them was a full-face portrait of Jimi Hendrix. My mom had recently joined the local Eagles lodge, and two old biddy hens decided to snoop around and see if mom's house was clean enough for them. When they got to my room they looked around disapprovingly at all the pictures. One of them saw Jimi. Her jaw dropped and she said "Who? Is? THAT???" (you have to remember that the '60s were still quite racist, especially in places like Utah)

I was about to explain all about Jimi Hendrix, Rock God exraordinaire (especially to an 18-year-old budding guitar player), but I barely had my mouth open when mom said "Oh, that's Steve's half brother. We don't talk about him in our side of the family."

They gasped and were out the door so fast it made my head spin. I still laugh about it 44 years later.

LOL. We live, we learn. Well, most of us anyway. I wonder about myself sometimes.

I've never known Steve to be the angry sort, he just has a mean way of acting happy.

He, too, is God’s handiwork.

Well. It worked. I have a conscience. Something you wouldn't know anything about.

(One more. Couldnt resist.)

Forgetting isn't the same as not knowing.

You must be careful trying your wit against Steve. Often the hunter will track his prey deep into the forest not realizing he's supper.

Wisdom comes with age.

I am not as old as the rest of you.

Your knees probably don't hurt either...

Now, put the soda and chips down and go to bed so you can be fresh for school.

That's not an insult. That's a summation, and a good one.

And LOL again. I do indeed have a conscience. I consider it one of my flaws.
