I think you're missing the point. I just don't like you in general (mostly you're a whiner). I'm sure that if you weren't a brrrroenee I would have found something else to point and laugh at.

Have a nice day!

... .
Plus, most of the pot smokers I've known were intolerable, insufferable assholes.

Perhaps you need to get out more Joe. Just a thought.

Interesting.  You don't really know the first thing about me, so don't presume to.

Besides, my views on pot sound pretty similar to yours on casino gambling.  With the exception that I don't think pot should be illegal.  So who's the sheltered nanny statist now?

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Well no, but if I were religious I wouldn't. I live a healthy lifestyle, so there's no reason. Don't smoke, cut back on coffee, in the past cut out red meat completely, cut out soda completely, exercise daily, and so on. Read in Men's Health a while back that red wine in modest quantities, which is what I consume, is good for you too. If a person gives up anything it should be for health reasons - I mean a change in lifestyle - not because a Medieval pope whose concern was social control said it would be in one's best spiritual interest to do so.

You really need to get over yourself.

As with much of what Opebo does, it's idiotic.

Oh you're 'Ben'! - I was wondering who that was they were all loving in that popularity contest thread.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

2nd whack at Ben

Did you used to have a different name?  Holden Caulfield or Frodo or something like that?

You're thinking of Frodo, who still posts.

I have a good deal of difficulty in differentiating both toadies and bores, so, please don't take offense at my forgetting you.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

FWIW, I'd never make fun of uptight, judgmental pricks like yourself.  Guys like you are actually easier targets than retards and bronies, and even I'm not that cruel.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Kal's late to the party most of the time.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

...and I can't really get worked up

We know you can't - you've mentioned it to us before.  And with this ban, neither will Norwegians. 

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

This may shock all, but there were a lot of dumbs wandering around everywhere when I was Naso's age.

We know Torie, that's why they died out:

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Too partisan to be AG - by far. It should be filled by someone not partisan.

>Republican
>Criticizing Holder as "too partisan" to be AG

Same with John Ashcroft too, right?

Lol, Torie's becoming such a hack lately.

It's not really his fault though. It has become effectively impossible to defend the Republican Party while maintaining basic standards of intellectual honesty.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Sure, you just plop it in the frying pan and it melts wonderfully.  I won't even get into its other uses... ask Torie about that.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Judging by your posts, one would suspect you have spent a lot of time smelling paint dry.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Inks has actually become a lot better ever since he quit being such a control freak in moderation

Did that actually happen?

Yes, and I agree with BRTD

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Found a lovely picture of Maggie meeting Al on the campaign trail...

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Thanks, guys!

Mom and I are about ready to leave to meet Dad at Target to pick up my mini-refrigerator for my birthday.

Options for filling it:

1) High caloried and high sugar garbage and high calorie dinner leftovers

or

2) Water, juice, fruit, veggies......

Which do you think?

It's going to hold a combination of the two.

As in seven tubs of ice cream and a single apple?

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

FACT: Cold apples taste better than room temperature apples.

Agree.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

And politicus hands Kal's head to him on a platter.......niceeeeeeeee

And I'm approaching 30,000 after almost six years.  Somehow, I think I took a wrong turn

And what the hell am I supposed to say?

"Sorry" would be a good start

She's good.

That knife in your heart must still be hurting.

The right really needs to drop Benghazi. They're manipulating the deaths of four Americans for political gain. Does anyone really think they care about Ambassador Stevens and the three others that died? Of course they don't. If this happened under Bush (or any Republican President,) they probably wouldn't have even brought it up to begin with. Tasteless.

When I quickly saw your username, I thought you were Bacon King. I read your post and was greatly concerned. I was shocked BK would say something so asinine. I was relieved to realize it was a child and not him.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Obviously I'm not a valuable or respected voice in any sense of the word, but hey

I was just about to forcefully refute that, and then I realized I had made the same mistake Phil did.

Yikes.

Yeah, R2, best to keep your name as it always was.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

The only conservative atheist I could see myself rooming with might be Grumps.  That'd be a hoot!

I'm not atheist or a hard core conservative and I'd cut you up into pieces and toss you into the river after 5 minutes.  That would be a hoot!

gramps

Thanks, but I did edit it because it sounded like a personal threat.  But for sure, one of us would be dead after 5 minutes, that's a fact. 

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

I was alerted to this, possibly the worst thread in Atlas forum history.

Personally I find the "random Republican state legislator said something stupid omgg!!11!!1!" or "Biden/Cuomo vs Christie/Rubio, discuss with maps" or "new poll: X is leading Y by three points, up from two last week ERMAGERD MERMENTERM" threads much worse than this. At least this is interesting.

Yea who would find political threads interesting on a political forum right?

Political threads sure. Boring, repetitive, trivial and inane political threads no.

This post certainly reeks of substance that those other threads surely could not match...

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Ahem, can we get back to quoting, ladies and gentlemen? 

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

A little Inks slammage

I was unaware that it's a 'fact' that global warming is man-made.

The evidence is so overwhelming, that you have to be either a tool, in subconscious denial or an idiot not to recognize it.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

It's good to know that an otherwise laughably bad candidate supporting state-sponsored revenge killings when they're opponent doesn't is still enough to pull a tied race in this country. I was afraid we were in danger of becoming sensible or compassionate or something. Just because the revenge killings have no positive sociological effect whatsoever and the majority of the population recognizes this is no reason we should stop doing them!

Er, could you edit this post after I've corrected the original to the right form of 'their'? I'd just woken up when I wrote it; thanks.

Neh, we're glad to see your human.
