Comedy Goldmine XI: The Atlas Forum Demilitarized Zone

I think we're comparing apples and oranges.  Mine are the cynically turned phrases of an active and quite self-aware intelligence.  The reader is invited to laugh with me, perhaps even pat me on the back for my cleverness.

But what BushOklahoma has wrought is entirely innocent - it comes direct from the almost unbearable pathos of an american working class life in an horrific backwater in 2009.  It is not a clever phrase, it is an all too real evidence of the tragedy of our sick, sad society.

DWTL's best moments were still with Texasindy.  By far.

Man, I forgot about those.  Everyone thought she was so awesome, but thankfully I exposed that fat ugly bitch

If I were in Italy I'd probably be masturbating to the Fashion Channel in my hotel room.

Bacon King beat me to that one.

Question for Ben:  Did the UK exist before 1945?

Getting a little old now.

Last night I had a dream that I was trying to get to my polling place in dark-fictional-unfamiliar-dream-Tacoma.  I missed a bus and had to run there and got there like 2 minutes too late.  I was a little distraught until the pollworker told me that there was nothing on the ballot.  Literally.  It was a completely blank piece of paper.

I agree with my subconscious.

Thanks BK, I missed that one.

If I were paying someone to have this conversation, I would get someone with an iota of professionalism.  I am not interested in paying you anything.  It would be wasted on Mensa car stickers, anyway.  Cheers.

Yeah...been smoking way more than usual since the Spring when me and the lady classmates in college would go for smoke breaks. I'll go cold turkey in Air Force training this fall, and I don't really intend on 're-starting' after. Besides, with the way things are going, maybe someday I can tell my grandkids "Yeah...back before I was President...there was this guy named Barry who made smoking illegal..."

Doesn't it boggle anyone else's mind to prefer younger women over older? I don't mean twenty years older; that's very well be a part of it, but I mean even a couple of years older.

How does hell no work for you?
I find 19 year olds a bit more attractive than 23 year olds.

Well in practice a difference of just a couple or a few years could go entirely unnoticed, especially if the older one is young looking, or just plain better looking than the younger one.  There are just a lot of factors.  But when the difference gets to be 10 years or more, then yes, its a big factor. 

Still, I'd rather do a slim, fit, feminine, randy 50 year old than a big boned fat 20 year old tub of lard.  (I'd also rather do a slim feminine Thai ladyboy than some of the fattie American ladies, but that's just me).

Are you really that insecure about yourself that you need to make a poll to try and get others on the internet to agree with you?  This forum is reaching a new low

Ever hear of BRTD? People make polls like this all of the time. I really am interested in what other people think about this anyways.

No, you just had to try and top the failure of your "Who is Smarter?" thread.  You think that I honestly care if people agree with in this poll when this forum is crawling with plenty of low-lifes like yourself

Yeah I admit there was failure in that poll. lol somebody can't accept he is wrong.

I am not wrong, this is not an issue that can even be "wrong", it is called an OPINION.  Which one is better is not a fact, people have differing opinions on the issue.  You seem to be confused as to what is fact and what is an opinion and a cry baby that not everyone slits there wrists, smokes weeds, thinks its cool to have long hair, and wear long pants in the summertime

I live in a town where the median family income is around $80,000 with <4% poverty.  That pretty much describe your typical middle class American town.

I don't see what is so funny.  The idea that a family makes a comfortable yet not ridiculous living sums up middle class America.  Lower class America?  Of course not.  $80,000 in New Jersey is also equivalent to about $40,000-$50,000 in other areas

Also Goldmine-worthy.

Apparently the top 25th percentile of income is what DWTL thinks is average.

[DownWithTheLeft]

I said it signified your typical MIDDLE CLASS town, anyone that makes less than $25k can certainly under no circumstances be considered "middle-class"

46% of households make at least $50k, so you make my point exactly that the average of these people (who for the most part constitute the middle class) is near $80,000

The average middle class when you consider how expensive New Jersey is, is around $80,000.  Average upper class would exceed household income of $120,000, average lower class would be less than $40,000.

I never once claimed that the average household made $80,000, but rather that a median income of $80,000 considering the high cost of New Jersey, constitute a typical middle class town.  That graph proves my point

[Filuwaúrdjan]

You know, that use of "middle class" would make sense in a British context. Maybe Fluffy is secretly European.

Anywaaay...

You haven't gotten trashed in..."About a week?"  And you're using that as proof that you're not a drunk?

New Jersey's median household income is 67,035 and the poverty rate is 8.5%.  So, $80,000 median and <4% poverty town would be upper middle class at the worst.

Upper middle class really isn't the uninsured demographic.
