Everything To Excess: Moderation’s For Monks!
I’ve been tagged with the Six-Word Meme, by Bmac - who I will deal with later. My meme is the post title, which is by Robert A Heinlein. Admittedly, I put in a contraction - “moderation’s”, instead of “moderation is” - to adhere to the six word rule. If they can’t take a joke …
And - oddly enough - I sincerely believe its a good rule to live by - in moderation.
I am gonna tag:
While on the subject of … whatever subject I’m on, here are some more graphics:
Very true, very true. The nice thing about admitting to being an asshole is that you don’t have to give up drinking or go to any boring meetings. And you often meet a better class of people.
Who can argue with that?
Oops! I missed my favorite one:
And finally:
Here is some porn! Get your own whack-rags.

Well done indeed!

I’ve just completed step 1. Now what?
April 10, 2008 at 6:03 pm
You’re good. Repeat as necessary.
And listen to this music video I just added.

Dude! That is like one of my favorite songs. I’m an ASSHOLE
Whaleskin hub-caps… love ‘em.
A- - -S-S - - - H-O - - - L-E. Truly an American Institution.
Wow, I feel so much better now. I was all worried about even-handedness on immigration, spotted owls and snail darters, carbon footprints, and the global oil supply - and I was f***ing miserable. Now, I’m good to go.
You’re a lifesaver, McGoo.

There’s nothing wrong with being an asshole. People always get that part so wrong.
The problems occur when you try to hide it - especially from yourself!
Remember - Ya have to *be* the asshole.
Yes, and I love the lyrics to that song, and the way the just yodel with joy at being an asshole!

Just think how much more palatable “The Sound of Music” (or opera) would be to men everywhere if they’d slip that song in.
This might seem to be a rhetorical question but… At what point in the last four decades did we decide that it was a better thing to live gripped by guilt-ridden angst over everything from two-hundred year old slavery to what’s really inside your tuna can to political correctness and “You’re unique, just like everyone else”? (the other one… we’re all winners!)
Even if we all just embraced our asshole-ness just a little bit and stopped wanking around, don’t you think we could make the world a better place for our children? Ok, yeah, that was over the top.

The main thing about being an asshole - I mean BEING an asshole, not just playing at it - is that you spare yourself the stress of trying to be what you are not.
Does Wolfman sleep peacefully during the full moon? Does Dracula go to the beach for a tan? Do Democrats think with their brain? Of course not! These critters have their niche, just as assholes do.
Our niche simply happens to be wherever we damned-well want it to be, and is usually in the best seat of the house.
And - yes - Assholeness does definitely make the world a better place for the children — the ones that survive the cull, that is. No doubt about it.

Ah yes, the existential difference between DOING asshole and BEING asshole. The idea of the cull is interesting.
Oh yes, sonny, I remember way back in the Great Cull of 2018… the Assholes had warmed the Earth up by a whole degree Celsius from their big fancy cars, and after the floods all there was to eat was whales and seals, but we didn’t have that even, because the Assholes killed them all. So we ate Liberals instead. They was open season and there were lots of ‘em. Not bad if you marinade them long enough. Taste like chicken.

Oh yes, and there is a “U” in masturbation.
There’s a joke in there somewhere but I ain’t touching it. Oh geez several jokes.
April 10, 2008 at 7:43 pm
I think the E is part of the joke - but I don’t get it either.
April 10, 2008 at 8:56 pm
Okay then.
I just got a call from the MINNESOTA republican party looking for a donation to defeat that ex-SNL doofus? WTF?
April 10, 2008 at 9:17 pm
What ex-SNL doofus?

Six Word Memoir Meme — Tag, You’re It…
Got tagged by NiceDeb, Barry in CO, and Steamboat McGoo. So this is going to be a back-atcha and I’ll double up on Pajamma Momma [who now thinks she's the goddess of HTML], Rosetta the culotte wearer, and PattyAnn, The Hostages’ resident …
April 10, 2008 at 9:46 pm
Oof. Guess I better go find my neuron. I had it right here…
Maybe I’ll make it something really vulgar this time. Tomorrows Friday, after all.

Al Franken is running for senate and wants to knock the republican out.
April 10, 2008 at 10:23 pm
[...] Thanks Barry and McGoo! [...]
April 10, 2008 at 10:46 pm
PnB, I’d pick Barney Fife over Al Franken in a nanosecond. Franken’s voice is fingernails on the chalkboard of my soul. He’s about as appealing as a brussels sprouts milkshake.
Lord help me, Enas tagged me.
