Round Pegs In Square Holes



I love the contrarian. The oil in the ointment, the fly in your soup, the ink on your sweater, the nuts in yer poop.

The one who makes you so upset with their view that you shout out in righteous indignation at the apostasy. The nerve! Outrageous! Ban them! Banish them! Beat them! Bang Them!

Arrive on their doorstep in your hordes like so many frightened villagers with their pitchforks and torches!

These ones. The inconvenient guests. They make us feel uncomfortable with what seemed a rock solid conviction in the comfort of yesterday.

Yes, I welcome bloggers such as these.

BlogLand should never be vanilla or boring or bland.

Go ahead. Be different. (If ya can take the beating... ).

    As long as you can put up with the mob mentality, perhaps. Most seem to be worried more about greasing the wheels or getting their tiny penile egos stroked...these dick-smacks need a good bowel movement, and some four corner counseling. Just sayin'.
True that. I'll start with my own sphincter...

Thanks, and

Of course we are. Humans are social creatures, which was a major ingredient in the recipe for our success on this planet.

Interesting take on kinkiness, WW. And welcome to The Venting Blog!

I'm not sure ol Soc would agree with that, s2. (at least in the context of his times). I think they were all xenophobes back in the day, and homosexuality was not quite the stigma that it is today.

Thanks for your input here, my friend!

    It's a JOKE...but it's not.
I enjoy the sarcasm dripping from so many of your posts, Life2. And I see your points.

We can't help being Dumb All Over. Unless we become more aware.

The good thing is that all this is only blogging. About as meaningful as a puff of smoke on a windy day. In the end I have little concern for what folks assume.

Until this Virtual Symposium showed up (thanks, humorlife), blog wars were the highest form of BlogLand entertainment for me. The shifting emotions as folks react to the latest rumors reveal much about human social behavior.

Plus, it's great fodder for my satire.

Mmmm, yeah, Keith, I mostly agree with you. But I worked with a number of dickheads who saw themselves as contrarians, when really they were just dickheads. I explained it to Dickhead Number One one day, in "Little Big Man" terms.

The Sioux had members of the tribe who did everything backwards- they rode their horse backwards, they walked backwards, they swam backwards. The Sioux called them contraries. We have people who are always trying to fuck things up and stir the pot too, just for the attention it gets them, but we ain't Sioux and they aren't contraries. We call 'em dickheads.

My time with him was meant to be purely motivational, and instructional. I was trying to make him a better person, and what thanks did I get for my pains? "Fuck you, old man!" That's what he said to me, the ungrateful prick.
And he hasn't called me once to check up on me and see how I'm doing since i retired, either.

Thanks, but voter fraud is NOT the type of NEW scandal for you, my friend. No. For your next trick, I wish you to convince BlogLanders that the reason you disappeared this time was due to the fact that you were abducted by aliens on your way to visit a fake blogger who contacted you first from outer space. Yeah.

So, best to just vote for yerself (which I'm sure you did already, hahahahahahaha). Doncha have any busty bling from before?

Thanks for your kind words. I follow keith's code when I blog. It has served me well here. It's still a work in progress though. keith's foot, and keith's mouth are still too well acquainted.

I suppose you took care of the gay thing with your closing sentence. (you usually do). If folks wanna think we're gay, it will only bother you, I fear. Ha!

I've been waiting for you, kzoo. Not you specifically, but the one who was going to point out the cons of the contrarian. (actually contrarian refers to investing. One who goes against the prevailing wisdom of the pack. I used it over non-conformist, maverick, and other words because it worked better in my opening sentence. Ha!).

Even so, I shouldn't have been surprised after all, right? I've seen what you write around here, and you're quite the dissident. Anyway, yes. Dickheads are just that, dickheads. Adding negatives while sucking the air outta the room.

So. Tell me. How ya been since your career ended? Eh?

Why, thank you for asking, Keith! I'm . it was the best career move I ever made! I liked my job but the corporation was making me sick. The social contract is getting lopsided- even the Dickhead agreed with me about that.

Ditto, my friend. Ditto.

Hey, Todd is a pretty good guy. I just met him for the first time this morning. His story about the AnEnigma business was a real eye-opener. BlogLand rocks yes, but it can be damaging as well. If it had happened to me, I'm not sure I would have blogged again after the treatment he got here. By all of us. (well, I didn't diss him at the time - Jan. 9-10/2006 - but most did).

You should go and see the posts that were written then. Just enter AnEnigma517 in search. Must be 150 or so post titles connected to that scandal. Not one in support of him. (the actual posts are mostly gone, but the titles remain). BlogLand has seldom seen such a scandal as that one.

Todd is certainly a resilient blogger.

Of course this place has a different vibe these days. Still, I can see a witch hunt on the horizon. It will happen again at some point...
