Topic: A Commie USA propagandist actually dares to utter such words!

[Libertas]

You lied to me. You lied to AP, CNBC, Reuters and various trade pubs. This was not a joke. It was deception. In case you hadn’t noticed, we have a misinformation problem in this country. Now you’re part of it. Why should anyone trust you again?

"Lighten up Francis"

I have little patience for "practical jokers". We moved a lot when I was young and it was always traumatic starting over in a new neighborhood and new school.

probably the worst was moving (back) to Washington after living in the south for eight years. It was during the middle of the fall term and awkward as hell. I've always been an earnest kid - what you see is what you get. So having a guy buddy up to me just so he could prank me didn't go over well. I broke his nose, right there in the classroom, right in front of the teacher.

In high school I again encountered a guy who thought that pranking was cool. I broke his nose too.

Come to think of it, the kid whose nose got bent in the sixth grade became a friend (well more of a friend of a friend) through school and until we were 22. He ratted me out to a bartender that I was carrying concealed and got me 86'd from our favorite dive.

I round-house kicked him......broke his nose.

One of my father's favorite routines was to "poke fun" intended to wound and if I let on that I was hurt or mad, he'd say, "whatsamatter, can't you take a joke?!"  Yeah, no Dad, telling me, at 13, that tucking my hair behind my ears makes me "look like a Model T Ford coming down the street with the doors open" isn't funny, particularly when my ears don't really stick out.

I wish I could have broken his nose.

Heh. Good stuff.

I think people knew not to pull pranks with me...I set the tone early...

My big brother was razzing me at a playground in front of all his stupid friends...I walked around casually...he was sitting on a bar on one of those metal merry-go-rounds...I pushed his face and he bloodied the back of his head pretty good...

My father asked what I was thinking?  I was thinking I'm not taking that.

In 5th grade a guy was being a tool with me while waiting to get into the cafeteria for their low-grade dog food...I grabbed him by the face and beat his head into the brick wall...

Principle asked me what was I thinking?  I was thinking this will stop that crap.

Also fond of grabbing guys by the throat...or manhandling them like a pretzel and smiling while they hit the ground cause they're clumsy...

 

A side effect though is extreme case of not liking to give up...

I fought one friend of my brother all summer one year...

Every night I went in the house with a bloody nose or fat lip...but I'd go right back the next evening for a re-match...

My folks thought there was something wrong with their middle kid...though my father seemed less inclined to think so.

I wonder what that dumbass would have to say about this?

Nevermind, imbecile probably all for it.

I never liked pranks either...don't like physical comedy probably because of that....my family would make fun of you and then accuse you of not having a sense of humor...


I was the only girl and my mom was determined I wouldn't get special treatment so I learned to swing a fist and give as good as I got....

I don't mind physical comedy...grew up with Laurel & Hardy, Marx Brothers, Three Stooges etc...but I do not like being made a target against my will...that latter part is always key with me...MY will.

Sounds like you had a good mother!   

In a similar vein I like to think I toughened up my little sister for life...seems to have come true.
