Well, it seems I've acquired a new fan.

[Redstone]

Been called a "republican stooge" twice in three days on DU by someone I don't believe I've ever crossed swords with before.

Kinda weak, I think. If someone wants to stalk and insult me, I'd greatly prefer that they at least exhibit some originality in their insults.

At least show me some originality and some creative thinking, OK?

1. I hope you alerted on it?

If you haven't, you should.

[Redstone]

4. Yeah, I guess I should. I tried to draw the punk out into a man-a-man fight, but he chickened out.

I'll let the mods deal with it, and thank you for the suggestion.

2. Hi Redstone -- I don't know you from Adam, but...

I send you my condolences. Unfamiliar as I am with these kinds of forums, I was in trouble with someone here before I even really got started... it's a bad feeling.

So, let's forge ahead, shall we? I'm open to discuss any subject.

Audio Al

[Redstone]

3. Feh. You gotta just ignore this kind of stuff, or go ahead and let the fools be

the fools that they are, laugh at them, and remind them now and again what fools they be.

Because otherwise, you end up allowing them to provoke you and make you angry, and anger is not a life-extending emotion...and therefore should be reserved for righteous targets, and not for pissants who just want to irritate you.

Remember that on your journies through this land called DU. It'll save you a ton of grief.

Redstone

[Audio_Al]

5. Yep. Learning the ropes here... thanks, buddy...

You can call me Al

[The Straight Story]

7. Hi Al - welcome to DU

Hope you have fun here!

[Audio_Al]

40. Thanks. Mostly I'm just hitting the alert button so far...

That's MY Straight Story since Sept. 25 (the day I started reading this website).

[Redstone]

8. One thing you'll learn: I'll tell you the truth even when nobody else will...

even if it's not what you want to hear.

Good to have you here. See you around the forums (or should that be fora?).

Redstone

[Audio_Al]

15. I guess you can call them either forums -- or fora.

Latin wasn't a required subject at Northeastern University School of Engineering.

6. Hey old friend, you might be a stooge, but it ain't republican

[Redstone]

10. You've been posting well here lately. Excellent stuff. And thanks

for thinking of me.

Redstone

[Chovexani]

9. I bet you eat at the Olive Garden, too!

:hide:

[Redstone]

11. Hey, I would if I could, but I can't. There aren't any nearby. (No need to hide.)

Redstone

[Chovexani]

16. Fascist!

:P

[Redstone]

18. You bet. And recidivist as well.

Redstone

[Chovexani]

20. ...

:spank:

[Redstone]

28. Not to mention "running-dog hegemonist." I've done it all.

Redstone

[lost-in-nj]

12. I'm your fan

for so many different reasons.......

the biggest? your love and dedication to Mrs.R

you are one of a kind


:hi: :hi:

lost

[Redstone]

23. Be well thoughout the journey upon which you are embarking, OK?

Just be well.

Redstone

[bluedigger]

13. Republican stooge, huh?

Kind of redundant, isn't it? :P

[Redstone]

17. Hey, you're right; if I'm gonna be one, I gotta be the other, yes?

Redstone

[bbernardini]

14. Which one of the Stooges was the Republican?

Moe, Larry or Curly? Maybe Shemp?

[Richard Steele]

29. Moe. He elected himself leader, then proceded to screw up everything he touched...

...and consistently blamed his endless string of failures
on everyone but himself.

Sounds pretty Republican to me!

[JohnnyLib2]

19. Heh. Democrats calling each other Republicans.

As insults go, that's pretty damned silly. It only happened to me once and made me laugh and send emails to the right wing of the family. Onward!

[Redstone]

25. Onward, not to mention upward. Yes, it made me laugh, too. Both times.

Redstone

[SPKrazy]

21. I'm sure you are just such a republican type

that the new fan just can't resist :P

I keed

takes all kinds eh Redstone?

:hi:

[Redstone]

26. Yeah, you know me, and therefore know what a republican I am, yes? Thanks.

Redstone

[Cabcere]

22. Sorry to hear that, Redstone.

When I first saw the title, I thought you might be talking about one of these:



...but apparently you're referring to what more often hits it. :shrug: :hug: Peace & love, friend.

[Redstone]

27. Someone's flingin' something at the wall to see what sticks; you're right. I guess it just

happens now and again to those of us with strong opinions.

But as we used to say in Philly, "scroom."

(The local pronunciation of "screw 'em.")

Redstone

[graywarrior]

24. Whomever it is can't be very bright. I, for one, would not fuck with you....ever

BTW, there is only one republican stooge that I know of.

[Redstone]

30. Yeah, you would, and you know it. You'd argue me under the table until I begged

for mercy; let neither of us underestimate you here.

But that's not going to happen in our precious North Country, is it? Unfortunately, we won't be able to make that move anytime soon.
And with the paper mill closing down in Groveton, the economic situation up there isn't looking to get better in the near, nor the long run.

Redstone

[graywarrior]

31. We'd end up in a bar brawl--bloody and scarred but still friends.

I'm working hard on getting back to New England. Have a possible 6 month rental in Gloucester beginning Dec 1. Not real solid yet, and there are a few other possibilities, but it's a slow process. Hey, I want to go where the water is cleaner.

[Redstone]

35. Gloucester isn't bad, and it's just up the road from one of my customers, so I'd

be able to drop by when I go on a business trip up there.

Keep me posted on any progress, please.

Redstone

[Canuckistanian]

32. Ok, you're a triangulating DLC bipartisan fence-sitter

And only a semi-freeper.

How's that?

[Redstone]

34. Much better. Not weak at all, and creative. I like it.

Redstone

[CaliforniaPeggy]

33. My dear Redstone...

I suspect that whoever was tangling with you didn't really know what s/he was getting into!

More power to you, my good friend...

I'm just really glad to be on your side!

:hug:

[Redstone]

36. Pegster! Listen to this: Nine, count 'em, NINE days I've been feeling well, disregarding

that little item of the chronic pain, but I haven't been sick. In the office and working every day, oh yes.

Nine days. And it looks like I'll be having that fucking nerve that's been ruining my life killed, shortly after the 15th of November.

Wish me luck. the doctor says it'll last for a year. A whole, complete, YEAR with no pain.

I'm ready.

Redstone

[CaliforniaPeggy]

37. I am so thrilled to hear this!

Oh, I can just bet you're ready!

I am ready for you as well...

Life is sweet, at least once in a while, isn't it?

:hug:

Lots and lots of luck for you!

[Redstone]

38. Life is good even when it's bad, given the only alternative.

Redstone

[RevCheesehead]

39. Jesus thinks they're full of shit.
