I retired at the ripe old age of 30, but I don't expect you would know
anything at all about how the other half lives.

Is that what you call it when you were institutionalized?
I live in a world of sanity Eddie, not your half.
The staff must be proud of your cheerfull "glass half full" mentality
and that's why they let you online?

Why is it considered virtuous to work like a slave all of your life when
you really don't have to. Just don't get married, don't procreate, don't
buy a house and a new car, etc. It is really quite simple, but most men
are fools and live lives of quiet desperation.


Gee Eddie, who's said virtuous?
It's not called virtuous, it's called rewarding.

I got married, had three sons, bought a house, have new cars, new bikes,
big ass TV,
big ass computer, and other stuff you don't care about, oh yeah, and stuff
for the kids as well.
Started my own business, run my own show, wife started her own business,
runs her own show, make our own lives, ran races, studied martial arts,
teach tai chi,
write, ride bikes. Oh and by the way, we started with zero, no family
money or connections,
no outside help, no special talents except the brains with which we were
born.
It's nice to feel plugged into the world, productive, active and
successful.
Saves me having to call myself "the great" and hide my lack of self esteem
by trolling
in newsgroups and calling people names like a preadolescent.

JP is the upwardly mobile idiot who thinks himself successful because he did
not starve to death like the savages in Africa regularly do. I have nothing
but contempt for him and all his so-called accomplishments. His piffling
"production" would not be "rewarding" to me in the slightest. He is the
quintessential materialist. I feel sorry for the poor slob.

People are generally surrounded by those like themselves and if you find
yourself surrounded
by " characters who are idiots, jerks and assholes" chances are you
qualify for inclusion in that
very same group. Of course since you have imposed yourself on this group
rather than the other
way around those in alt.bike.whatever don't meet that description.

Anyone who is on Usenet is an idiot, a jerk and an asshole. No exceptions!
Thus spake Zarathustra!

She and I lived in Minneapolis for a few years and the people there tend
to be very nice;
generous, polite and kind. I guess they've been too nice to straighten
you out or is it that
you only share the obnoxious part of your psyche from the secure anonymity
of usenet?
I'm glad though that you've chosen not to marry or procreate, it would
bother me a bit to
know that you'd inflicted yourself on human beings. This is really a
better spot for you
since you are always just a mouseclick away from oblivion.

Minnesotans are the biggest jerks in the world bar none! Most of the time I
am ashamed to be from such a fouled up state. The one thing I would like
most to do in his world is to get my hands around the throat of Garrison
Keillor and choke that stupid son of a bitch to death. To hell with him and
his prairie home companion. And most especially to hell with any who think
like him.

"You desperately need to stop responding to Vandeman. You are both one

These guys can do anything they damn well please, as you can too.

It is you, who needs to desperately stop defending Vandy, he is capible
of doing this by him self.

I am not so much defending Vandeman as I am attacking Curtiss for being such
an all-around jackass. You are right on the edge of falling into that
category yourself. Please put your brain into gear before you post.

Got fired and personality prevented you from finding another job?

Jobs are for workers (slaves) like you, not for Gods like me!

PS. Post to ARBR if you want me to see your freaking messages, you moron!

I'll make you a deal, I'll post all the messages to ARBR that I want you
to see, if you'll stop posting to RBM & AMB the messages I don't want to
see. DEAL or NO DEAL?

When you reference me, then post to ARBR. How God Damn likely is it that you
think I will ever reference a nonentity like you? Also, note the subject

Eddie Dolan, who has turned a minor psychiatric disability into a monthly
stipend, probably for life,
or maybe a spurious claim of whiplash into a feast for a social parasite.
Eddie Dolan, whose mommy still does his laundry.
Eddie Dolan, whose winning personality explains his overwhelming
popularity.
Eddie Dolan, who desperately needs recognition, of ANY kind, even stranger's
responses on usenet.
Eddie Dolan whose lonely little chubby face reflected the flickers of light
off the monitor,
alone in his sad little room, posting his schoolboy wit while the rest of
the world had fun on a Friday night.
Eddie Dolan, who hates GK but plagiarizes his "order of perpetual sorrow."
Are you allowed to have a pet? Maybe that would help.
Anyhow you're boring.
Bye.

--Apparently, not... Well, Tommy, do have fun on Planet..., wait...
what is the name of the delusional world of cyber reality that you
live in? Planet Happy? Planet Suck Up? Planet Ass Kiss? Planet Grin
perhaps?

There's no such thing as cyber reality. Everybody knows that.
Hell, li'l Billy or Bobbie or Abner or Poindexter or whatever
the 'R' stands for, that's an oxymoron. You should be intimately
acquainted with that word/phrase.

And just FYI, I'm from and living on Planet Earth, where I'm
currently groovin' to tunes by PF (some Syd Barrett stuff on
Umma Gumma, The Screaming Blue Messiahs, Yes [including a
spirited rendition of 'And You And I', off a pirated tape
of one of their live tour visits], Led Zep III, some arcane
Jethro Tull (Under Wraps, etc) and some weird Brian Eno stuff.
So I guess I'm actually slightly hovering over Planet Earth
a couple of feet.

But tomorrow I'll have my feet firmly planted on Planet Earth,
while you'll still be ... you. Good luck with that.

I'll also be hoping to get some work in from the employment
agency for which I work, and maybe make enough money to live
on better than bannock, oatmeal and rice, and maybe make
August rent. Y'see, I know all about reality.
It sucks sometimes.

Anyways, the situation is hopeless but not serious.


cheers, & good rides,
Tom

No, I don't want to post to ARBR, so I'll post where I want to. I agree
with the Header, "legend in his own mind", but not in anyone else's mind.

You can post to Timbuktu for all I care, but if you want an answer, then you
will have to post to ARBR. I only occasionally look in on RBM when I feel
like slumming with the hoi-polloi and other assorted slobs like you.

You are a self-admitted asshole and jackass. Why would you need to attack
anyone for those same traits?

I don't not care which 'category' you put me in, I do not care about you
and your silly opinion

I could not respond to the jerk above because the newsgroup headers were all
messed up. I think he might have been using some kind of cell phone. There
were definitely some incompatibilities involved that I could not resolve.
