    Sometimes labels fit!

    some guy called me a not cute unfunny bitch yesterday. taken aback by that, i examined myself (in the mirror. i think i’m okay. hehe), my actions, and my personality. i did all this from one random douche with hurt feelings saying this to me! how can this idiot see absolutely no connection with being labeled a “kook” for her entire career (and probably life. come on, this level of crazy has to be passed down in the breast milk!) with her actually being a “kook”?! i can not grasp the level of brazen stupidity in these people!

    Unless kook = “Delusional Christofascist ideologue lacking in understanding of Tyrany, Free Elections, and Constitutionally mandated government,” I’m not at all certain that kook is a good label. Most kooks are not revolting, just amusing. Admittedly, it’s a start.

    silly, if you have ever been surfing and seen a guy drop in on someone already on the wave, you would know that “kook” is said two seconds before that person gets something broken! but i agree outside of the surfing community kook is not a bad insult! cescans call each other much worse and we all like each other! (most like each other!) hehe…

    gypsy -That jerk just doesn’t know you like we do. You are a very cute, extremely funny bitch and we love you for it.Seriously though, if they insult you it’s because you got through to them in a way they are not happy about. Hopefully, after the insult, they may actually ponder their position.OK, stop laughing. I have to keep hoping that the best in people *might* win out as unlikely as that is.

    gyps -I’m going with the assumption that the only surfing Bachmann does is between CSPAN and Fixed News.

    >>>You are a very cute, extremely funny bitch and we love you for it.silly, that is in the top five sweetest things anyone has ever said to me! hehe…and i’m pretty sure that douche got slapped 5 minutes later for grabbing another girls boobie!

    Also want to comment on the elastic nature of the term “kook”.Van Gogh was a kook. Cutting off your own ear is pretty solid evidence of that. Still, all the neighbors agreed that there wasn’t something quite right about Vincent. He was obvious “yeah he’s a kook” kook.Thelonius Monk was a kook. Being able to not play the implied note goes a long way as evidence of that. Everyone knew he was half nuts, but he could count. He was of the “We all know he’s a kook, but holy smokin’ fuck who cares” kook.Jeffrey Dahmer was a kook. Killing and eating people is pretty solid evidence of that. Still, all the neighbors said he was a quiet guy who mostly kept to himself.A rather more severe kook, but in the “we had no idea he was a kook” kook column.In Michelle Bachmann’s case…well, the evidence is overwhelming. Yet, she keeps getting elected and folks seem to be paying attention. The more she indulges her ear slashing cannibalism, the more cameras show up at her press conferences (not a little reinforcing).She exists in an interesting sub-category of kook. The elite “yeah, I’m a kook but there’s a lot of kooks who grok my kook” kook. Think of her like MDMA but with hate and fear instead of peace and love.Guess I’m just trying to save the adjective from the noun.Kook. Kooky.I’d hate to see them get all tangled up with Michelle Bachmann. It would diminish kook…and, IMO, elevate Bachmann.

    avi, tell me how much you love me!

    If we lived in a civilized country Michele Bachmann would receive the mental health care she so desperately needs. I have become quite convinced that she is suffering from some sort of mental illness. It makes it difficult to ridicule her because I don’t consider her responsible for her behavior. She needs treatment.Van Gogh suffered from temporal epilepsy. He did not see the universe the way normal people do. He painted things the way he saw them. Think about that for a moment.Mental health care is an ignored and very huge problem in this country. We should be ashamed of how it is handled (or not handled actually).

    @ SillyRatfacedGit (forever after SRG cuz I’m tired of typing it)The vast majority of folks wandering about need treatment.Some seek it, some have it inflicted upon them, some wind up incarcerated and don’t get the treatment that would have prevented incarceration, and some get elected.Pfft. I had a point. I swear, I did. The rum stole it.

    @ gypsyYou know I love you.Email for further details.Despite the sincerity of that last line, I think we are the first to make BCGAB into a hook-up./dawns on me might not be the first attempt…this is, after all, Cesca’s joint. A little seedy, n’est pas?Might be the first rejection, tho. Cesca’s something of a tart.

    cousinavi – You made several excellent points on this thread and several other threads today. I look forward to your comments.Silly, SRG, SillyGit, or even just Git are fine by me. I even answer to shithead, but there might be confusion as to who you mean if you use that.
