ha! ya, like the ol' geico counselor---ya damned jackwagon!! :)

nah, i just have an exceedingly low tolerance for melodramatic self pity...once guided the president of Rubbermaid and one of his cronies after elk...it was halfway through the hunt and everyone in camp had been having a hell of a time with it, just very unconducive weather and no bulls killed

on day 3, one of my bud's hunters killed a nice big 6x7...ol' Mr Prez got all mopey and started whining "Man, i wish i could get one of those bad boys....sniff, sniff"...i snapped at him "You WILL!!", and he pouts "yeah, maybe in my lifetime...sniff, sniff"

well i done seen red, and really laid into the guy! i told him to go to hell, that the hunt was barely halfway over, and there was no room for him to act like a damned spoiled brat in my camp! we didn't speak to eachother the entire 45 minute drive to the area we were gonna hunt that evening, and i quit driving slow to accomodate his comfort...no sir, the rally was on and he was whiteknuckled and pale as a ghost, cuz i was givin it hell!

we killed two big bulls that evening, two hours apart, and that dudes was a MONSTER 7x7, and remained the biggest and finest bull taken out of 5 total for that camp

he was a changed man! and thanked me for not only puttin him and his buddy on them big bulls, but also for the scathing 'pep-talk'...said he'd always remember it when he felt negative and pathetic :)

i fvckin hate slackers!

dear fvcking christ....how the fvck would you know it was 'self aggrandizing' if ya didn't fvcking read it you fvcking dipsh!t?

you really DO need to kill yourself...no cliffs? hmmm...bridges? towers? tall buildings? hey, i got it... an overpass into oncoming traffic! these options are assuming that you actually have a fvcking set of balls

otherwise, i'd suggest a good bottle of pills and a 5th of spirits? that's a good way out for a fvcking pvssy like yourself...don't forget to play yerself a pitiful fvcking dirge on the 4 stringer on your way out to make it 'legit'

alrighty then, we'll be sure to toast your self absorbed disappearance, oh poor melancholic drama boi queen

well, i guess its bye bye now, eh jackwagon?

ya , see ya laters! :)

I read it HR. Thought it was pretty funny. Reminded me of the movie City Slickers in a way. Ol Curly takes them New Yorkers out on a cattle drive. Classic. Hard to believe the Rubber Maid business leader had such low self esteem. Elk huh? Yellowstone?

Didn't need to read it since I've been pegging "better than though" crapwads like yourself for years. Whoever said I was serious? It's funny that folk like you jump at every opportunity to self-aggrandize. Nice job. You fell hook, line and sinker.

NO jellystone big R! new mexico, public land...and yes, ol rubbermaider is quite a guy! ;)

a decent amount of whining had built up to that point, which is why i lost my patience with him...to his credit, he claimed to have seen metallica in 84

and i did test him with some modern death...which he at least pretended to like :)
