Hey, big guy, think you can get an mpg of his lecture so that we could put it on the web site? An image would be great, too. We could photoshop tears onto the baby 15 year-old. Wonder if he has ever heard than when in Rome, do as the Romans do or get out of Dodge. [Isn't that a lovely mixed methphor?] GM
Yes, that's the thing that annoys me, as well. EDIT: Unfortunately, searching completed auctions on ebay now only goes back to 18-Aug so I can't find the auction wherein tickets in the Barra were sold.
I know what you mean. I was going to say just like work everywhere you go there will always be one asshole who thinks he is better than everybody else. It makes me angry though that even after you warned him he had the balls to lecture you and pointed the finger at you when he had three pointing back at him. Sometimes it isn't worth the energy. Ignorance is hereditary. Stop the pollution of the gene pool! I was going to say it is like that scene (all be it for more comic reasons and not literal) in 48 hrs. when Eddie Murphy walks into the country bar and asks, "Where all da white women at?" Or like a dumb redneck kkk member going into a black panther party and yelling "f*ck you, white power" while giving everybody the bird.
just give him and his kid a nice kick to the balls and then take those steeled toe'd boots shine those babies up real nice and stick it up there a*****.
HAHAHAHAHAHA Dude, that is CLASSIC!!!! I'm not going to lie, I wouldn't put it past me to be one of the "drunken, tattooed, unwashed, vulger" heathens that made his precious baby boy cry! HAHAHA Actually, now I wish I WAS!!! Dude, they got what they deserved. They were properly warned. Now we need to tar and feather the Barra that disturbed our santuary!!!
If only he had gone to the Red Bulls-LA games instead... He could have sat right in the middle of the ESC all game long without fear. My beef is that I can "kinda" understand a clueless kid wearing a 23 LA jersey, but WTF was he thinking wearing Donovan's number around the Barra, that's like rubbing chum all over yourself before swimming with sharks.
***UPDATE*** My crazy neighbor actually came over tonight to apologise for his tirade. Said he thought about what I told him, and admitted that he was out of line. I told him damn right he was out of line. Both for his tirade, and for his judgemental comments about the Barra. He seemed pretty sincere. But I'm still not sure he gets it. The good news is that he still has his ticket info. And he kept the contact info of the person that sold the tickets to him on Ebay. And I will be passing that info on to the Elders. So whoever sold those tickets. I hope the $200 bucks was worth it.
Every once in a while my faith in human race gets a positive input. Your neighbor's epiphany is like a cuppa coffee in the morning. Now, if you told me you'd Rochambeau'd him, that'd be like a shot of Jamison's in the morning! Inquiring minds want to know, which sorta leaves me out of the loop, doesn't it? GM
Sorry to say that it does my friend. My intention is NOT to paint a bullseye on the back of a fellow Barra member. So I will not make the persons identity public. But at some point in our lives we all need to be called out for bad behavior. The point is to correct the situation in a positive way. After all, we are family. I trust the Elders to do the right thing.
If I were to be thrown into the Anacostia like that, the cement would be like a blessing. Then I could just sink and die, I wouldn't have to deal with having to swim back to shore, covered in grease, raw sewage, and dead fish parts. To really "punish" the person, let them swim across the river to safety But do take their shoes first.
