I‘ve been a lot more interested in making podcasts than I have been in writing anything lately. I feel guilty about that on one level, but on the other I’m not a trained monkey who updates this blog for anyone’s entertainment other than my own. I am here to jerk off my ego, and that is all. If I don’t feel like killing kittens, then no kittens will be killed.
The easy thing to do would be to post an inflammatory, incomplete thought that would draw 55 comments, but the only interesting thing about that would be to take bets on when and how the comments thread would derail. Just about the only way to get a discussion going is to make people want to say, “goddamn it! you left this out!” or “goddamn it! you’re wrong and you didn’t even explain your point very well!” Write something lengthy thorough, and people tend to doze off and/or tune out.
I visited a friend in Tennessee this weekend, and he said he does the same thing at his IT job: he knows how to repair a certain printer, but will bring it around another guy who knows more about printers than he does, and intentionally go about repairing it the wrong way so the other guy will want to correct him. The other guy takes over, and he gets out of repairing the printer.
I’m sure there’s a name for that technique, but I don’t know what it is. I utilize it frequently.
The first clay German Garden Gnome (”der Gartenzwerg”) was made in Graeferoda, Thuringia, Germany in the 1800’s. The first recorded appearance of a Garden Gnome in England was around 1840 at the estate of Sir Charles Isham, the 10th Baronet of Lamport Hall. The first two individuals to produce Gnomes in quantity were Philipp Griebel and August Heissner around 1872, with Heissner Gnomes being the most well known throughout the world. Gnomes were, and still are, considered to be more then decorations. It is good luck to place a Gnome in the home and garden. With the advent of war all of the German Gnome manufacturers dissappeared, their workshops and factories taken over and used for other purposes by the military. During the 60’s, a few companies sprang up producing plastic Gnomes that were much easier and cost effective to make and mass produce. To date, there is only one company, ‘Kimmel Gnomes’, that exclusively manufactures high quality, handmade clay Garden Gnomes. With new designs and careful reproductions of rare antique Gnomes, Kimmel Gnomes is leading the way and keeping a charming, much loved tradition alive in gardens around the world.
Yeah, that’s a good technique. I think family members might have used this one on me. I’m sure we could come up with a catchy name…
Maybe Ego-Delegation?
Or FILT - Feigned Ignorance Labor Transfer
Ooh, FILTing. I love it.
FILTing is a technique utilized by teenagers to get out of various chores. Mow the lawn crooked? Don’t have to mow the lawn anymore. Can’t wash the dishes without leaving food caked on? Don’t have to wash dishes anymore.
Ok…I may be a little slow, so help me out with this…..are we supposed to write your next blog for you?
I “accidentally” put it in her butt once because I didn’t feel like doing all the work. Bitch learned to take the initiative after that.
I don’t know what you’re talking about. Everyone knows ass-fucking is a lot more work for both parties than default fucking.
LOL, Amber that’s the funniest thing I’ve read all week. God, I need to get out more.
Yeah, but am I right?
That’s exactly my point. The goal of the exercise was to convince her that there are worse things in this world than control every now and then. Don’t put me behind the wheel 24-7 if you don’t want to go off-roading.
Oh god I have to start using ‘default fucking’ in my day to day conversations now.
Well, I really can’t relate, but maybe that’s just because I like ass-fucking so much. (Almost as much as default fucking.)
Any one watch Brotherhood on Showtime?
TV quote of the week.
“Let’s go to your place this time”
“No”
“I’ll let you fuck me in the ass”
*yawn*
Oh, crass cutting-edge TeeVee programmes, when will you tire of rehashing boring old stereotypes in new! exciting! titillating! ways?
Repeat after me:
Women hate anal sex! Men love anal sex! Women only “let” men fuck them in the ass when they want to get something from them!
This has been today’s lesson from “Things I Learned in the 10th Grade.”
Hey! Any discussion of ass fucking on TV is a move in the right direction in my book. But I’m just a man and I probably want something. hee
Hmmmm. That has quote-of-the-day potential.
