    I know you went through college like it was a cakewalk, and let's not forget your informal post-secondary education from Prof. Henry Rollins.

    Unacceptable.

    And totally misdirected.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm all for name-calling, but it's only fun if it's targeted appropriately.

    True. I don't mind name-calling, either, when it is warranted. It's more effective, though, when you call the person something that they don't already identify with. :p

    It's also a matter of comparison. While I'm generally the dumbest person logged in to this site at any given moment, I'm a fucking genius whenever I step foot into the DMV. No Velcro shoes for this rocket doctor.

    I almost never call names, rant, or raise my voice.

    I've been married 15 years and probably yelled at my wife less than 15 times.


    That makes the occasions that I really do get angry much more effective. ;)

    Hahaha... my girlfriend gained admission to a dance club last night by lifting her dress up and getting a big stamp on her thong'd ass.

    That's the stuff.

    Was it in the shape of Hawaii?

    Probably in the shape of a ridiculous Mexican bar logo. Like a donkey with a sombrero.

    Wouldn't that just be so wacky?

    Ack, it's 9:30 and I have to run out to the Kinko's to print this shit. My black toner cartridge is officially dead. No amount of shaking or tilting will elicit even a passably readable page.
    Sorrow. I should be sleeping by now.

    I totally get anger. I get angry and I raise my voice when people or ideas that I care about are hurt or treated unfairly. I think what is important is what you express when you're angry. Anger should be focused and succinct, not lobbed about like emotional medicine balls.

    I guess I confused anger and yelling in my post.


    I get angry far more often. But I rarely raise my voice, usually the look in my eye and the tone of my voice convey enough.

    When I do yell though, I mean for it to count.

    I have cultivated some looks and tones of my own, as well. :)
