I am so fucking sick of being nice.

[RevCheesehead]

So my New Year's Resolution is to become more like Rabrrrrrr. He don't take shit from anyone. He's smart. He has exquisite taste. And, he's funny as hell.

The only thing I won't take is his name. Mine has too many "rrrr's," anyways.

Don't you fucking try to talk me out of it, either!

[ForrestGump]

1. I think you have the genesis (no pun intended) of a great sermon here

Maybe delivered Pacino- or DeNiro-style. :D


"Hey, God...you talkin' to me? You talkin' to me?!"

[RevCheesehead]

2. I also borrowed heavily from your movie, too.

Cap'n Dan: "YOU CALL THIS A STORM???"

[ForrestGump]

3. And you simply MUST insert

"it happens....sometimes." :hug:

[RevCheesehead]

5. Now, now - none of that.

Don't go tryin' to be nice. I've already made up my mind.
I'm going to be an asshole! :bounce:

[merh]

8. LOL -- You folks call what you see a STORM?

:rofl:

You ain't seen nothing! ;-)

Be grumpy - it works for me.

I can only aspire to have the grace & dignity dear Rabrrrrr has.


No hugs, that is to damned nice. How about a thumbs up :thumbsup:

[RevCheesehead]

9. I am the bastard child of Rabrrrrrr and Mrs. Grumpy.

My name is Rev. Grumpierrrrrr.

[RetroLounge]

25. Rev. Grumpierrrrrr

:rofl:

RL

[merh]

31. I'm right there with you Rev. Grumpierrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

LISTEN HERE DAMNIT

[RevCheesehead]

35. I never before noticed that Grumpy sat on the organ bellows.

Egad, talk about a fowl wind!! :rofl:

And what is that Neil Diamond karaoke shit doing in a thread like this??
You got a lot of 'splainin to do, Lucy. :grr:

[merh]

40. It wasn't done well

It belongs in the thread, damnit!

It beats this one! LISTEN NOW DAMNIT

[RevCheesehead]

46. Now you're just mocking me, aren't you?

I fucking HATE clowns!

[merh]

61. You know, you are really beginning to piss me off!

I'm doing the best I can and nothing makes you happy, but then again, if it adds to your grumpiness, then my job is being done correctly.

So I suppose that I should be happy that I have made you grumpier, but I am only grumpy, so this is working! x( :argh:

HOW ABOUT THIS ONE



:grr:

[RevCheesehead]

62. You do realize, don't you..

that I'm grooming you for first officer status.
:think:
I've changed my mind. I will step aside and let you take charge.

[merh]

71. Now what the hell - why the fuck would I want to be in charge?

You ain't making me the top dog. I'm the music minister after all!

LISTEN TO YAKTYSAX :silly:

And don't you forget, damn it!

[RevCheesehead]

72. OK, OK, you got me!

:rofl:

[merh]

76. you gotta love me!

The source of my inspiration -- my MUSIC LIBRARY

:hug: :loveya:

[Oeditpus Rex]

86. How'd Lucy get into this?

She's just an innocent little pussy. :shrug:

[RevCheesehead]

90. Maybe you can ask Binky.

Oh, wait - I can do that, now that I'm home!! :bounce:

[matcom]

4. he takes all KINDS of shit from ME!

just warning ya

[RevCheesehead]

6. But what you don't know

is that Rabrrrrrr's building a shit castle with YOUR NAME on it.

[Rabrrrrrr]

20. No, no, no - I'm saving it all up for a massive SHITSTORM rebuttal!

matcom won't know what hit him. He won't be able to tell if he was hit with all new shit, or if it's just the load he normally carries in his pants finally exploding explosively outward from his pants.

[RevCheesehead]

26. You mean an "implosion of explosives?"

Brilliant!!!!
What shall we do next, O Master?

[RetroLounge]

7. Sorry, you are too nice.

and those of us who have benefitted from you know better...

:hug:

RL

[RevCheesehead]

11. Oh yeah??

:spank::spank: Fuck you, asshole dispenser of other people's poetry. I shall focus all the wrath usually directed on English teachers onto you. :spank::spank:

[swimboy]

15. I know what you're talking about.

And you can eat my fuck.

Nice people of the world unite and let's burn some motherfuckers!

:hide:

[RevCheesehead]

37. What the fuck are you hiding for?

Step up, man! Gird up your loins (that's biblical, so I can say it)!

[swimboy]

41. I've left the hiding place and got me some POPCORN!

These loins are fucking girded! Go, REV!

[RevCheesehead]

50. Good - we'll need snacks to fuel our outrage.

Excellent thinking, swimboy.

[Rabrrrrrr]

66. Your first lesson: Outrage is not fueled by popcorn.

Outrage is fueled by gin or whisky.

[RevCheesehead]

68. Thank you, my Lord.

May I substitute Brandy for whiskey? I am in Wisconsin.

[Rabrrrrrr]

69. No.

brandy is not an outrage liquor, it is a mellowing liquor.

If you want to rant like Barry Manilow's hair, you can drink brandy.

[RevCheesehead]

70. Then I'll have to stop at the grocery store on the way home.

All they have here is brandy and vermouth. It is manhattan country in this house.

[RetroLounge]

73. These loins are fucking girded

Damn, I need a cold shower now...

RL

[swimboy]

83. Damn you! You're going to make me all nice again!

Plus all these people thinking of you in the shower is going to require additional cold showers. We may have a recession in the national water pressure. :loveya:

[RetroLounge]

84. or we could find a cold river or lake

and swim nekkid...

:spank:

RL

[swimboy]

85. Excellent! One of my favorite things to do!

But I got in trouble for it last Memorial Day! (:blush: and equal parts :grr:) Damn game wardens!

[RevCheesehead]

97. Wanna come over and jump in the Lake?

We have clean beaches up here.... AND a nice place to warm up, after. :evilgrin:

[RetroLounge]

104. Sounds like a good plan...

Check your pm.

RL

[RetroLounge]

19. Really?

Oh, yeah, well, same to you...

:shrug: Guess I'm too nice for the 'F' bomb. Maybe Peggy can help me...

RL

[RevCheesehead]

34. NICE??? Did you say Nice??

Then fuck you again - in Oostberg!

[RetroLounge]

74. Oostberg!?!

Oostberg? "Slowly I turned ... step by step ... inch by inch ..."

RL

[Heidi]

10. I like who you are. Don't become like someone else, please.

Please. :hug:

[RevCheesehead]

13. Don't you think 44 years is long enough?

New year, new persona. Time to Carpe Diem, or at least bitch until I get what I want. This is my year, dammit, and I will get what I want.

[Heidi]

16. Would changing make you a better human being?

My other concern is that, as much as I adore Rabrrrrrr, one's enough. :)

[tigereye]

51. ah

yes, give in to your inner "b-----", my child. ;) All women should probably have such a dialogue from time to time.

being nice doesn't mean you should be a doormat. Trust me, I know.

[hfojvt]

109. now you know this is supposed to be my year

"The summer of George!!!"

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=4521969&mesg_id=4522070

I am getting what I want by being nice, or it is my reward, finally, for being doormat to the world for so long.

Either that or the other shoe is gonna come down on me like a foot on a bug.

:hide:

[hfojvt]

12. our long national nightmare of excess niceness is finally over

:wtf: :nuke: :grr: :rant: :argh: :nuke: :nuke:



How about a nice big cup of

FUT THE SHUCK UP!!!!!











:hide:

[RevCheesehead]

23. Goddammit, it's about fucking time!!

Kindred Spirits, UNTIE! Or UNITE, if you prefer.
It's time for a fucking revolution!
Just think of the implications if we took this nationally.
We can set up Camp Rabrrrrrr in front of the Capitol.
We can sneer at the self-importance of the politicians, knowing that we are infinitely better than they are.
We can have wine and cheese... and linen napkins, too (just because we can).

Stop hiding behind your chimney/wall, and join the Rabrrrrrr Revolution!!

[hfojvt]

30. I am just confused

because I thought Rush and Newt had been doing this for decades.

:hide:

[RevCheesehead]

43. Nonsense.

Theirs is an ill wind, full of nothing but hot air.
Ours is a righteous outrage, borne out by the truth.

I thought I told you to step away from the chimney.

[hfojvt]

57. Isn't that what they think theirs is?

A righteous outrage, borne out by truth?

:hide:


Yes, you told me to step away from the chimney, but since I no longer have to be a nice guy, I don't have to listen to you.










Also, you didn't say "please"

:P

:hide:

[RevCheesehead]

60. You learn well, young padawan.

Don't wander off - I might need your assistance.

[LynneSin]

14. Well FUCK YOU

:loveya:

[ForrestGump]

17. She never says it to ME like that

:-(

[LynneSin]

32. FUCK YOU TOO

but only if you sing to me first!

[ForrestGump]

33. I'm singing already! So...what position?

:D

[LynneSin]

38. Hard?

:shrug:

[ForrestGump]

39. That's right, I'm singing as hard as I can

:P

"Stairway To Gilligan"

[LynneSin]

45. ewww....soft

:cry:

[ForrestGump]

47. "Immigrant Song"?

[LynneSin]

49. Ok, you have my interest again - how about this Immigrant Song?

http://users.wolfcrews.com/toys/vikings/

[RevCheesehead]

52. Now you've done it. I'm stripping you of your rank and priveleges.

FUCK THE VIKINGS - AND RESCUE THE DAMNED PUTTY-TATS!

[ForrestGump]

58. I KNEW they were our overlords!

:D

Pussies with attitude...

[RevCheesehead]

48. That's the spirit!

You can deal with the new recruits. They're kinda innocent, so be tough on them, OK?

:thumbsup:

[swimboy]

18. Come on, Nice People! Rev's given us a safe place to let it all out!

Rant until you can't!

:popcorn:

[Ladyhawk]

21. Uh oh. I don't know if I can handle such a transformation.

:hide:

[kick-ass-bob]

22. What? No RrrrrrevCheesehead?

[Strong Atheist]

24. Someone once told me (in private), to

"Just be yourself, OK?" Sounds like good advice.

[RevCheesehead]

28. Well, fuck that.

That person's a fucking asshole. Don't believe a word she says.

[Strong Atheist]

79. Hmmmm .... nt.

[Strong Atheist]

81. Sigh. On second thought (after reading some

more of your posts on this thread), I guess I would advise that you do what you must.

You may as well start here and now.

Stop being so nice to newbies, and atheist newbies at that.

Come on, dish it out....:(

[RevCheesehead]

91. I think I was demonically posessed.

I'm back home, and had a nice nap. YES, I SAID NICE!!
:banghead: Sometimes I just hate myself.

[Strong Atheist]

111. Don't hate yourself. We all get

moody sometimes ...:hug:

[Tsiyu]

27. Repeat after me: "I AM the fucking QUEEN!!!!!!!!

I am the QUEEN, do you hear me?

Get outta my way...peons...."


x(


Yeah, so I edited because of smilie abuse. So the hell what? What are you lookin at?

[RevCheesehead]

63. I am the FUCKING Queen!

I changed the case to reflect my own priorities, thank you.

[Rabrrrrrr]

29. Nice: from Latin nescius, ignorant, from nescre, to be ignorant

Don't be nice. Nice is stupid.

We are not called to be nice (which implies fakeness, dishonesty, and foolishness), we are called to be kind, compassionate, honest, and truthful: and truthful means integrity to all truth, including facts as well as being true to who we are are individuals and as a community.

Especially you, dagnabit - you're the minister! Nice ministers are icky. Truthful and kind ones are godly.



And thanks for all the compliments - very kind of you! (and true, heh heh heh)

[hfojvt]

36. welcome to the grand illusion

I knew someone in college who was this nicey girl and it was clearly phony and forced. However, when my senior year started and she shouted my name across the quad and waved and said "welcome back". I thought to myself "tanj, that felt good"

"It's just a fantasy
It's not the real thing
It's just a fantasy
It's not the real thing
But sometimes a fantasy
Is all you need"

Sometimes a fantasy is all you are gonna get whether it is all you need or not.

[ForrestGump]

44. Welcome to the Hotel California

Oops...wrong thread...

[cssmall]

42. *gasp* Rev!

It's okay. :hug:

I know that feeling to the exact letter.

[miss_american_pie]

53. Does the world really need another Rabrrrrrr?

:shrug:

[Rabrrrrrr]

55. Especially considering the Great New Year's Eve Cleansing:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=105&topic_id=4517608

[miss_american_pie]

59. Yikes

:hide:

[RevCheesehead]

64. I'm not afraid of you.

You are my mentor. I am here to learn, and to serve.

[Rabrrrrrr]

65. And will you kill me when I turn my back?

If not, then you cannot be my apprentice.

[RevCheesehead]

67. I'd rather stab you face-to-face.

I want you to know who done you in.
Back-stabbing is for fucking idiots and cowards.

[Wapsie B]

54. Sounds like something I would say

or have said before.

[tigereye]

56. for some reason these images came to mind

this is what I consider, when I contemplate that truth and justice and the search for them are really what being "nice" is often about. Just a thought. She is holding a sword, after all. :)

[Call Me Wesley]

75. I called your bishop. (nt)

[Dangerously Amused]

77. I killed your Bishop.

Carry on, Rrrrrrev!


:thumbsup:

[Call Me Wesley]

78. You can't kill a bishop.

They naturally die sometimes, or become cardinals. :rofl:

[merh]

80. Can't her rook take the bishop?

Hell, I've seen a pawn take the bishop and of course there is always the knight or the queen. Yes, she can kill the bishop.

[Call Me Wesley]

82. OK, I'll give in.

"He's dead, Spock."

[Dave Reynolds]

87. I give asshole lessons, too.

I'm actually quite good at being one.

[gkhouston]

88. well, if you're sick of being nice

then why aren't you over in GD? ;-)

[RevCheesehead]

92. Point taken.

I was going to resolve to go to GD at least once a day.
But I think I need to refine my assholery first. There are plenty of people here who can help me with that. :)

[CBHagman]

89. Are you a sign from God, Reverend?

I went back to work today and realized that all the drama queens, Reagan worshippers, hissy fit throwers, clingers, kvetches, pessimists, anal-retentive types, self-help book addicts, professional victims, Js from Hell on the Myers-Briggs scale, red light runners, and anyone else who has run afoul of my Irish-Hungarian temper (thanks, Mom and Dad).

Does this mean we all have special dispensation to refuse to suffer fools gladly??? Is it "Katy, bar the door" when it comes to dysfunctional bosses, noisy neighbors, devil-children, and pernicious "love" interests?

[RevCheesehead]

93. Abso-fucking-lutely.

Time to say "We won't take it anymore!!!"
Time to tell the fools to shut the fuck up!
Time to let them know that our opinions are better, smarter, faster... and worth at least $6 million.

Go, CB, go!! :bounce:

[CBHagman]

117. Well, just getting started here.

Yesterday the legendary bastards (of "Don't let the bastards get you down" fame) were out in force. I haven't yet stuck my head out the window in a "Network" moment, but the year is young. :evilgrin:

[RevCheesehead]

119. At least we have an ally...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

94. You go for it, my dear Rev!

Would you like me to give you lessons? I'm good at not being nice! And also at dropping the "F-Bomb"!

Whatever you like.....I'm your girl! :evilgrin:

I mean, I OWE you!

[RevCheesehead]

98. My God - -

you really have gone over to the dark side! :scared:

Yup, a new attitude. No more sitting quietly, being polite. It might take some work, but trust me, the inner asshole is ready to emerge.
:bounce:

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

95. The new you will get along well with the rest of the lounge

:D

[RevCheesehead]

99. So, do you think I'm sincere?

Or am I simply caving in to peer pressure?? :shrug:

Regardless, fuck the rest of them. I gotta be ME!! :7

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

100. If you are sincere, you won't blend

[RevCheesehead]

102. It must be the anointing oil.

Oh well, I can stash that at work. :D

[hickman1937]

96. Don't know about Rabrrrrr, but if your finally pissed,

and ready to get slimy, show me the way. It's past time for us to get down in the dirt. No more nice guy.

[RevCheesehead]

101. In church-lingo, we call it "Righteous Indignation."

And I am feeling righteous! :woohoo:

No more letting the zealots talk for Jesus!
No more proof-texting of scripture!
Falwell? Dead! Robertson? Dead!
Niedermeyer?......

[hickman1937]

106. You better be very clear here.

Are you really talking about following Jesus? Lead the way. But if things get tough and you need to fall back on the old testament or Revelations, I'll saddle up and be gone again. After this last election in Rome I am finally over with my church.

[RevCheesehead]

107. Jesus is compatable with the OT

That was his Bible, after all.

Revelation was a mistake. Well, it was a vision/dream, but it was a mistake to add it to the canon (they almost didn't). I ONLY use chapters 1, (the first part of ch. 19), 21, and 22. The rest can be safely thrown out.

For you and all disillusioned RCer's: Keep the faith. You've been through scandal and corruption before, and have survived. You will again. I'm just sorry that this is coinciding with this administration. It must be pretty hard to be hopeful.

[hickman1937]

108. Been lapsed for years.

mostly living a bad life in my early years and feeling unworthy to come back. They are no longer the Catholic Church, and I'm not going back. I want no part of the new Baptist/Catholic church. They are not worthy.

[CBHagman]

118. Oh, truer words were never said.

You should hear how some of my friends talk, both those who are RC and those married to RC. Add "Democrat" or "progressive" to the mix, and the depression's clinical.

I may have to kidnap all of them and make them watch Julie Andrews and Danny Kaye movies until they all lose their pessimism. :-)

That's not TOO nice, is it?

[RevCheesehead]

120. No, that's called "ministry."

And that's an act of love.

Love is acceptable. "Nice" is not. :P

[NMMNG]

103. I won't try to talk you out of it, but I do have one thing to say

Now come over here and show me how mean you can be. :evilgrin:

[RevCheesehead]

105. Why, Ms. Slayer, I'm flattered.

If ever I switch teams, you'd be the first one I'd call. ;)

[Heidi]

110. After tonight, I understand why you're sick of being nice.

:grr: _Some people_ . . . :grr:

I love ya, RevCheesehead. :thumbsup:

[RevCheesehead]

121. "Gonna pick up my sword and shield, Down by the Riverside..."

Ain't gonna play being nice anymore... down by the riverside.

[In_The_Wind]

112. Me too!

But it's an old habit I have trouble breaking unless I'm provoked.

What's up Rev?

[Rhiannon12866]

114. I find that I'm more likely to get what I want, if I'm nice.

But, you're right. Old habits are hard to break.:shrug:

[In_The_Wind]

115. Hey Rhiannon12866! I've missed you!

www.jacquielawson.com/viewcardm.asp?token=fd7e1043a35fbdf6727c2b074b7f1e36152197&hist=XE35850794

Old habits are hard but not impossible to break.

How have you been?

[Rhiannon12866]

116. Thank you, my friend! That was priceless!!!:D

I've been around, though I haven't been home much since before Christmas. I've been staying with a friend who's recovering from surgery, but have an an appointment this afternoon and my class, tonight, so I should get going. *sigh* It's always great to see you!:hi:

Rhiannon:hug:

[RevCheesehead]

122. "Nice" just doesn't cut it anymore.

"Nice" is a dismissive way of saying "sit down and shut up."
"Nice" people not only don't finish first, they often don't finish at all.
"Nice" people get ignored, unless somebody wants something.

Fuck that. I'm having a Rabrrrrrr New Year.

:toast: Wanna join me?

[In_The_Wind]

127. I'm beginning to think that's a rrrrrrather good idea!

You'rrrrrre right!

I've been farrrrrr too nice!

Watch Out World!

It's time forrrrrr the nice Joani to be rrrrrrevamped! :toast:












but I'm gonna need help with the transformation process
any suggestions which DUers I should ask for private lessons

[southlandshari]

113. You know what?

Me too.

:banghead:

[RevCheesehead]

123. Happy New Yearrrrrr, Sharrrrrri.

:toast: May they fucking die.

:hug::loveya:

[Montauk6]

124. Do you really want something in common with O'Lielly and Coltface?

Just sayin...

[CarpeDiebold]

125. *moving this to the top

cuz it needs to be there :D

[RevCheesehead]

126. Do they want to be like Rabrrrrrr, too?

Can't say that I blame them - but aren't they just a tad bourgeois?
