I may look like a hippie, but I WILL cut your heart out if you mess with me!

[graywarrior]

Seriously, republicans in NH are the stupidest fucks on earth. DO NOT PICK A FIGHT WITH ME IN SHAW'S SUPERMARKET ABOUT MCFUCK AND THE IRAQ WAR!!!!!!

PS We don't wear cowboys hats in NH you stupid fake cowboy. Go to Texas where you won't fit in either! And and and... your waist is size 60, not 28 which is where your hips are and where you like to wear your jeans and belt, you fashionistic moron!!!!!

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!

2. what happened?

[meegbear]

3. Go to Market Basket, they're cheaper than Shaws

[zanne]

4. He sounds like a real charmer.

The only place I've ever seen a cowboy hat in NH is in the Great North Woods. Wearing a cowboy hat anywhere else around here just screams "RightWing Gasbag". Don't try to talk sense into them; they're not made for that.

[Stinky The Clown]

5. I hope you got RIGHT INTO his face

They have got to be made to know that we will NOT tolerate their shit any longer. This happens one by one.

Good for you!

[Squatch]

6. So, whose heart did you cut out, tough guy?

:shrug:

[Vickers]

8. Verb tenses gotcha down?

9. Better?

10. Nope.

11. I stopped short of whipping out my filet knife

Just an idiot I know from around town who needs new teeth.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

65. Graywarrior is

a she.

Do not piss her off.

:D

[graywarrior]

69. Obviously I am already out of control and hate fat people.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

76. I'm fat

and I never felt like you hate me.

But then... I wasn't wearing a cowboy hat.

:)

[graywarrior]

81. My stomach is fat and I don't hate me

And guess what? I own a cowboy hat. I wore it last week.

[Possumpoint]

7. I Wear Cowboy Hats

and live in Northern Virginia. I've never lived in Texas nor ridden a horse.

I oppose everything GWB and his republican cronies stand for. Now you want to pick a fight with me for what I choose to wear? Go fug yourself. I think baseball caps are the stupidest look anyone could wear outside of the sport.

[graywarrior]

14. Jesus H Christ! ! ! ! ! ! !

It's got NOTHING to do with the hat! WTF?! It's about the idiot wearing it. He ain't a cowboy. He works retail! ! ! ! ! ! ! $8 an hour!!!!!!!!!!

[Obamanaut]

27. So, it isn't the hat. Is it the $8 retail job? nt

[fascisthunter]

53. no... it's about the pretentiousness of pretending to be a cowboy

it's a bit goofy

[carlyhippy]

74. It's pretty easy to tell who is a pretend cowboy (or a rhinestone cowboy, or an urban cowboy)

nice, new jeans with no holes in them, unscuffed boots, cowboy hat that isn't marred and dirty
I grew up in cowboy country, I know this stuff.....
the only exception is of course a cowboy who just came out of Bebo's or TSC with new clothes haha.
I see pretend cowboys around rodeo season.....all week they are wearing business suits and preppy clothes, at the rodeo you see them in the stands with the all new cool looking cowboy attire, trying to look western..it's not fittin to stare at them, but I do

Carly

[MuseRider]

16. Sad thing is

most real cowboys wear baseball caps now instead of cowboy hats. Most CB hats are so expensive they save them for shows. You will see the occasional CB hat when it is worn out and beat down.

[Warpy]

29. I live in cowboy country

and the people around here who wear 'em are Mexicans who wear the straw ones and fat cat real estate barons who wear them out on the town and when they're flying out on vacation.

You don't see them on the street, not even in feed stores out in the boonies.

Mexicans wear the straw ones while they're outdoors, doing all the grunt work.

[MuseRider]

38. It is odd

isn't it? They really should not be considered cowboy hats anymore.

We still have real cowboys here too, I have ridden with them out on the herds. It totally blew my mind the first time I saw the "modern" cowboy posting a trot with a ball cap talking to his wife on a cell phone all the while prepping his horse for his turn in the cutting pen. I retired my cowgirl hat mostly in favor of a ball cap. Much cheaper alternative and that is probably the reason the real cowboys have as well. The fat cats always ruin everything.

I do like the straw hats. Good choice for hard labor in the sun.

[hootinholler]

18. Piss off!

*EVERYONE* know that liberty caps are where it's at! Sheesh!



-Hoot

[graywarrior]

20. Actually, the guy is a fucking pinhead

[LWolf]

19. While I've never lived in texas,

I've grown up with horses, and I don't wear cowboy hats, either.

I wear baseball caps; I can stuff my hair through the opening at the back and keep it off my neck. A cowboy hat is more likely to go flying off my head every time a breeze blows, unless I attach a choker to it.

I really should have a good cowboy hat for longer days on the horse, though. They DO keep sun and rain off better than a baseball cap.

What is your reason for wearing a cowboy hat? Is it a fashion statement? If so, what statement is made by wearing a cowboy hat, which is part of western ranch culture and dress?

[alfredo]

62. the John Deere cap is considered formal wear here.

A cowboy hat is too hot, and gets knocked off when working with horses. They like to chew on stuff like hats. A ball cap is more practical when cutting tobacco. A large brimmed hat will get blown off or knocked off by the tobacco stalks. A cowboy hat acts like a sail. It's a fucking drag having to stop the tractor, get off and chase the stetson that has become a play thing for the dog that was following the tractor. They like going after the mice stirred up by the cultivator, but a hat tumbling across a field is just too enticing.

[LWolf]

63. All true.

Around here, I don't see many ranchers wearing them. The guys doing the local rodeo circuit wear them. It wouldn't be a rodeo event if the cowboy didn't have to chase down his hat when he was done.

I sunburn easily; my best hat for sun is a wider-brimmed straw gardening hat with strings to tighten under the chin. I can't be bothered with climbing up and down repeatedly to chase down the hat. The older I get, the shorter I wish my horse was. ;)

Which is why I usually wear a baseball cap.

[alfredo]

64. I have a straw hat and a postal sun hat. It looks like a mesh pith helmet.

It's very nice, very comfortable.

[LWolf]

72. That hat looks cool and comfortable.

Where did you get it?

I'm heading off for a horse camping trip Friday, and have been debating which hat to take.

[alfredo]

75. I used to be a mail carrier

[zanne]

30. It's all a matter of opinion, but I hate cowboy hats.

Like baseball hats, they make men look like little boys playing "pretend".

[pepperbear]

32. right, because cowboy hats are never an affectation....

sorry, you missed the point of the OP and now you look like a complete assclown.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

68. I think you

yes... YOU missed the point.

She doesn't give a shit what the idiot was wearing (That was just evidence of his boneheadedness) If you want to wear a space helmet and pretend to be an astronaut - go ahead, just don't argue about Iraq and McKook with her because after she cuts out your liver she will then make fun of your proclivity to dress like a spaceman.

See?

[Inspired]

12. I want you on my side!

[Serial Mom]

13. OMG! Love your posts, but this is one Grrrrrrrrrr - 8!

:rofl:

Excatly how DH rants around our city (not ranch, but city) when we see cowboy hats and boots!

[mainegreen]

15. You went to Shaws?

Shaws?

:rofl:

I hate that store. Dimly lit, full of sallow looking people puttering around, pawing the bland white bread, cross checking every item with that damned Shaw's Circular so they can save 1 cent per pound on skinless, boneless chicken breasts when purchased using their Shaw's card!

[graywarrior]

17. Their Ezekial bread is less expensive than Hannie's.

Besides I could make a quick right turn into their lot and Hannie's I'd have to take a left, a left and another left. Fuck that.

[mainegreen]

21. Do they have a farmers' market in Conway?

That's the way to shop if you can!

[graywarrior]

22. No, I have to either drive up to Jackson or over to Fryeburg, Me.

There are a few veggie stands around town, but they're pricey.

[hootinholler]

24. Um, 3 lefts make a right.

Just sayin...

:hide:

-Hoot

[graywarrior]

25. Yes, they do.

[Gormy Cuss]

34. The late, great Shaw's chain, ruined by Masshole owners.

Shaw's was THE place to get edible fresh produce in Ptld back when it was a locally owned chain. Hannaford's Shop 'n' Save was more like IGA. Then Shaw's was purchased by Brockton Public Market, a chain with such a shitty reputation that they immediately rebranded all of their stores Shaw's. It's gone down hill ever since.

Hannaford started coming up in the world when cranky Mainiacs drifted over from the new, inferior Shaw's and noticed that all of a sudden Hannie's had the better fresh food.

[Marrah_G]

40. The one I go to is really nice

Perhaps it is the location. Crappy stores with shit food would go out of business there because of the competition.

[Gormy Cuss]

42. Location does matter, but the original Shaw's was VERY good at fresh food.

Vegetables, meats, fish were always fresher and presented better than most other supermarkets.The old chain was one of the early adopters of the move back to unpackaged produce and fish on ice rather than everything packaged ahead of time on trays with cellophane wrap.

First it was the BPM, later the Star markets that were rebranded as Shaws. Shaws is really a very different chain now.

[mainegreen]

45. Really? Wow.

I think Shaw's days in Portland are numbered. Hannaford's is a great supermarket, and has actually responded well to the new giant Whole Foods we have. Plus with the farmer's markets and the sudden explosion of small local grocery/bakeries/butchers all over Portland, I just can't see Shaw's having much to offer most Portlanders. Only the older generations still go there. No one I know my age (and I mean not one single person) goes to Shaws.

[graywarrior]

49. Hannaford's owns Sweetbay in the south

Now there's a store that should be great but sucks. Their prices are rediculous.

[Marrah_G]

39. The Shaws near my house is nothing like that.

I go to Shaw's, S & S and a little one called Seabra and sale shop at all of them each week.

[BlooInBloo]

23. Whoa. Hardcore.

[graywarrior]

26. I'm all talk.

All my heart ripping is done in my head.

[underseasurveyor]

28. Yea but if push comes to shove?

(speaking for myself here)... Stand the fuck by:evilgrin:

And I'm one of the most overly patient people I know, but even I have a limit. And I know exactly where that limit is.
I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not:shrug:

:thumbsup: graywarrior:toast:

[graywarrior]

43. I can get in someone's face, for sure.

But I mouth off about ripping hearts out when I really just want to scream and scream and scream.

[underseasurveyor]

51. And it's said that fantasy is better than reality

But there are times I have to wonder.

But then I'd be no better than "them" and possibly worse because I DO know better...

But then again:evilgrin:............ it does pose a nice mental image sometimes

So many Butts out there:rofl:

[graywarrior]

54. I like to think about it.

You can visualize it over and over and over. Taking action only occurs once.

[shadowknows69]

31. Good to see obesity is still the allowed prejudice on DU

We still as a society just can't resist slamming the fat guy huh?

[pepperbear]

33. being a little overweight myself, I can sympathize, but I think it's the wearing the pants

around the hip that's in question here. that look's never in style.

[shadowknows69]

36. Some people can't afford or find clothes that fit them right

Do you have any idea how frustrating it is to know you look like shit but have no choice but do the mundane things of life anyway?

[That Guy 888]

48. It's different where I live in San Antonio

The pants around the hips is usually worn by people who CAN afford health club memberships, good fresh foods, and clothes that fit properly. In this part of Texas it's all about denial.

"I don't need to lose weight, change my diet or get exercise! Just look, I'm still wearing the same size jeans/pants that I wore in high school. "

[graywarrior]

50. .

:shrug:

[shadowknows69]

56. Did you misunderstand me?

We can't wage war on the rethugs without resorting to slamming someone's body type? I know you're more intelligent and compassionate than that GW.

[graywarrior]

61. Obviously I have an anger problem and I'm insensitive towards fat people

Sorry if I offended you. Perhaps what I wrote was offensive, but it really has noting to do with my being intelligent or compassionate. Isn't this about what I did rather that who I am?

[cherokeeprogressive]

79. Who are you? Someone who hates fat people?

If it's about what you did, you didn't do anything.

If it's about who you hate, you hate fat people.

No apology necessary. It wouldn't be sincere anyway.

[graywarrior]

82. If I hated fat people, I'd hate me...which I don't

[aikoaiko]

35. I find that most hippies are a small prodding away from violence.

good luck with that.

[graywarrior]

44. Especially the ones who live out in the woods with no utilities.

Trust me, they'll shoot you if you step onto their land.

[NightWatcher]

37. I agree completely with your sentiment. An Obama sticker and a kayak rack does not mean I wont whip

your ass, or if pressed for time pull out one of my many guns and make you dance (a la Yosemite Sam)

Due to my work and the friends I have made, I often carry a concealed weapon under my "one planet, one people" 100% hemp tshirt.

Fuck with this hippie, I dare you.

[Marrah_G]

41. Tell us how your eally feel !

[wvbygod]

46. Killing is the easy part...living with it is not easy

No words are worthy of ending someones life. Defending yours or loved ones life is noble
but still hard to live with at times.

[graywarrior]

47. I went and chilled out, took some pictures and decided I am not here to

fight with republicans. I am here for...


and I need to remember that.

[Buns_of_Fire]

85. Even Opus needed a dandelion break once in a while.

Yes, I know those are daisies, but in times like this, any flower will do. ;-)

[TexasObserver]

52. If you look for angry disagreements, you will find them.

If you're getting into arguments with strangers at the grocery store and while driving your car, it's time to ask yourself if the problem is YOU.

People who leave the house every day looking for conflict usually find it.

You might want to think about taking an anger management class. This isn't about politics, it's about you and your explosive demeanor, as evidenced by your title to this thread.

[graywarrior]

55. You have NO idea what it is like to live here in a small town where

letters to the editor call people out and people are called nazi's at selectmen meetings. Plus, you don't know me at all, so hold your judgement before you start preaching. You are not my therapist. You know NOTHING about running into over the top nutcases who stalk you just because you disagree with them. And obviously, you know nothing about my sense of humor and neither did you read the entire thread.

[TexasObserver]

59. I know what you post here, and that's all I'm basing my comments upon.

You are an angry person, and you express that anger here almost daily.

You find conflict because you want to find conflict.

Anyone who says they want to cut someone's fucking heart out needs to think about what they're saying. You seem to relish your anger, and you love to talk about it. That's what I can see from your postings at DU. I'm suggesting that if you really want to do something about these fights you get into, you'll have to work on your conduct and accept that you're creating these fights you have with others.

As for your therapist, if you have one, I'm sure she'd agree with my assessment of your need to express anger and have conflicts. It's possible to have strong political beliefs without constantly getting into fights with strangers over it.

[graywarrior]

60. I find the Ignore function to be a snappy little device

You may want to try it.

Manage Ignore List

Block Private Messages: Selecting this option will prevent a member from sending private messages to you. If the member tries to send you a private message, it will appear to them that your inbox is closed to all private messages. They will see the following error: "That member does not wish to receive private messages."

Ignore Threads: Selecting this option will prevent you from seeing any threads started by a member. You will still be able to see the member's replies to other threads. The member will not know that you are ignoring their threads.

Ignore Replies: Selecting this option will prevent you from seeing all replies made by a member anywhere on the message board. It does not hide their threads, but if you wish to ignore all of a member's posts, you can use this option in combination with the "Ignore Threads" option. The member will not know that you are ignoring their posts.

57. That's why my hero is Billy Jack.

I preach peace, love, and understanding...and if you screw with me, I'll kick your balls out your throat!

[MorningGlow]

58. OMG I can SOOOO get a mental picture of that guy!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

They're swarming around my small town too, although they don't wear cowboy hats 'round these parts--they wear plastic mesh baseball-type caps. And yes indeedy, their guts hang over their belt buckles and they are ALWAYS running on about how Dubya's "kept us safe from them terra-ist towelheads" etc.
:puke:

You have my deepest sympathy, GW. Go git 'em!

[Radical Activist]

66. They wouldn't like him in Texas either.

Rhinestone cowboy would be the term.

[Catherine Vincent]

67. Pic please. nt

[HughMoran]

70. Mike Barnicle (not exactly a liberal) says people in NH are the lowest form of life

He thinks people here are a bunch of ignorant rednecks with no redeeming qualities whatsoever. I couldn't agree with him more.

[graywarrior]

71. An art dealer I know from here told me that the poor and stupid visit NH

while the wealthy and educated go to VT and ME.

You have to be a little more hardcore to live in these types of mountains.

[Lorien]

78. You find the same kind of people in NH that you found here in FL

It's all due to the lack of a State income tax, or so I've been told. :shrug:

[graywarrior]

80. We're desperate for state income tax

We're deprived.

[Major Hogwash]

My wife . . gray, grizzled, and severely pissed off.
I think I'll keep her.
