Kids These Days

So I wrote to a 26-year-old fella in Washington DC; he had a good haircut, so WTF. The entirety of his profile reads, "Talk is cheap, so i talk a lot. But i'm all talk, so you better listen." Indeed. Let us listen carefully --

BigDumbDawg
Sweet pussypatch you got there.

JOCK22
Loser. pussypatch? FUCK YOU. No wonder you have "BigDumb" in your user name... And quit with the military drag already. A former Marine? Great. Youre now 45 years old and look ridiculous. (And if you hadnt disrespected me, I wouldnt have been
so honest.)

BigDumbDawg
I was complimenting you on your haircut, jackass. If you wish to take it as disrespect, that's your business. You, honest? Your understanding of honesty is the same as any common fag's. Foolish me for thinking you might have some character.

(Here, the site fails me; it dropped a message from him. Alas. Apparently, it contained a line about what sort of language I used in front of my mother. Cuz when you can't make a reasonable point, the best course is to insult a man's relations.)

BigDumbDawg
A lecture on manners from a man who says if I hadn't been "disrespectful", he wouldn't have been "honest". That's an astonishingly negative understanding of honesty. FYI, 'pussypatch' is an affectionate term for a good haircut. So, yeah, mom
heard it.

JOCK22
...honest in that I wouldn't have said you look ridiculous for someone who is 45 years old. I would have thought it, but held my tongue. Still, I didn't think pussypatch meant what you said it did. So thank you for complimenting my hair.

BigDumbDawg
And somehow thinking it but not saying makes you a better man? Now that takes gumption. Not balls; just audacity. You still have no character. Or integrity or honor. Which is fooken shameful. You'd rather feel insulted than ask what I meant. Fag.

JOCK22
Though perhaps if you didnt look like a vagrant I wouldnt have assumed it was an insult. I think your sleeve tattoos look trashy... so does the USMC.

BigDumbDawg
Had the sleeve before the regs were changed, so I'm good to go. Frankly, I'd rather look trashy than act trashy -- I can wear long sleeves, but your petty, narrow little mind will always be readily visible to the world.

JOCK22
As far as appearance is concerned, yes, I'm a traditionalist. You can say that makes me narrow, but I'm not ashamed of that. It makes life easier not having my grandmother embarrassed by my appearance.

Let's go back and look at his profile: "Talk is cheap, so i talk a lot. But i'm all talk, so you better listen." I guess that means he's cheap.

How Late It Was, How Late

Alta the malamute, my boon companion of little over 10-1/2 years, died 22 JUL 07. She was old and infirm; she died in my arms, at home. Her ashes came home day before yesterday, collected in a small cedar box with brass trim. They lie on my altar, on the upper hand, for she was of nobler kin.

Identity is a Crisis

Anonymous said...

HAHAHA! What a COMPLETE fake and phoney! Your attitude is laughable! Calling us all fags huh? My advice to you GI Joe: go back in the "fookin'" closet cuz yer makin' all of us REAL gay dudes look absolutely reprehensible!! If yer that uncomfortable with yer sexuality bud go get a sex change done then you can be what you REALLY want to be: a HETEROsexual. Have a nice day baby killer. Heh,heh,heh!

July 28, 2007 7:30 PM

Oookay. Always interesting to see who responds to the bait of 'post your comments'. Frankly, I think this particular Anonymous is just some jerk who found me by following whatever set of clicks fit his fancy. Thinks I should go back in the closet cuz I make "us REAL gay dudes look absolutely reprehensible!!" Well, if the point is to chronicle the REAL gay dudes and their reprehensible garbage, why should I go back into the closet? Apparently, holding gay men to critical standards -- heck, any standards at all -- elicits an admonition to have a sex change in order to facilitate what Anonymous supposed I really wish to be: a heterosexual woman. Cuz, uh, no REAL gay man would complain about the treatment he receives at the hands of the others in this alleged community? Hmmm.

Just some midsummer rambling.

Monsters Under My Bed

Here's a scary thought -- we are taught the world is one way when it is actually another. For ejemplo, everyone "knows" that married French men have mistresses in addition to wives, and nobody cares. However, there is the veneer of care, in that we claim to abhor adultery; that's how we're socialized, and that veneer passes for happiness (or, at least, contentment). Then we shriek about secret prisons abroad, where 'enemy combatants' are incarcerated; we act surprised when Cheney won't release any documentation. Paranoia becomes an act of community; we are made community by whom we fear. We give lip service to welcome, to tolerance, to the best ideas of humanity but secretly hoard (then revere) the worst because that's what truly holds us together.

More Wackiness Online

So this blissfully unaware and incompetent freakazoid responded to an online profile. You know the one -- the one that prompted another retardate to email the commandant's office of the United States Marine Corps to tell 'em a war criminal was on the loose in southern California. Anywho, here's the exchange:

Nice2b
2007-07-11 18:54:59 Nice and damn "hard" profile but i bet that is just the way you are or maybe not??? hard shell and VERY soft cell?? Maybe you can answer my very first question on my profile??? Have a good one, like your pix, nice, but U R just too much of a TOP. Steffl

(So -- does he want a response or doesn't he? He likes my pics, but I'm "just too much of a TOP" whatever that means. Does anyone know what language this is? Is his message "I was interested until I read the text"? Oh, let's respond anyway.)

BigDumbDawg
2007-07-11 19:06:38 Thanks for your judgmental attitude.

Nice2b
2007-07-12 16:00:54 sorry, but you looked so damn nice to me on your pics until i got to read your entire profile and your notes... I still believe that there has to be a SOFT touch to you! Your older (rowing) pics where good too. You see i do watch you already a long time

BigDumbDawg
2007-07-12 18:33:35 I don't row. Never have. Interesting how you decompensate ("you looked so damn nice to me on your pics until...."). Take your arrogance elsewhere; it's unappealing.

Nice2b
sorry, won't happen again, but i am 4 sure not arrogant, never been and hope never will be? You do look very nice (and sexy) in your profile pix. It's only that this 1 pic looked so brutal to me :-( Hope you take my apology. Good night 4 now, STEFFL.

He's not arrogant? Last time I checked, making assumptions and being utterly immune to another's input is de facto arrogance. (And truly, I have never rowed a day in my life. The sport doesn't appeal to me. But let's not trifle over things like facts.)

Curiously, this wasn't the first time I'd heard from the guy. The first time he wrote me, it was to say this:

nice2b
2007-06-18 15:38:01 your favorite pic = that shows how different prefferences are!! You have a great day hunky man. Regards from Bavaria, STEFFL

BigDumbDawg
I disagree. It shows how different focii are.

Hear that, world? PREFERENCES ARE DIFFERENT!! HAVE A GREAT DAY!!

Cynical me, making fun of dolts who truly have nothing to say, but are enamored of the sound of their own voice. Back in sixth grade, we had a name for this condition: Diarrhea of the Mouth.

Still reading? Want to know what the "very first question" on his profile is? He asks, "EXCUSE ME, BUT WHAT IS "ALL AMERICAN" am i 100% All Bavarian or did you US guys forget your descent??" I weep for language, but that is another post. (I also weep for people who are clearly unable to express their thoughts in written form. Then I am reminded of a statistic a psychiatrist friend once shared with me: 60 percent of any given population never achieves abstract thought.)

May Day M'Aidez

THE DATE: 28 APR 07

THE PROFILE:

Former MOS 0311, 5565, looking for friends, and one good and lasting battlebuddy, former/AD military prefered; USMC much prefered. I am a humorless, blood-thirsty, baby-killing automaton. Civilians interested in contact should familiarize themselves with the points below:

How to Handle a Jarhead

1) Realize that when he says he will lay down his life for you, he actually means it; respond accordingly.

2) Realize that for him, flirting is a contact sport, like unto rugby (and while he may not be the brightest guy around, you'll be surprised at how what he says will hit you).

3) Know he is vulgar, has a juvenile sense of humor, swears a lot, but is still the kind of guy you'd be proud to take home to yer mother (and he'll probably inform your father that his intentions toward you are indeed honorable). He also has impeccable table manners.

4) Know that when he cries, he fooken means it; he has the same understanding of you. (There is enough in this life that will make him cry, but don't expect him to admit to it if pressed.)

5) Know that the motto, "Courage, honor, commitment" is not a collection of buzzwords to him; they guide him in how he lives his life. If he fails, gently remind him; he expects it of you.

6) Know that he will never be rich, but he will always share whatever he has.

7) Know that when he apologizes, you must never, ever tell anyone (unless one absolutely *must* be so informed).

8) Never, ever, under any circumstances ask what he's done in battle. He'll bring it up when or if it's time.

9) Know that he will fook you through the wall, make you shoot when your cock is soft, and has the sweetest pussy you'll ever get into.

10) It has been said of jarheads, "The best friend you'll ever have, the worst enemy you'll ever make. " Whoever said it wasn't kidding.

Further details at http://proverbsforparanoiacs.blogspot.com.

Inane responses will be handled in an appropriate manner. If masculinity is a fashion accessory for you -- most of you who suffer from this affliction refuse to recognize yourselves -- stay away. There are plenty of dorks to pork you; I'm not one of them.

THE EXCHANGE:

bodybuildRUF 2007-04-28 18:51:24
nice sentiments bud, too bad you & other military die-hards are having their "duty honor country" bullshit patriotism totally abused by mass-murderer war-criminal abject liars the likes of empty-headed "junior" bush and "big-time" corporate-mafioso cheney

BigDumbDawg 2007-04-28 20:16:12
Thanks for the insult. Perhaps you'd like to try again, only this time, say, "I don't know why any self-respecting gay man would ever want to be in the military."

bodybuildRUF
I don't know why a self-respecting American male of ANY persuasion would put up with participating in a military that has become such a reprehensible tool of mass murder & brutality under crypto-fascist Bush & Cheney. They give a flying fuck about freedom

BigDumbDawg
Why the fook are you giving me such a hassle? Did I ask for your opinion? NO. So why don't you just fook off to your own little corner and shut the fook up?

bodybuildRUF
btw, the baby-killer remark is not only disgusting & reprehensible (and evidently, not an uncommon activity perpetrated by our valiant stud soldiers in Iraqi civilian neighborhoods), but would subject you to the same charge of murder as any other homicide

BigDumbDawg
FOOKEN LEAVE ME ALONE!!! NOW! I DID NOT ASK FOR YOUR OPINION, YOU FOOKEN WROTE ME WITH ALL YOUR INSULTING GARBAGE! NOW FOOK OFF!! YOU ARE ONE OF THE MOST MORALLY REPREHENSIBLE MEN I HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED! I AM NOT INTERESTED! LEAVE ME BE!

I have reported you to the webmasters of this site for your continuing harassment. Stop now, or I will pursue this matter in court.

bodybuildRUF
How dare you call me "morally reprehensible" when it is YOU who presents such disgusting immoral garbage in your BM profile that I merely happened to come across. Take your fucking phoney military bravado and shove it up your miserably ugly fat ass, pal

BigDumbDawg
Again, stop or I will pursue this matter in court. You are only building the case against you and BM.

bodybuildRUF
I'm sorry, but when I read you bragging that you are a "baby-killing automaton" (even if that is just your attempt at humorous bragadocio) I was sickened. Do you have any idea how many actual babies are incinerated every day by American bombing in Iraq.

BigDumbDawg
STOP WRITING TO ME!!!! NOW!!! NOW NOW NOW NOW NOWNOW NOW!!! I DO NOT WANT CONTACT WITH YOU!!! STOP WRITING ME!! YOU WROTE ME OF YOUR OWN ACCORD ONLY TO HURL INSULTS AT ME!!! STOP IT!!!NOW!!! THIS FOOKEN INSTANT!!! STOP IT! YOU WILL BE SUED FOR STALKING!

bodybuildRUF
Don't worry man, this is my last message. At first your reprehensible ravings made me angry (would you like me to link you to websites of actual photos of children murdered by America's military) but now I realize you are unhinged. Get professional help

BigDumbDawg
SHUT UP!!! JUST FOOKEN SHUT UP AND FOOKEN LEAVE ME ALONE, YOU FREAK!!!

THE COMMENTARY:

C'mon, it's a blog; there's always commentary. Aside from the entertainment value of a St. Petersburg-dwelling liberal fascist going for blood for no discernible reason, let's take a look at what he does.

I like the curiously sexualized language in reference to the despised military ("our valiant stud soldiers"), the utter abnegation of any responsibility for his responses ("it was your moral garbage... that I just happened to come across."), references to myself as homicidal (and I'd be "charged with murder same as any other homicide"), and, of course, the grand ad hominem a gay man can say of another: physical decrepitude ("miserably ugly fat ass"). After all, he was "sickened."

Fooken duh, this reactionary's rants have nothing to do with me. But somehow I gave him a focus. I'm military. I'm dead sexy. I'm muscular, I'm masculine, I'm forward, I'm unsentimental. and I do not toe the party line. As for bodybuildRUF, he was thrown off the site. Will I seek legal counsel? Yeah, cuz I'm fooken tired of getting shit like this when all I want is a mate. I'm fooken tired of fags who think they're entitled to spew any kind of venom when they come across someone they can't screw because he's ideologically impure. (How do I know that's the case? His rants ain't arch enough to be sarcasm.)

So what world is it when the ability to speak makes one's opinion valid? It is the world built of particularity. "As a woman....", "As a black man....", "As a lesbian....", "As an Asian-American...." -- none of these things grant a de facto insight regarding a subject. Such an understanding of these signifiers is nothing but a return to the superstition of Rousseau's 'noble savage'.

I suppose the obvious question here -- for those who belong to the thinkin' fellers union -- is why I don't say nothing in my profile for blogspot. Well, if that's you, you're right. I don't say nothing, don't talk to no one...
