Grammar ***** - In real life, don't do itFollow

#1 Feb 25 2005 at 7:55 PM Rating: Decent
Here's the situation, as many of you know, i'm a spotty adolescent, i'm not an adult but i'm not a child, and i command less heed then both, society has no place for me, i'm an outcast, a rebel, and rock 'n' roll is the only way I can express myself. Ok, i might have romanticised my situation a tiny bit, but you get my point, rock 'n' roll has nothing to do with this post.

It has it's pros and cons, as i'm sure those few of you who weren't born at the age of 40 with a mortgage and a swolen ego will remember. One of the biggest prose is the "child when it suits me" routine, in certain circumstances, for example arguing about socialism with strangers on the internet, i am most certainly a mature adult, and that's what i'll want people to think, but in other situations, i'll play my "child when it suits me" card, i.e. I can get into the cinema for less, and when people are giving out confectionary to "children".

The public transportation field can be used in this way, a child's ticket is less than half the price of your average ticket and children (as far as west midlands busses are concerned) are those under the age of 15, but with a bit of persuasion, i can pay a child's fare.

Imagine the scene, i step onto a bus and drop in the 75p for my child's ticket to walsall "to walsall" i announce, to which the bus driver replies "it's one pound - sixty, mate, 75p is for childs", and then the mistake that cost me 35 minutes of daydreaming, i said those horrible words "you mean children".

He's a bus driver, he dosen't care what the plural of "child" is, it's not his job to care, the scowl i got was horrible, blood curdling, i didn't mean to say it, it slipped out.

My second mistake was to find a seat that was in the optimum bus driver scowling position, everytime he took his eyes of the road, it was to scowl at me through his huge convex mirror. I'd been looking forward to the busride every since i got up, 35 minutes of thinking about the day ahead, about life in general and about other things a confused man-child thinks about. These 35 minutes were racked with stress, with anger, i couldn't concentrate on fantasy with the sallow-faced bus driver, devoid of a shaving razor for at least 2 days, by my judgement, glancing up at me and giving me a look that said "you arrogant, horrible, horrible person".

That bus driver has haunted my dreams for almost a week now, and you all are the first person i've unleashed my shameful secret to, think yourselves lucky.

Well, to brighten your day I will leave you with a more discomforting thought.

Socialism and communism will never succeed because there will always be a democracy that lives more comfortably than it... People will desire to have those things. And people will try to exploit the system to try to keep up. People will see that the system is being exploited and realize that equality is only a mirage. It is a dream for those who are tall, handsome, intelligent, and wish for everyone to share in the bounty of a rich and fulfilled life. But there will always be those who are short, average intelligent, and unattractive who still have a will to succeed. For those, the only true justice is to be paid for accomplishment. For those, capitalism will always be the way.

You are quite aware that democracy has nothing in the slightest to do with the economical structure of a society right? You can have a capitalist authoritive government just as easily as a capitalist democratic government.

I think you just experienced a life-pivoting event, Drac.

From here, you have a choice. You can be the guy who allows the bus driver stare of hate to interfere with his plans. You can be the guy who never corrects another bus driver again. Or you can be the guy who already had the balls to pretend he was 15 and as a 15 year old offers to tutor the bus driver in proper usage of his native language. Helpfully explain that illiteracy CAN be conquered and that you can take time out from selling girl scout cookies to be the son he never sexually abused. I'm sure the bond will be immediate, strong and lasting.

Hey drac, by "childs," could he have meant a ticket for a child, hence a child's ticket?


whether or not i was right, he haunted my dreams, and i lost 35 minutes of bliss, that's the important part of the story, not the grammar part

honestly, i make a tit out of myself by breaking my golden rule of not posting after midnight because i don't know what i'm talking about and i look like a tit, just because turn-out was sub standard, and what reward do i get? i get people i don't know, i get a **** wanting to talk poitics with me, i get temporarily hijacked, and worst of all i get yanari.

Hows about some flames? or something witty, come on somebody, i'm making the effort, i've come back as a sort of an adrenaline shot to the forum, fu[i][/i]ck knows it needs me, i'm going to sleep now, and i expect something hilarious to wake up to, or so blindingly high-brow that i have no idea what everyone is talking about and don't bother posting a reply, do NOT dissapoint me

I apoligize, but this post was just asking for one.

Right. And exactly how much DO you pay for a used garbage bag these days?

You could offer to pay for his last meal, you tight ****. Exactly how does offering to cover burial expenses really do anything for a living breathing **** who cares nothing about anyone or anything other than himself? If you're going to try to troll a troll, at least wave the right kind of bait under his nose and bet him a kid's meal (with toy) at Burger King he won't really go through with it. Hell, you might get King Non-linear to bite if you get one of those cool crowns as part of the package.
