Sounds About Right Again...

We post cuz we can.com

Yep, I Know Plenty Of These...

(from article found on web...found this quite interesting....)
"I don't know whether history repeats itself, but biography certainly does. The other day, Michael came in and asked me what a "jerk" was--the same question Carolyn put to me a dozen years ago.
At that time, I fluffed her off with some inane answer, such as, "A jerk isn't a very nice person," but both of us knew it was an unsatisfactory reply. When she went to bed, I began trying to work up a suitable definition.
It is a marvelously apt word, of course. Until it was coined, there was really no single word in English to describe the kind of person who is a jerk--"boob" and "simp" were too old hat, and besides they really didn’t fit, for they could be lovable, and a jerk never is.
Thinking it over, I decided that a jerk is basically a person without insight. He is not necessarily a fool or a dope, because some extremely clever persons can be jerks. In fact, it has little to do with intelligence as we commonly think of it; it is, rather, a kind of subtle but persuasive aroma emanating from the inner part of the personality.
I know a college president who can be described only as a jerk. He is not an unintelligent man, nor unlearned, nor even unschooled in the social amenities. Yet he is a jerk cum laude, because of a fatal flaw in his nature--he is totally incapable of looking into the mirror of his soul and shuddering at what he sees there.
A jerk, then, is a man (or woman) who is utterly unable to see himself as he appears to others. He has no grace, he is tactless without meaning to be, he is a bore even to his best friends, he is an egotist without charm. All of us are egotists to some extent, but most of us--unlike the jerk--are perfectly and horribly aware of it when we make asses of ourselves. The jerk never knows."

This Had Me Rolling...

I won't give it up with this show...I hurried the last few hours before it came on, and then wouldn't move whenever it did come on....It's about 4 hours every week, but I've been watching it since we got here, and mostly just stick around for the laughs...I really don't care about that stuff...nothing that I would ever want...These are re-runs, but were just too funny...I had no idea that people even talked this way...I can hardly even understand them...I wouldn't last 5 minutes if I was on this show and watching everyone else throw a big fit over some meaningless merchandise....maybe others will have more luck than me when u play this...and just what exactly is a "pepperoni-looking ass, & a big ol' Barney lookin' ass...this is a great show to watch just to pick up some of the names that they call each other...I think that I'll start writing some down cause they are too funny...

Happy May
