At some point in time, no matter who you are or where youve been, you were talking to someone who simply wouldnt stop yammering. If youve ever been talking to me, you know what Im talking about. Naturally, you would want them to shut up. Especially if they dont know what theyre talking about. Now, in certain social situations it might be inappropriate to go outright and say Why dont you just shut the heck up, you moron. Though you may want to, its just plain rude. Personally, I find it much better to subtly humiliate them. Say, for example, youre with a group of individuals discussing something or other and the yammering loudmouth eventually leaves an opening for you to butt in. Something like Aint that right Lanky? or Dont you think so, Stickman? At which point you can say something like, Well, Ill tell you what I think. And then use this little parable Im gonna tell you. The conversation should go something like this. Now Jimmy (insert morons name), you see, once there was this little bird- Little bird? What are you talking about Bones? I thought we was discussing water coolers. Just let me finish. Ive got to make a point. Well dont take all day. Im a busy man and I aint got time to go bird watchin with ya. At this point, therell be some chuckles from the other individuals but I assure you, in the end, theyll be laughing with you and at him. Like I said, once there was this little bird. Now he was a poor starving little bird. He was so hungry and starving that he couldnt make any noise. He couldnt fly. He could scarcely stay awake. All he could do was manage to stay on a small limb of a birch tree. But then, an amazing stroke of luck happened! A big fat cow cam lumbering up to the tree and planted a nice fat cow patty at its base. Well, as soon as the little bird smelled that fresh dung he got very excited. He pondered briefly about his dignity, but then tumbled out of the tree to the manure meal. The little bird gobbled and gobbled and finished the plop in record. His strength returned and he felt super. The little bird was so happy that hed been able to stuff himself with all that poop that he started to shout and sing and dance. In fact, he kicked up such a racket that it caught the attention of a nearby hawk. The hawk, honing in on the noise, swooped down picked up the bird and ate him. What the-? The hawk at the bird? What kind of story is that Slim? At which point you can reply: Well, its a story with a moral. When youre full of crap, keep your mouth shut. Heres the point where you turn your back and walk away the witty victor. Anyone within ear shot will be laughing at him because of you. So there you have it. Use this knowledge wisely before you post anything stupid on Kurakani :-) ( source: http://www.geocities.com/pmcwpike/bird_story.html ) |

Honey, I was talking about KuraKani, not the chatroom. Chatroom is one wild place and you know that. Don't you ? Anyway, I'm glad to read your posting after a long long time. By the way, I checked a dictionary to find out what the hell "ugly duckling' means because I was thinking maybe ugly duckling means someone who walks like a duck ( ya know with that big ass and all..) but I was not even close. According to a dictionary Ugly duckling is " One that is considered ugly or unpromising at first but has the potential of becoming beautiful or admirable in maturity". All I can say is "Our future sounds great !!" :-) |
