Well Liberal or anyone else from Granite City Gossip that's interested...I guess I will finish that thought after all.
I think it's your turn to be King of Granite City Gossip. With just a few easy steps...you can be Liberalis Rex or anyone can be King of Granite City Gossip...or a female can be queen.
Following the example of a certain King...Here is how you do it....
1. Throw out the Golden Rule. It's not do unto others as they do unto you... It's treat people how you want to treat them, and then whine and throw temper tantrums and call them assclowns if they respond back to you in equal measure. You're the king and you're accountable to no one, and if you feel like being a d!ck, then people should just understand...and God forbid should anyone be a d!ck back to you.
2. If you in a conversation and do not agree with someone, do not engage them for long. If they keep going, reframe the conversation, make it about them. For example if your partner in debate likes the weather, and is kicking your ass in debate...ask him if he should be watching the weather.
3. If your partner in debate REALLY is formidable...then just disown him. Pretend he doesn't exist. Tell the rest of the board how much you hate him or her. You should save that for your most formidable debator. Pretend they don't exist and then you can just say there really is no one to oppose you.
4. I will skip this step out of respect for people that I do respect...
5. Once you have disowned your more formidable debators and have moved in on the one or two opponents left, keep pouring the insults on thick and heavy.
6. Frustrate your opponent with your insults until they are forced to call you a bitter and vile person.
7. Take an opinion poll to validate your ego.
8. Assume that everyone whether they like you or not will vote for you to stay because people tend to be open minded and at least respect your freedom of speech.
9. Lastly... you can then download your triumphal march...such as Hail to the Chief...and proclaim yourself King Liberalis Rex.
That's all you have to do...in nine easy steps, Liberal, you too can be the King of Granite City Gossip!!
The secret is out of the bag.
And what an accomplishment for your resume.
You can just write it down, and I'm sure the world will be thrilled ... "I got 16 people to like me on a message board."
Can you imagine?
Of course you and most others have a life and none of the above is of concern to you.
Still... can't you just see yourself basking in that moment of glory, playing "Hail to the Chief" to yourself at the realization that 16 people voted for you to stay?
I don't know if that matters to you or not...but apparently to some, they live for moments like this.
I am sure your life is not that lonely or frustrating, that you would have to take an opinion poll...and then crown yourself King Liberalis Rex. You probably aren't as needy as our current King.
Probably none of this would apply to you...but if you ever wanted to be King of Granite City Gossip...just follow these 9 easy steps.
