It was about 1956, when things were all right in this world. I said a wise-*** thing to a friend's dad and he kicked me the length of their yard. My friend was pleading for me to tell his dad off again because he probably couldn't, or needed someone else to get the old Cat's Paw imprint for a change. He had to live in his house and I'll bet he got his kicks a lot!!! Believe you me, a "won't slip" heel newly mounted to a proper Hahn or Florsheim shoe had considerable wallop when coming off the arc with good aim. So I went to my dad and boo-hoo-hooed. Bad thinking. HE whipped MY butt and taught me one of life's Great Lessons::"Mr. Krotulski.did exactly the right thing and I would have done the same thing myself."
Sensitivity (and litigation) in neighborhood affairs was still far over the horizon for us westwardly ho-ing kids but a couple of nights later the whole 'hood could've been seen burning trash in their barrels out in the alley. Admiring each other's displays like they were Christmas illuminations, while the little kids squealed out their game of tag, fathers and sons warmed their hands against the summer evening's chill. Dads would snort about the Danged Kids and we would quietly listen, hanging on to their every word, planning our next mischief.
Boys it's tough proofreading all the nonsense I write. If I ever screw up you'll be after me like gulls on popcorn. It's the cross I bear, but I can't help noticing that the language has been g-r-a-d-u-a-l-l-y improving hereabouts.
Kevin, take Kare.
Doggy, close your mouth so we can see your face, and turn the Cubs cap around the right way. I've got more to say about people who wear caps backwards and sideways, but if you are in my line of fire, I'll try to spare you IF you make an effort in remedial engli***his summer. Promise?

Now Dan, i have an issue with your street talk

Listen up ma homie

Yo, yo, yo me bein raised up on the left side of westmount, saw some whack whack whack crap going dow, brutha.

let me give yous a lesson in Ebonicks

1. Dan take your left hand, extend all extremities (as if you were about to give somoen a high-five)
1.5 make a 90 degree angle, extend your arm with your elbow forming a 90 degree angle, your hand should be pointing towards the sky.
2. Reverse it so your palm is facing your face
3 Cross your Ring finger over your middle finger so you end up with a W shape, Rememeber keep your index and pinky finger straight., keep your thumb straight too
4. Now, begin moving your upper arm (the one with the hand and fingers attached), keeping your elbow and lower arm straight.
4.5 move your upper arm from all the way to the right, and back, but do not surpass the 90 degree angle.
5. yell somehitng like YO YO YO, Word G, or Representing ___________ (name of your city)

with all of thos einstructions, have fun

Rememebr, i didn't encourage you i ghave you instructions..

And Dan, Dan DAN!

it's Doggy-G, Not Doggy D... G is the international symbol.. G-unit, G-string, G-dawg

i'm bound to have my *** kicked now by some yo yo yo rapper.

JohKoh, it's the darnedest thing, but after my last post your name popped into my adverb-addled mind. I thought, "Where's Joe in all these skirmishes?", and remembered that I've always admired your polite presence in these forums. I understood instantly that you wouldn't be mucking around in a place like this I'm thinking that I'll scrape my boots and step outside for a while.
You called me, Joe...thanks.

If you keep responding like that, Honestly i won't know what to think.

Last but not least, Rick, please don't refer to me as "kiddo" again.

I as a receiver had a co worker or the pm receiver come to work drunk not been drinking but drunk as a snunk.later on I had a Supervisor come to work drunk.
drinking has its place and its not doing a job as there is no Honor in a fool filled with Alchol ready to explode at anyone or not knowing common sense in time needed.you
on the rails need to be there to work.sadly I grew up seeing Railroad workers who
abused there rights when it came to drinking.

You have to say one good thing about this thread. Once we got past the obvious answer to the question, it became quite entertaining, good for more than a few hearty belly laughs.

Kev, I see you posted just ahead of me up there.
So. back track a bit, read my latest ( and any of my) posts.
Then see if you still think I'm a malicious person!!!
'cause I'm not.

ee cummings never used caps!!! Must have been a precursor of today's computer savvy but hasty illiterates. Guess he was in a hurry too, because madness was approaching..
And I try to mean what I say. I think a bit before rattling the keys, and go back to edit if if the words don't say what I mean.
Nice effort on the prose kiddo, and I'm seeing your thoughts more clearly now. They could be less declamatory however.
Hear the songbirds before dawn, take a deep breath, and laugh out loud!!!
