Every soccer team my son has been on has had at least one "special

have to have a "Xander" (pronounced 'zander'),


Your son is lucky that he's not an asshole like his dad.




You know what they say about the son? The apple doesn't fall far from
the tree. We know the father is an asshole, so the odds for the son
aren't good.

So, your own dad was a shiftless do-little dilettante dabbler, too, who
got his money via inheritance?



I think he would take exception to that description, which happens to be
the product of your fantasy filled and warped mind. Aside from that the
thing we do know for sure is that you are an asshole and if your
offspring is anything like you then so is he. That's not much of a
stretch. Unless, he's a smart guy and doesn't do anything like you do.

So, I hit it exactly squa your dad inherited wealth, and was a
shiftless do-little dilettante dabbler who achieved nothing while
waiting to collect his inheritance, just as you have been.

Got it.



Right. You got it completely wrong just like you always do. My father is
a decorated WWII veteran, has a degree in economics from the University
of Illinois, he started with nothing, was in upper management in the
Westinghouse company when it was a prosperous American firm, and ran his
own business for 20 years as well. So like you always do you make up a
fantasy about things you have not idea about and you are always off by a
mile. Meaning you're a joke.

He's terribly disappointed in you, and he should be.



Look who's talking. How could a father be proud of you? You have done
nothing in your life at all. You just got married and had one child.
Whoop de doo! Now that's really something. Not rich, not famous, not
talented, nothing. So now we know the truth about you. You have a family
that no father would be proud of. You're like a lump of coal.

But then how about you? What have you done that would make your
father proud. You never got married and never was a mentor to a
child. Certainly do not have a family that your father would be proud
of. So have done ever less than George. Not rich , famous only on
RCM as one that does not understand much. Unemployed after trying
many different jobs. Talking about lumps of coal. You remind me of
E.L. Wisty, only not any where near as funny.

And yet you try to put George down.

Found out where deeds are recorded?

Cheers

As usual you got it all bassackward. It was dick-wad Pimpleface that
made all the stories up about me. He doesn't know jack **** about me or
my Dad or anything else. He just made it up out of whole cloth so I
responded.

He made a big fuss out of me not doing anything. The point is he's no
paragon of success. One kid, a wife, a job. If I did that would you be
praising me for how much I had achieved in life? You would be saying all
kinds of nasty things about how I had done nothing.

See that's you. If I did nothing but get married, have one kid, and have
a job you would be saying what a loser I was and that I had nothing in
the way of achievements. But when you hear Plimpton say that you act
like he's done well. That's the kind of hypocrite you are.

Well if he's not a success then where does he get off saying negative
things about me? The point is if his measly achievements equate to
success than so do mine because his don't amount to ****.

The Parakeets accomplishments may be summarized in his being chosen as
the Blue Elephant Bath House Door Prize for the Month of August.

All 4 weeks! A rectum record!!!
