You are most awesome! Thank you.

If I gotta say things like I love trump to get to a point where I can make a point... Worth it. I seem to be getting further with this tact (or tack for you language Nazis )

I'm getting kinda tired of my posts being doubted..... (Not that I'm offended by your question, but sumbitch! Why would I waste so much time typing on am a cell phone if it wasn't true, ya know?

I think what may cause doubts in some is, ironically, your distinct gifts of highly detailed recall (that few possess) and the ability to apply (and again, recall 100%) the pitch-perfect verbal zinger at exactly the key moment, when most of us are trying to just get through whatever entanglement is at hand.

You retain every aside, utterance, muttering, exchange and minuscule nuance in these high-pressure, bustling environments. And you are never at a loss for words when it comes to the perfect rejoinder.

If you’re not a writer, you’re missing your calling.

I'm. Flattered. But if you are around blue collar fox news viewer /Limbaugh dittoheads, it aint all that hard. If they fall for Trumps bs, they'll easily fall for mine. I mean cmon. It's not that far a stretch.

Most r/w ppl. live in a bubble and seldom stick their heads out of their comfort area's.
So I would say this is a lot of B/S.

G: Yep, see it here now. (Again, in my own defense, I just killed a third of a fifth of 93 proof rum. Didn't wanna throw away. I don't believe in abusing alcohol.)

He keeps looking at my book. FEAR by Bob Woodward.

S: Ya know, shouldn't be reading that. Fake news.

Fer fucksakes. Really man, really? Grrrr. Blood pressure up. Time to play white, middle aged conservative.

Throwing away a 3rd of a fifth would be abuse.

Went through security, didn't see where my gate was. Walked up to security counter. Two black women and a Latino behind. This dude to the side. But hey, I'll try to record the next encounter just for you. As the rolling eye emojis tell me you're calling me a liar.

You call bs? I call asshole. Why in thee fuck would I go through that much trouble to post a story that long on an android phone? While drunk? You love st your goddamn mind.

some fun on Friday while inching through the line.
You comin back to SNOW

Couldn't find me car..... Rough night.

But apparently I need to start recording these conversations for the asshole crowd....

of the whole story or something is not being told that would justify the racism or the person complaining is just too sensitive or misinterpreted what was being done to them, or never heard or seen that before so can not be true
or simply they lie- never did happen at all -no proof
You will never satisfy some even by recording

Remember
The same crowd that used to say nah you’d have to prove it are these days complaining about all the recordings +documentation now and the attention the videos get and also what happens in society to the people who are caught on film

Yet still, if it’s not been filmed or confirmed by others who look like them , then they fall back to thier old suspicious views of never happened, something else to the story, probably a lie, etc.

Pay no attention, no recordings needed + keep on reporting !

You posted about it the other day?

You were playing a blue collar conservative in that one I think. Fascinating.

Hotel breakfast.

It's really not that hard. I work with/around blue collar white dudes in Ohio all week. If you heard the crazy shit they believe. Just this week I heard Hillary wanted to outlaw coal and Warren won the Senate election by claiming she was Native American.

Don't take much to make people who've never met me to think I'm a typical white dude. Then it's just a matter of casting a linel baited with their own bullshit.

.

The look on their faces -- priceless.

.

I'm going there next! Wish I'd had the brainpower to bring that up with this dude!

Both are teabaggers.

The first is a Navy vet, who did his 20 and out, collecting a 50% pension. He works at the Navy Yard a for a defense contractor now, which is fully funded by the government. He got his son a job there too. He enjoyed subsidized housing while active and never deployed anywhere, just worked stateside. He hits the Navy Exchange to get tax free goods, buys food at the taxpayer subsidized commissary, gets his $250 yearly property tax credit, used the GI on his older daughter. This guy could not get a fucking job and needed the military to get him one.

All the while, this jackass complains about the socialist libs taking all of his money in property tax. He's against the teachers, police, firefighters township workers. This reminded me of another teabagger who tried to run for town council--she was all for the teachers until her last kid graduated high school--then she wanted everything cut.

---

The second is a State Trooper who grew up in Camden. He took advantage of special state programs for education, became a trooper and also complains about the socialists taking money from him. He's all for the police, but every other township and county job can go--especially the teachers, once he lost custody of his kids.


I have no patience with these guys and call them socialist takers, who would be nowhere without socialism, whenever they go bagger around me.

.

The hypocrisy abd absolute lack of self awareness is stunning with these people.

Well done, Glamrock.

Well done, Glam. It takes a special talent to mess properly with these right wing nuts.

I second the motion here that you would make an awfully good writer. Seriously.

That was great.

Cool Story Bro ... and I mean that unsarcastically

You think I'm gonna go through the trouble of posting something that long on an android? I don't fucking think so....

on the facts, is familiar with the wingnuts' all-encompassing stupidity, possesses an understanding of the left v. right dynamic, and who is gifted with the gab should be readily capable of running the same mind-fuck on their dumb asses.

Getting kinda, pissed about my own community calling me a liar. Fuck man. I'm a frontman. I've performed in front of 150000 people. With a guitar change every other song (csny tribute. 100 different tunings) I had to filll that space. The other two lead singers weren't frontmen. It was all on me to kill that dead air and keep em entertained. If I can do that? It's not that hard to fuck wit fox news/Alex Jones fans. Sorry, just ain't.

Must have some Irish blood!

Man? You hit the nail on the head! Irish and spent eight years talking to crowds through hundreds of guitar changes.

These aren't stories! These conversations happened!

I'm not yelling at you, Cat. I'm just not digging the "if it happened" vibe. "Like I said above, if you think I'm writing that on an android with no truth attached....ju outcho mind or you don't know me.

wrong terminology as you tell it like a story.


quite intriguing AND funny

I don't have the patience with these fuckwads like you do.

But you were one of many that seemed to be calling me a liar and it stings.

for sharing the glam life with us. big smiles here

After kicking him so hard in the balls (metaphorically).

"Here's something to tide you over till your next paycheck, whenever it may come."

Then again, you don't want to be too naughty, right?

Wish I'd thought of it at the time! Damnit!

I enjoyed reading it -- thanks!

You are more gifted than most. You should make a written record of these and peddle it to an agent. I'm serious.

There was a guy in Germany who had a one-off bestseller called "Briefmacken," which was a play on words from "Briefmarken," which means "postage stamps." But "Briefmacken" kind of means "defective letters." There is no such real word, so it's not easy to translate.

The guy wrote to all sorts of government agencies, big companies, and hotels. Some got his humor and responded in kind. Most did not. Humor was never a German strongpoint.

Once, he wrote to a fancy hotel in Bonn and said he was coming to stay there soon, and traveled with a tame puma. He wrote that he would need freshly killed sheep meat for the duration of his stay. The hotel replied that the freshly killed sheep meat could be provided, but at considerable supplemental expense, and they would want ironclad assurances that his pet mountain lion would not attack other hotel guests (!!!!). The guy added a footnote mentioning that other hotels he wrote to were "far less accommodating."

Another was a letter he wrote to his local Health Department. He said that from time to time he performed small "hobby surgeries" on friends and neighbors in the area where he lived. Nothing drastic, you understand, just routine appendectomies, that sort of thing. He wanted their help in publishing a handbook on the subject so everyone who wanted to could perform hobby surgery on their family and friends. The guy got a reply demanding that he present himself at their offices immediately, and warned him not to perform any further "hobby" surgeries in the meantime (like I said, Germans are not known for their humor).

Your book about your encounters would surely enjoy a similarly wide audience!

I'm touched. I don't post too much outside the music appreciation group. I reply often too. But when I do, I get a lot of replies asking me to write more. Maybe y'all are onto something. Shit, I live out of a suitcase 4 days a week. I'm around these white oblivious assholes constantly. Maybe I should do some more "undercover" work and compile the conversations. Sumpin ta think about.....

I'm in a different country for work almost every day. It may seem glamorous if all you watch is Jason Bourne or James Bond movies, but if you live it day in and day out for forty years, you realize at some point that your down time becomes more precious every year. I got recruited for my gig because I speak all the languages of the countries I work in, so I'm never really in a "foreign" place every day, just a "different" place every day. Great job security, but kinda difficult (spell that i-m-p-o-s-s-i-b-l-e) to find help.

And always, a great sense of humor. I would love to have access to an arsenal of head-plays like this.

and I do not doubt that this happened. This kind of shit happens to me all of the time, only I am not quick enough to respond in the manner that you did. I usually get pissed off and ask them if they fell and hit their head on the toilet or something.

I can be minding my own business, and someone will start praising Trump and then wait for my reaction. One of my latest such encounters happened when I was shooting the shit with a guy who was refinishing some furniture for me. I thought he was one of the coolest people I ever met, until he casually started rambling on and on about "fake news".

Keep on doing what you are doing, Glam.

I hear this shit everyday. Most of the time I have to bite my tongue. I won't get into that with my customers or coworkers/employees. But I gotta tell ya. These couple times I've tried this schtick has been extremely satisfying.
It's why I shared.
