Ever heard of Walt Whitman?

He used to have a major roadway named after him here on long island. Then they changed his name to RT 110.

Ever heard of Walt Whitman?

Big fan of his chocolates...

[Joe Guy]

I learn something new here every day. I didn't know his name was Walt. I always thought his name was Whitman Samplers.

Ever heard of Walt Whitman?

Sure. Local boy, lived over on Mickle Boulevard. Got a bridge I try to never use (apparently others feel the same way).

[Guinevere]

And a rest stop on the Turnpike!

[wesw]

wesw: "Do I contradict myself? Very well, then I contradict myself, I am large, I contain multitudes." - Walt Whitman

[wesw]

lol. he contain multitudes of what, were they legion?

cast them into the swine and let them run into the sea!

[TPFKA@W]

Rich. I owe $160k in student loans and. $205k on a mortgage.

But, I have amazing friends, intellect, a curious mind and reasonable health.

So yes, rich!

Let us not forget that boatload of humility you were given.

One could be forgiven for confusing "complex" with batshit crazy.

[BoSoxGal]

Oh please @w, you of all people have no right to judge me.

You're a right bitch sometimes . . . in fact, often.

I'm not perfect. My humility has increased with age, but it doesn't mean I don't fuck up and act an asshole at times. Just like you do, just like Guin does, just like rubato and LJ do, and ALL of us at one time or another.


eta: wesw, you should read some Walt Whitman, really.

Remember letting me be blamed endlessly on the board for your publication of editec's divorce? I still have the PMs between us.

And yet I don't have to point out evey little bit how smart I think I am as you do, constantly. I guess you are, justifiably, concerned that we might overlook it.

Buy yourself a big fluffy pillow dearie, you are going to need it when you land on your ass when your effort at private practice tanks. Your arrogance makes it a sure bet.

There now, I am a right bitch.

[wesw]

oh sure, thro guin under the bus..... (joke)

I may. I m sure I ve read a bit here and there. isn t there an old, lost, wax or phonograph recording of his voice that was found recently?

[BoSoxGal]

I'm sorry I forgot to include mentioning that you, too, can be an asshole, wesw.

[wesw]

thank you for including me.

[Joe Guy]

[wesw]

joe. you re "Bad"

[wesw]

that too, was a joke.

I am glad you changed your signature. it was confusing me. first it said something about being humble. then, the next line said something about being a super genius, and the difficulty of dealing with less intelligent people. then , the last one said something about not liking mean people.

each line seeming to contradict the previous line. maybe it was a joke?

No, not a joke. I'm capable of holding contradictory positions, being a fairly complex person.

Ever heard of Walt Whitman?

Anyway, it's possible to possess humility whilst also being smarter than average and occasionally annoyed by those who aren't and yes, always, MEAN PEOPLE SUCK.
