The annoying part of it is…if I had a nail sticking out of my head, she’d never want to talk about anything else.

Scary Manifesto that keeps getting pushed down on the sidebar by filthy capitalism!
They say that Louis XIV had the inscription Ultima Ratio Regum cast into all the cannon of the French Army. It means “The Ultimate Argument of Kings,” and that always struck me as one of the most honest and up-front things any ruler or would-be ruler ever said. “We can dress it up prettier than this, but when it comes down to the unvarnished truth this is what it’s about: You’ll do as I say or I’ll send my goons to kill you.”
I thought about that for a long time. If there’s an ultimate argument, it seems only logical that there must be an ultimate answer. For years I thought the ultimate answer must be the bullets in my rifle, but it never seemed quite right. I’ve got bullets – he’s got frigging Cannon Balls. I mean, if there were three hundred million rifles throwing bullets at him, then maybe. But we all know that’s not going to happen. So if there’s an ultimate answer to his ultimate argument, it sure as hell ain’t bullets.
It finally came to me – and that’s when I abandoned the city and most of my stuff, and gave all that was behind me a good stiff Randian Shrug.
The ultimate answer to kings is not a bullet, but a belly laugh.

I very nail, sorry, I meant nearly,
sent that to the ex
Ooohh, oohh, I can fix this! Let her get so frustrated with his inability to curb his fix-it impulse that she pounds her head against her desk or the wall… but you already see where this is going don’t you? I’ll stop now. And the dude should wear his eye pro even when off the range.
Someone posted this elsewhere. A female commenter (apparently not intentionally trolling) observed that the video perfectly captures what is wrong with men, how men won’t listen and focus on the wrong things. And scornfully noted that even after watching the video “most” men still won’t get it.
She’s at least half right. Someone won’t get it.
I hereby officially give up. I shall track down a decent Internet Pr0n website where, when I’m done, I can turn the blasted thing off.
The blank spot just above the comments is a video link right?
I wonder why my browser can’t see it?
Is there a link other than the image?
[Like the embed links that Claire uses on the BWH blog site.]
I’m pretty sure I can live without it but … some of the things you put up are interesting.
Boy … did that come out sounding wrong or what?
I’ll go hide my face now.
stay safe,

Sort of following on from Bear noting the lack of an off switch (or any volume control), did anyone else here experience a certain choice of timing to initiate such 4+ hour long conversations – like 2am when you’ve got to be out of the door at six for a long drive and an important meeting…?
But can she panel my den wall?
