Don't U bOyz Get IT

In my family ...they consider me to be the RETARD....

Daddy holds patents, and waS an Aerospace Engineer

Daddys younger brother was a Plant Manager and research chemist

Daddys Godson...and you'll love this was part of the IBM team that installed the first computer automated automobile production system in the world...Chrysler in 1962 AND went to Japan and lectured the Nips on how to do the same thing in their plants...now he's working on that Pay for road useage thing that is going to be installed in autos

Daddys older brother was playing his violin on the radio by the time he was in HS

One of my cousins got a full scholarship to the UM for Creative Writing and Computer Science and firtst job was working for a co in the S of France writing Software his lovely sister has a MA in Library science...

Daddys cousin has a MA in Math...and was a school teacher...

and me what have I done...not a fking thing....except sponge off the fat of the trust fund....

However the point of all this is that even on my worst day....I can out think any 5 of you boyz....so what does that tell you about my family.

My family considers you the RETARD too. I guess you're family and mine have something in common after all.

I've got a crazy idea, why don't you simply get a ******* job? Even if you don't need the money, it will give you somewhere to go every day and a chance to interact w/ other people in the real (non-cyber) world. It will doubtless do wonders for your state of mind, and you might even wind up w/ some extra $$ to waste on pointless-but-fun hobbies like restoring your old 911.

Lots of rich people enjoy playing "dress-up", so to speak, putting on a shirt and tie every day and going to the office even though they can wipe their asses w/ C-notes. You should try it!

If it doesn't work out, you can always go back to being bored schitless every day of your life, thinking about yourself all day and annoying us w/ your family stories.

Oh, and BTW, my family's brain power makes your auto factory/engineer/computer/whatever people look like the short bus crowd. But I'd never brag about that, it's not polite.

Today in the barber shop, I met the man responsible for the creation of Big 5 Sporting Goods. Sure, he's worth 100s of millions of $$$, takes three-month cruises, etc., but he's also 100 years old, on a walker, can barely speak, and was getting his nails manicured for no good reason.

The point is..."no good reason."

Everytime I read one of your posts I feel so much better about myself. Nip? That's a really kool way of showing how smart you are. My take on you, especially after seeing you faux paint and sleezy cap, is that you're a phoney. All talk and hot air. Lot's of hot air from what I could tell by your picture. Psssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss,,,you're leaking!!

No, he's the real McCoy, and doesn't throwing around the fact that he is. Tabs, honestly, is pretty high level...

It's the same as "Beaver" in the old black and white show Leave It To Beaver.

Now what was Beaver's real name?
