Title: Max Gets His Mancard Revoked
Post by: Ned Hamford on September 05, 2014, 02:34:18 PM
I generally do not laugh at the misery and misfortune of others... but this video of a man in a sinking kayak has proved to be exceptional.
His misery is as pure as his incompetence; which makes it utterly deserved from my reckoning.

At first I thought it was going to be a commercial for that sealant with the cannon holes.

But noooo, and the worst case of acting overacting I ever saw.

(Not affiliated with that product, I just thought the commercial was cool.)

Which brings me back to my "belief soap box."  Belief and reality may coincide, but only coincidentally . . .

Hmmm...thinking it's real.  Unfortunately, I have run into people creatures like that before.  To me its behavior was so spot on that it was either real or an Oscar-worthy performance.  Also, its female companion sounded like she was reacting to its plight in a genuine fashion.  It didn't sound like she was acting to me.

ETA:  Just had a thought.  Is this how our Dear Leader would behave if his kayak were sinking and he didn't have the SS around to help him?

I don't think that's going to be a problem. If he can't handle some damp lake weeds, I don't think he's ever going near a vagina again.

You're assuming he's been near one before. I almost wonder if he doesn't have one himself/herself/itself.

Technically, he was still NEAR it at least the one time. May not have gone THROUGH it due to a C-section, but he was very close to it nevertheless.

"Harden the deleted expletive up!"

I should tell that to my new neighbor, who objects to my water running in the kitchen because it interrupts his meditation.

Deleted expletive, I've been here 20 years and nobody's complained yet.  I do my dishes by hand instead of using the dishwasher.

(Just kvetching about a recent thing. Maybe I should harden the deleted expletive up and keep it to myself.)

No, he is the one that needs to be told to harden the *expletive deleted*ck up.

If you aren't willing to do it, I will. Be forewarned it might make him cry like a little bitch, but I give no *expletive deleted*s.

If his meditation is hampered by the sound of running water, he's doing it wrong.  The point of meditation is peace of mind.  Done properly, it will enhance one's ability to deal with distractions, not weaken it.

Do not fall for this hurtful attitude.  I will, for less than half of what Boomhauer was going to charge, come out and help your neighbor be no longer have his meditations interrupted by the sound of running water - from your place or anywhere else.

After all, what are friends for?

stay safe.

I'm well aware of that from my own deep introspections,  and I almost said it to him, but I thought it would be too antagonizing.  I do try to get along with folks.  

After he mentioned it, I would check to see if his car was in the lot before washing dishes or whatever, no big deal.  But then he lost his car, so I couldn't tell if he was home or not, so I figured the hell with it --I was willing to "accomodate" his needs just like I do with the other neighbors, but I wasn't going to "cater" to him.  

The Brothers Grimm story about "The Princess and the Pea" occurred to me more than once.

Twice while I was running water he pounded on the wall, and once I heard him holler something that ended with "g-damn kitchen."   I thought I heard something like scratching outside my door and then a thump on it, and then more noise and the thump again.  I dismissed it as one of the maintenence people cleaning the rain gutters and accidentally hitting my door, but later, when I opened the door, I realized the noise was like when I jiggled my front doorknob.  But it could have been someone at someone else's door. Fortunately, I keep my deadbolt locked at all times.  

There was none of the gutter-junk around, leaves and such, that usually results when they clean the gutters. "Reading into it," I wonder if he was trying to get in, but of course that would have been really bizarre.  But I've dealt with all kinds of people, and when some of them get on drugs or drunk, there's no accounting for their behavior. They get all self-righteous and can justify anything for themselves.

Hey, I lived in that (his) apartment for ten years, then moved into this one next door and have been here for another ten years, twenty total.  Nobody ever complained about water noise, and it never bothered me.  It's just part of apartment living --you're only ten inches from your neighbors.  So it's pretty quiet around here, no parties, no kids running around screaming.  But it's not a monastery, either.

More minor weird crap has occured with him, but I don't want to trash up this thread with it.  I did start to document it for myself.  No, I don't want to complain to the management, at least not until he pulls something "evidentiary."

Correct. If he is in a proper meditative state, you could be washing the dishes in HIS sink and he shouldn't even be aware of it. Meditation is an altered state of consciousness.

When he said "meditation," I had the impression he was about to say "prayer" but changed it.  Just an impression... a slight delay before he used the word.  

Maybe he was about to say "climax," who knows fer shore? :D

There isn't enough data to see if there's a regular time for this, the few times he's reacted seem to be random.  I ain't about to experiment and make dishwashing noises throughout the day just to see if it ticks him off at any particular times.

If I knew what times he "meditated," or "prayed," or whatever, I'd accommodate him to the extent of not running water at that time just out of respect.  Just like I don't flush the toilet in the middle of the night so as to not disturb my downstairs neighbors.
