Does a stupid question deserve a stupid answer ?

[jimmalenko]

Example:



Does this sort of post deserve simply a "yes, I know" type response or am I too much of a smart-ass ?

[BJ_M]

yes a no would be in order to answer knowingly

[ViRaL1]

I won't even dignify that with a response.

[bazooka]

I won't even dignify that with a response.

I am afraid you already did Viral.:P

Yes, a stupid question gets a stupid answer.

Jim...

You handled it very diplomatically. I know that in the days of the Old West around here, the gunslingers would have laid waste of anyone asking such a lame question.

I know it must have been torture. Your trigger finger just itching. Your eye twitching from the sting and the the taste of salt from the sweat rolling down your face as you as you gaze through the glare of the sun at your next victim. Your lips curl downward and and you take a deep breath to clear your vision and steady your hand

How dare he call you out. It's High Noon and the OK corral all over again. This poor mongrel deserves to die. He has asked for it. You are on a mission from God and you will grant him the sweet deliverance that is death. You will save him from himself and the misery he is sure to bring others at this forum. He will dance the dance of death as the hot lead slugs pierce his body and burst his organs.


... And then you remember the "pussification" of the forum and head back to the saloon. You sit at the bar in your usual spot and order another whiskey. This time you ask the tender to pour it in a in a dirty glass. You drink and drown your sorrows, as you sit and recount the glory days that once were. The days when men were men and dumb-asses were flamed until they were dead and buried. Suddenly you grimace, not at the taste of the strong whiskey, but at the taste of your own tears.

Those were the days.

Does a stupid question deserve a stupid answer ?

No.

It deserves a smart-ass answer, filled with all the love and passion we've come to expect in such situations.

If you're going to pick shit at my quoting, learn how to spell it properly first. Then we'll talk


I had it written as it was first published, but after consultation with my legal team (I always consult them before each and every post ), I was told that I would need to acknowledge the author if I were to use his/her exact words.

"Screw Indolikaa Khan, that nuclear desert whore" I shouted.

They later informed me that only 10% of the sentence needs to be changed so as to avoid acknowledging your sorry ass
