I'm a bastard

I think you're more of a bastard for having the creepy Lenny Kravitz lobster as your avatar.

you could turn this thread into a poll.  we love to vote on stuff.

You calling me a bastard doesn't mean anything, because you're in Ireland where "bastard" is said more often than "a pint of Guiness, please", which means that each person says bastard more than 8 times a day.

Do I have to start a new one?

I think you had ever right to say what you said.  While it may have been said in a sarcastic way.  The guy shouldn't be putting your pen in his mouth.  F$#@ um

"So, I was thinking the other day, I am a very well meaning person, I care very much for my fellow human being, I laugh and smile a lot. I love to joke, although I have a pretty dry sense of humour. I have been known to offend unintentionally. Also, I often say what's on my mind.

The other day, for instance, I was in a meeting and a guy borrowed my BIC pen, which was fine. Then he proceeded to stick the pen and the cap in his mouth to clean his teeth etc... So, at the end of the meeting, I said, "you can keep the pen, seeing as it's been in your mouth for the last half hour." I didn't give it another thought until I was on my way home, and then I asked myself, "should I have said that?".

I'll often speak freely like that, but now I'm thinking that maybe I am perceived as a bastard by some. Should I be concerned with this? Am I a bastard? "

Nope. But asking if you are is the sign of something far worse...you may just be going soft. Add that to the poll?

btw I would've said the same thing, but probably taken it a bit further

Maybe this could be your next bike jersey.

I am a bastard!! I am the bastard that ate your pen. Dirty bastard me.

Hey Lobo, I love that jersey.  Where did you get it?

I love that Arrogant Bastard Ale!

LMAO!!!

I actually don't have one, but ABQKid does. He may have gotten his locally though. I think they sell them at Jensonusa.com and maybe performancebike.com. Here's a place that I know sells them.

i like lenny. i also like people with dry senses of humor, and blunt people. more people should speak there mind instead of dancing around with bs small talk and keeping their real thoughts to themselves.

that said, i think you're super. really. what a nice thing to loan out a pen to a friend in need (god, what a BASTARD!!).

ps. more people should also learn to spell, especially around here. there. their. thier.

noted. tyrant sucks....

No, you don't suck. You've just stumbled into Beginner Triathlete: Remedial English Spelling Edition.

So, I've concluded that whether or not I'm a bastard is in the eye of the beholder (I can't remove the right of certain ex-girlfriends to refer to me as "that bastard").

Btw, Autumn, did you know that I've spent in excess of 6 weeks in New Ulm, Minnesota? And not once did I visit the Strip Joint / Family Restaurant in Mankato.

I love the name Mankato. It always makes me think of Inspector Clouseau.

new ulm. i think we've driven through it before.

you did not visit the strip joint/family restaurant...yet it was noted. hmmmm.

Opus Dude - I'll fight like a Bastard to stop the stereotyping of my people, you Bastard. By the way Guinness has two n's in it or you won't get it over hear. Thanks for the post opportunity I now only have to say "bastard" 6 more times to meet my Irish daily quota -- wow now I'm down to 5 more times. Thanks.

You know, I was looking at Guinness when I wrote it, and I was thinking "it doesn't look right!", but of course, I was too lazy to look it up!

I was waiting for somebody to take me to task on that. I have to admit though, I went out drinking with an Irish friend awhile ago - maybe you know him, his name is Brendan from Belfast - anyhoo, we left the pub and we were talking about drinking and I said, "you know you have a problem when you can't remember how you got home", he answered, "I don't know, I can't remember how I got home last Saturday".

Anyway, you're right, I shouldn't have stereotyped the Irish, even if it was a positive stereotype.
