Dammit!! Now I'm thinking of ABBA songs.
Don't blame me for that, Fernando.

A caster of spears?
A chucker of lances?
Don't they?
At this point I'm really just Lance and have been for years.
Unless you don't know me, in which case I'm the mythical figure, Lancecastor, or Lanciepoo, Lanciepants, or more recently, The Grovellor, guv.
And shorty. Don't forget shorty, shorty.
I don't see that gaining any more traction then "groveler" did.
Anyway... It cuts Lance every time he sees that we know he had to beg the boss to get his job as piss-boi back and that's really all that matters.
It "cuts" him?
Nothing is quite ever what it seems around here.![]()
Translated: I know I'm a complete asshole on here, but don't judge me by that.
Good grief. I had to go through this whole thread just to find out spearchucker is a pet name for another poster? Silly me.
I'm surprised, you've been around long enough.

Hey, I have no desire to read everything. I am constantly reading the new things that show up everyday and that's enough. I will admit my ignorance when I finally figure it out.

And there's always so much asummin' going on. Rarely do you find so many mind readers congregated in one spot outside of Cassadaga FL.

Well, you could just tell us what you're talking about, so we wouldn't have to guess. Then again, the shock of you doing that might kill a few of the older ones in here.

A little about AJ's icon, Rebecca ... errr .... Pocahontas ... umm ... Matoaka ...
"Pocahontas" was a nickname, meaning "the naughty one" or "spoiled child". Her real name was Matoaka. The legend is that she saved a heroic John Smith from being clubbed to death by her father in 1607 - she would have been about 10 or 11 at the time. The truth is that Smith's fellow colonists described him as an abrasive, ambitious, self-promoting mercenary soldier.
Of all of Powhatan's children, only "Pocahontas" is known, primarily because she became the hero of Euro-Americans as the "good Indian", one who saved the life of a white man. Not only is the "good Indian/bad Indian theme" inevitably given new life by Disney, but the history, as recorded by the English themselves, is badly falsified in the name of "entertainment".
The truth of the matter is that the first time John Smith told the story about this rescue was 17 years after it happened, and it was but one of three reported by the pretentious Smith that he was saved from death by a prominent woman.
Yet in an account Smith wrote after his winter stay with Powhatan's people, he never mentioned such an incident. In fact, the starving adventurer reported he had been kept comfortable and treated in a friendly fashion as an honored guest of Powhatan and Powhatan's brothers. Most scholars think the "Pocahontas incident" would have been highly unlikely, especially since it was part of a longer account used as justification to wage war on Powhatan's Nation.

Now you're engaging in a tactic that absolves you of any guilt because, you know, it's all about pointing out her flaws, the flaws in her story, and the myth of her life. That's fine, but it does not absolve you of putting on red face and making fun of Native Americans.
Your first new tactic was to say you were making her look strong by using Wednesday Adams as a "symbol" of strength. Then you said it was okay because she "changed her name." Now you're dragging her through the mud...
What you're saying is,
it's okay to call Cassius Clay
a nigger because he changed his name!

It's okay to impugn his memory,
because he joined
The Nation of Islam,
a big ol' bunch of racists.
Than why did everyone think
What A_J did to mimic you,
WAS SO TERRIBLY BAD???
