Dear Folks,

 

If you have not yet guessed.....after all these years....

 

I share almost NOTHING, culturally speaking, with 99-percent of you.

 

Does this even matter?

 

Is it a Capitol Crime?

 

 

You are correct.

You hate me....

 

But, I do NOT hate you.....

 

I see you as ants beneath my feet.

 

I mean, I do not especially like ants in my house, yet...

I do not mind them.

 

As you guys must know......

I have taken a LOT of flack, with great EQUANIMITY....because....

I am a very even-tempered sort of guy.

 

But still, I do wonder, how much longer can I take these slings and arrows, day after day, without ANY reaction, whatsoever?

 

Personally, I do not care much because....

I am here VOLUNTARILY, unlike some of you who may be FORCED to be here, and to read my posts....

And, I feel sorry for the likes of you, believe me.

 

I think I was happier during the pandemic.

 

And, during the pandemic, you were happier, too, if you would admit it.

 

What say you?

 

Best regards,

Gamma

 

 

Such beauty.....in destruction.....

As you can see.

 

Do not worry Gamma, we know more about you than you know we know 😉 

 

No hate, just admire your way of escaping the real reality by living in this alternate reality 

 

well done Gamma

Thank you.

 

You are one of the very few who might appreciate people like me.

 

My sincere thanks to you.

 

Note:  You, by the way, and people like you, are the only very few....who matter most in this tired world, and to me....

 

 

I salute you, Sir....!!!!

 

We, and those like us, I salute.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am not worried.

 

During recent years, I have surmised that there has been an extremely small cabal who deign to post on the Farang Pub, 

 

I am one of this small cabal, and so are you.

 

Those who take the time to post on the Farang Pub are a very select group.

 

How many are there?

 

Not more than 10, I would say.

 

==============

 

Speaking of those who post on the Farang Pub....

 

"Here's to us, and those like us. Damn few, and they're all dead."

 

Or, soon to be dead....

 

 

 

Just a bit of banter...your posts are quite unusual but I don't really have a problem with you/them.

Just a bit of FREEDOM NOW.....

 

 

Days long gone.

 

No freedom now....

 

And, far less in the offing, too, if present trends continue......

 

Note: If you look closely...  I think he was singing without his front teeth.  Such pathos....unbelievable.....a man, missing his front teeth, singing about freedom.

 

Note2:  Someday, we shall overcome.... But, this will not happen now, nor tomorrow....Yet...someday....

 

 

 

 

Less shared the better, people share too much, they think people are interested

Even worse....

 

Most young people have become completely disinterested. 

 

a. Lying Flat

b. Gen-Z Stare

 

And, it can only continue to deteriorate from here.

 

At least, some of us continue to pretend to be interested, unlike the majority.

Thank you.

 

You might have said:

 

"Your posts are quite a bit of garbage."

 

However, you are too old to say such things.

 

Instead, you use the more respectful term, "unusual", rather than the word "garbage".

 

Such respect.

Thank you!

 

 

I enjoy your posts about the old days and adventures you've had. Also you piss off the old boomers here which is very amusing.  

Keep being you. Far greater posts than the mountain of back and forth garbage that pollutes this forum.

You know...when I was attending high school....

 

My friend drove me to school, early every morning, in this Corvair....(the exact same one)....

 

 

As we all knew, this car was considered dangerous, and here is why:

 

 

 

In the dead of winter, this car would NOT heat up.

 

The heater in this Corvair was useless.

 

Thankfully, before I graduated high school, the Corvair was put to rest.

 

One of the most uncomfortable cars of its time.

 

But now, these days, it seems to have become  a valuable classic.

 

Still, the Corvair is not worth two cents, if you really want to know.

You are a gentleman and a scholar.

 

A very rare find, in this day and age.

He's like the man at the back in the Monty Python And The Holy Grail Scene - "I'm Not!"
He's speaking on behalf of the silent majority, rather than claiming the silent majority to his prejudice like so many trouble-makers do.

I hope that comment doesn't get this moved to the Current Affairs forum...

You'll never break that Philly bond with me.   City of Brotherly Love & all.

 

Where's Frank Rizzo when you need him 

 

 

I feel you though, as I'm pretty sure I relate to less than 10 folks on AN.

Let's all take a silly walk, together...silently.

I normally prefer we / us.  It’s more inclusive, and acknowledges our own contribution to the issue.
