skybytch 273 #1 May 26, 2008 Mock - to treat with contempt or ridicule There was a time when I knew pretty much everything there was to know about the car I drove. I didn't understand how anybody could NOT know pretty much everything there was to know about the car they drive. Not too long ago I went to the parts store to get belts, hoses and tuneup stuff for the s/o's truck. Not only did I not know if it used plug wires or not, when I took the guy out to look under the hood I couldn't find the outside latch. There was a time when I'd be right in there helping move the heavy stuff. Couches, boxes of books, cylinder heads, whatever; I laughed at those who stood around while the guys did the heavy stuff. Last week while some heavy moving was being done in the yard, the heaviest thing I moved was the beers I brought to the guys. I have become what I used to mock.

Gene03 0 #2 May 26, 2008 Quote Mock - to treat with contempt or ridicule I have become what I used to mock. Maybe a little bit, like we all have done or will do. Or... you could just think of it as maturation. Psssst, welcome to the human race.“The only fool bigger than the person who knows it all is the person who argues with him.

JohnMitchell 16 #4 May 26, 2008 Hah, I'm a suburban guy with a riding lawnmower, a minivan, and a garage full of gardening crap. I'm sure someone is getting the last laugh on me. At least I still get to skydive. My weekends aren't totally lame. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vskydiver 0 #5 May 26, 2008 Yeah, but you are the sexiest guy on a riding lawn mower that I've ever seen. I don't think anyone would mock you. Besides, you still fix all the cars and lift all the heavy stuff and open all the jars. If someone mocks anyone it would be me but I'm OK with that because there isn't anything I can do about it. I'm alive and it's all good. I don't think anyone should be mocked anyway. We all do what we can. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheAnvil 0 #6 May 26, 2008 I used to think that older people who didn't drink a lot daily were wusses with no tolerance. Now that I'm no longer young, stupid & tougher-than-woodpecker-lips, I realize that they were just smarter & wiser than I was because it hurts too damned much! Unless there is tequilla involved, however...or high quality beer. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

caress 0 #13 May 26, 2008 Did your parent ever say... "young lady if you think for one minute I am going to tolerate this behavior, you are sadly mistaken. If you are going to insist on behaving like an imbocile(sp?) you are going straight to the car!" My sisters and I have mocked that crap for years! Did we find ourselves doing this to our kids? Yes and laughing all the way about it too. I find myself riding my kids for the same reasons my parents rode us, but I do it differently. I say no thank you to that behavior, and that it is not okay to act or be that way. I guess I dont put it so eloquently, but yes I say what I used to mock. I think we all do especially if you are a parent.-Caress I've learned.... That being kind is more important than being right. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lawrocket 3 #16 May 26, 2008 Exactly. Sam Kinison once said that being married is nothign but boredom. "How boring? I'll tell you. I'm so bored I actually give a shit about my FUCKING LAWN!! OH NO! OH NO! CRABGRASS? BETTER GET IT UP QUICK!!! AAAAAAAAAHHHH!" That was never gonna be me. And now I'm looking out at the dead and dried patches o fwinter rye thinking, "God dammit. I really need to lay down some Bermuda. But I can't because of that fescue growing in, and my kids will turn the house all muddy if I tear it up." My wife is hotter than your wife.

With perfect timing and the Cockney accent, Ringo replies "I'm a Mocker." Of course I never mocked someone with Lupus. Why would I do that? I'm just saying that people that don't understand are more likely to mock. Since most people don't even know what lupus is they are pretty likely to mock me. I'm not a mocker. I'm a rocker.
