RSS icon Comments on Worst Post Ever About Pit Bulls

1

Let me see, I used to own a Weimaraner, my brother used to own a Saint Bernard, and our neighbors bred various dogs.

Yes, I know what a pit bull is - and I would still, if attacked by one, empty as many clips of ammunition as I had for any gun until it was dead.

Does that answer your question?

Want an injury? Try steel bars in construction.

I didn't read this post because it was too long but I think I sprained my finger by scrolling down for like a mile and a half and so I decided to go through all the trouble to post a comment that says: Too long! Under the cut!

UPS just delivered a Vietnam-era battle axe to me. No joke. (They were actually highly desirable in the jungle, but are now mostly collectors' items.) Bring on the pit bulls!

Maybe not the worst post ever about Pit Bulls, but certainly the longest...

Paul,

I didn't know how to make a "cut", so I'm sorry about that. I'll see if I can get it added.

I hope you do appreciate, however, that after writing this, I went back and capitalized all the letters that were supposed to be uppercase. You don't actually have to read it to appreciate that... it can be a visual thing.

Sincerely,

Geoffrey

i think Paul was being what they call humorous, making fun of other commenters

Yes, Paul, it's too long, but I suspect he was unable to put some of it after a break. Why don't you go complain to Amy Kate instead.

All that bitching from a guy whose posts area waste of bandwidtg 99% of the time? Give me a fucking break.

Paul, love it, though it flew by a mile above these heads!

Irony, it's like satire, but with iron bars.

If you like that kind of bike, you've got to make it out to Twinline Cycles. The owner is quite friendly and accommodating.

thanks for the comments on the bike, it's my pride and joy.

i've seen twinline cycles advertised on the stranger and have thought about going out there. thanks for the recommendation. it's obvious they are good at what they do, it's nice to hear from personal experience that they love it and are friendly.

getting young male idiots who breed & own dangerous dogs to think in a long term & considerate manner is impossible.

boiling the dog & feeding it to the owner is just as likely to work.

oh, and i finally get the Constant joke. how did i miss that one? sometimes satire is so well done it seems real. well played, well played.

Your post did have a lot of words, which can be painful to some Slog readers. But I did think the analogy to owning a motorcycle was a good one. I'd never quite thought of it that way, and I think it is a good comparison.

A little editing wouldn't hurt, but otherwise, excellent post.

Lawnmowers! Brilliant. I wish I'd had Peter's insight when trying to talk my way out of yard work as a kid.
