"Sticks and Stones..."

                                              I once scored a "Hat Trick" ------------it was against my own goalie .

                          It's true, I did and it "sure as shit" WAS NOT FUNNY at the time .   But now ?   It IS funny .   It's a real >Gag< .   

                           Look at trump ---here's an asshole that HATES to be ridiculed or criticized.   OBVIOUSLY he take himself too Seriously, indeed, he is INCAPABLE of ANY self-denigration that is itself humorous at its core .   He expressly LOATHES being the brunt of someone else's humor-laden scrutiny .   He is of My Generation, a generation that was 'brought up' on, "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me ".   Most of us learned this BEFORE 3RD GRADE .  My guess is that "Privilege" somehow obstructed this ELEMENTARY Teaching .   

                          At Umpire class we were advised :  "Don't have 'Rabbit ears" and "don't be 'thin skinned' " .   Meaning, the fans are-gonna yell that you SUCK and that you are NO GOOD .  "You jus'-gotta let it go and consider it Part Of The Game" .   Sage Counsel especially when "Life is but a game" .   I mean, Life aint no fucking GAME but my Gentle Readers will appreciate the Sentiment .  Shit, we ALL should .
