I can be a good guy, or I can be one real mean sumbitch.

It's all up to you.

I remember back when I was a mean sumbitch.

Then one day I finally realized that not only was it unnecessary...it was counterproductive.

This was about the same time I realized that being a smart ass was counterproductive as well. I suppose that, at times, the wisdom I've gained from life fails to control my innate behavior.

But I digress...love that phrase...means I'm setting up a cheap shot!!!

The one I LOVE is where you tell the D-Man that Pete is his "boy".

Have you not considered that in the "right" venue, with the "right" people present, you may be sent home to tell your momma that a "boy" whipped your ass?

Perhaps one of the frailties of the WWW...you can say things which better sense would prevent if all parties were present.
