I’m a retired 64-year-old semi-recluse cynic living in the hills above Melbourne, Victoria, Australia with my two adored German shepherd dogs, Sam and Lochie. If I wasn’t 20 years clean and sober and a sucker for kids and animals, I could pass as Australia's answer to W.C. Fields. I was born on the wrong side of the tracks and attended a Christian Brothers concentration camp until I was expelled half-way through 8th grade for punching one of the cassocked sadists in the nose and breaking it. Apart from two semesters studying Community Development before the rabid Marxist Feminists and the attendant Chardonnay Socialists drove me to chuck the course in, I have no further formal education. So ridiculing my grammar will only make you look foolish in the eyes of the educated. :nopity: My pet dislikes are religious people, purblind patriots, and hypocrites (pardon me repeating myself). I hasten to add that I’m very democratic in this, in that I despise ALL religions and ALL purblind patriots, including 'Strailyuns. However, like Jesus, I reserve a special aversion to The Money Changers, or Work Ethic Calvinapitalists, who think wealth denotes divine favour and/or "salvation." My hobby is exposing the aforesaid for the misanthropic Cup-a-Soup supremacists* - who hide their smutty little minds and inner inadequacies behind faux "respectable society's" institutions - that they really are, before their unfounded narcissism brings about the nuclear Armageddon they all so richly deserve. Excluding the aforementioned frauds, I hope, despite my considerable alcohol-induced brain damage and advancing senility that I fit in with he rest of you here. *Just mix in decent family values curs, lacking the courage to state the covert conviction of their supreme personal self-importance, with "the flag" and/or Bible and stir into fascistic self-righteousness.
To The Hip Forums Allow me extend the welcome mat….I know what it’s like to be a newcomer….You don’t really know what to say or how to act…. Read some of the threads so you can get the gist of what topics are being discussed….When you feel comfortable jump right in and get your feet wet…. Nobody here is going to "Flame" you, that just isn’t tolerated here (unless it’s necessary) lol…. We get some assholes here who just want to stir up bad vibes.…From what I’ve found so far is that we are one big family with many brothers and sisters….Once again the doors open come on in, open up your heart and mind, put on some groovy tunes, kick back and stay awhile….Peace, Love & Great Big Hugs, DDR (A.K.A. Dave) :jester: Quote Of The Day Frank Zappa: "The computer can't tell you the emotional story. It can give you the exact mathematical design, but what's missing is the eyebrows."
