>If we're doing insults, which seems to be the new law on HN, you seem like a cunt.

That's pretty funny. I can assure you that as someone who spent 40 years working in the oil and gas industry your insult looks really green to me.

Thanks for jumping on the recycling initiative.

In our work profanity is a tool wielded by everyone for any situation whether it seems appropriate or not. We invent new insults and epithets instead of recycling all these ancients. We're at the forefront of insult technology every time a new worm shows up at the wellsite or a situation goes from rosy to catastrophic.

It makes the day go by, and so here I just made it through another 15 minutes with a chuckle.

Thanks.

EDIT: The more I think about it, reminiscing about all those glory days out in the oil patch, with that simple insult you may have just qualified as a potential friend. You're gonna need to up your game a bit though since most of my friends have multi-syllable nicknames for me, and I for them.

If you're in Texas maybe we could go get some ribs somewhere sometime and talk about things unrelated to right-wing jesus and his disciples.

In the meantime, since I know you must be bored from reading all this, here's a comic for you to enjoy. [0]

Of course it's the one the DoS spent $32000 on. I figured you were unlikely to follow any of the links in the references I gave.
