[A HERETIC I AM]

33. For pretty much the entire time I have responded to these threads, I have just used the single word "YAY!"

With no other text, or at least very rarely have I said anything else in the text portion of the reply. I have often and deliberately tried to be the first response, of which I have been successful a few scores of times over the years.

I'm considering changing that now.

I am thinking I will endeavor henceforth to be the last response on SCE's weekly thread and do so in a verbose, circumlocutory, garrulous and loquacious fashion.

Because why the fuck not? My "YAY!" has been appropriated numerous times in the past (Not today, however) such that it is no longer unique.

And for what it's worth, here is the history of why I used that singular word in the fashion I did, so as to differentiate myself from those that would foray and parlay my YAY for their own headway .

It came from a cartoon of my youth, probably one from the "Rocky and Bullwinkle Show" or a cartoon series of similar genre, wherein a motor race was depicted. There was one singular grandstand filled with a crowd of banner waving enthusiasts and each time the cars would go by, the crowd would in unison say, "YAY!"

But it wasn't a loud, enthusiastic YAY! that one might expect. It was a rather deadpan, monotone yay with little to no enthusiasm. It's as if they were saying..."oh....look...here they come AGAIN...just like the previous thousand times, AGAIN...with Snidely Whiplash leading the fucking race...AGAIN, so we have to reluctantly cheer...AGAIN...so....yay...or whatever". (And before any of you chuckleheads come at me and say "Snidely Whiplash wasn't on the Rocky and Bullwinkle Show"...yeah, yeah, I know, and I don't give a fuck. All those cartoons back then were written by the same group of reefer smoking, acid dropping, hilarious and talented overgrown teenage boys, so it doesn't matter.)

And to me, that's why it is so fucking funny! And another "For what it's worth", SalmonChantedEvening and I are good friends off of this platform. I know his sense of humor and I also know he would think all this was funny. So I'm not in the least worried it might offend him. And if it does, fuck him. And he would think that was funny, too.

My very good friend does this every week out of the goodness of his overflowing heart. He is an enormously empathetic man, and truly does enjoy the responses and affection DU gives this thread of his every week. This was evidenced a while back when it became clear that he was going through a rough patch financially and a GoFundMe was set up and a link to it was put up in the Lounge.

The response and generosity was overwhelming, and I know that he was deeply, deeply touched by the donations.

So in short.....nothing. Nothing in these replies will EVER be in short.

They will always be in long. If you don't like it, don't fucking read them.

I might on occasion put up another "YAY!" if I wake up early enough, but I'm done trying. Not to mention SCE is a devious motherfucker and intentionally changes the time he posts this thread just to fuck with all of us. Sometimes it's 4:30, sometimes it's 7 AM, sometimes it's 5:08. There is no rhyme or reason for the variation of the posting time, other than the fact that my bud is an asshole at heart and he loves every minute of it.

So to all of you fiveish or so people that read this all the way through, thanks. At least you're tenacious.

To the rest of you, it doesn't matter what I say because you stopped reading after you thought that A HERETIC I AM is so fucking stupid, he thinks Snidely Whiplash is a Bullwinkle Character.

Have a good week, everyone.
