Who's a badass?

[the Rev. J. Darkside]

You're a little arrogant. I liked you until you expected omniscience from me. I'm rather new here so I have very little knowledge of your recent involvement with this forum. I was a little excited when I noticed that a new member had registered as "Menard," but perhaps my respect was misguided if you expect anyone to be ubiquitous and then attempt sarcasm when this proves untrue.

So I ask again:

What the hell is wrong with you?

[Doctor Menard]

You're a little arrogant.

I'm not a little arrogant; I'm very arrogant.

I liked you until you expected omniscience from me.

First...

Whether you like me or not is not going to make my day either way.


Second...

Presuming I have some god complex and expect you to accept me as such is one hell of an presumption (and massive leap) to be garnered from my usual sarcasm.

Anybody here who does not know me, does not read much of this board. You will notice my name was brought up in a thread about badasses. Even you brought up my name.

Do you recall me asking anybody to make a reference to me in this thread?

Of course not. It's just natural to associate me with references to badass, a***ole, prick, self-righteous...think I'll end the associations there or else this could turn into a long post.

Such associations are humorous, intended in good fun, and often true; plus I'm an attention whore and simply eat up the attention.

So I ask again:

What the hell is wrong with you?

Really...where do you get off asking that?


Do I not fit within your parameters of expected behavior?

Hell no I don't.

And I doubt many of the other members here will as well.


We all exist on this forum as....well....ourselves.

If what any of us are on this forum does not sit right with you...

...tough.


If you don't like what I am, or what any of the others are:

First...

Join the crowd; as we all don't always get along, hold hands, and dance around the mulberry bush. In the end, though, we are friends and fellows.


Second...

Read the first part.



Asking someone what's wrong with them is rather like asking why they are different than you, and that being different from you is wrong.


If you want to look upon me as 'the wrong stuff', be my guest. I'll continue to be myself whether you like it or not.

Gents, please take a step back and take a breather.

Gents...

Who you callin' names?

When arguing with Menard, the following quote comes to mind: "The only winning move is not to play." 

Karma to the first person who names the film!

WARGAMES - starring badass Matthew Broderick

[Rev. Powell]

Correct!

[John Randal]

Kurt Russel

Snake Plissken anyoone? :)

Did you really refer to Matthew Broderick as a badass? How could you type that without laughing yourself into at least three typos?

Seriously, Broderick? He tends to play wuss roles (well I might add). The closest he came to being a badass was in Ferris Bueller's Day Off, and even that was a stretch. I have not seen that war film he was in; maybe he was a hardass in that.

His character displays physical courage in the film, but his real showing comes from his moral courage.  He is not a badass, he is a true blue officer - a man who can lead men in battle, no matter what the conditions.

[the Rev. J. Darkside]

You just defined a badass. There a few different types, and that was one of 'em.

Now wouldn't you consider his character of Mouse for Ladyhawke to be a badass?

Mouse sends soldiers on a dizzying scramble trying to catch him, crawls through spaces only a rodent would, swims into freezing water to save a wolf from drowning only to be mauled by the wolf, and ends up in the arms of a monk...uh...forget that last part.

[the Rev. J. Darkside]

I haven't seen Ladyhawke, but from your desciption it seems he ran from a fight and perfomed actions only a mental deficit would allow. I'd call that survivability from a hippie. Did he dispose of his pursuers after promising them "a war [they] won't believe?"
