Think!
Well, you did ask for it, so here, have another rumination fresh from the ol' meat-cogitator.
The crux of the issue at hand here, is the presentation of the notion. Consider the difference in the following theoretical scenarios, centered around a supposed man - we can call him Jeff - who is sitting in the diner at the intersection, eating a turkey club on rye and feeling very proud with himself, full of beans and smug satisfaction.
Now, I wouldn't be caught dead in some intersection-eatery consuming no turkey club on rye sandwich. No, no no no, my idea of a relaxing afternoon would involve doing massively more amounts of cocaine, and then getting a hold of some power tools, and threatening to cut all of someone's fingers off.
In the first scenario, Jeff eats his boringly predictable luncheon sandwich and I commit a significant number of crimes, we both end our day feeling smug and satisfied and secure in the knowledge that we know we're each better than that other guy. Great job everyone. Happy days. Brilliant!
In the second scenario, I forego my drug-fuelled assault-with-a-deadly-weapon to hang around the diner and berate Jeff for his boring life, which means I'm not having fun, and he's not having fun, and all of us are having a bad day, and it's very uncomfortable for everyone. The sandwich goes... bad, I guess, and that shifty nigger comes out the alleyway and steals all my cocaine, my circular saw, and the wheels off my car. Motherfucker.
Therefore, in the interests of base hedonism and general productivity, I must argue for the clear and present superiority of the first scenario, given that everybody gets their shit done and nobody's ride ends up on cinderblocks down the street. Hence, if the only purpose of your post is to let 'em know how much cooler you are than them, we must maintain that one would be instead better served by pounding sand.
Bravo!
(I'm the dog at the feet of the sandwich eater, lol)
