What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?

I think you are missing the point, REPO. When I said that your uncle is trying to teach you something, I did not mean that he was trying to teach you how to mow lawns, move heavy objects, etc. The lessons he is teaching you are only tangentially related to those tasks. Rather, he is teaching you how to interact with other people and live in society. Those lessons are equally applicable in a small town or a big city.

As I mentioned in my earlier post, refusing to help your uncle - who is allowing you to live with him rent-free and paying for your cable television - shows an extreme level of ingratitude. (You are a grown man, and personally, I think he showed an admirable level of restraint by not putting you out on the street when you rebuffed his request.) If you display this level of ingratitude to your hypothetical NYC roommates, they will be much less forgiving (and they certainly won't help you move your hypothetical Ikea couch).

So...to be perfectly clear...the lesson your uncle is trying to teach you is:

"WHEN YOU ARE ALMOST COMPLETELY DEPENDENT ON SOMEONE, DO NOT REFUSE THEIR REQUESTS FOR ASSISTANCE."

Put another way:

"DON'T BITE THE HAND THAT FEEDS YOU."

I hope that this is clear, but I know perfectly well that trying to provide you with advice is like trying to talk sense into a table lamp. I'm not going to get anywhere, but at least it will be entertaining for everyone else.

And with that I'm just gonna stop feeding the trolls and just tell the haters to kiss my ass and accept the fact that your testes do NOT belong on your shoulders.

I'm not trolling you. I am trying to help you escape your current situation. You are free to take or leave my advice.

Smile: Tried to quote Repoman's argument of assigning household duties to members paced on particular aptitudes to my wife. Pointed out to her that while she is excellent at cooking, cleaning, and doing the laundry, I excel at maintaining a constant presence on the couch (in front of the TV) thus warding off any criminal intrusions.

Frown: Now I'm cooking, cleaning, and I've got a load of laundry in. She's currently occupying the couch. She says I can have the couch when she goes to bed.

Hey, at the end of the day you still get the couch!

Who's the winner now?

And just like that, the glass is half full! Who says being a shitty member of the household isn't the right thing to do?

If not ruining a shirt while doing laundry means you kick ass, I'm the Steven Segal of laundry.

At this point in my life, I am basically the Zap Rowsdower of laundry.

The name's Pipper...of laundry.

I ruined one of the wife's blouses a couple weeks ago. So I guess that makes me something like a beginner in a taekwondo class at the community center?

I do the cooking, my wife does the laundry. Granted she also makes clothing so I dont want to ruin anything.

A sleep-deprived Dorothy inadvertently slits her wrists and when she nods out in the ambulance, she somehow ends up in a desolate wasteland and is joined by a scarecrow made out of a disgraced preacher's skin, a homicidal maniac whose soul is stuck in a tin statue and a mutant freak as they seek a mysterious individual in a dystopian city and ultimately comes face to face with, among other things, a body-harvesting witch and a past that Dorothy's been trying to forget for quite some time.

One quick question, why would a homicidal maniac decide to team up with others? If he is in a body with no real weaknesses (sans the occasional rusting), why would he want out?

The logic here is one way only.

It sure is. Everyone here is speaking logic to you, and you're spouting nonsense back

Oh so little around here has changed...
