    That was Lean On Me.

    And if Joe Clark was a truck driver he would have picked flatbed and wouldn't have asked anyone else to decide for him.

    I picked ol joe up at the airport when I was in college and drove him around while he was there for a speaking engagement and the whole dang time he called me Steve. That's not my name. And I kept telling him that.

    (Can of worms, Ruthless?)

    Have you ever wondered what happened? It almost seems like it happened overnight, but actually, this has been going on for at least 40 years now. How did Stupid become so prevalent? Ever sit and play with a toddler? They're fascinating. The kid learns to walk and explore, can learn 15-20 languages, and has simple fail safe logic. How does such a bright, intellectual marvel transform into a moron by age 12? How in the heck does this happen?

    The dictionary says that stupid means 'lacking Intelligence'. That's not right. Which has more intelligence...the child at 12 months old or the child at 12 years old? Could it be, that gained intelligence is what brings on the transformation to Stupid? Well, if Timmy at 12 months old wets the bed, is he stupid? Of course not. But if he wets the bed at 21....?

    "But Six, he may have a medical condition..."

    You HOPE he has a medical condition. Anyways, how does it happen. How do you go from being able to learn at superhuman rates to having ship for brains?
    Television. The old folks when I was a kid called it the 'Devil's Eyeball'. How did they know?

    By now, most of you know what a neckbeard is. I did not realize they were so many of them. They have banded together to form the MRA (Men's Right Advocacy), a feminist group for guys. They want to be equal to women.

    Seriously.

    Have you ever known a Man, a real man, got the ManCard and recognized across the globe as having balls, a spine and an iron will, ever desire to be equal to a woman? The feminists for decades have wanted to be equal to the Man. But these neckbeard creatures are battling feminist because they want to be equal to women. Does that make sense? Sure it does. They are not Men.

    "So Six, are you saying that Men are superior to women?"

    No. In order for the species to survive, both are essential. Unfortunately for our species, there aren't anymore Men. Well, of course, they can use artificial insemination and produce offspring, but what kind of offspring is produced without a Man present? Fat, stupid and effeminate. A weakling. Rosie Odonnell with male organs. They don't chase women around the bedroom, they want to be equal to women, remember? Chasing women is too much like work. They want to be chased. They don't take care of their women, they want the woman to take care of them. Repugnant.

    In order to be truly STRONG, you must be strong all over. Physically, mentally, and emotionally. Like those tough old baztards before you. If you can't use your mind to think, to plan, to read and understand, how can you ever become strong? If you always take the path of least resistance, how can you ever toughen up (build resistance)?

    ok, so what kind of worms are we talking here?
    Like the plain ones, ones packed in olive oil. Spicy tomato sauce? Domestic or imported?

    These questions need answers.

    And don't get me started on literacy or the lack of as seems to be the new norm.

    Speaking of books, The Word Exchange, this is a fictional novel about the demise of books, libraries, and news papers.

    I found this to be an exceptionally good read.

    @TripleSix
    I'm not sure how old you are. Doesn't really matter. But my pappy who is now passed away taught me and many of my cousins to work hard,have Pride, never back down from anyone and fear nothing. Anyways my point is he'd have liked you and your work ethic. And whenever I'd wanna give up on something as a youngster. He tell me that I should have been born in his day when boats were made of wood and MEN were made of steel. He was right tho, what the heck is wrong with people today.

    It's not the brain fat that's the problem. It's the wrong kind of brain fat.

    http://www.clevelandclinicwellness.com/food/GoodFats/Pages/BoostBrainPowerwithGoodFats.aspx

    Since I started eating a lot of salmon and mackerel, and LOT's of olive oil...

    ...that's about the time I got into flatbed.

    I wonder if there's a connection?

    Eat the right kind of fat so you aren't stupid.
