You know, I really am sincere

Journal by fustakrakich

I offer exactly what you already know, and I get nothing but ingratitude.

Well fine, here's the next best thing... After that, you're on your own...

    khallow is the man, only a tiny, small-handed, impoverished man. But some day, mark my or his words, he will be one of the Captains of Industry, someone who carries weight in the community, and not just around his midriff. By Sucking up to the rich, you will some day become rich yourself, like a Kock brother, or a Walton, or possible a Mercer. [counterpunch.org] If you suck hard enough, the sky is the limit! khallow could end up being the "man", 'cause he certainly does suck (up) a lot.

    fustakravicher, on the other hand, probably could only get a job as a Senate page, on the Republican side of the aisle, where they, um, "bend over a page" to mark their place in reading a bill. (As if Republicans could read, and if Republican Senators actually read bills, instead of just passing them on from ALEC. Pederasts!)

    But he's not. And I find it very difficult to believe he thinks he is.

    More likely, you just don't get him. I mean, I don't get him either. But you get him even less than I do.

    So you make him Satan. It's understandable. Just not particularly helpful.

      Oh, I get him. He is like a pane of glass to me. Float glass, like from the old days, which would sometimes have flaws in it, that allowed you to see what was not there. I think it was in the Novel, "Ceremony in Lone Tree", that some one claimed to be able to see buffalo still wandering through the town, when he looked just right through the float glass window of his hotel room. I get that. Don't make it real.

        Time to update your knowledge of glass making, float glass is a fairly recent development,
            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Float_glass [wikipedia.org]

        Between 1953 and 1957, Sir Alastair Pilkington and Kenneth Bickerstaff of the UK's Pilkington Brothers developed the first successful commercial application for forming a continuous ribbon of glass using a molten tin bath on which the molten glass flows unhindered under the influence of gravity.[6] The success of this process lay in the careful balance of the volume of glass fed onto the bath, where it was flattened by its own weight.[7] Full scale profitable sales of float glass were first achieved in 1960.

      Oh, well, then he's not gonna be billionaire and all his suck up will be for free. Or for the sake of art. The art of sucking up.

      More likely, you just don't get him. I mean, I don't get him either. But you get him even less than I do.

      With some things, the less you get the happy you are. Things like diarrhea. Or khallow.
