Post by: The Fake Shemp on February 28, 2007, 06:20:35 PM: I know, I thought about Phoenix Dark too when this happened. :lol

I can't believe his reaction - it was hysterical. First, it started because I was unloading the dishes and commenting that we run it way too much. We run two or three loads a day when the household could just run one. He was like, "Why should we conserve water, that's stupid - hyuck!"

Then he proceeds to tell me that Global Warming is a sham and that "history" tells us the Earth naturally warms and cools. "Explain the ice age!" he exclaims.

I refute his evidence with this mumbo jumbo called science (he actually sighed underneath his breath and said, "... science, ugh.") and got all defensive. He said that the world would not end, which I never claimed it would, but I said why should we even let it get to that point when all we need to do is watch our water and electricity usage, change some lightbulbs and recycle cans.

He tells me who cares, we're all going to die anyway. I tell him that's a defeatist point of view that helps nothing, which he responds with:

"FUCK YOU! I'VE HAD IT! FUCK YOU AND YOUR FUCKING SCIENCE! FUCKING FRUSTRATED NOW GARBLE GARBLE GARBLE!"

He storms upstairs, locks his door, cranks up his PC speakers and plays Half-Life 2 as loud as possible.

He's not Jewish, by the way, Drinky. We've got different fathers. His Dad is a pretty conservative Baptist, I believe.

Post by: The Fake Shemp on February 28, 2007, 06:24:20 PM: This is the worst part - he's 18-years-old. I wouldn't dare to call him an adult mentally or maturity-wise, but he is by law. It was the worst outburst I've seen from him in awhile.

He actually cursed me out when I said, "Okay, now you're just being argumentative and that's just silly" and I'm not sure that the comment needed to be met with profanity and yelling.

Disposable White Guy has some great stories about him too. :lol

His favorite is when all three of us played Halo at North Carolina, and Disposable White Guy and I both killed him. He excused us of teaming up on him and he got angry. We laughed and he unplugs the Xbox and is like, "Fuck you, I'm going to the beach!" and walks away like half a mile to the beach while sulking.

It was completely incoherent yelling by that point, when he stormed upstairs.

One time he told me, which I relayed to Disposable White Guy, that he was going to run away and live in the forest. I asked him how he'd survive and he told me he was going to take his father's tools and make his own house and shoot game. :lol

I will fashion a house with my toolbox and live in the wild!

I am tempted to tell my mom to send him packing to the nearest recruiter's office. All he does it sulk about how hard life is. Yes, his hard life, where he lives in a huge house (we're talking several guest bedrooms) with every possibly amenity you could think of, financed by my mom and her husband's rather comfortable income. I built him a new PC rig, he has console games, portable games, a car, every possible toy he can want and thousands in savings. It's a hard life, made hard by people pushing this agenda of Global Warming on him! Explain the ICE AGE, sirs! EXPAIN IT!

Post by: Van Cruncheon on February 28, 2007, 06:40:34 PM: actually, now i just race bait my dad every time he's around. last time he was up, he was watching me play age of empires 3 and he asked me which side i was playing.

"dutch," i said. "they have easy econ."

he said, "huh. what other races are there?"

i said, "um, russians. and ottomans."

"ottomans?" he said. "what the hey! they didn't colonize the new world."

"maybe in your redneck 'history'," i said. "they pretty much have all the major founders of america, though, including the vikings and the africans." (a lie, of course; the vikings didn't colonize shit!)

"AFRICANS!" he said, horrified.

"yup," i said. "the original american colonists. they're the strongest race in the game. they can chuck spears farther than the rifle ranges on my dutch militia."

"WHAT ARE THEY TEACHING PEOPLE IN SCHOOLS THESE DAYS, THEM [DISTINGUISHED BLACK FELLOWS] ONLY CAME OVER HERE WHEN WE SHIPPED EM HERE"

"lol"

<a long racist rant about "liberal" education ensued culminating in the same non-sequitur story about some black soldiers that tried to shiv him in vietnam>

"dad, you gotta let that go!" i said, as usual

"they just jumped me! you know what they're like," he retorted.

"are you SURE you didn't refer to the NBA as 'FIVE [DISTINGUISHED BLACK FELLOW] JUMP' in front of them like you usually do?" i observed

<semi-long racist rant about the state of the NBA ensued>

ah, good times, good times.

Just my mom! My mom was formerly a baptist, converted when she met my father. She's a pretty conservative Repbulican and probably has more in line with my brother's views on Global Warming than me. She married his father and the GOP conservatism only got worse.

My father is pretty liberal and a bit of a wanker. When I turned 18 and I had to decide what party to affiliate with, it became a huge thing for my folks. When I picked Republican, I think my mom cried tears of happiness and my father cried tears of sadness.

Post by: The Fake Shemp on February 28, 2007, 07:45:19 PM: This was an actual discussion we had last night:

<Me> So what's up?
<Brother> Ugh, life!
<Me> What's wrong with life?
<Brother> I can't wait to move out of this house!
<Me> Why?
<Brother> Because it's so frustrating!
<Me> What's frustrating about living here?
<Brother> That I can't move out! Ugh!
<Me> I don't get it - if there was one thing you could change here, what would it be?
<Brother> That I could move out.
<Me> Wait, what's so frustrating about living here (a place with a TV in each room, tons of food, cable/games, etc.) other than the fact that you can't move out?
<Brother> Ugh, you just don't know! [storms out]

I guess I should throw away all these college credits then!

I act a lot older than my age because people my age, for the most part, are pansies. I've always had older friends, even Disposable White Guy is older than me. My roommates have always been older. I just tend to act older.

Plus, I've already lived on my own, without any financial help from relatives whatsoever. That goes a long way in preparing you for life.

Last year, I hit the peak of my maturity when I began to smoke cigars and drink whiskey while listening to blues. My training as an old black man was complete.

Post by: The Fake Shemp on February 28, 2007, 10:02:07 PM: Eh, there's a lot of other people that have gone through tougher circumstances than myself and come out better. Surviving in Los Angeles for two years did get rough at times, but it was one of those fun life experiences that I will eventually look back on and realize, "Holy crap, that was awesome!"

And while I have enjoyed living at home the past two months, y'know with the free rent and bottomless fridge, I don't think I could live with my folks. It would drive me nuts. I'm already turning down food and money for when I depart Friday. I love my folks, but I won't to get by on my own.
Title: Re: My brother just cursed at me, ran upstairs and locked himself in his room 'cause
Post by: Prost on February 28, 2007, 11:22:37 PM: You should be happy.... my brother is just a straight up asshole. He openly makes fun of everyone at the table, then wonders why anyone is slightly mean to him at all.

example:

he's calling his cell phone to find out where he put it.... he says "you guys really need to be quiet, because it's on vibrate and hard to hear.
He says for my mom who's talking about our dog that we JUST PUT DOWN TODAY (oh my god it was fucking terrible) to shut up so he can hear.
After nobody hears anything, she says I bet you left it in that room up there (there's only one room he's in while he's visiting and that's the upstairs middle room.... used to be his old room).
He says "hahah thanks mom, that's useful... 'that room over there'... that's like saying we sure should watch out for that guy over there, he looks scary when there's a hundred people walking around"(without pointing.. that's what he's trying to get at).
So everyone lets it go and we continue to play this board game...
Then I start talking about the job I'm getting that I'll eventually be able to be called "doctor" at, and he's like "WELL I MEAN YOU NEED TO PASS ALL OF THE CLASSES FIRST, NOBODY IS A DOCTOR YET (while he's smirking and kind of just poking fun). I point out the fact that we used to talk about how he'll be called doctor when he completes medical school, and then everyone kinda goes back to the game.
He also rips on my other brother for some incredibly just out there thing that he said about our dog.

I say "well gee man you're doing really good at being an asshole" after he rips on my mom again for something.

Now I can't get that mad... because the fucker is high strung as hell in med school, but god damn it's like we never see him, and when he comes back he's just a fucker. Your brother at least will run off, or you could ignore the conversation and walk away... my brother just fucking antangonizes you like crazy. He'll pick on personal things just to fuck with you.

I literally just call him asshole most of the time for his name. I always say something to him, everyone in the room laughs besides him... and he continues to say how it was obviously not funny at all.... and you just stare at him like wtf are you talking about? everyone fucking laughed.
