Have you shared your feelings with him?

It is amazing the difference between a good, quality, (expensive), silk necktie and an average one. From now on, only really good ones for me.

Nope. I'm just going to take some Tylenol and lie down until the feeling passes.

Tylenol's good for that?

Yep, sadness ensues

So, my next door neighbor is one of those ultra-annoying fuckers who repeats myths/inaccuracies/urban legends as though they are fact. And he's so incredibly intelligent that, when you try to correct him, he argues about it because, of course, he's smarter that you are. It doesn't matter who "you" are, he's smarter than you. Just ask him. A couple weeks ago, he tells a group of us that the reason that blacks have "taken over" most sports is because they have an extra ligament in their knee that allows them to run faster and jump better than white people. I point out that this is total crap of the myth variety, he argues about it. Last night, he informs a group of us that Jagermeister is made with deer's blood. I point out that this is crap of the urban legend variety, he argues about it. I think it may be time to find a series of polite ways out of associating with this idiot.

Just print out all the snopes pages and have them handy to go "bam" whenever he does this. Public embarassment is the only thing that will put an end to his behavior.

Vespertine · « **Reply #2187 on:** May 03, 2007, 03:42:42 PM »

Funny you should mention that. I just got done printing out the Snopes page on Jagermeister. I plan on leaving it under his windshield wiper tonight.

ivan · « **Reply #2188 on:** May 03, 2007, 03:47:19 PM »

The original urban myth, at least the one I first heard in the 70s, attributed african athleticism to an extra bone in the leg. I wonder why it morphed into a ligament?

The deer's blood in Jagermeister myth is not even worthy of being a myth. There's a deer on the label. You need like zero imagination to come up with that one.

Ves, being passive aggressive? I kinda pegged you to be more of the overtly aggressive type.

ivan · « **Reply #2190 on:** May 03, 2007, 05:15:44 PM »

She'll wait until he finds the note and reads it, and THEN she'll punch him in the nose.

pbsaurus · « **Reply #2191 on:** May 03, 2007, 05:18:16 PM »

Hope so.

Well, you read my story. Overtly aggressive doesn't work. He stands there and argues about it because...he's the smartest person in the FREAKING room!!!

ivan · « **Reply #2193 on:** May 03, 2007, 05:36:09 PM »

You need to find another room.

RelandR · « **Reply #2194 on:** May 03, 2007, 05:52:40 PM »

Agreed,

I expected something on the order of stapling it to his forehead or another insignificant part of his anatomy

Well that's a good start for the passive aggressive approach. If you need any more tips, my wife says I'm a master...and how can I argue with that

BizB · « **Reply #2196 on:** May 03, 2007, 09:06:22 PM »

That's absurd. Everyone knows that black people are better at sports because of medulla oblongata. Mamma says it's because they gots all them inches in they pants and no place to put 'em.

Seriously.

Evonus · « **Reply #2197 on:** May 04, 2007, 12:24:28 AM »

Black people are better at sports because the secret Soviet communists that took over the lost city of Atlantis after the fall of the USSR steal them during the night and enhance them so that their success can create racial stereotypes and myths and bring down the great western world.

Is this before or after they created May Day?

Obviously after because May day has been around longer than the fall of the soviet union.
