Just the other day, I was gleefully bantering with a wonderful person in the Handy Comments Facility of the Blog of another equally wonderful person.
Me: "You, sir, are a dullard. I know it. And you know it.
And no mistake"
His response: "Eat shit, VD!"
How rude! Goodness gracious, does this person eat with that same mouth? I was flabbergasted. Truly dumbfounded and gobsmacked. What was I to do?
When the initial shock abated, I knew I had to consider my eventual response. How, on earth, was I to respond to such a wonderfully intelligent and decidedly laconic riposte like that?
Am I expected to understand the command, "Eat shit" as if only an idiom? Much like "Go to hell you Thalidomide stump sucker"? A euphemism? A cacophemism even? By 'idiom', I think I mean, I am not actually supposed to follow the suggestion literally or figuratively, but to infer from the phrase that I have somehow evoked this man's displeasure?
Should I back off as well as cease and desist any further pixellational activity directed his way?
No response expected or required?
If I do reply, do I just quip: "No!"?
Should I retort with a similarly vicious grade-school bon mot like, I don't know, maybe, "Oh yeah? Well my dad can beat up your dad!"? Or perhaps, "Whatevs"?
Or conceivably I could quote a phrase from a response by a famous Literary Critic when he was informed that the British public had adjudged J.R.R.Tolkien's, Lord of the Rings as the greatest work of English literature in the 20th Century,
"Dear oh dear. Dear oh dear oh dear. It just goes to show the folly of teaching people how to read and write."
Perhaps I am expected to infer specificity and take this man at his word and proceed to eat shit?
I think this is what he meant.
I responded......
"Eat shit? How did you know I was a coprophile? That's uncanny, it is. I'd be more than glad to abide your command.
Query?
May I inquire after how this "shit" I am requested to consume would score on the Bristol Stool Chart? I mean, if it can be classified as a Type 5, 6 or 7, I'll have no problem, but if it clocks in at a Type 1 or 2, I wonder if I could possibly have a beverage in accompaniment? I'd be grateful."
UPDATE
It seems a Jane Austen-esque riposte is best,
Stern........
"Damn you! Damn you and damn everyone who won't put a candle in the window and stay up all night damning you!"
Sterner still......
"Fuck you! Fuck you and fuck everyone who won't put a candle in their window and stay up all night fucking you!"
Oh wait, that's not right.
Never mind, you know what I mean.
Don't hate me because I am a cute Asian, hate me because I am a cunt. And what are you looking at anyway? I would like you to fuck off. I don't want people here. People who read blogs are cunts, or at best, arseholes. This is somewhere for me to record things, things I care about. Things like trephination and FGM and who feels the orgasm when the Hensel girl(s) masturbate. Also, Rolihlahla Mandela and Aung San Suu Kyi are cunts. I don't like Mother Teresa much either.

Ouch
Regarding your sign: "Eat The Rich"
Eat The Rich?
Are you mad?
Eating the rich is hardly a healthy food choice. Not only are they empty Calories, toxic in even moderate portions, but there is absolutely no fibre content! - you'll be 'tossing a caber' the density of a neutron star after partaking of something as apparently innocuous as, say, Trump tartar or Hilton skin taco. Think of your sphincter!
Besides, you are what you eat, right?
As to the anti-circumcision folks, my friend/mentor/English tutor/but, alas, not yet lover opines:
"I can't remember the pain of mine, but I do know that I couldn't walk or talk for almost a year afterward."
Pre-K children chanting: “STOP! BEING! GREEDY!” ?!?!. Oh dear the irony here is positively ferrous, if not ferric in scale!
Pre-K children of my acquaintance are all: "I want what I want when I want it" Or as my Engerland friends would say: "Pot? Kettle?"
Sho-sho-la-TAY
The Management Telephone call:
Ring......Ring......Ring......
Me: "So-and-so's So and So Shoppe. May I help you?"
The Management: "Who am I speaking to?"
Me: "Pardon? I don't understand."
The Management: "What is your name?"
Me: "Oh, I understand now, you meant, 'To whom am I speaking?' Right? I keep forgetting how badly you Canadians butcher The Queen's. It is as if you're speaking Greek to me sometimes. I have to translate in my head. Chocolate, my name is Chocolate(1)."
The conversation went down hill from there.
(1) Chocolate. Pronounced, 'Sho-sho-la-TAY'.

Rich Bitch's Reality
The Tutor: "Why do you continue to work? We've more than enough now. What is it that drives you to continue in vile gainful yeomanry? Who are you now? Sometimes I feel I do not know you at all."
Me: "Ultimately, I am nowt but a north Mandalay Burmese who has read a bit of history and biology. That means I know this: having been born seventy-nine percent of the way through the century that witnessed the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian, Ottoman, British and Soviet empires, reversal of fortune, and now wrinkles, are this rich bitch's reality. One might as well keep working and have one's Vuittons packed and at the ready."
The Tutor: "Resorting to your faux self-confessional tone? That is very unlike you. Regarding your confession, I pray it does not prove too prophetic, 'cause, like, you know, we's only gots YSL dunnage."

Shock Value
You say my posts are designed for ‘shock value’, that I seek ‘attention’ and I ‘lack decorum’. AND you claim I’ve a ‘lack of command’ of the English language.
Shock value? Yes.
Attention? Yes.
You are indeed also correct about my lack of decorum. I am a sordid, seedy and untoward Asian girl - I've no control of it!
Lack of command of the Queen's English?
Oh dear.
I do not, however, seek to haphazardly ejaculate raillery, Onan like, with the intent of maximising the number of minds my wit might bespatter. Instead I wish but to slake the thirst of, and provide a grin or alternatively a girn or two for, the truly intellectually parched. My bon mots will forever remain opaque to those weak and untrained minds indentured as they are to uncompromising dullardry.
The Tutor's Success
The Tutor tells me that to truly understand one's life one must dedicate it to the serious study of Science, History, Philosophy and Economics. And as much of the Arts as you can possibly tolerate.
That's it!
To accumulate the vast fortune one will need to allow one's self to devote the amount of time required to accomplish this simple prescription, one need only study the lives of three individuals.
For it is in these three lives will be found the sage truisms and advice one will find necessary.
Paul Joseph Goebbels (1897 – 1945)
To learn how to manipulate the deeply stupid masses.
Phineas Taylor Barnum (1810 – 1891)
To learn how to manipulate the deeply stupid individual.
Adam Smith (1723 – 1790)
To learn how to separate the stupids from their money.

Moral Turpitude
The White-Slave Traffic Act, better known as the Mann Act, is a United States federal law, passed June 25, 1910. In its original form, to engage in interstate or foreign commerce transport of "any woman or girl for the purpose of prostitution or debauchery, or for any other immoral purpose" was made a felony. It was amended by Congress in 1978 and again in 1986 to apply to transport for the purpose of prostitution or illegal sexual acts.
The English poet George Barker was charged with offences under the Mann Act for crossing a state border with his lover Elizabeth Smart.
The American Brian David Mitchell was convicted of offences under the Mann Act for crossing a state border with his lover Elizabeth Smart.
Sheesh, Elizabeth Smart sure gets transported for immoral purposes a lot. For those of my readers who might sport the surname Smart, don't be stupid by naming your girl-child Elizabeth.
The Tutor is constantly in violation of the Mann Act as he unlawfully transports me from my normal irresistible state of grace to a noisome state of morally debauched turpitude. And I must find my own way back to beatification - the filthy brute.
And when I seek legal remedy, the Courts invoke,
In pari delicto, followed quickly by, Nemo auditur propriam turpitudinem allegans - in pari causa turpitudinis cessat repetitio.
What's a missela landica to do?

La - the fuck - La Land?
So, the folks would have us believe that that new motion picture from Hollywood: "La La Land" is one fancy, must-see new Musical.
Ha!
Where the fuck is Kelly and Old Blue Eyes?
Innit?
Or better yet!
Ha! (1)
Take that Gosling and Stone!
(1) Yes, I know it was Marni Nixon - another star we all lost in 2016.
The Tutor: VD, I'm in love with you.
Vagina Golightly: So what?
The Tutor: So what? So plenty! I love you. You belong to me.
Vagina Golightly: No. People don't belong to people.
The Tutor: Of course they do.
Vagina Golightly: I'm not going to let anyone put me in a cage.
The Tutor: I don't want to put you in a cage. I want to love you.
Vagina Golightly: It's the same thing.
The Tutor: No it's not. VD....
Vagina Golightly: I'm not VD. I'm not Lula Mae, either. I don't know who I am! I'm like cat here, a couple of no-name slobs. We belong to nobody and nobody belongs to us. We don't even belong to each other.
The Tutor: Who the fuck is Lula Mae?
Ha!

Oh dear!
The Tutor: "See the glazed eyes. Touch the dead skin. Feel the cold lips and know the word of the hip death goddess. Innit?"
