And one day the redheaded kid grew up to be a billionaire who paid the illegal immigrants who usually did the yard a wad of cash to track down the bully and make him this spring's fertilizer. |
Now, first let me say that, like the good grammar tyrant I am, I always have to correct the spelling and mechanics in those repost-it fuckers; and today’s was no exception. I will never, ever, ever repost shit that has grammatical errors lest someone think I actually wrote it incorrectly. GAWD. That would be a fatal error.
But, second, once I cleaned up the little gem above, it sparkled like one of those gigantic rings in the jewelry case at Wal Mart. You know, the ones with the adjustable bands? Completely real stones too. Ah. I digress. The point is that the repost didn’t just hit a raw nerve of mine. No. It grabbed that nerve with some super-pinchy, locking pliers and then zapped it with a million volts of pure electricity. And then dipped it in salt.
Of course, I wanted to scream. I am so fucking sick and tired of the lame excuses for bullying and the even lamer excuses for humans that bullies are. But because I was on FaceBook, I couldn’t really say what I felt. So I just reposted like the good buddy that I am unless I hate you. (And you know who you are, you less-than-a-handful-of-fuckers who have betrayed me.)
However. Blu-hoo offers me the perfect venue to vent my proper rage against those slime-filled individuals who patronize, victimize, antagonize, tyrannize, badgerize, tormentorize, harasserize and any-other-ize anyone they view with their little snake-slits for eyes as somehow less.
This is what bullies truly deserve to hear:
Dear anal-plug-licking bullies,
Yeah. Okay. I’m all “*Fuck you, you fucking fuck” and no action. I know. But I mean it when I say that I have a wicked-sick imagination concerning the things I really want to do to the bullies I’ve encountered so far. I've dreamed up way more heinous things than that wuss Jigsaw ever did.
The obscenely rich and physically beautiful pustules in the digestive track of the universe who populated the schools my older daughter attended made my soul bleed with their flippant cruelty towards her because she is different. What difference did it make to them that she has more creativity and wit and smarts than all of them lumped together? What difference did it make that she was clearly already injured enough?

I wanted to track down all of the asswipes’ parents and let them in on the personality secrets of their offspring. But I figured the bullies had to have learned it somewhere and that the parents were probably just as shit-from-Satan’s-ass-smelling as their mini-morons.
There is a fantabulous anti-bullying campaign going on called “It Gets Better.” I sure hope so. But I’m doubtful. Bullying has been perpetrated since forever, and while training a spotlight on the practice WILL force more scrutiny, the scumbags with enough bile in their veins to act out their bullying fantasies will always find a way to launch their sneak attacks. And that damned Glee does not help either. It showcases bullies so that we can feel a collective distaste, but it doesn’t advocate punishment and STOPPAGE. But that’s another post altogether.
What can we do besides round up all the offenders and ship them off to Nebraska where they will flat-out die from boredom? (See “Good Ol’ Nebraska,” July 25 for proof.) I don’t know. I don’t know. But sometimes I wish this were all a movie or at the very least an episode of ABC’s Afterschool Specials. Then some cool ass could rid the world of bullies in a painful yet socially conscious way. And all in less than 2 hours.

YOU hit the bully on the head! LOVE this!
ReplyDeleteBwah ha ha ha! "Hit the bully on the head!" Ha ha ha. Woo. I WISH. Ha ha ha ha!
ReplyDeleteIts usually the kids who were bullied that turn out to be successful!!
ReplyDeleteYou got THAT right!! It's hard to be successful when you're in jail.

ReplyDeleteI was bullied in school. I have been bullied in the workplace. I live. I breathe. I move on. Just like I wish bullying would disappear into the ether with a quiet poof of smoke, I wish some would stop using it as an excuse. A child being bullied is awful. There is very little that can crush a child's spirit more quickly than a bully. The bully and the parents of said bully need appropriate correction (a ball bat to the back of the head would do nicely). Having said that...
ReplyDeleteI know many people who use "I was bullied as a child" as an excuse for bad behavior as an adult. If you are too lazy, too stupid, too...whatever, don't blame it on being bullied. Most of us were bullied as children at some point. Most of us move on from it and have successful lives. Stop giving power to the jackass that terrorized you in school. Get some therapy. Take back the power. Grow up.
