Bat-Porn Wrestling League Round One - Roxy Rocket VS Cassandra Cain


One of the big bosses at my workplace is one of those dudes who has to give everyone a nickname . He's deemed one of the security dudes "Grumpy cat" on account of his grumpiness and catness (happy Cat Day BTW ) . Out of curiosity I wondered what the deal was with grumpy cat , was he a freak of nature created in a lab and owned by some marketing firm or just some cat some people had . Turns out he's a freak of nature created by nature and just owned by some lady .

Which is pretty weird . One day you're just a lady managing a Red Lobster . The next day you have a million dollar revenue stream because of your cat . Many people have fantasies about quitting their job , I wonder how many of them are "I don't need this job anymore my cat is a meme" . I would have thought that any money that could be made off this mutant cat would have long dried up but it looks like there's still a lot of cash be to made .

In January 2018 , the California Federal Court jury sided with Grumpy Cat Limited and ordered Grenade Beverage Company to pay $710,000 in damages for copyright and trademark infringement .

What an odd country we live in .

Anyway the point is that I have encountered three of these nickname dudes - the aforementioned one , a coach I had in HS , and cashier at a convenience store I used to stop in all the time . Aside from needed to give everyone a nickname they all shared one thing in common - they failed to come up with a nickname for me . All of them at one time or a another looked at me for a while trying to think of a good nickname and then shrugged and walked away . I could tell it really bothered them .

I'm unnicknamable . Possibly because I have no discernable personality .

There's a news story going around about a who had a birthday party and no one showed up so the Houston Rockets did something to cheer him up - I don't know what exactly I don't pay much attention to these kind of stories . This is a "news" story that pops up every few months , some has a party and no one shows up so a celebrity or local sports team or reality moron throws them a party . And my question is always how does this happen ? Presumably the knows they have no friends so how does this come about ?

There's several scenarios , but I feel like this is the most likely one .

Mom comes and says she's going to throw a big party for and asks who to invite . says they don't have any friends so don't have a party . Mom insists that can't be true and says she'll invite everyone from school . begs her not to . Mom does it anyway . No one shows up . is humiliated . Mom posts this on social media because I guess the isn't humiliated enough . Later on the is mocked and probably beaten by the other that didn't come to his party .

It's also possible that the is the delusional one .

Here's a less likely scenario but still one that 100% could and probably has happened . All the come to the one and say that he should have a party because they all want to come and be his friend . And he's overjoyed because he's new and/or doesn't fit in or whatever . And so he begs his parents to have a big party and the don't show because that was their plan all along . Because are horrible .

There's several million reasons I'm glad I don't have and one of them is the sometimes heart-wrenching calls I overhear at work where a parent on the phone is trying to tell their how to make friends or console them about other not liking them .

Because if your is a wiener or a dorkus or a spazz or a Debbie or a dingus or wingus or a fleeb or a quink or a willy-wolly or whatever there's really nothing you can do right ? Like sometimes parents try to help their make friends and it seems to backfire 100% of the time . If you're already lame to the other getting your parents involved doesn't help anything .

Seeing your struggle like that has to be the worst .

When I was a the only that got picked on worst than me in my neighborhood was this that wore a rain poncho one day which resulted in the calling him "Plastic" . Every day on the bus to and from school they would chant at him "Plastic sucks dick" . The entire time . I think the bus driver told them to stop once .

Anyway one day Plastic brought a bunch of apples onto the bus and he stood at the front and gave them to everyone . I 100% guarantee you that this was a move his mom recommended to try and win everyone over . Which of course resulted in everyone pelting him with apples out the window once he got off the bus .

There's this notion out there that that have a rough time early in life grow up to have great things happen to them later . Which is a nice sentiment of course but how often is it true ? Plastic for instance grew up to be a real creepy dude who still lives with his parents and got arrested for breaking into a woman's house to try and steal her toilet .

Was it because he was tormented daily for 10 plus years ? Hard to say .

And now it's time for my annual "They Live" commentary .

I watched it recently and I was struck by something new . It's hamfisted message about greed and selfishness is a good one but the problem is that it's presented as an outside influence . Aliens make us like that and all we need is for Roddy Piper to live long enough to blow up their transmitter to set us free of their control .

Except in real life there is no transmitter . This is just what we're like .

People that are into Science Fiction like to talk about how it addresses all kinds of sociopolitical issues that other kinds of fiction shy away from - which is sort of true although it's rarely done with any subtlety . Captain Clark and the crew of the NMSS Harmony fly to contrived civilization #44 where men are oppressed by women or people with star-shaped nipples get higher loan rates or violence is controlled with magnetic genital clamps or whatnot and we're shocked by the parallels IN OUR OWN SOCIETY !!!

But the issue is not how thinly veiled these "statements" are the problem is that they're shown to have very easy solutions . Captain Clark gives an impassioned speech , Security Officer Big Scary Alien risks his life to save a star-nipple , Roddy Piper blows up a thing , a mostly human looking robot pushes some buttons , one of our heroes does something and BANG , the problem is solved .

I suppose that have to do that because that's how TV (and most books) work - you have to wrap things up nicely or people will be pissed . But if you're trying to make a comment about the world we live in that seems like you're undermining the whole thing . Because they are no easy answers .

One time I said there are no easy answers and this lady said to me she said "There is an easy answer , love !"

Yeah , thanks .

I have two friends that often argue bitterly about all of life's issues and as an outside observer it seems strange to me because they in no way are speaking the same language . Dude #1 terms everything in some kind of fantasy world were people make logical and rational decisions without emotion and Dude #2 refutes him with what people actually do . So they get nowhere .

The point is this - sometimes I<b> shave </font></b>my beard so I have muttonchops . And people lose their minds . I never get so many strong reactions to just my appearance and or comments about it . It's strange .

Remember that episode of TNG where Worf just straight up murders a dude in front of everyone and that's just okay somehow ?

That happens a lot more than I remembered .

I suppose 'Curmudgeonly Contrarian' would be a little unwieldy as a nickname.
