Children should be seen and not heard.

Until a youngster has begun being productive and carrying his own weight he has no say.

Bullshit. There are kids' menus and they can either eat or learn what being hungry is the way we did. It pisses me off to see him try to reason with a 2yo and a 7yo who both do whatever the hell they want...and usually at high volume.
I met a guy who let his kids call the shots. After he put them through college he proudly told me that they had become activists. I told him that, in that case, he had failed as a parent.

I remember my step-daughter, at about 4, throwing a fit because she didn't want the whole family to ride in one car. My wife caved and we took our own car. She asked me why I was pissed and I said I don't appreciate being told what to do by a 4 year old. She said she didn't want to listen to her cry the whole way. I said let her cry. She'll get over it.

After the Uvalde shooting, he was lecturing me about not keeping all of my weapons locked up with a trigger lock. So, the one I keep on me, the one in my night stand, and the one hidden in my truck need that treatment too? That makes them useless. He can't seem to understand that.

And get this, I commissioned the little shit in the AF as an O-1 maybe 11 years ago and he pinned on O-4 last year. This is depressing to see the kind of leadership that has come through the ranks.

Stepfather is a tough role. You have responsibility without authority (because you're "not her real father").

I like GTO. I find his schtick to be mildly amusing, but sometimes hilarious, but then Yaddy is also ok by me. He can be hilarious as well.

GTO is a funny dood, one helluva of lyricist, and a competent mechanic. I believe he purposely plays the Yaddy Amiration Role to pizz everyone off.

Yaddy is a little crusty, but knows his shit, about almost all things, and will always lend a hand, his FL schtick is hackneyed, but humorous at times. I would call him if I got pinned under a car, pretty certain he has ten ways to get out and save one's life.

I stated before I have respect for Yaddy, as he went back to CF with only a single intent, and ripped those aholes, while fully knowing it was his last post, he gave them the big FU, I kinda teared up a little.

Yaddy would be better than UD if he had all that free time to post,,,

GTO needs to post more of his lyrics.

I would have to say that I agree 100% with this assessment. It's amazing how some folks get riled up with the Yadkin-on-a-pedestal schtick. Oh well.
A good friend of mine always says: 'anything worth doing is worth overdoing'
I agree. To a fault. I tend to beat things into the ground and then keep on beating. Must be assburgers.

Anyway, thanks for the compliments. I agree with your Yad assessment as well. I respect the man for what he has accomplished and the work he has done on his old cars, as well as his wit and his hard head. His performance over on CFOT reminded me of that scene in an old movie where Dennis Hopper is about to get tortured to death by mobsters in his trailer, so he goes into an ape-analogy-comparison and gets them so mad they lose their tempers and kill him instantly. Which is what he wanted. Yadkin has that kind of style. The long-boneyarded 'Barney Fife' line was a total jaw dropper and I knew when I read it, it would be fatal. After coming back from a 30 day ban, took Yaddie less than 6 hours to get the perma. That, IMO, is grit.

The best part of his schtick is when other people don't realize it's schtick and get all bent out of shape.

Schtick or no schtick, the annoyance remains constant. It wasn't funny in the beginning and it got UNfunnier.

Praising him while believing he's a douche-rocket, has a bit of entertainment value, but praising him while giving him a virtual hand-job is worse than watching two men kiss.

This is your own closeted homosexual projection. Has nothing to do with reality.
Your problem is you don't understand my humor and yet you still feel compelled to read my posts and whine about them, while injecting gay undertones.
Totally you. Not me.
If you don't like my posts, don't read them.
You remind me of the old farts who always order the same thing at a restaurant and complain that they are tired of it and it tastes bad.
Man up and just don't read my posts.

I believe posts like yours are the fuel that keeps GTO going, as he lives for beatdowns, and tries to come back even stronger.

His words from a post in this thread:

He needs to stop eating assburgers,,,

No he didn't know that. He didn't consult Yaddie for amateur advice.
