My style is humor and intelligence. Both go a lot further than humorlessness and stupidity. When someone dives in squawking and cr@pping, you have to laugh. It really is kind of pathetic. It's like one of those yappy dogs that you could squish with you boot but it just too pathetic to waste the time with. I was out biking a few months back and came upon a rattlesnake about 11 inches long. It was so cute. It didn't have a rattle yet, but otherwise looked just like a big one. They are venomous so you have to keep a little distance but I got up real close and looked at it. It coiled up and was acting out the "I am a rattlesnake, stay away!" program - they are hard-wired for this. It was like a 1/6 scale model. I don't think rattlesnakes have a lot of choice about who they are. It is in their genes. Neither do sea gulls who imagine themselves to be stately eagles. It is in their genes to squawk and poop. That's just what they are - squawking poop machines. So we should really take delight in these aspects of their creation. What would the world be like without them? Something has to eat the dead stuff that floats on the ocean, washes up on shore or, heck, even the bits of food wedged between used diapers in the garbage dump. See, the world is a beautiful place. Hey, good trading to you too. I'm pleased with my bottom fishing from a few months back, by and large. See, I'm a seagull too sometimes, but I try to poop discreetly.
