Now, we say “limited cognitive functioning.” I’m not going to say “intellectual disability.” You don’t get Aristotle and Aquinas jammed down your throat as much as we did and let someone get away with “intellectual disability.” Not without a fight.
Still. Might as well face it. I’m fucking retarded.
I’m watching Captain America. Got no idea what the fuck is going on. It’s like half over, and I still got no idea what’s going on.
I go to the kitchen to pour me a coffee. I pour half a cup right on my dick. Swear to God. I’m not fit to live.
I concentrate on the movie.
He’s like a super soldier. I get that.
It’s almost over. I think he’s still alive. He looks like all the others. Except for that stupid shield.
These Nazis keep chomping on cyanide in this movie. Where the hell do they get that stuff?
I hate being retarded.
I love Grover. You know what I mean. When Grover sees Kermit and says, “Hey, Froggy, Baby!” and comes running up and slugs the nuclear shit out of Kermit right on the back. I like that.
I can relate to that. Crap! I just used the word relate when I meant “understand.” I should be beaten with something made of iron.
I’m going to bed. But I’m going to pray first. Please, Lord, don’t let me wake up. Please let the dogs eat me in my sleep.
Thank you, Lord Jeezus, Amen.
I love you so much. Amen.

“Relate” is fine. It means something more than just understanding, There’s empathy and approval in it as well.

I’m being to hard on myself, aren’t I? Crap! I just said “aren’t I?”
I like pie.

I can relate to that.
I totally feel you Dude. Notice the clever avoidance of relate and understand. The movie ended like a true hero story should. Basically, if you don’t get screwed you aren’t a hero. He sacrificed, lost everything and didn’t get laid. The end. I think you can relate.
PS I’ll be your Grover.
Thank God I didn’t watch it.
We’re watching “Sesame Street” next.
Hilarious. What–you don’t like the bastardization of the language? I think it makes it colourful!

It’s a Catholic school thing.
“The intellect is the non-material faculty of the soul and therefore non-susceptible to limitations of the flesh. Therefore it cannot become ill or even die. Any appearance of infirmity derives from the material faculties of the soul such as the five senses or memory which seem to be susceptible to infirmity. However, the intellect, being non-material cannot be corrupt.”
Or something like that.
yeah, AS IF! Intellect likes a juicy new way to describe things.

Your kids had the best Grover puppet. We got so much fun out of that thing.
My least favorite recent PC term is differently-abled. We’re all fucking differently-abled. If we all did the same things with the same skill levels we’d either have no sports at all or we’d get no work done.

Lots of cripples call themselves “cripples.” Or “gimps.” It amuses them.
The whole captain america outfit is dumb! Dude sticks out like a sore thumb…. At least get a cammo shield?

I was thinking that same thing. Tessa said they did that movie just to get ready to bring all the super heroes together in a big movie. Waste of time, we both think. But Tessa watched it anyway. She has amazing movie-watching powers.
Don’t feel so bad, Fred. I’m a little emotionally, physically, and mentally challenged myself and it’s never held me back or gotten me eaten by dogs in my sleep. It won’t you either.

Yeah, I totally get the “relate” vs. “understand.” My pet peeve is people who say “utilize.” “Use” is a perfectly fine word and doesn’t sound nearly as presumptuous.
Crap, I said “presumptuous.”

And then you get to wake in the morning and do it all over again. But then again it just might all be brilliant. Maybe skip Captain America but never Grover!
