All things SoP

[HairOnFire]

Finally, instead of realizing that investing time and emotional energy into something you detest is immersing you in sea of gloom and pessimism, you find relief by going to a mommy website and discussing diapering techniques with moms who don't realize you're some crusty 55-year-old repressed Steeler fan.

Diapering techniques may be discussed in other threads. The Google link I followed took me to a MomsLikeMe.com thread started by a mother looking for a facility where she could get help for her out of control 14-year old son. After a dozen posts or so Bearcat1975 chimes in with a mocking post about bad mothers who send their children to crime school. Then, in a later post he offers a few suggestions about the types of things that should be sent along with the child....for use as jailhouse currency.

That's as much as I read, and I admit the subject matter is completely different, but the snarky know-it-all cadence and delivery was familiar enough to confirm all I was there to find out. That being....

Yup.

It's our boy.

Sometimes when you post too many times in a row, I get the two sites confused.

Sometimes when you post too many times in a row, I get the two sites confused.

MamaBear, perhaps this handy reminder will help.

This is Bengalzone, a messageboard where you ignorantly yet arrogantly offer your opinions on a subject matter you have absolutely no knowledge of. By comparison, the OTHER website you frequent is MomsLikeMe.com, a messageboard where you ignorantly yet arrogantly offer your opinions on a DIFFERENT subject matter you have absolutely no knowledge of.

Well, that wasn't as helpful as I hoped. So how about this one?

Whenever you're about to hit send and post some brilliant insight only you can offer, ask yourself a simple question. Are you, MamaBear, on a website where your vast experience as a mother will be respected and taken seriously OR are you instead on the Bengalzone, a slightly saltier environment where posters like HairOnFire will make fun of your vagina?

Once you've answered that question....post as apropriate.

Or even better, don't.

I think I would have made all efforts to deny that you posted on that site as opposed to admiting to it.

A man giving his thoughts in reference help from a mothers perspective on a site called, "MomsLikeMe.com" is quite possibly the most amusing thing I've seen on this site. It's combination of sad and pathetic have reached such epic proportions, I'm not sure it could ever be topped.

Way to go ?!?!?

That site is a subforum of cincinnati.com

If you read the response, I was trying to talk a mother out of sending her kid to a military school, because I know what military schools are, having gone to one myself.

"Sad and pathetic" is thinking that the Bengals are good to go.

"Sad and Pathetic" is doing a search for "Bearcat1975".

Oh, and your quote

I think I would have made all efforts to deny that you posted on that site as opposed to admiting to it.

Difference between you and me is I am not a liar, whereas that seems to be an early goto for you. Of course, you lie to yourself every year about the Bengals, so who knows what other delusions you have running around up there. I don't even want to know.

But you are no HOF, I'll give you that. That dude is FLAMING. If I ever want to do a search for HOF I'd probably start with the bathhouses in San Francisco.

I could care less if it's a subforum or not, what the hell are you doing on a site for moms ?? The thing was, she wasn't looking for YOUR help, she was looking for help from other mothers. You know because it's a site called, "momslikeme.com" or did you happen to miss that part or the one where she said you don't have a f*cking clue ?? I've never said the Bengals are good to go, only that they should and more than likely will be "improved". My thought of improved is 8-8 where yours is 6-10. While both do in fact equal improved over the 4-11-1 record from the year before, mine is slightly more optimistic, but not calling for the Super Bowl by any stretch, but you go ahead and keep thinking somehow a call for 8-8 means going to the Super Bowl. Nice job. I didn't do the initial search for your name, but AS I ALREADY STATED, found it horribly amusing that not only you went and posted on a site for mothers, you actually came back here to defend your stance. That is even more pathetic than I originally thought, so good job in topping the most pathetic thing I've ever seen posted here yet again.

YOU calling anyone here a liar is amusing at best, but once again, goes directly into the line of pathetic. Sad part for you is you seem to have forgotten the NUMEROUS times other members on this very site have posted the exact times you have lied and or at a minimum have bent the words of someone to your own pessimistic viewpoint.

As for Hair, I suggest you take up your opinion of him with him as opposed to trying to find someone who will follow your thoughts and bash away between themselves. He's also a poster on this site that, while you may not agree with, is very informed about the team and happens to be one of those to call out bullsh*t when he sees it. You just happen to be the bullsh*t he's calling these days. What does it say to you that NO ONE on this board disagrees with him in that opinion ??

[BengalByTheBay]

WAIT A MINUTE...I come back from a leisurely 4th and find out that BearCat actually does have a vagina and enjoys misleading poor fed-up moms on other websites??? If I had more energy, I'd go over there and put him on ignore just out of inertia. (BTW - Is anyone else not surprised that BC had a bad experience in military school? *shudder*)

Not really surprised. I think it had something to do with the "Don't ask, don't tell" policy.

[HairOnFire]

Obviously he's pretending to be a mom, and in the role of pretend mother he can then offer others the wisdom he's gained from raising his own pretend children. Why would anyone think something like that was dishonest?

The thing was, she wasn't looking for YOUR help, she was looking for help from other mothers. You know because it's a site called, "momslikeme.com" or did you happen to miss that part....

True, but Bearcat knows only he/she has the wisdom needed to give advice in all matters regardless of whether they involve troubled teens or offensive lineman. And there's the rub because the knowledge that Bearcat has is so unique and valuable it simply must be spread by any means, including blatant dishonesty.....which we've all witnessed Bearcat doing on this board on numerous occasions.

YOU calling anyone here a liar is amusing at best, but once again, goes directly into the line of pathetic. Sad part for you is you seem to have forgotten the NUMEROUS times other members on this very site have posted the exact times you have lied and or at a minimum have bent the words of someone to your own pessimistic viewpoint.

BearCat lies. Granted, we already knew that, but now we know for certain what most of us already suspected. That being, in matters big or small, important or trivial, there simply isn't anything that can be discussed that Bearcat won't lie about.

As for Hair, I suggest you take up your opinion of him with him.....

Maybe he'll Google me.

He's also a poster on this site that, while you may not agree with, is very informed about the team and happens to be one of those to call out bullsh*t when he sees it. You just happen to be the bullsh*t he's calling these days.

True enough, but I may have to start pulling my punches now that I've learned Bearcat isn't the internet tough he pretends to be and in reality is either someones mother OR more likely....the exact same type of pimple faced troubled teen being discussed at MomsLikeMe.com

[HairOnFire]

If you read the response, I was trying to talk a mother out of sending her kid to a military school, because I know what military schools are, having gone to one myself.

So you were just speaking from your own experience when you wrote about a mother so inept she not only couldn't control a little dink like you, but also made the additional mistake of bagging up your Ritilan, Paxil, and pimple cream before sending you off to crime...errr....military school? And the only reason you're harrassing that mother on MomsLikeMe.com is because you don't want to see her make the same mistake your own mother made with you, right? Because if she does her own troubled teen might end up as a habitual liar like you did, ehh?

Well, okay then.

Good call.

Stop the internet, I want to get off. So to speak.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that the internet has already caught on. Just a wild guess, though...

[HairOnFire]

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that the internet has already caught on.

Of course it has. After all, on a certain level the internet may be nothing but a series of tubes, but it's also a weird and wonderful place where any one can be anything they want to be....just by pretending. For example, where else could a troubled 14-year old boy so easily explore his rather UNUSUAL desire to be a mother?

Happily, on the internet that same 14-year old boy can not only pretend to be a mother, but because he can remain anonymous...can actually offer parenting advice to real mothers. And how great is that? Think of the fresh opinions and unique outlook that can be gained simply by allowing the unqualified to offer advice?

Sadly, reality can be harsh. Because in the real world, a whining teenage boy like Bearcat would be promptly and perhaps unfairly be ignored the very moment he offered his baseless opinions on how to get a toddler to eat solid foods. Or for that matter, whether Kyle Cook could adequately handle the starting center position.

So, he's 14, huh? That explains a lot.

[HairOnFire]

Well, I'm just guessing his age based upon the level of maturity found in his posts, and his habit of rushing to the defense of troubled pimply faced 14-year olds on MomsLikeMe.com

Truth be told, what do any of us really know about Bearcat? Isn't it just as likely he's actually a 35 year-old unwed mother of three?

My money is on run of the mill a**h*** who has gotten his ass kicked a few too many times, and thus turns to the Internet.

Either that, or he's kind of like Milton from the movie Office Space... and he blows off steam on the Internet as opposed to lighting his workplace on fire.

My only question for him is that if he really went to military camp (I call bulls**t), then why is he so opposed to others going? Is he afraid they'll turn out like him?

Oh... Point taken.

[TJJackson]

Does he have any tips on breastfeeding?

Err, from the "giver" rather than "receiver" side of matters?

[HairOnFire]

My only question for him is that if he really went to military camp (I call bulls**t), then why is he so opposed to others going?

I think he gave us a clue when he wrote about the need to send with the child numerous items that can be used as "jailhouse currency"

The implication is clear. As a newer cadet Bearcat was likely subjected to numerous indignities that he wasn't able to buy his way out of due to his mother failing to provide the much needed trade objects Bearcat writes about with such bitterness. Those items, be they cigarettes, prescription drugs, or heated hair curlers might have been used by Bearcat to escape the blanket parties and violent shower rapes so often seen in movies about military academies. In fact, I believe the years and years of shower rapes were almost certainly the trigger point that eventually led to Bearcats odd fantasies about motherhood.

Sadly, Bearcats mother was no smarter than he seems to be, and apparently didn't know about things like "jailhouse currency". As a result she left her "troubled" son in a dire position where he was unable to properly protect his treasured poop pipe.

Furthermore, if my theories are correct, after being raped again and again and again and again Bearcat mentally escaped inwardly...eventually hiding behind fantasies that included having a comfy vagina of his very own, rather than his now tattered and abused butt flesh.

That has to be one of the more disturbing posts I've ever read.

[HairOnFire]

That has to be one of the more disturbing posts I've ever read.

And yet, my noodlings about what prompted Bearcat to have mommy fantasies is in fact more than plausable. Because what other explanation could there be?

Oh sure, Shank thinks it's just a case of the kid being beaten up too often, but how many boys or men get daily beatings, yet unlike Bearcat.....never begin fantasizing about having a vagina or giving birth?

No, it's got to be a deeper darker secret than simply getting your beat up once too often....and knowing Bearcat it's probably related to him being raped in the shower.

At least I hope so.

The problem I have with your scenario is that it gives credence to bearcat's claim that he did in fact attend military school. we know he's a liar, and since I work with troubled teens for a living it is in my nature to reject that a product as pathetic as bearcat could be turned out as a result of my current line of work. So how about this...

I don't want to give him much credit as to give excuses for his personality. It seems to me that he's just a standard Internet a**h*** who makes up for his lack of personality by attempting to be an Internet thug.

To explain his deep seated issues that would cause his deviant Internet browsing behavior? Hmm... Well in keeping with pretending to be a mom, let's say he was born with ambiguous gentalia.
