Win Friends and Blah, Blah, Blah.... [8/1]

[dr-snark.livejournal.com]

Dr. Cox is very busy watching his soaps on his portable TV set.

On the blackboard is written:

READ THE HANDOUT AND DO THE EXERCISE

INTERRUPT PASSIONS AND SOMEONE WILL BE HEADING TO DETENTION


Taunting: expressing contempt or ridicule by verbal abuse.

Oh sure, you whiny babies might think it's mean and cruel. So what? Life sucks. Wear a helmet.

Taunting is a useful tool in your armament against the soulless devils out there who are trying to suck you down into mediocrity. It's effective in that it will often get your point across to the dimwits that be and can be darn fun at the same time.

Your assignment: Get a partner and taunt them in order to make them understand how you are right and they are wrong.

Okay, he was bad at basketball but not that bad.

"The reason I play as badly as your grandmother is because she was blinded when she first laid eyes on you."

Re: Taunt one another

Tyler wondered if John knew he had just admitted he played badly.

"At least my grandmother saw me, 'cause my mom wasn't so ashamed of me she threw me in the trash like yours did."

"Yes, I was so sorry to disturb your mother's home," John retorts. "That metal can of her was decorated very nicely."

Re: Taunt one another

Tyler was trying not to laugh at that one. "You would know, I understand your family are all trash can connoisseurs."

"And that's what made us our millions," John replies. "I'll throw a little money at you when you're broke and dancing for money."

Re: Taunt one another

[tyler-gone.livejournal.com]

Tyler inclined his head to indicate Aeryn. "Is that how you got her to go out with you? Money explains so much."

Re: Taunt one another

Oooh, good one.

"Nah, she thinks I'm a stud," John says even though he's never used that word before. "Studly Crichton. What's your nickname? Shrimpy Lulu?"

Re: Taunt one another

[tyler-gone.livejournal.com]

And now Tyler was actually biting his lips to keep from laughing. "I heard they call you Shrimpy Lulu," he said. "You know, when you hang out on the docks."

Re: Taunt one another

John tries to look particularly offended. It probably doesn't work.

"I hear you're shrimpy in important places!"

Re: Taunt one another

[tyler-gone.livejournal.com]

Tyler raised an eyebrow, quickly stifling a giggle. "You spend a lot of time thinking about important places on other guys? Really, tell me more."

Re: Taunt one another

Gah. He'd walked right into that one.

"Well...it's easy to do when it's...splashed all over the bathroom walls. So many unsatisfied girls."

Re: Taunt one another

[tyler-gone.livejournal.com]

Tyler tried to look very serious, but failed utterly. He snickered. "Nice work, man. You finally learned to read."

Re: Taunt one another

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

John goes for mock outrage this time. It works well enough.

"And write," John announces. "Which is more than I can say for you. The Cat in the Hat is not serious literature."

Re: Taunt one another

[tyler-gone.livejournal.com]

The mock outrage makes Tyler completely dissolve into laughter. "Cat in the Hat," he repeated, between snorts. "Good one."

He held up his hand for a high-five. "We rock at taunting."

Re: Taunt one another

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

John slaps Tyler's hand and lapses into laughter as well.

"I totally walked into the Shrimpy thing. Nice call."

Re: Taunt one another

[tyler-gone.livejournal.com]

"But you did a nice job with the trash can thing," Tyler told John. "This was fun."

Re: Taunt one another

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"It was," John agreed. "Nothing too bad about having some fun with taunting."
