@jolly sock has foundered on the koolaide...

And you know the remedy for a jack ass that has foundered.....

Larry,
Are you saying you want to kill another member of this forum, shoot them as you would a lame animal?

@george-k

Seems like a genuine resignation, but well timed.
Love your Zantac comment

He didn't say that.

But it's nice to see you following him around, like an English bulldog on a leash.

I think I’ve read every interpretation of why Barr resigned. The only thing that struck me is that literally anyone could pick their favorite reason and start the viral spread and sit back and wait and hope they got enough dopamine hits.

Barr blows:

ETA: Just a reminder, I never said that Barr was a "gentleman."

I really like that guy.

Bagpipes, the liver of instruments. You either love it or hate it. Personally I love it. It stirs my soul.

I knew you were a sissy, but I didn't know until this moment that you are retarded too.

I really wonder about the timing.

I mean, 5 weeks more? How does that make a difference, other than to decrease his Zantac consumption?

Perhaps he had enough of a petulant septuagenarian's ~~daily~~ hourly temper tantrums?

Mik · 16 Dec 2020, 01:16

Maybe he in fact did not want to be bothered with all this through Christmas. He knew what he was getting into when he took the position, and I think he did an admirable job. But at some point the game is over and its time to go home.

Sometimes a cigar is just a smoke.

I agree. He may or may not have a current good relation with President Trump. But, there is only a month left, so why not take some time off.

A manager at one of the places I worked finished his last day before retirement, after about 20 years, by saying 'I'm just popping out for lunch', and then never coming back. He didn't tell anybody he was retiring, he just left at lunchtime.

A certain Russian colleague of repute has a photograph of the guy's gravestone in his drawer. He says it's to remind himself that the guy is really dead. It's fair to say he wasn't overly popular.

An orthopedic surgeon with whom I used to work did pretty much the same thing. He showed up for his scheduled cases and said, "You won't be seeing me any more. I'm closing up shop." And never crossed the threshold to the OR again.

This guy didn't tell anybody other than his immediate manager he was leaving - and he ran one of the groups. Old school management style. That's Old School with a capital Asshole.

I see you're making progress with your education, you've obviously taken the advice given elsewhere and got your thesaurus out to learn a few new and more colourful words.
Well done Larry. Keep it up. Every little helps.

Jolly, you appear to know what Larry was saying, and I'd be grateful for your explanation

Jolly · A AndyD 16 Dec 2020, 06:15

@andyd Two things:

If a horse or mule founders, the very first course of action is not to shoot them, although shooting may or may not have to be done.
I don't even think Larry owns a gun. Which is unusual in the American South. I'd worry a lot more about me. I think I have one or two around the house.

I did that.

After 29 years with EDS/Perot.

I cleaned out my desk one afternoon. The next day I told the boss I was done, and I went home.

I only planned it a few hours ahead, really. It was no big deal. I was just done. I was on good terms with everyone, a good way to leave it.

A few days later I wandered over to the airport to find out how to become a pilot.
