Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Tuesday, November 03, 2009

In a bad mood? Don't worry - according to research, it's good for you. An Australian psychology expert who has been studying emotions has found being grumpy makes us think more clearly. In contrast to those annoying happy types, miserable people are better at decision-making and less gullible, his experiments showed. While cheerfulness fosters creativity, gloominess breeds attentiveness and careful thinking, Professor Joe Forgas told Australian Science Magazine.

Oh Shit DOC I could have posted all those links for Manypaths to find as I was just busting his balls...

However since YOU posted them he will be pissed at you, good luck with that...

Now he will be more "miserable and less gullible" than he ever was...

Thanks DOC BTW it's not "Stoopid" it's "stupid"...

In normal written communication, yes, it's "stupid." But in this case...

1. stoopid
Having the quality of being really, really, really, stupid

Uhanks DOC BTW it's not "Stoopid" it's "stupid"...

Have a nice day time to go...

Well, if it wasn't for the honor of the thing I'd just as soon hope I'm not in the same league as Aflakabibblebabble. Although, I must admit I can produce a fair to middling rendition of "There'll Be A Hot Time In The Old Town Tonight" on my kazoo.

Funny...

I never knew DOC played the kazoo, I always wanted to just never had enough talent so I play the jug when the family gets together...
It can be hard too sometimes you have to drink it before any music can be made, then the next day it's hard to remember if you were any good at it the night before...

this has to be good for the left because they are always grumpy

but nothing like they will be starting today as the 'paradigm begins its inevitable shift today

In a bad mood?... In contrast to those annoying happy types, miserable people are better at decision-making and less gullible, his experiments showed....

I'm sure not one of those "annoying happy types" so I guess that makes me a wizz at decision-making and nobody's fool.

"In contrast to those annoying happy types, miserable people are better at decision-making and less gullible"

I don't believe that for a minute.

Mainly because I think that would make me indecisive and gullible.

But, I'm not sure.

Can't make up my mind if that fits me or not.

What?

The took the word gullible out of the dictionary?

Cool!

: )

Feeling grumpy 'is good for you'

However-what he didn't tell you....

getting a bj on a regular basis-as well as nooky, and having your lady "polish" your knob regularly-are even BETTER for you.

Grumpy is better for hating people. And people deserve to be hated. Hence, grumpy is good for you.

Cheerful people are embarrassing.

"Cheerful people are embarrassing."

How do you figure THAT????

It's just me, Lisa. What's to be cheerful about?

Oh, you got your Jesus, right :)

Bah Humbug. Wow, I is so much smarter now.

"Oh, you got your Jesus, right :)"

Yes I do!! : )

"What's to be cheerful about?"

Are you healthy?

Love someone? Does someone love you?? Got a roof over your head? Food on the table? Clothes to wear?

If so...you have a LOT to be cheerful about!!

Awesome grumpitude -

Gee I really wanna say something here but being a grumpy, clear-headed type of guy and the presence of one of those annoying happy types ditzy dames in this thread I won't

How does Grumpy feel about it? I bet Bashful.

" and the presence of one of those annoying happy types ditzy dames in this thread I won't"

Pfffft

"How does Grumpy feel about it? I bet Bashful."

I bet Sleepy

Those grumpy types are always depressed...makes them want to sleep.

Grumpy feels Sleepy after he feels Bashful; usually right after feeling a little Dopey

YEAH. I'm in a BAD fucking mood. Fuck me for ever chewing/smoking because quitting fucking sucks a never wiped kraut ASS.

6 days into it now and THIS SHIT BLOWS ONE HUNDRED YEAR OLD MAN!

So fuck all of you and I hope your Halloween sucked.

Lisa, bah humbug!

Check this out, a grumpy fish, the Black Musselcracker.

www.treknature.com

Large adults develop thick lips and a large fleshy "nose". The black musselcracker is a stocky fish with a heavy head and powerful jaws lined with rows of crushing teeth. They feed on crabs, crayfish, sea urchins and other large, hard shelled animals. Prey is first grabbed and held firmly by the conical teeth, before been crushed by the powerful grinding action of the stout jaws and molars.

Stay strong Wur,
I am two years in now. It does get easier. 6 days in, you are in for a tough ride still. If I did it, anyone can. Hang in there.

That's a fish???

It looks just like Gimme.

Kanrei, I was not thinking about the images produced by that creepy bastard WalDis but I came up with my username because I had lurked here for a long time and I thought grumpiness seemed to characterize the DR, so I said okay I'm grumpy also.

"I thought grumpiness seemed to characterize the DR,"

I know...that's true.

I never could figure out why so many people are so cranky so often!!

lol

I wish they'd find SOMETHING to be happy about..geesh!

Damn, Kan! I now believe in reincarnation, thanks to you! That thing looks like Jimmy Durante!

Hotchachacha!

Don't take this the wrong way, but I wasn't thinking about you at all Grumpy.

Damn, Kan! I now believe in reincarnation, thanks to you! That thing looks like Jimmy Durante!

What thing? I kept my pants on I swear!

LOL! That freakish fish. Black Musselcracker...what a name...

Aw, hell, I thought you'd posted the link to the fish, Kan...my bad...

Well,thanks to Grumpy_too...

Thanks Kanrei, thanks.

I hope you choke on dogshit. *I Jokes!*

"Thanks Kanrei, thanks.

I hope you choke on dogshit."

Don't be silly.

He puree's dogsh**.

Can't choke on it.

All gourmets do.

If you feel like starting back, just think of the tax money you're fucking the government out of everytime you DON'T buy a pack of smokes

Yeah. The funny thing about that is the f'nFeds plan future programs paid by taxed cigarettes that eventually won't be smoked.

That is way more fucked up than my current dilemma.

So now I don't care about the nicotine! I'm fucking in a BAD mood about our retarded Federal Government.

And he adds a little cinnamon to give it a very distinct flavor!

Nice Lisa! I love a running joke.

#46 | POSTED BY LISA

Choking on dog shit would be soooo much better than getting off the nicotine.

LOL

The price has kept me from returning lately. A friend told me that he paid $5 for a pack of Broncos! My old brand is 7.99 pretax.

Wurster, yes you are suffering but look at the bright side, a man in your position can suck on an excellent sausage instead of a ciggie.

Once you quit cigarettes, you really don't see any logic in keeping other drugs illegal. The worst ones with the worst effects are legal, the fun ones are not.

"Wurster, yes you are suffering but look at the bright side, a man in your position can suck on an excellent sausage instead of a ciggie."

Wurst? You're gay?

You're gay?

#56 | Posted by Lisa at 2009-11-03 10:12 PM |


You thought gay? I thought Grand Slam at Denny's, but I might just be hungry.

First thing that came to my mind....sadly.

lol

"The worst ones with the worst effects are legal, the fun ones are not."

Cognitive dissonance rules.

I can no longer tell when Zat is attacking anymore. I don't think he was, but I am not sure.

Wurst? You're gay?

Gay? No.

Gumby Too: Are you an old man? Grumpy horsehole is what you should call yourself. Honestly, a man in my position, (the quitting smoking and all,) gets a few blowjobs a day to keep my mind off the Cope/Winstons. The Wife is very pleased of my current endeavor.

Well good luck to you Wurst!!!

You can do it!!

And on that positive note...I'm heading to slumberland.

Have a wonderful evening, all.

Ciao!

Once you quit cigarettes, you really don't see any logic in keeping other drugs illegal. The worst ones with the worst effects are legal, the fun ones are not..

Hey tobakky is my daily drug of choice and I've always been in favor of all drugs (except for antibiotics) being legalized for adults. If you think things are bad now if we get a national health insurance the health Nazis will use that to ban/restrict a lot more than drugs.

Dammit, you make sausage! Right? !!!

I just quit smoking again a few days ago also. Might make it this time. I quit for three years before. But this time it has just kind of dropped off. I went and harvested a nice stash of rabbit tobacco in case I started going nuts but was kind of joking with myself with that.

Dammit, you make sausage! Right? !!!

You are right. The name says it all.

See, I'm not trying to be an asshole though it might come naturally.

A lot of smoking has to do with just the whole tactile habits of hand and mouth.

FUCK. If the FEDS want to get me on this, they can just ask RCADE for the IP address.

I WOULD NOT be able to quit my nicotine habit without the help of MARIJUANA. Pot. Dope. weed

Not that I wouldn't smoke it otherwise, but what a friend. Second only to the Wife and her support. I guess the pot goes third to my kids who chewed my ass every smoke for just smoking.

AND a shit load of beer and some whiskey, (only good whiskey.)

Right on, man! Roll it up! It is a good something to smoke and has added benefits. What does tobacco do for you? It is a bronchodilator (oddly enough) but it does not have any psychogenic effects other than satisfying the urge for itself, a closed circle of addiction with no side benefits.

Side benefits include certain social aspects. "Lets go have a smoke."

Side benefits also include drinking and smoking. Drinking and smoking is a good thing.

Poker and smoking. Smoke after sex. Smoke after work. Coffee and smoke, first thing in the morning.

This sucks ass. Kraut ass with hair.

If being grumpy is good for you, then last night's results in Virginia, New Jersey and Maine must have been absolutely terrific for my health.

Bah humbug.

RCADE... just think of what it'll do for your life expectancy. Remember "Grumpy Old Men?" Maybe being grumpy does extend your life after all.

Rcade just wait for 2010 your health will be even better...

Meh, it aint all bad at least that madman, Hoffman lost.

Be Well.

which is why grumpy has no place in politics or policy making or management.

Article explains my ex-wife....bitchy all the time and would remember every freakin' detail of anything I ever did that wasn't "right" in her sight.

And that she'd bring up out of the blue...she really needs (and needed ) serious meds.

Reminds me of a song....
