I Disagree With You, So You Must Be Murderous
Posted by Frank J. at 08:22 AM | View blog reactions | Comments (103)

I've gotten lots of neat things from my readers, but, for the first time, I've gotten free psychological advice sent in by an E. Harrington:

You are a really SICK individual, and you are suffering from at least one diagnosable psychiatric illness judging only from your writings- narcissistic personality disorder. The same disorder that Saddam Hussein, Adolf Hitler, and many serial killers such as Ted Bundy had.

This is not about politics here. It's about your mental illness.
You, sir, are a natural born killer.

An e-mail that helpful can't go without a response:

Kick ass! I've never been called a natural born killer before. I once thought of joining the Marines, but decided against it since boot camp looked hard.

Oh, and I think "This is not about politics here. It's about your mental illness." might work better as one sentence with the two thoughts separated by a semicolon. That's just a stylistic thing, so take it or leave it.

Anyway, thanks for the free psychological advice; I know that can usually cost tons of money (notice the semicolon; works well, huh?). The problem is I often get e-mails from crackpots, so - and I hope you don't take any offense - I had to check on your claim. I happen to have a DSM-IV from when I took Abnormal Psychology in college, and, lo and behold, here's entry 301.81:

Narcissistic Personality Disorder

A pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), need for admiration, and lack of empathy, beginning in early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by five (or more) of the following:

So you didn't make it up. Now, there's a list of nine symptoms, and I have to check if I fit at least five of them. Let's take a look-see:

(1) has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g. exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements)

Here's my problem: what are "commensurate achievements"? I think I've done plenty to be recognized as superior. If someone doesn't recognize me as superior from the work on my website, then he or she has to be pretty stupid.

(2) is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, and ideal love

Preoccupied with fantasies? I call that having ambition.

(3) believes that he or she is "special" and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions)

Well I am special; my mom told me so. And I can only be understood by other special people... those being my readers.

(4) require excessive admiration

I don't know if I require it, since I've always had admiration. But what's excessive? I mean, it's usually just people recognizing the fact that I'm superior which seems apropos.

(5) has a sense of entitlement, i.e., unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations

People should do as I say because I'm smarter than them; that's just logical.

(6) is interpersonally exploitative, i.e., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends

Isn't that why others exist?

(7) lacks empathy: is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others

Screw others; they're not me.

(8) is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her

I'm not jealous of anyone... especially not that talentless Scrappleface who get more traffic than me. And why is believing others are envious of you bad when it is true? I am a comic genius; of course others are envious.

(9) show arrogant or haughty behaviors or attitudes

I'm not even going to dignify that with a response.

The only thing is I don't see the murderousness in that disorder that you seem to imply is there. Hmm...

Anyway, while the DSM-IV loves to point out problems, it's not big on solutions. Like, let's say I do have a narcissistic personality disorder; can I take anti-narcissism pills for that? And is that enough to qualify me as insane to get away with murder?

"For killing eight people, Frank J., I sentence you to one week of therapy to make you less self-absorbed."

And does it qualify as a disability?

"I'm narcissistic; give me free money!"

That's what I need to know E. Harrington. Anymore psychological advice would be appreciated, you lowly maggot who is beneath my contempt (that's the narcissism talking, so ignore that).

Cordially,
Frank J.

So, do I seem narcissistic to you guys? (say no or I'll murder you)

As a narcissit myself ("For I am the lord thy Bob and thou shalt have no other BOb before me.") I have to agree that you qualify.

The mass murderer thing is usually associated with anit-social personality disorder or some of those fanatical religious dillusions.

No!

**monotone*
Frank is great. Frank is our leader. Frank is our intellectual superior. Frank is a genius. Frank knows the best way to live. We all should pattern our lives after Frank's teachings.

ooooo, yummy, Frank made a special Kool-Aid for all us.


Hey Frank, are you sure you don't want a glass of this.....**ack** **ack**....

**Thud**

Personally, I wish we had cool Star Trek transporters, so that you could transport to his lair, beat him with a rusty shovel, then transport back, 'cause its gotta be a long way to walk and you probally have to go to work in the morning....
Heck with him, he can get his own cool transporter...

No Frank, you do not have NPD. However, after reading those symptoms I have to conclude that Bill Clinton does!

#5 - Posted by: Former Hostage on February 12, 2004 09:04 AM

You are certainly no more self-absorbed than any other talented person. Natural born killer, though. WOW!

Is Oliver Stone going to do a movie about your life? Since he's somewhat of a Commie conspirator, could you accidently discharge a real round in his direction during filming. Just call it an equipment malfunction. That and you have that psychological disorder thing going.

#6 - Posted by: sleeper on February 12, 2004 09:08 AM

I think the main treatment for Narcissistic Personality Disorder is plenty of blended puppy shakes.

#7 - Posted by: Rabbi M. on February 12, 2004 09:10 AM

Yes, Mr. Harrington is right. You really SHOULD be more humble. Use me, the Emperor of All of the Universe, Hammer of Idiotarians and Defender of the Clue, as an example of true humility.

Alternatively, we could get together, track Mr. Harrington down, shove the entire DSM-IV up his ass and set it on fire.

Yup, that sounds like fun.

"Humility is for those who have a reason to be."

#10 - Posted by: on February 12, 2004 09:37 AM

I don't know about mass-murdering, but the description of the disorder sounds to me like the public school system is encouraging every child (none left behind, after all) to develop their own personal case of NPD. I personally think it's all a part of their plan to make sure that everyone in the country has some claim to a disability, so no one has to work and everyone is on the dole.

It goes without saying that, in your case, any narcissism is purely a result of your greatnes. [/apple-polishing]

#11 - Posted by: Steve Gigl on February 12, 2004 09:52 AM

Frank,

Not to interrupt your self-examination, there's some troll under the moniker "Pastrami Sandwich" filling up the comments on your other ports with Britney Spears porn keywords.

#12 - Posted by: Starshatterer on February 12, 2004 10:03 AM

Starshatterer, I just KNOW that you didn't get here by searching for Britney Spears porn keywords, now did you?

Frank, is there a disorder called FTRSD by any chance? Failure To Recognize Satire Disorder? Would the cure happen to be "be a victim of a misdiagnosed narcissistic natural born killer"?

#13 - Posted by: Squirrel on February 12, 2004 10:09 AM

nope

#14 - Posted by: gibsonrlz on February 12, 2004 10:21 AM

Frank J, you are not narcissistic. I state this as fact. You may stop trying to murder me now. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

#15 - Posted by: BeckoningChasm on February 12, 2004 10:21 AM

"And does it qualify as a disability?

"I'm narcissistic; give me free money!""

I smell a Random Quote. That's a WTM, Frank. And there is nothing wrong with being narcissistic (sp?) if you believe you deserve it.

#16 - Posted by: The Vigilante on February 12, 2004 10:33 AM

Whoa, talk about Major Humor Impairment! Your sworn enemy, Dave Barry, talked about Closed Captioning for the Humor Impaired several years ago. Maybe you can do that, or just shoot them. Whichever you prefer.
Marcissistic? You? Nooo!

That was one of the funniest things I've read in a while. Well, since the last IMY installment anyway. What's taking you so long, you narcissistic bast..., err, comic genius?

[whimper]Please don't kill me...[/whimper]

#20 - Posted by: Ken on February 12, 2004 11:01 AM

Nope

(5) has a sense of entitlement, i.e., unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations

People should do as I say because I'm smarter than them; that's just logical.

However (unfortunately), that's also very Liberal.

#21 - Posted by: No-WereMan on February 12, 2004 11:05 AM

No Frank, sure you are not narcissic, because you fear to see you having to fight a monkey. Not being narcissic does not mean you are not sick anyway, and still is the fact that you have a sick praise of yourself at the point that your lies are your everyday value to justify the obsession you have to not be wrong.

Also you are often wrong anyway.

You are not either a mass murderer, but you are a selfish bitch for who the money makes the ideology. You are also a manipulator, and here again a liar. You pretend to defend things that you do not care about, because lastly the little hole you have on your ass is always the last place where you have your thumb.

As you said, once you wanted to be a marine, but you are too funny for that. Your comrades would die of distraction from you. The most difficult thing that you cannot complete is to be serious at once, make the difference between the fiction and the real life as it is. You are a monkey, writing for peanuts, which lastly is what you won.

You know how to make the story ridiculous and funny, but you know also how to make it disgusting.

Anyway, satires and opinions are making one world. Take it for the fun it is, and don't get berserk about that.

Except if you work for democrats conspiracies, then you can get berserk about all this.
You titles:
"How Kerry could win ?"
"How Bush could loose ?"

That's what you call being a support to Bush. When someone is as intolerant as you, making money on the low value of his fun, there should be rules for the confusion between the politic and the fun to be less efficient. Everyday, we see Bush making efforts to not shock the electorate, be tolerant, open mind, listen and correct himself. It's difficult to imagine IMAO as a representation of Bush, because if one wants to learn about the campaign, you do not represent anything at all except the disgust that you inspire.

A leftist factory. That's all what you are, and this is more important than your narcissic illness.

#22 - Posted by: Amphitryon on February 12, 2004 11:05 AM

Frank

You are not Narcissistic. I always figured it was a part of your humor (being sarcastic, as I do all the time).

#23 - Posted by: Shockwave on February 12, 2004 11:21 AM

Could someone take Amphitryon aside and explain the whole "humor" thing to him. I don't think he's getting it.
Though I gotta admit, Frank J being a "leftist factory" is funny at a level approaching the In My Own World series. Not quite theres though.

#24 - Posted by: Victor of the Apes on February 12, 2004 11:53 AM

Is it just me, or is every Amphitryon post sort of like reading D.H. Lawrence while drinking bourbon through a funnel?

Er, not that I'd know, of course.

#26 - Posted by: Simon Jester on February 12, 2004 12:00 PM

Sounds to me like the words of someone who is easily intimidated and takes things way too seriously. It would be difficult (to say the least) to be truly funny without a good deal of confidence; dramatic overconfidence can push the humor over the top (whether real or performed). Some people really just don’t get it, and that’s just too bad for them. They really are missing out. Narcissistic? I tend to think not, that it is an act to some degree. But then, I don’t really know you, do I? Whatever, as long as you keep dishing out the funny.

#27 - Posted by: Cpt.Dysentery on February 12, 2004 12:00 PM

I believe Amphitryon may have had his lunch money stolen one too many times.

#28 - Posted by: jonag on February 12, 2004 12:01 PM

Amphitryon's comment that you are a leftist factory strike me as being in the same vein as that link you got to an IMW because some leftist site thought it was an accurate portrayal of Rumsfeld.
Amphitryon's train of thought has obviously been derailed.

#29 - Posted by: SSG B on February 12, 2004 12:03 PM

Oooh, read Amphytron's post with Hannibal Lechter's lilting-gay monotone... [/cold shudder] I don't think I'll be able to sleep for a week!

Hey, look at that. There are supposed to be rules for satire. Who knew?

#33 - Posted by: Dave in Texas on February 12, 2004 12:19 PM

If you're "narcissistic", does that make Harrington "selfless" and "altruistic"? I guess I need to recheck my vocabulary definitions.

I don't think you're narcissitic. Then again, if narcissism is what it takes to write like you do, then Harrington and Amphytron need to "stop caring so much about others" and get some lessons in humor-- I mean, narcissism.

#34 - Posted by: Asi on February 12, 2004 12:22 PM

I make the rules! I am God here!

#35 - Posted by: Frank J. on February 12, 2004 12:24 PM

To paraphrase my other hero, Butthead, "Until I found this site, I didn't realise anyone could kick this much ass."

Course Butthead was talkin about a pyrophillic video, but the sentiment still stands.

#36 - Posted by: Sticky B on February 12, 2004 12:27 PM

That has to be the funniest thing I've ever seen. I don't normally laugh out loud when reading funny stuff... but that time I really did! Really! I've never even done that with Dave Barry! Ok, maybe with Dave Barry, but not often!

Oh hey! Armpithydrant is back! :waves:

#37 - Posted by: Jewels~of~the~Jungle on February 12, 2004 12:49 PM

Frank, just remember the words uttered in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer,"

"kill him a lot..."

#38 - Posted by: Xenophobe on February 12, 2004 12:53 PM

Frank, who is Harrington ? Aren't you the one who to answer the "praise of yourself" statement have created the Harrington person. So you are the one who call yourself narcissistic. The point is still that you are a manipulator, that when you know you are wrong or when you don't know to answer, you create your world of absurdity.

Accordingly to the number of people who call me man, it seems that the flow of your readers is continuously changing. You have adapted to your satire, and you have acquired a lot of haters, for the benefit of Emperor Misha of course, who is the only God in here.

Emperor Misha reminds me of Landru, the serial killer, who believed he also that he could state on the right to live or die of the others. I mean women. Most victims on IMAO are women. There are always arguments for Frank to make satires on them. As you wrote once about the "women you could not respect". Know Frank that most women do not expect to be respected from you, because it would mean to become so nasty, that real conflicts are better than friendship.

Except Susie of course, but Susie is fond of gigolos.

Nasty, that is what you are, because there is always a part of sexism into your fun.

#41 - Posted by: Sarah on February 12, 2004 01:11 PM

BTW, Frank, what is the relation between "I Disagree With You" and "This is not about politics here. It's about your mental illness."

#42 - Posted by: Amphitryon on February 12, 2004 01:15 PM

Right! Of course; Harrington is part of a JOOOOOO plot to... ack. I can't write like a DU poster, it makes my brain hurt to be that foolish.

Amphitryon, if Frank's stuff is so 'bad', why don't you stop reading it? Other people read it and enjoy it. You don't have to. Allah on a pogo stick, nobody's forcing you to load the web page... unless there's a conspiracy by neocon agents from Mars. ;p

#46 - Posted by: mikey on February 12, 2004 01:40 PM

mikey,
I think I'm going to have to add that quote to my sidebar.

#47 - Posted by: Frank J. on February 12, 2004 01:49 PM

Jon, I have more fun to write on Frank's blog than mine. For the moment.

When I write on mine, people complain about my spelling on Frank's blog. So the thing is better like this. I write on Frank's blog, and when I'll have something intelligent to write, I'll write on mine.

There is nothing more funny than making Frank's portrait, because in the category mazo, he is the king.

How did you say Frank ?
Oh yeah. Knight.

Frank, the knight of political mazochism.
For drawers, don't forget to keep the zip open. Frank never closes his... in case there would be some stuff on the mattress.

"Just a gigolo, and everywhere...la..la..."

#48 - Posted by: Amphitryon on February 12, 2004 01:50 PM

Actually, there is a relation between "I Disagree With You" and "This is not about politics here. It's about your mental illness."

Frank seems to be saying that Harrington's assertion is the equivalent of this statement: "I disagree with everything you say - politically - so I'm going to attack you on a personal level."

Obviously the relation is there. A semicolon would be very appropriate - even with the additional hypothetical sentence - because the pronoun "it" is referring to the same (understood) antecedent - which is "this blog." Which is to say something of this sort:

*Contents of Frank's blog entry blahblahblah*
*Comment from Harrington with hypothetical sentence included:
"I disagree with you, Frank. Your political idealogy is completely off base. This blog isn't about politics; it's about your mental illness."*

I'm sure, Amphitryon, you'll say, "That's not what I was getting at. I KNOW all of that!" I know this because for some unknown/undetectable reason you feel like you are intellectually superior. Perhaps you should go diagram some practice sentences before you decide to further dissect the writing of another. Don't forget to get some of the more complex compound sentences in there. Cognitive processes of that nature seems to be your downfall.

#49 - Posted by: Sarah on February 12, 2004 01:54 PM

Yes. You are a narcissistic wack-job, but whenever you get too twisted in your narcissim, you reel us back in by making us laugh. So it's all good.

#50 - Posted by: Bill on February 12, 2004 02:02 PM

Sarah, my feeling is that I have lost a lot of precious time on AIM with Frank, and I consider that his abuse of my time need some correction. Take it or analyze it as you want, you will never be me and I will never be you, and that's fine like this.

If Frank wants to express some kind of thoughts about the actuality, my suggestion is that he writes it himself, so me also I can have fun, and precisely, on IMAO to take back the time I have lost on AIM. I am not native English, people feel hard to understand me, but as I am not obliged to read IMAO, no one is obliged to read my comments. I only consider in here that the arrogance of some people about their superiority of language does not oblige me to not write.

And to answer to you Sarah, the one who tries to be superior in some way is the one who pretends to explain something scientifically while everything here is all about fun.

Hum, what did you say about the dissection of the writing of an other. Except Frank, and he precisely knows the reasons why, I don't have dissected the words of anyone else.

Pissing off everyone here is part of the fun. Isn't it ?

You're welcome Sarah, and be carefull about Frank. He's got the zip code easy to match up, but if you don't follow, he will argue on your money.

You know "see a penny, pick it up and all day long you'll have good luck". Frank has an orthography weakness about the penny, and always try to give the change.

#54 - Posted by: Amphitryon on February 12, 2004 02:25 PM

What I want to know is, what did I ever do to Amphitryon to tick her off?
Oh, and Frank, I thought she reported you to the FCC and the FBI and the FTC and the CIA for sending thought waves and crashing her computer or something. How did that turn out?

#56 - Posted by: Amphitryon on February 12, 2004 02:26 PM

Frank ought to know better than to ask me for money. I don't have any. And no, it's not because of the struggling economy. It's because my boss is a cheapskate. ..sigh.

#57 - Posted by: Sarah on February 12, 2004 02:29 PM

Sweet I have Narcissistic Personality Disorder, thats totaly rocking. I was getting tired of being dignosed with Discraphia/Dislexia.
-- Funny Story --
When I was a youngen my parents took me to the local child theripist because they really didn't know if I was completely "Right". They placed me in a room with lots of toys to observe me threw the one-way window. From years of watching PBS (no history channel at the time) I knew they where watching me threw the one-way window. So being evil, instead of playing with the toys, I took out all the light bulbs from the lamps in the room, and drew smiliy faces on them then, and buried them in the sand box (does any one else here think a sand box in your office is a dumb idea?), and had pretend funerals. Needless to say I had lot more visits to the theripist after that. At least I blew his mind.

#58 - Posted by: Monster Kabasue on February 12, 2004 02:30 PM

Sometimes I feel like I'm constantly being watched through that one-way window.

Fuck, I'm bored today.

#59 - Posted by: Sarah on February 12, 2004 02:35 PM

Susie, how come you don't already know ? I though you were informed about everything about Frank's life, and there...

Frank, you missed your duty to complete the information to all your fan club.

Susie, I wrote to Frank and told him that if he would apology, I would give up the complain. He apologized (no) and I wrote to the FBI to cancel the complain. It is as simple as this, the fact is that I have stopped writing in my blog. So as I feel boring not writing, better is to make fun here than on other people's blog...

By the way, I received an email from a girl working for an university who had got the same problem calling IMAO a hacker. I felt sorry for the girl, because she had to inform her superiors that in staid of working she was reading IMAO and that they had to re-install all the programs on the computer... well... a hell...

That's what Frank calls fun, which I do not call fun. Still, I have a revenge to take, but there are not any explanations to give to you Susie. You know it all, aren't you ?

I say that you like gigolos because everyone know that you publicly love Frank, Frank that, and that, and Franky, and Frank, while you are 30.

30

Anyway, I have always though that you and Frank would be a good couple. He is immature, you are not. He is distract while you are fidele to his silliness. You have my best wishes, and if once Frank organize a vote about matching, I promise, I'll vote for you.

Frank, Susie is a good lover for you. You should seriously consider this you know.

Actually, the term for the illness Saddam, Hitler, and Stalin were under is "Malignant Narcisism" not "Narsisistic Personality Dissorder".

Don't even think it Frank, I'll break your pinkie!

Damn you Amphitryon, damn you to the blazing fires of HELL I say.

Say it ain't so, Susie...

The most persuasive argument against Frnak having NPD are the posts from several months back needing help finding a girlfriend. Nobody with NPD would EVER admit having that problem.

"Natural born killer." Damn, that rocks. Nobody ever called me that. Eleanor Roosevelt once called me an "underpaid, oversexed, teenage [killer]," though. Well, she actually said that about the whole Marine Corps, way before I was born, but it applies to me by extension.

I only consider in here that the arrogance of some people about their superiority of language does not oblige me to not write.

Okay...but it would help a lot if we could actually understand what you're talking about. Or it would, if I hadn't already changed the channel.

I'm not even going to dignify that with a response.

Best; lines; ever!

BTW, narcissistic people are very rarely any fun to be around, or funny; unless, of course, their narcissism is mistaken for self-parody, in which case, they're a riot.

Which one are you; again?

First of all, Narcissist is another one of those words that liberals use to strike fear into the heart of even less educated liberals. In this case as most, whenever a liberal calls someone that "nastiest of "N" words" "Narcissist!!" they are describing someone who the rest of us call "self confident" By the way, crosschecking with my DSM-4R(the revised edition) there were no changes in your definition of nacissist. The only major changes were to remove unbridled faggotry from the list of sexual dissorders. A mistake that will live in infamy!
Anyways. Let the liberals keep mocking you. The one very important requirement to diagnose you with this dissorder was that it interferes with your daily life, and i can't ever remember these gems of personality traits of yours ever causing you to lose your mind and become psychotically liberal and therefore losing all of your readers. DISFUNCTION IS REQUIRED FOR A DIAGNOSED DISSORDER!!! MUH HA HA HA!!!!!

All I trying to say Frank is writing things and it has meaning that is not always what is meaning. When women are harmed by what is writing on blogs on backs of monkeys with frisbee gumbo whoopee pencil. Dog fritter weasel camps going taco in spinner doodle. Hop hop liberal funk monkey. Scissors cup speaker notes, Frank double mirror Chirac with pants phone. Yabba weeba dubba wubba yubba foop sup.

Yes Jennifer, the time just before you arrived to mess up in here, and there and around.

Wind rider, they would be find together, and Susie is a cinema owner, which ever you call it. You know, a movie saloon with chairs, a ticket room and everything. She could produce Frank, aren't you Susie.

I am sure she is pretty lovely, and she has a patience with Frank that I admire. A girlfriend is not a friend and a wife is not a girlfriend. She could be a good mother to your children Frank, aren't you think Peter ?

You see Frank, it would be a good thing that you find your love one. First you would become more friendly to everyone, and then... well, you are too much immature. Little involvement in the reality would be a good limit to your fictions. At least, Susie loves you playing the action man hero, and as someone praise of yourself, you would love her to admire you. People who admire you are not that much you know. A lot of them also hate you.

And don't say it cannot work out. It is not true. You are done together as a glove to the hand. Believe me. I am never wrong about committing people.

I should expect that everyone agree. At least on this.

Curtis, it's not that I don't want to be understood. The point is that also with many efforts, I cannot speak better than written.

Speaking is worst, because I usually give the definition of the words that I am trying to use in the conversation, so you have to guess all what I am talking about.

#72 - Posted by: Amphitryon on February 12, 2004 05:59 PM

If I understand that correctly, and most of the time I do, that defination just described what most of the country's top executives are. For instance....Bill Gates. What do you want to bet that this guy used Outlook Express to email you? Someone better tell Billy there that he is like that of Hitler. I am really sure he would like that and all.

#75 - Posted by: Joe S. on February 12, 2004 09:11 PM

Ah, time to weigh in as it were. First, for Harrington. Our friends on the left simply cannot tolerate the concept that they are, in point of fact, a dying breed in this country. Their inability to understand our ability to get past their wooden-head dogma results in, as we saw here, their need to label us as mental. Not a problem. I don't mind my mental health being disputed by those types. The young are the future and it's good to see they are tossing off the attempt of the left to saddle them with warmed over Marxist shit.

To Amphitryon. I won't pick on your English skills as my [insert your native language here] skills are no doubt worse. I have three pieces of advise for you though. 1) Get a sense of humor. Life is too short to go through it like Al Gore. 2) Accept that if your computer received a virus it may have not been from this computer. I'll assume that you were raised under the delusional "Code Napolean" style law where others are guilty until proven innocent. Our law is the opposite. 3) Don't pretend that you don't enjoy reading Frank's work. It's amply demonstrated that you do as you visit this site. "Frank is a sexist pig." So? I fail to understand this need for everyone to be a unisex robot. Sexism is practiced on both sides. As long as it doesn't get out of control it is perfectly natural.

Sarah. You're bored? Contact me privately. I've got a plan. It involves: luring Frank into a sealed room with 12 Bonobos. You're his sis; he'll fall for your ruses. While Frank is getting his dose of a cell filled with auto-erotic monkeys, you can do a hostile take over of his blog. All fear Sarah, master of the blog (except Frank of course, he'll be in the corner, looking around nervously, muttering about monkeys trying to put the make on him.

Frank: The best way too deal with the left is shock. They have delicate constitutions. Confirm everything they imply and add too it. Their ability to deal with concepts outside of their defined range is comical. "You're a Nazi!": "Yeah? So? Aren't you?" "Guns kill people!": "I know. That's why I own them. I'm just waiting for the opportunity to use them. I'd love to get my body count up."

#76 - Posted by: Joe on February 13, 2004 01:48 AM

Oh I'd say you're no more narcissistic than the average bear, Frank. But I tend not to trust shrinks' diagnoses anyway.

#77 - Posted by: Mollbot on February 13, 2004 03:12 AM

Joe, I have humor and I don't feel deprive of fun either. If you have lessons to give me about life, you'll have to listen to mine also.

Other people than me have said that they had got the virus from IMAO. Frank has never written that he was not guilty.

I am not particularly fond of Frank's writing. The fact is that he has a lot of readers who write very "funny" comments sometimes in contradiction with Frank's views. The point is also that if I don't blog anymore, it is partly because of IMAO, so when I feel some furor of hate I come here to say that I hate Frank J.

It is absolutely natural to hate Frank J. as much natural as Frank hates the French. The difference is that I have good reasons to really hate Frank, while I have sympathy to other people. I have fun where the fun is, which is not on IMAO. Not anymore at least and I am not the only one to make this constat that Frank bores and sucks. He is not riding, he is taking the way. So the good young man becomes a nasty ugly immature satire. He takes the profile also of the goat with a tail of evil. You said of pig. I think he is a croak oak.

Frank has some talent that he does not use properly with satire. I accuse Emperor Misha of that, of the way he is making the people around him to become his clones. People used to read Frank J. because he was a smart dummy, having a lot of derision of himself and of political. Frank does not like to be a dummy. He thinks that it is against is project getting a man. Actually, he is read by more teenagers than adults now, and the selection of is readers becomes nasty. It's up to him. But I say that he had talent that he does not develop because he is dumb enough to be the clone of Emperor Misha. Being an adult and an old man, Emperor Misha should bring back Frank on the road, being himself on IMAO also if he still be a satire at the Idiotarian Rottweiler, whichever you call it.

I accuse Emperor Misha of using Frank J. to feel younger, while Frank thinks that he makes it old to be stupid. I am sorry, I am old myself, and I think that one can be old but reasonable which would give a better appreciation on each of the people.

I remember one time a mother wrote to Frank that reading IMAO had built the conversation between her and her daughter. Some people used also to ask questions to which Frank had only serious absurd answers. It was funny, because the question was real, and the answer really out of the reality. Frank had talent in this kind of derision, nothing to do with the satiric gall of nowadays stories.

You know, a man, when young has hairs, muscles, youth for himself. When getting old, he loses his hairs, he's got stomackache and become a satire. Frank is currently becoming an humpty dumpty.

"Humpty dumpty sat on a wall.
Humpty dumpty had a great fall.
All the king's horses,
And all the king's men,
Counldn't put Humpty together again."

Once again Frank J. proves his comedic genius. I loved the Amphytryon2 post. It had just the right amount of almost, kind-of, sort-of reaching for a, maybe, point before veering into incoherent babble.

As for the good doctor's diagnosis,
Narcissistic? Of course Frank's narcissistic. But is he narcissistic enough?

Personality? Check, he has one.

Disorder? I don't know, he looks pretty organized to me. But then, he hasn't had his HDTV for a long time. That's a maybe.

Natural Born Killer? I've heard he was strangling hippies in his crib.


So right on 3 out of 4, maybe all 4.

#84 - Posted by: Veeshir on February 13, 2004 10:45 AM

Amph -- keep up the good work, which isn't what you think it is at all -- your postings are useful because they lead others to write amusing things. But if you think you're actually holding a serious discussion, I suggest you figure out the mindset of IMAO readers better.

Start with this. Individualism is not identical to selfishness (narcissism). Collectivism is not identical to altruism (humbleness). Saddam, Hitler, etc were so effective because they let other people play out *their* *collective* narcissism.

Frank is merely an individual. Yes, he treats the famous very badly; this is a blow against collective narcissism. But how about the posters here? Does Frank treat his fans as a narcissist would?

Be honest, you hate Frank and post on his blog because you can't understand or accept his popularity. I'd imagine that it has to do with the dryness of this post, reflecting your dry posts, causing boredom and drowsiness in the average reader.

#85 - Posted by: Capitalist_B on February 13, 2004 10:54 AM

Capitalist, I am just posting sometimes with the frequency of peeing in the garden.

Actually, I never wondered if I liked or not Frank's post, and your analyze is too much intellectual for my sobriety today.

One thing sure is that I hate Frank J., not because of his popularity, but because he is a manipulator and a liar. I would be wearing a gun, sure I would have already killed him in the head. He is not friendly to me, but it's sometimes funny to write few words where people are not friendly.

It is fascinating as a jungle. The jungle of IMAO.

One thing more, I do not blog for the popularity, but for the necessity to be able to communicate. Lay down my idea and make my own analyze. We call that a brainstorming. I really don't care to be read or not, as long as the people who I want to read me... read me. To be honest, I am pissed off the commentaries, and I really do not have a shit to give for what the people comment on my blog. I don't blog to be funny, neither to entertain, and I do not pretend to educate anybody. I think aloud as anyone writing a personal journal does, but to compile what is supposed to help me having a judgment, and help my readers have their own judgment. I am the kind who admit that my readers can think different than me, but when I do a good job, I expect that they answer to the priority I give... etc... etc...

I am writing on Frank's blog because there will be soon the presidency and because if Frank pretends to support Bush, he will have to work on it, because most the time, I consider that he is a dumb ass, which has nothing to do with his personality, but with the politic.

Frank, look at you in the mirror, picture the face, the feet and the little hole you have in your ass, write big on your hand that you are narcissistic, clean your feet and be serious when you are talking of the politic. We can make fun of many things in life, but there are limits, and you know the limits I am talking about.

I am making the censure Frank, you have to be a smart guy.

#86 - Posted by: Amphitryon on February 13, 2004 12:59 PM

What in the hell is that guy saying. Are you mentally handicapped. And don;t blame language barriers becuase I imagine if I understood his native tongue and he wrote it in said native tongue it would still make about as much sense as screen doors on a submarine.

One point that cannot be overemphasized is that E. Harrington is playing a dangerous game trying to pin a label on Frank J. without knowing the facts. What are his (or her) professional qualifications?

In contrast, the charge of being a "natural born killer" has a perfect alibi: every time Frank leaves a trail of dead bodies in his wake, he can always blame the Rumsfeld Strangler, Chomps, or Buck the Marine.

#93 - Posted by: Bloodthirsty Warmonger on February 14, 2004 12:46 AM

Capitalist, I don't have an IQ. It was taken out of my brain when I was six, and since, my parents have undertaken to not make me intelligent.

Frank is the only victim in my vicinity suffering from my lack of humor. It's because he pretends that I am a rabbit, while I think that I am better a fish or a peacock.

And considering my very old age, I don't have any lesson to receive from you, because if you think that you can make your lesson to the people here, you are calling the wrong person.

Bloodthirsty Warmonger, it seems that Frank has defined his own qualification. See the top of the right side bar under "new t-shirt", "It's a crime", "Unfunny", "You Sir..."

I think that the Sir thing revealed Frank's fantasm to be called a gentleman, which ever the means for.

#94 - Posted by: Amphitryon on February 14, 2004 05:31 AM

#97 - Posted by: rose on February 14, 2004 07:22 PM

Anyway, while the DSM-IV loves to point out problems, it's not big on solutions. Like, let's say I do have a narcissistic personality disorder; can I take anti-narcissism pills for that? And is that enough to qualify me as insane to get away with murder?

"For killing eight people, Frank J., I sentence you to one week of therapy to make you less self-absorbed."

And does it qualify as a disability?

"I'm narcissistic; give me free money!"

This... has to be... the BEST and FUNNIEST thing I've ever read!

Good thing I marked in that I agree with you Frank, y`know, in my last post.
You are NOT narcissistic! *triumph?*

Rose, I don't need anyone help about that, except little more security on my life which includes also less corruption around me. I have never had any need of the stories the liars are telling and spreading all around, and for what they call belief, I just answer bull shit.

Bull shit, bull shit, bull shit.

You are a kind of people in the society that oppose the society were I ought to be. So here starts the real mathematic. To be honest, I would not like my children to grow up into your world. I prefer to believe that reincarnation will deliver me of being among the naughty humans that destroy the world. I only ought to die, and that is the only perspective that really makes me happy, after I get vengeance against the government of Chirac.

Reincarnated into a river, a tree or a mountain. I should say a mountain, because most start to be a volcano. I need the torment to explode before the peace achieves the long time I have spent to stay alive.

All that to say Rose, that you inspire me what toilet perfumes inspire me after the bull shits. A profound disgust and a feeling of nausea.

#101 - Posted by: Amphitryon on February 18, 2004 01:17 AM

Amphitryon, you really ought to see a therapist... remember, cynicism really only masks a failure to cope... and I don't think you are coping with reality very well at all....
