Yesterday, I was on a lay-over at the MSP Airport. Usually, I spend the time in the bar, drinking over-priced beer and people watching; but it was close to my flight time and all the bars were packed, so I headed to boarding area. That was packed too; but I was able to find a single seat, next to a late 20/early 30-something couple and their 4-ish son.
As I dove back into my Mother Jones Magazine, a 40-something, woman directly across from the family began talking to the little boy, who was chowing down on a Subway pizza. The father answered the woman by name, telling her that this was all his son had been eating for lunch, as he had been going to work with him for the past week, since his mom had been out of town interviewing.
The woman asked the mother how her job search was progressing. The mother responded that she had been out of town interviewing for teacher jobs ... she had been laid-off from her job of 5 years (somewhere in Wisconsin) and was having a tough time finding another job, despite having a Master's Degree and being certified to teach Elementary, Middle and High school Math and Science ... "I have looked at every school district in the state. School Districts just aren't hiring, anywhere! The only offer that I have received was from a charter school that wants to start me out at $18,000 per year. How can I make my loan payment on that? We still have to eat. If I had known the market would be so tough, I wouldn't have taken out all those loans."
The woman responded that she had gotten lucky ... she had been granted SSI (disability) just before her clerical support job with "the City" was eliminated.
Then, the woman asked the father how he was liking his new job ... apparently, he had recently been promoted to an "office job" position in a government agency. He loved it ... He no longer came home smelling of asphalt and sweat. Plus, his co-workers were all smart, hard working and conscientious, and they were all helpful and supportive as he got up to speed in his new position; "even though they're all members of the Union."
So, the woman asked how he likes Governor Walker? The father's face lit up saying how he loves the guy and supports everything he is doing and wished "all governors had the guts to do the same stuff."
(I Glanced up to see a 20-something woman sitting across from me go slack-jawed, as I could only imagine she was thinking what I was thinking ... "Wait a minute. You're a government worker, in a unionized job; your wife can't find a teaching job, despite being well prepared, and you're talking to a former government worker who is how receiving government assistance ... and you 'Love Walker?'" ... At this point, my magazine is down and I am openly listening to the conversation.)
So the woman asks, what the father thought about Rubio? She got a blank stare from the father. After she had to explain that Rubio was a potential candidate for the Republican VP spot, the father apologized and said that he was kind of out of the loop because he couldn't listen to the radio in the office and he was working long hours at the job because they were down 4 positions and were under a hiring freeze ... but the over-time really helped since his wife was out of work.
(This was met be eye rolling by, both, me and the 20-something)
So the woman asked about the president race, and the father got a disgusted look on his face as he said, "Anyone but Obama ... We've got to get that clown out of there before he destroys this country." The woman nodded and said, "Yup! romney was not my first or second choice, in fact, I really don't like the guy, but with his business experience, he'll be able to turn the economy around."
(That was it! I could stay silent, not a moment longer ...)
As I was opening my mouth to speak, the 20-something woman said, "Excuse me ... But I couldn't help over hear your conversation. Can I ask you guys a couple of questions?"
Father:
"Sure."
20-something Woman:
"Is the primary source of your income derived through investments?"
Father:
"Of course not ... I work and my wife is looking for work. That's why we've got to get that Obama guy out and take back America."
40-something Woman:
"Yeah ... Who has money to invest in this train-wreck of an economy?"
20-something Woman:
"So tell me ... what good will electing romney president do for you?"
Father:
"He has the business know how to create jobs."
40-something Woman:
"He's gonna taxes, cut government spending and repeal ObamaCare. Like my nephew just said, We've got to take back this country."
20-something Woman (to Wife):
"Who pays teachers? Who writes the check for your husband's job?"
40-something Woman and Father (in unison):
"We do ... the tax-payer!!!!"
20-something Woman:
"Exactly! Our tax dollar pays the teachers and government workers ... and romney wants to cut the government spending that pays your husband today; and, he wants to cut the taxes that will helped school districts employ teachers yesterday and would help them hire them tomorrow. So we know what cutting taxes and government spending looks like ... unemployed teachers and under-staffed government agencies. So, again, what good will electing romney president do for you?"
40-something Woman:
"But, Sweetie, you don't understand ... Government doesn't create jobs, private industry does. The government has to be small so that the private sector can create more jobs!"
Father:
"Yeah, you liberals are always demonizing the private-sector and looking for the government to save you. It's Obama's policies that are killing the private-sector's ability to create jobs."
20-Something Woman:
Okay ... Can we agree that the private-sector's goal is to create profit, not jobs; and, oftentimes, creating profits means cutting jobs? And even then, when the private-sector does create jobs, we know what that looks like, too; $18,000 a year for Masters degreed Math and Science teachers and no healthcare or pensions. And President Obama has nothing to do with that. But, that IS what romney did at Bain Capital? And, what Walker is doing in Wisconsin. So, again, what good will electing romney president do for you?"
(At this point, everyone within earshot is listening to the "debate", most are nodding in agreement and some are snickering.)
Father (now, red-faced and talking pretty loudly):
"See that's the problem with you liberals ... You always want someone else to give you free stuff."
20-something Woman (looking at Ms. 40-something):
"Free stuff like Disability and Medicaid?"
(Looking at the wife) "Free stuff like working hard for a living wage that will support your college loans AND allow you to eat, too? Free stuff like having confidence that at the end of your career, there will be a pension to support you and your family in your retirement? Well, they just called my flight so I'm gonna ask you one last time, what good will electing romney president do for you ... other than getting the Black guy out?"
(As this 20-something Woman gathered her stuff) Father (shouting):
"F@#%ing liberals! We should make a law so the brain-dead can't vote!"
To that, the 20-something smiled and said: "Now that we agree on. Enjoy your flight ... Enjoy your life."
And I, didn't even have to say a word!

I love it when they remember a conversation verbatim!

I actually read the entire thing, what a load. :panic:

And of course she put the racism card in it. What a bunch of bull shit. That moon bat is stupid.
The thing that makes it more stupid is that the rest of the douchbags think it is real. Wow, what a bunch of retards.

Yeah..It's a little long.
I give two bongs, one for effort and one for it's semi classic style.

Me too, Jake. I was waiting for the conversion at the end. I guess the nodding heads in agreement and snickering will have to do.
I guess she didn't hear the part where Gov Romney said he would would reduce the government payrolls through attrition, not outright reduction of employees. Not that some actual trimming of the rolls isn't warranted.
-
He added an additional essential element! The smiling and nodding!

13. The funny thing is ...
During this whole "debate" I was waiting to jump in; but the only contribution from me that was necessary was ...
Smiling (loudly)
Nodding (vigorously)
Allowing the occasional, "Yup" to slip through my lips (loud enough for everyone to hear, but not be a part of the conversation).
Must be fishing for bong points. His story exhausted me, and so do the mindnumbing comments from the DUmbasses. All they're saying is that these people have been programmed by propoganda. :yawn:
-
I actually enjoyed this particular fabricated story. The author did something different by having the 20-something Woman character confront the wascally weepublican. As far as I know this is the first Bouncy that 1StrongBlackMan has fabricated. Considering Bouncy Tales are a difficult form of fiction writing to master I think it is pretty stellar for a first attempt. In his next one, which I eagerly await, he does need to work in more of the old school elements like someone jumping out of a bush.

That's one of my problems with him. Outright firings and layoffs would be better. :-)

That would be a cop. Our hometown family doctor had a favorite saying. "No matter how thin you spread it, it's still the same thing."

Who answers like that?
If some stranger asked me the primary source of my income, I'd tell them it's none of their business.
Major bouncy.

I've often wondered, when reading DUmmy bouncies, do the other DUmmies *really* believe these happen as typed, or do they simply voice agreement because one or two of the 'cool kids' jump in, and they want to sit at the cool kids' table.

I'm guessing some of both.

What the freepers should have said,
What good would reelecting 0bama do? He has already shown us what he will do for the economy and it aint good, so may as well give Romney a crack at it he can't do any worse than 0bama.

They do, I have never had one, but I've seen the boxes in the dumpster at work.

Subway has pizza?
I was curious about that too. I haven't been to a Subway store since they cancelled their seafood salad sub, it was the only sandwich they made that I liked.

I know they have subs with pizza toppings on them.

Perhaps a lurking DUmmy can take this style guide back to the hive to help the neophyte bouncy writers score higher:
Quote from: Miskie's Bouncy Checklist
1 the tale starts with a conjunction
2 introduces a 'villain',
3 a 'hero',
4 and a 'victim',
5 includes an unexpected threat
6 contains a conversion of the 'villain' to 'hero', 'victim' or both.
7 contains verbatim quotes
8 includes commentary about the sorry state of affairs
9 includes at least some topical political discussion
10 contains at least one snarky comment that flies over the head of the 'villain'
I use this as a guideline and add or subtract points based on overall presentation. It is possible to get 10 points even if a few items on the checklist are missing if the story is compelling enough. To everyone reading - Feel free to use the checklist if you wish.
In this case -
So a new guy started today -- the tale starts with a conjunction
Sales guy to replace a guy who is out on disability for a few months ..He wanted ClusterFAUX.. -- introduces a 'villain'
When I told him it's blocked here (pats self on back) -- 'hero'
(Fox is) blocked here.. because it isn't 'news' -- contains at least one snarky comment that flies over the head of the 'villain'
Four points. But just barely. The tale needs to be fleshed out more. He didn't get any verbatim quote points since it wasnt presented that way with any sort of 'exchange' between the hero and the villain. http://www.conservativecave.com/index.php/topic,32510.msg341616.html#msg341616
While it is true this may result in formulaic bouncies until the writer matures with the genre it certainly will give them a better idea of how to increase their scores.
ETA:`
Minskie's list does not include the classic elements of a cop and bushes but then....
-
And a little more coaching:

As I dove back into my Mother Jones Magazine,
Really? You know, mole all you want but please...I mean, "c'mon!"
-
Total Mole! :lmao:
Screen name: Strong Black Man
Reading Material: Mother Jones
Conversation: Remembers it verbatim
Recent News Event: Wisconsin Election with the bonus of the person being a Teacher
A Demonstrative Audience: These people snickered instead of applauding
The Hero: Always the regressive
The Stupid Villain: Always the Republican
Ooops! just saw Miskie's Bouncy Checklist! :lmao:

Subway has pizza?
They had a pizza sub as a promotion a couple of weeks ago (I'm not sure if they still have it or not though). I had it, it wasn't that bad.
-
It's funny, I'm out in public a lot, including crowded spaces like aiports, and yet the only time I've heard people from opposing sides argue over politics has been when people come to our door as part of a campaign.
These stories sound like nothing but liberals living out their fantasies of blasting their opposition in arguments. The biggest giveaway might be all the people nodding in agreement and snickering.

Off topic, but I noticed you had one more h5 than bs, so I had to fix that. :-)

Actually, I think some of them are dreams they have and are just making them sound like it really happen. The DUmmies aren't smart enough to have an imagination as good as some of the stories are.

Subway has pizza?
I read awhile back they were introducing a personal size deep dish pizza to their menu.

I didn't hear that. I wonder if it will be a healthy?

That was a pretty good bouncy. Reminiscent of the dialog from the hit TV series The West Wing.

So, I had to stop at the grocery store tonight, here's my bouncy about it.
It's freaking hot, I put the quarter in the thingy on the cart and the cart pulls right out, no glitches.
I walk in, I see someone I know, I say hi, they say hi, I walk about 20 feet and see someone else I know, I say how ya doing? they say fine, how you doing? I say good.
I head into the controversial produce section, I pick up some tomatoes, no convo from me, didn't hear anyone having a convo.
I head over to paper products, avoided a collision, I say excuse me, she says excuse me, we're on our way.
I go to the register, smile and say hi, cashier says hi, at this point it gets controversial, we discuss the weather.
He gives me my receipt, I say thank you, he says have a nice day, I say you too.
I go into the liquor store, long line, not 1 conversation going on, the guy tells me to come over to his register, and oh boy! controversy ahead, I saw an ex-boyfriend, hadn't seem that fool in almost 2 decades, I think UGH! walk past the fool didn't even look, then head out to the car and come home.
-
The woman responded that she had gotten lucky ... she had been granted SSI (disability) just before her clerical support job with "the City" was eliminated.
Uh, how the hell did she get SSI if she is employed? Isn't that like... you know... fraud?
:whatever:

There nothing about converting people and getting big round of applause as you were walking out.

So we have a husband and a wife who are conservative. The husband has a job where he has received a recent promotion which obviously means more pay, but the wife is looking for a job in another state. Why would the husband give up a job with a guaranteed salary to move with his wife to another state were she to get a teaching job? Why would the wife not at least take the $18,000 job (she could still look for a better paying job, maybe at a private school) because that would help pay the bills better than $0?
If they were that pressed for money, why would she (selfishly) use that family's much needed income to travel to other states looking for work especially when she was already offered another one? How can they afford fast food when they have so little money? Conservatives would have made a peanut butter sandwich at home (which takes less time to make than standing in the line at Subway), grabbed an apple or a banana, maybe some crackers & bottled water or juice which would be a cheaper meal.
Since no other teachers have been fired because of Walker's policies (he would have been forced to fire them if the union got their way because the government couldn't afford to keep them all) why was she let go? Was she incompetent?
Why, especially if they are conservative, would they bother answering the 20 something woman instead of telling her that it's none of her business and when she gets older she might understand more about how the world works?
Why, when the topic of the discussion was looking for a job, a this person just throw in "what do you think about Rubio"? And if by some weird reason the conservative family decide to continue the conversation with the nosy young woman, why wouldn't the conservative explain that many people are being vetted and Romney hasn't yet picked a running mate?
Why would the 40 year old, should he bother continuing a conversation with an idiot, not explain how the private sector creates jobs, how the private sector benefits regular people (including teachers) since most 401k's invest in these companies?
Why didn't he point out that Bain Capital saved plenty of companies which meant saving jobs and that even plenty of democrats agree with that?
Why wouldn't they bother to ask the 20 year old how she thinks raising taxes creates jobs and explain to her how the opposite is true?
Or explain that Romney's main plan for reducing government employees is through attrition and not just firing whole swaths of people?
Why would the husband, out of the blue bring up "free stuff" and if he did why would he not counter her stupidity with real examples?
And why wouldn't he explain how conservatives market based solutions, like allowing people to buy insurance across state lines bring more competition and, thus, even save government programs like Medicare/caid millions of dollars?
Why wouldn't he explain there are way too many abuses of disability and by weeding out the people that don't need it, the government would save more money and let people who really need it apply and get it without as much delay?
Or why some of those people getting disability cant get job training (even if the government paid for this it would save the taxpayers money in the long run and create more taxpayers since unemployed people on disability USE taxpayer's money without contributing? A carpenter with a back injury and even someone in a wheel chair CAN be trained to do a job. Companies have no problem hiring handicapped people. A paraplegic has full use of his hands and can certainly do desk work. There are plenty of jobs that can be even done from home. Call centers hire people all the time all you have to do is be able to answer the phone and use a computer.
Why would he even bother with such a stupid laundry list of "free" programs that just happen to cover every single democrat talking point and "pet" program?
Why would a conservative, publicly use the "F" word, especially in front of his young son?
Why would he even bother saying anything at all?
Why wouldn't they, as most republicans would, cut the little liberal 20 year old off before she started spewing such stupid shit?
Why wouldn't they just tell her to bug off and MYOB, they had no interest in talking politics with her or anyone else in the middle of the airport?
Why would this DUmmie just HAPPEN onto a conversation that covers every single thing the democrats believe and, naturally, include every response in the exact tone, prejudice, inability to grasp the issue that liberals believe about conservatives and respond in the exact way liberals are convinced everyone should think?
And "coincidentally" show a 40 year old couple who obviously have more life experience and a greater knowledge of how the world works being shut down by the "wisdom" of a 20 year old who has almost no life experience?
Why, as a bonus, would racism be thrown into the mix because cries of racism "color" every excuse they have for conservatives' objection to 0bama's policies whether there's any real proof or not?
Predictably, the conservatives get angry and flustered and the calm at the absolutely stupid and immature responses from the 20 year old.
Why would a couple waiting for an airplane do anything more than make small talk because it would be rude to impose such nonsense on others?
Why didn't airport security jump out from behind the potted plant and tell the foul mouthed conservatives to calm down and stop using such language in a public airport?
Why did the DUmmie forget the "SO" at the beginning of the story?
Or explain how he remembered the conversation word for word?
Why doesn't my airport have a Subway and when did they start selling pizza? And why would they even go on about the boy eating these all week when the normal response would be something like, "Yeah he really loves them!"
Why would they know this person by name and then, at the end, she walks away and makes a comment that makes it seem like this is the first and last time they've ever spoken?
If this is such a "reasonable" and smart liberal why would one conversation end their relationship, especially since they obviously knew her well enough to have already talked about the wife looking for a job?
And why do the DUmmies usually believe this crap?

In all my years of going to the store or sitting in airports I have never once tuned into another persons private conversation much less memorized it. But then again, being a conservative I treat people the same way I want to be treated. Leave me alone and I will leave you alone and will I not listen to a private conversation unless I am invited to join in. Libs just have to poke into everyones business.
As for Subway pizza, it is ok. Not great. Makes sense for them to make pizza I guess. They have the dough, the toppings, and the little ovens to toast the bread. I can not reconmend any of their breakfast food tho.
Gawd, now I want a Firehouse sub. :drool:

I couldn't tell you the conversations I had at work today... let alone some conversation someone else was having.

Wow...I actually love that idea and wish grocery stores around here used that. My biggest pet peeve is people leaving their shopping carts in the middle of the dang parking lot....It ticks me off to no end when I have to get out of my car to move a cart in order to park.

As far as I know this is the first Bouncy that 1StrongBlackMan has fabricated. Considering Bouncy Tales are a difficult form of fiction writing to master I think it is pretty stellar for a first attempt.
First I've seen of him with a Bouncy as well. He's a regular in their black support group. Prolly trying for GD cred. Despite a couple of exceptions he did a pretty good job of it in his initial foray.

Subway has pizza?
That's where I pretty much stopped reading.
And unless I know someone, I pretty much don't talk to ANYONE in the boarding area unless they're a gate agent. Bar? Hey, you don't like paying $6 for a beer? Try Manhattan, where a beer during "Happy Hour" goes for $7. Even then, I don't strike up conversations with random people outside of what might be playing on ESPN.

At a few grocery stores yes, you put the quarter in then when you're done you take your cart back, stick the thingy in it from the cart in front of you and your quarter pops out.
So instead of hiring bagboys to go out and gather the carts, the store has the customer return it and bribes them with getting their 25 cents back. Dear Leader should have mentioned this job killer along with the ATM machines.

Oh, you'll still have a few lazy ****ers out there who won't return them. And I like what our local stores do--there are some "slower" folks who they hire to bag and gather the carts. Give these folks a great sense of worth, for which I approve with my patronage.

Why would this DUmmie just HAPPEN onto a conversation that covers every single thing the democrats believe and, naturally, include every response in the exact tone, prejudice, inability to grasp the issue that liberals believe about conservatives and respond in the exact way liberals are convinced everyone should think?
And why do the DUmmies usually believe this crap?

An excellent post and H5 for the effort. What caught me was the snipped part above. I think you distilled it nicely in that paragraph.

Okay. So you get your quarter back if you have proper manners. I don't have a problem with that and wish they would do it around here. It would probably mean less carts blowing around the parking lot. It really pisses me off to see someone parked two spaces from the cart corral (or whatever they call it) who is too lazy to put the cart where it is suppose to go.

People still leave their carts in the middle of the parking lot, not most of the time, but some still do.

I'm sure that's the reason they started doing that, but a few people still leave the carts in the parking lot and don't worry about their quarter, then you get nice people who see you struggling for your quarter in your purse and they give you the cart for free, I've had people give me the cart for free and I've done it, and you kind of just pay it forward, if you've been given the cart for free you give it to someone else for free, or just leave it someone in the parking lot and don't attach it to the other cart so the quarter is still in it.

Then the evile capitalist grocery store gets to steal all those quarters from the downtrodden people.

I used to be a cart monkey at Wally World (this one had "islands" in the parking lot where there were trees and grass). If we weren't on those areas constantly, people would fill those things up with carts, regardless of where the cart corrals were.
