Stinky sure seems to have a chip on his shoulder. I've noticed a certain smugness in his posts whenever someone disagrees with him.
He's also a militant liberal and earlier today he actually made the case that MSNBC is somehow subtly right leaning-or takes a cue from the right.
His name also sucks.
He may get my vote for top primitive. Ironically, in that "election", I vote far left.
One of the ways I use when I want to understand someone--someone in either real life or on the internet or on Skins's island--is that I read up on the history and culture of the time and place in which that particular person was born and raised.
It's not that hard to do, and besides, I (usually) have the time.
Bridgeport, Connecticut, where the sparkling husband primitive was born (or moved there while still an infant) in 1946 (it may have been 1947, but all evidence says 1946, perhaps even 1945), during the last half of the 1940s, all of the 1950s, and the first half of the 1960s, was a, uh, rather interesting place to grow up.
Especially if one were a male of Italian derivation.
It was the sort of thing that would turn one into either (a) an authentic tough guy, a throat-cutter, or (b) a sissy, a wimp.
The sparkling husband primitive was in the U.S. Navy 1965-1967, in a boat off the shore of South Carolina. I have no idea why the sparkling husband primitive stayed in the Navy only two years; it seems to me that was the only intelligent thing he ever did in his life, and that if he had stayed there, he would be a Fleet Commander by now.
But we all make wrong turns in life, and nonetheless, one is grateful to the sparkling husband primitive for having defended our shores, so one could, as a little lad at the time, grow up in safety and serenity--and franksolich is sincere, utterly sincere, in his gratitude to the sparkling husband primitive for his service.
It should be no surprise that the sparkling husband primitive ended up in Baltimore, as there were close, tight-knit, connections between the, uh, Italian-derived of Bridgeport, Connecticut and their similarly-derived friends in Baltimore, Maryland, at the time ruled over by Thomas D'Alessandro, mayor and congressman.
It was during the 1970s that the D'Alessandro operations were moved to San Francisco, California.
In case one does not know this, Bela Pelosi is the daughter of Thomas D'Alessandro.
It's always interesting, watching the sparkling husband primitive's "business trips"--most of the time (not all the time, but much of the time), he goes to San Francisco, to meet with "business associates" named Moe and Izzy and Sal and Manny and Al and Lucky.
The modesty of the sparkling husband primitive's personal life-style says much, perhaps a little too much.
