MGTOW Movie – Really this time, honest!

[RoyDalParticipant]

I trot out my personal copy of A Christmas Story every year at the time of the season. May Jean Shepherd rest in peace. Him, I miss!

It’s the birthday of humorist Jean Shepherd (books by this author), born in Chicago, Illinois (1925). He’s remembered for the autobiographical stories he told on the radio about a boy named Ralph Parker growing up in Hohman, Indiana. One of his stories was made into the movie A Christmas Story (1983), which Shepherd narrated. It’s about a boy who wants a BB gun for Christmas, even though every adult in his life says that he’ll shoot his eye out. The stories he told on-air were always improvised, but he later wrote them down and published them in collections like In God We Trust: All Others Pay Cash (1967) and Wanda Hickey’s Night of Golden Memories and Other Disasters (1972).

Society asks MGTOWs: Why are you not making more tax-slaves?

I also watch it once every Christmas, a personal tradition for many years.

Loved watching that every year.. So much the line became an inside joke between a few of my friends.. “Your gonna shoot your eye out with that thing.”

I had a daisy bb gun as a young boy and watched western movies where they would shoot a hole in a canteen of water. I had a plastic canteen filled it with water and leaned it against a tree and took aim..The bb didn’t penetrate the plastic canteen but just bounced back hitting me just under my left eye..

I was bound to be misunderstood, and I laugh at those who misunderstand me. Kind mockery at the well intentioned, but unfettered cruelty towards those would be prison guards of my creative possibilities. This so as to learn as much from misunderstanding as from understanding. Taking pleasure in worthy opponents and making language fluid and flowing like a river yet pointed and precise as a dagger. Contradicts the socialistic purpose of language and makes for a wonderful linguistic dance, A verbal martial art with constant parries that hone the weapon that is the two edged sword of my mouth.
