Reclaiming Retarded !!!
You know when I was a youngster growing up I did as children do.....and at times when involved in a verbal joust with a fellow 10 year old combatant... I called them a retarded jackass....
Now as I grew up somewhere along the way calling someone a retard or referring to them as retarded became politcally incorrect, as it was offensive to mentally challenged individuals and as I did not want to hurt anyone's feelings I steered away from the term not wanting to be insenstive.
Well the year is now 2006....and the beginning of the era of political correctness was quite some time ago......and it is in my opinion that the term retard no longer applies to "mentally challenged individuals" as society as a whole has moved past such an ignorent stereotype, after all, the definition of retarded is to mean slow. And quite frankly I know alot of Mentally Challenged people that are faster and smarter then I am !!!......coming to this thought provoking place of enlightenment has allowed me to come to a favourable conclusion...
I can once again call my Jackass friends FECKING RETARDED !!
Hooray for social progress !!!!

Hah. FOUND YOU!... and by searching for "Reclaiming Retarded" at that... imagine that. Only you... and one other person... had ever written that in their blog.
Now... who do you think this might be... considering it is almost 2am on Frid-I mean-Saturday night (well, technically Sunday Morning)? Don't worry. If you can't figure it out, I'll make sure to lurk in the woods around your house and whisper at you (After robbing it and locking you out of your own house, of course... lol)
