I never thought I'd say it.....

I'm pissed at the Special Olympic people.

Retard is my go-to word, and it's spoken quite frequently whist wearing a helmet.

This...... is a retard.


This..... is not.


So.... here is my open letter to the fine folks who volunteer their time at the Special Olympics.


Dear Special Olympics People,

         You of all people need to stop acting like retards. I assume all of this attention to the "r" word is related to Barry's recent appearance on the Jay's show. Please don't let the gaff of one dumbass ( dumbass is a synonym of retard), taint and spoil the power of the most useful word in the English language, second only to "make the beast with two backs".

I am of the opinion, that your organization would best be served not by banning the word, but by turning it against those who truly are retarded.


See this..... this is a  group of kids who know and appreciate the meaning of  sport.... that it's fun.

The next time somebody uses the term retard to describe the participants in your Olympic games, just show them the above mentioned picture, the say... "wasn't Tonya Harding one of your Olympians"

look at all the fun she's having. 

My step son has Asperger's syndrome, and as you know, Aspergers is a milder form of autism. Having autism will get you a spot on the special Olympic team, will it not? Well....just so ya know, in the 4+ years I have been in Ethan's life, I've heard lots of words used to describe him..... and "retard" ain't one of them. So again....when some dumbass uses the word retard to describe the kids.... just say

hmmmm lets see..... who be on your team, and who be on ours.

Bill Gates has Aspergers......



Marion Jones..... not so much

see a pattern here?


Please I beg of you, DO NOT TAKE MY FAVORITE WORD AWAY!

Do what I do.... when somebody says I'm a retard, I simply say.... " no, you're the retard"

They have no defense.

We still have fu*ktard, the best of both worlds.

So how would this petition work?  The homeland security people would show up to remove that page from your dictionary?  Talk about retards!

yes it does.


I'd rather see people with special needs, and the people who help and love them stand up and say make the beast with two backs you, than add weight to a label.

[Autostrada Pilot]

yes it does.

I agree with you 1000% Bobspapa.

Saw it on the news here in TX today.  Removing the terms disabled and handicapped from everything!

Gotta be f*ing kidding!!

[Mother]

does this means they are giving back their parking spaces?

[Jobu]

make the beast with two backsing retarded

[Holden]

Gay.

I mean... DOH!

[corey]

I love that your letter uses "dumbass, retard, taint, and make the beast with two backs" all in one sentence
context means nothing.

[Statler]

This is as good a thread as any to point out that Jobu, your sig is freaken me out a little because the left one is pointing off in a different direction (her left, not my left).   It's like a lazy eye but different.

[Blackout]

Now you know how I felt when they substituted "handicapped" for crippled.
