Anyone Around Here Clever Enough?

["tomeeka"]

I need a good comeback. I went to shoot the M-16 and not only did I suck tremendously, but I totally spazzed! I saw one of the guys that was there with me today. I said "word" and he said "wassup, sharp shooter." Grrr, Now I have to get him back somehow and I'm gonna do it thru email. What should I say? I'm asking because I wanted to say something better than "your mom". Any ideas...PLEEEEEASE! I gotta deploy with this guy so I need to gain back my dignity before so everyone won't think I'm a dork.

um... comebacks are for when the person says it.... not like 5 hours later. Just swallow your pride. That other guy's probably forgotten bout it already.

Uh yeah I guess, but I shot the damn thing like 2 weeks ago and he hasn't forgot it yet. He said it as he passed me down the hall so I think I could still burn him thru an email...I'm just not clever enough. Deployment is like highschool all over again and I don't wanna re live that.

A conflict takes two parties. The best thing to do is let it drop.

Its part of maturity. You don't NEED to get back at him. In fact, you trying to get back at him will probably make people respect you less.

["tomeeka"]

Okay okay, maybe you are right, but I'm sure he'll bring it back up and in front of people so I wanna be prepared for the next time. What should I say to put him back in his place if he happens to bring it up again?

[arby]

Just be like... "Dude... that happened 2 weeks ago...".

[Oneironaut]

First, don't do it through email.

Like Arby says, the best thing to do is ignore him. The worst thing you can do to people like that is let them get under your skin.

But if you can't, the next time he says it, just (calmly) say something like "Still trying to project your insecurities on other people, I see? That's alright. You'll grow out of it...someday," smile and just go on about your business.

[wasup]

Yeah, you can just stfu about it and he will be like "okay he doesn't really care." Pretty much everything Arby said.

I don't think she should shut up, I think you should say something about guns that don't shoot, if you catch my drift. :evil:

[eightyape]

this one may be a little too sharp "your complacency and confidence in your superior marksmanship may well get you killed"

[arby]

Comebacks like those generally just get you strange looks. A rolling of the eyes is a defeat all comeback. Unless of course, what they said caried any weight.. (this doesn't BTW)

Thanks for the input! He best keep his face shut next time. I'll say something back even if it is "your mom". LOL!

[spiritofthewolf]

wait, your fighting over the internet? that is kind of lame with in its own right...man i would forget about him, you have better stuff to be doing with your life then wasting it away on a computer fighting with someone... go out and get a girlfriend, they are always fun :)

LOL
Call his bluff and challenge him to a duel.
Then with an evil smile, whisper that you've been practicing.

[eightyape]

just cos you spend all day stroking your weapon doesnt mean we all do- any better?

LOL, both of these are pretty hilarious. The whole challenging him to a duel thing is a riot!
You people crack me up.

[Howie]

When those bullets do find their mark , you best be hoping one doesn't find it's way between your eyes.
I would not use that unless you are on those type of terms, meaning a friend. Other wise it could be more of a threat than a come back. :wink:

[arby]

Howie likes them proverbs =O

And they always make you sound so much more intelligent. Damm you and your proverbing XD

[dodobird]

Tell him: You mom is so fat, even I get shoot her!

[Jess]

Wait, you were shooting an M-16?!

Yeah I'm in the US "chair force"...lol, ya'll probably wouldn't get that one...oh well

Love them both!

Seriously though, don't send a comeback via email.

["tomeeka"]

I won't, I won't. I'll just wait til next time he decides to smart off

[Amethyst Star]

"Wassup, sharpshooter"? All I can say is: that's original. Did he come up with that himself?
