No, old codgers just haven't figured out a way to siphon it yet.

I revel in my maturity. No longer am I trapped by the blindness of youth, pursuing those that bear false witness to their intentions or that bear no witness at all, having built them on a foundation of mud and changing the curtains by the flapping of a butterfly's wings. No longer must I hurl insults thinly disguised as humor in an effort to prop up a fragile ego built on a house of cards, needing only one to be removed for the whole structure to fall. I do not ridicule age, for with age comes experience and with experience, wisdom. Fear not the youthful prince arranged in all of his finery standing regally in front of his shiny throne holding a glimmering sword dictating edicts. Instead, fear the old man half in the shadows behind him, a hood covering his face and his eyes watching all. For though the old man may seem fragile, it is his mouth that has the prince's ear and his actions that control the executioner's hand.
And nor do I, spend countless hours pouring out my soul into a meaningless speech disguised as an insult, meant as a crude form of humor to scare the living daylights out of Xargoth that he is about to get banned!
It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt!

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy My brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay My vengeance upon you." Now... I been sayin' that shit for years. And if you ever heard it, that meant your ass. You'd be dead right now. I never gave much thought to what it meant. I just thought it was a cold-blooded thing to say to a mother****** before I popped a cap in his ass. But I saw some shit this mornin' made me think twice. See, now I'm thinking: maybe it means you're the evil man. And I'm the righteous man. And Mr. 9mm here... he's the shepherd protecting my righteous ass in the valley of darkness. Or it could mean you're the righteous man and I'm the shepherd and it's the world that's evil and selfish. And I'd like that. But that shit ain't the truth. The truth is you're the weak. And I'm the tyranny of evil men. But I'm tryin', Ringo. I'm tryin' real hard to be the shepherd.

Remember that this is the random outburst thread, not the random insult thread or the random jump on the bandwagon thread. Those that can't remember should think about it before they post.
