7 habits of highly effective a*holes
Judging by the quality of the barbs I've noticed flying around here of late, I have a sneaking suspicion that either:
a) one of you is Travis Daub, or
b) most of you have read his groundbreaking analysis and compendium of what it takes to be an a*hole.
I submit this to the jury.

I don't need someone to tell me I am an arsehole, chief, I already know it.
Regular intake of fibre, a little caffine, plenty of fluids, not too much alcohol or red meat...
I can only think of 5
That is the single greatest corporate spoof of all times.
"These fries aren't too fvcking crispy...."
Gotta love it.
My first thought was bard = beard (like barba) .. but that doesn't make any sense. Why would the guys with a quality beard be quality a-holes?
2nd thought, bard = barbie, barbara.. whatever. that makes even less sense.
So, dictionary .. (me dummy, but I admit it .. when I miss something)

The dictionary didn't make me any wiser. Wtfsck do the barbs, any kind of barbs, have to do with the topic about this thread?
Definition 2: "A cutting remark."
Duh. You're such an idiot for not noticing that.
However, I have a couple of "dummy" questions myself.
1) What does wtfsck mean - I can guess the first three letters, but not the rest.
2) Also, is giaguara the name of something? (Is it Italian, perhaps?)
3) I never found out whether you were mulattabianca or not?
PM me if you want. Thanks.
