Ever wonder what a real Dickhead looks like?
Now You Know
"Don't be a dick" is the fundamental but unofficial rule of getting along with our fellow man and also a very important component to getting along with women. Everything else is just a variation on that theme. If being a dick was a crime, we could arrest, prosecute and confine them in dick prisons (there are REAL dicks in prison). But as far as I know, being a dick is not a crime. Even so, the actions of a dick might eventually land them in jail anyway. What really matters is that if we tried to label all dicks as crimimals we would be guilty of being dicks ourselves.
After reading Cannery Row (for the 3rd or 4th time) by John Steinbeck I ran across a great paragraph that could serve as a complete definition of a dick. It occurs about half-way through the story where Doc, one of the main characters, speaking to Richard Frost has to say about men. "It has always seemed strange to me the things that we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding, and feeling are the companions to failure in our society. And those traits that we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism, and self-interest, are the traits of success."
After reading that you gotta ask yourself, why do we do it?, perpetuate the dicks of the world. Is it because a dick has to be hard to get a head, ahh, I mean, ahead? Are dicks actually respected by other non-dicks for being a dick? Or is it just one big dick network where dicks stick together, like lawyers & doctors? Do we really need people who are sharp, greedy, acquisitive, mean, egotistical, selfish and only interested in themselves? If the answer is yes, as the evidence suggests, that's a sad commentary on our society. But as a lot of folks have experienced working for the man, you know, that boss that didn't know his a** from 3rd base, the guy that sucked up to his boss so bad it was sickening, who himself was a moron (son of the owner, maybe). Just who are the guys that get ahead with these kind character flaws? Why, dicks, that's who.
This is the first post of my new blog about being a Dick. Here you will see all kinds of (D)dicks, from famous Dicks and celebrity Dicks to bosses and ex-boyfriends who are dicks. How about your husband?, is he Dick or a dick by a different name? Us real Dicks like to say we are not A dick, nor are we The dick, just Dick will do nicely. This is not a porn site nor will it ever feature anything other than slightly off-color humor about dicks and Dicks, the latter with a capital D being the good Dicks, the other, well you get the idea.
I invite any and all comments about the Dicks or dicks in your life. Here is your platform to really let em have it or to stick up for your Dick.
