Solid Mantis's definitions

Straightforward

When a guy has said to the people who decided they might have problems with him, his life, or the way he lives it in the future that they could let him know when and if they did at any time and anywhere, he's been straightforward with them. There's nothing coming from his ass or his yard, he said what he meant to say.

The guy is not a famous actor, musician, or athlete, so there's nothing glamorous going on in his life. He hasn't done a whole lot that wasn't straightforward with anything that was on his mind.

Base jumping

An activity for the kind of moron who doesnt have the self control to wait for the next plane or helicopter to parachute.

Guy getting out of jail- They got me for trespassing at the TV station. They had to come get me down off the guy wires, I was lucky, I could be dead right now.

Guy who knows him- Why dont you just go skydiving if you want to parachute that bad, that way theres no guy wires to get caught on?

Guy getting out of jail- I have to jump off everything I see, theres not really a good reason why.

Guy who knows him- I didnt think there would be, it's getting expensive to bail you out of jail for base jumping.

Hypothetical bullshit

The what if kind of bullshit.

If you want to bring up something that matters, I'll be here, if you want to bring up more hypothetical bullshit, I'm an unborn ghost that nobody ever thought about before.

Developers

When someone leaves their area, many are undecided about where they want to live, they've heard things about an area or knew somebody that moved there, and they thought about moving themselves. Someone who really wants a house in an area badly enough doesn't need a newly built house in a neighborhood that wasn't there 20 years ago, they're going to look for one anywhere they can find one, even if they have to dig a little bit deeper to find one. All developers really do is clear cut everything to make things quicker and easier for themselves and the people moving in from out of state, or out of town.

Developers never have the interest of the people from an area in mind, they have dollar signs in mind. Nothing else.

Humor

Humor is thought to be anger masked by jokes to some folks.

So if a stand up comedian is telling that many jokes, he must be angry about something. Why do so many people laugh when an angry asshole gets on a stage? Somebody with a sense of humor would have to explain how that's about more than making some money for most of the people that do it for a living.

Bedrock

Some call a gathering place a bedrock of a community.

A lot of things called the bedrock of a community, or a gathering place, have either shut down, or burned to the ground in the past year. The good news, if there is any, is that no fire, whether small, or vast like a wildfire, lasts forever. A fire always runs out of fuel once there's nothing left for it to spread to, or burn.
