IBM Interview

Larry King37 said:Have you ever taken a beating—maybe because of your sharp tongue? How bad was it?

My tongue isn't "sharp"🙂—given how poorly this question is framed, I won't be answering☕

Fine, swap out "evil" for "harsh" and then get back to the question. 🙂

Though, now that I think about it, we don't have any clue what your language even sounds like. The only thing we actually know is how those fingers of yours look. 😁

Alright, since you’re the editor of this publication, I’ll accept the correction; at least Larry King37 will be silenced for now!
-Man, I used to get beat up constantly back in elementary school because I was basically ranked 3rd in my class for toughness, and those first two kids bruised me more than once... 😬
-But the only "real fights," if you can even call them that, happened when I messed up as a teenager using some pathetic tactic... 👎 There was this guy I met while on vacation in Florida—someone I was taller and twice as strong as—and I was just trying to "explain" things to him... I didn't have the slightest clue he was gearing up to attack me, and he did it dirty. Basically, I was one or two steps below his level, and while I was busy lecturing him, he just smashed his head into mine with everything he had, knocking me out cold... Then, obviously, he totally embarrassed me since I had some muscle on me... but hey, it was a major lesson. You just always have to be ready... even a cheap shot like a headbutt can take almost anyone down. Like, someone approaches you on a street in NYC to ask for directions or something... But after that experience, I'm careful about keeping my distance from strangers (well, with guys 😁; I might take a closer risk with girls 😳). So yeah, those were the only real scraps I've been in, though honestly, it didn't even hurt until much later—I couldn't even eat or smell anything... but whatever, lesson learned 🧐 ☕

-Man, I used to get my ass kicked back in elementary school because I was basically the third strongest kid in class, and those first two guys knocked me down more than once😬
-But the only "real beatings," if you can even call them that, happened when I was a teenager and totally blew it because of some pathetic mistake...👎 I was at the beach with an acquaintance who I was taller and twice as strong as... I was "explaining" things to him... I didn't have the slightest clue the guy was gearing up to jump me, and he did it dirty. Basically, I was a step or two above him, but while I was busy lecturing him, he just headbutted me with everything he had—straight head-to-head—and knocked me out cold. Then, obviously, he absolutely wrecked me since I had some fat on me... but hey, it was a major lesson. You just always have to stay ready. Even a shitty surprise like a headbutt can take almost anyone down. Like, someone approaches you on the street to ask for directions or something. But after that experience, I’m careful about keeping my distance from strangers (well, with guys 😁; I'll take a closer distance with girls 😳). So yeah, those were the only heavy hits I ever took, though honestly, it didn't even start hurting me until later; I couldn't even eat or smell anything for a bit. But whatever, lesson learned🧐 ☕

🙏
After pulling off this exclusive interview, I'm expecting offers from all the top news outlets in the country. 😳
And Larry King37 is going to hate me because he'll think he deserves some credit for it. 😁

Daniel Chavez14 said:🙏
After pulling off this exclusive interview, I'm pretty sure all the big news outlets are going to be knocking on my door. 😳
And Larry King37 is probably gonna be salty because he'll think he actually had something to do with it. 😁

I won't hold a grudge, really, but isn't this all getting a little wild? Is it just me, or are Che, Jamie Fowler2, Daniel Chavez14, me (Larry King37), and Kung Fu Monkey actually the same person???🤣 🤣 🤣 A split personality situation??? We're basically just interviewing ourselves at this point, haha...

2ruggedfalcon2... Wow, didn't realize you were such a sensitive soul... My bad if I stepped on any toes there...😬

Larry King37 said:Che... I didn't realize you were such a sensitive soul—easily bruised by a single wrong word... My apologies if I accidentally wounded your feelings...😬

Of course, words cut much deeper than actions ever could.😢 ☕

hehe... didn't realize I was you, ruggedfalcon2 🙂

Jamie Fowler2 said:hehe... didn't realize I was you, ruggedfalcon2 🙂

you guys are all ruggedfalcon2 🙂 ☕

ruggedfalcon2, don't you think you're overdoing it with the coffee? 😁

that’s just a woman’s cup...

Austin Phillips3 said:Che, you sure you aren't overdoing it on the caffeine? 😁

Jamie Fowler2 said:it's just a Zen cup...

Che has already explained that more than once...

Jamie Fowler2 said:it's just a Zen cup...

👍 honestly, I think you might be my clone😠 ☕

ruggedfalcon2, our readers are curious about why you changed your signature. Are you actually being serious this time, or is this just one of those cases where the packaging changes but the contents stay exactly the same?

(Just to clear up any confusion, I’m talking about your current signature which reads:
…I’ve always had a soft spot for cracking jokes and poking fun at morons, idiots, and jerks... I never used to get angry at them, but messing with them was honestly just my way of relaxing and staying in good spirits; my teacher taught me a long time ago that the best response to an insult is an insult, and that most of it is just unnecessary noise, whether it amuses me or not... but last night, I made a decision! I'm done insulting and messing with morons, idiots, and jerks... at the end of the day, they're people too)

I'm being serious... only time will tell if I can actually stick to it. 🙂 😘

ruggedfalcon2 said:I'm dead serious. Time will tell if I can actually stick to this. 🙂 😘

No doubt, but is that just part of your charm or did you decide to do it specifically because of that? 😁

Amanda Williams2 said:I'm not sure, but is that just part of your charm—or did you decide specifically because of it? 😁

😘 The decision goes much deeper than that and it's happening; as for the charm... that stays regardless 😉 🙂
