Grandpa Joe was a filthy, lazy, unwashed drain on societies resources


He hadn't got out of bed for 20 years, yet was, as evidenced by his dancing quite capable of movement and could have been working and providing for his family the last 2 decades.

What a filthy, disgusting man.

This movie has just been on TV. Dancing you say. The old bastard was running round the bed whilst the other members of his orgy stared open-mouthed at him.
I just wish Wonka had pushed him out of that f_ucking elevator.

He could ruin an election with a YouTube video.

He also sings 'I've got a golden ticket!' after Charlie returns with the ticket he'd found... Dodgey old man

reply

OOOOhhhh! Don't get me started. He should have been tied to a pole in the garden and poked with a sharp stick.

"Society's" not "societies"....who's really the drain?

Who's really the drain?
I'll go for the grammar nazi!

reply

I'll go with the people who don't know basic writing skills and take a children's movie entirely too seriously.

reply

Or the person who is so uptight about it they can't see the joke!8

reply

Jokes are funny.

reply

Seeing as it has taken you nearly six months to come up with that razor sharp retort I guess you have trouble getting jokes.

If those pen pushers up at city hall don't like it,well, they swivel on this middle digit!

I just got the email alert. And I have a life.

And yet here you are!
How's that working out for you?

reply

You're not exactly Hemingway yourself, I'd leave the criticisms to someone with a better sense of prose... or just more sense in general.

reply

I said "basic writing skills." Hemingway would not be an example of that.

reply

Well, Hemingway is a perfect example of a very direct and simple style of prose, but I feel you've completely missed my point. You don't have to be Hemingway, but if you're going to criticise someones grammar on the internet, the least you could do is not write like retard.


reply

Thank you for illustrating that you're an a$$hole. The word "retard" is no longer used by polite society. Because I didn't write like Hemingway, I'm not allowed to point out glaring grammarical errors? No, sorry, your comparison falls flat. You're grasping at straws and looking pathetic in the process.

reply

Wow, I bet you're a lot of fun at parties.

I specified you don't need to write like Hemingway, and you respond "because I don't write like Hemingway".... really? and I'm the one whose argument falls flat? You had to invent a way out of your own argument rather than formulate an intelligent rebuttal. You sir, are the definition of a tool.


While I'm sure this little grammar-check you jumped on was your biggest achievement of 2013 --and i'm glad you're going strong all these years later-- I really don't have the time for your unique brand of internet bitch-fit. I just wanted to offer some advice: you should have basic writing skills, if you're going to criticise someone else for not having them. Are you still allowed to point out their mistake? Sure, nobody said you couldn't, just that you sound like a jackass when that's all you have to offer. And when you lack such skills yourself, the added bonus of sounding like you might be an idiot.

reply

Bump

If those pen pushers up at city hall don't like it,well, they swivel on this middle digit!

reply

Yeah, I know it's been five years, but nobody criticized grammar. It was spelling that was criticized.

reply

who is not whos...

reply

Oh dear. you don't know do you?
Grandpa Joe ran the whole scam from his bed. He was the head honcho, the Don. Everything revolved around him. For instance, how do you think he got his tobacco or that chocolate bar for Charlie (that he insist Charlie tells nobody else about)?
Charlies mother cashes the four checks and then with permission from Don Joe buys a chocolate bar for Charlie (that he must only share with Joe). The rest of the money is used for Joe's filthy smoking habit. The family must then live off sock soup.

Bats, are they really blind or are they taking the piss?

reply

Ha ha, and bump it again.

If you even dream about shooting me, you'd better wake up and apologize!!!

reply

if the story takes place in an economic time like today then she would cash the 4 checks and still not have enough money to live off of


and the checks are getting smaller


"Dont take a picture of the fire, PUT IT OUT"

reply

IS a filthy, lazy unwashed drain on society's resources.

reply

Surely he's dead by now?

It wasnt me, it was the other three. Hang them!

reply

Lol good point. Cant disagree

reply

When I was a kid I thought Grandpa Joe was a douche bag because his family was living on cabbage broth yet he still smoked tobacco.

reply

Jesus! All these anti-Grandpa Joe comments! I'd much rather argue about the children..!

Hateful a$$holes. you just can't help yourselves.

Typical old sponging pensioner, always crying poor but always has enough money for the smoke.
Hides food from his friends.
Can't get out of bed until there's a free handout involved.
As soon as someone show's him a little hospitality, he doesn't think twice about stealing from them, then when the gravy train's over tries to royally screw 'em.

Stupid old c_nt

reply

Amen to that!

It wasnt me, it was the other three. Hang them!

reply

How do you even know there was a pension in willy wonka world, but I did always wonder why he had been bed bound for 20 years when clearly there was nothing wrong with him!!!

reply

Ikr! Those old *beep* were just living off the taxpayers for 20 years while having orgies in their pyjamas and waiting for that self righteous little s**t to bring them fancy food. Willy Wonka should be recycling them in his machines to make more candy lol

reply

Can't let this thread slip off the board
Bump

You're old enough to kill, but not for voting....

reply

No kidding. "I got no right buyin' tobacco..."

WTF clued you in, Gramps? The cabbage water or the loaf-of-bread-as-banquet analogy?

What I couldn't believe is how the bastard just ASSUMED that HE was the one that to go to the Wonka factory with Charlie!

AND WTF with the slippers under the bed? And WTH did that friggin' nasty-a$$ pajama thing smell like?
