I Only Roast the Ones I Love: Busting Balls Without Burning Bridges
We All Have an Inner Roastmaster
Our world is full of Roastmasters. Some of them are well known. But most of them are completely unknown. They live amongst us. They live inside of us. They are the part of us that occasionally says out loud what most people only dare think to themselves. The part of us that isn't afraid of severe consequences. The part of us that isn't afraid to die for a laugh. The part of us willing to take a punch from Courtney Love, if necessary.
It is the Roastmaster's belief that gracing someone you admire with unfiltered honesty is the highest form of respect you can pay them -- especially when it's delivered in the form of a well-crafted joke.
Of course, not everyone has the guts to channel their inner Roastmaster. In fact, most people have the good sense NOT to insult people to their faces. Instead, they talk behind people's backs after they leave. They gossip. They whisper. They say mean things. They laugh at the weaknesses of others. This isjust human nature. But a Roastmaster defies human nature. A Roastmaster goes for it. A Roastmaster tells it like it is. A Roastmaster says, "Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke." A Roastmaster kills.Copyright © 2009 by Jeffrey Ross
