Well, okay then. Because I may have taken it the wrong way and out of some sorta respect for a veteran, I will reset my opinion button to disregard my belief that you had shit on my head in public for unintentionally puking up a fucking smarmy brit word. My opinion is now however shaped by the thought of you lighting the filter-end of a smoke like a fucking moron -- and yes, I would laugh.

I can't really do an apology for my possibly misplaced vent though because I figured out early in my life that I only have the capacity for one meaningful apology EVER and thus am saving it in case the whole God-thing isn't a farce and I have to do some serious repenting for all of the fucking crap I have pulled and shall pull in the future.

I think I missed the tennis convo, but do you play tennis here in DC? I need to find some folks to play with.

Oh - I don't really know for sure - they may have lifted it again. Consistency is not a big thing Toronto city hall. (this month, garbage pickup will be Monday and Wednesday, and just for kicks, next month it will be Tuesday and Friday - oh and for the next six months all city workers will be on strike)

Even though he sucks, Josh did well enough last night to stay on. Kimberly will go home (Josh should go home, but now I don't think he will). Ruben doesn't do it for me. Clay should win.

Is the next kick-off tonight?

I don't know, Paigow. I like this one much better.

Although you seem to have nailed the one type you did get.

I bought a few and they all seemed stupid, especially after the kid was actually here.

You post something over here about something no one is talking about. You're mad that no one is talking about it. And you would be mad if people were, because people talked about it in the past and it mad you mad then. When someone responds to you, you're pissed off. I'm guessing if no one responded you would be pissed off too

What the flying fuck are you talking about?

It is a proven fact (somewhere, in one of those stupid fucking parenting books) that young children are narcissistic. Most outgrow it but some grow up to be partners or people who buy lots of shoes. I don't care much if the Little Fan right now doesn't give much of a fuck about other people (so long as the little shit doesn't get me sued or something) because, well, he is supposed to be sorta self-centered at his age, but I started early on making sure that he is nice to animals (I have lots of cats) and understood that he was to love and not to hurt them. This is in part because I love my cats and in part because I didn't want him to grow up to be a fucking Dahmer. I figured I could short-circuit any Dahmer-tendencies by getting him to respect animals (and bugs and shit like that -- fuck people).

Thrashers(then the fire ants stung him when he was "petting" them - what a dumbass)Fan

Kids who aren't nice to animals will never, ever be allowed in my house. Because if one attacks the other, I'm invariably going to take the pet's side.

If kids are not nice to each other in my presence, I won't interfere unless the parents ask me, so long as they still appear physically intact and aren't getting blood on my couch.

Maybe Mel decided the additional smokers hack would confuse the WHO inspectors?

They are actually quite handy if you need something heavy to beat your kid's ass with.

Yeah. how sad am I that Josh didn't suck more? Although Jive Talkin' was pretty damn bad. If I was an audience member and saw him barrelling down the aisle at me, I would wet my pants (and not in a good way).

Tonight at 8:30 is the elimination show. I voted for Clay about 50 times (no, I'm not a fanatic, I just watched some shows I had tivo'd and kept hitting redial every 10 seconds -- not very labor intensive) so I'm sure that will keep him safe. If he is not eliminated tonight, you can thank me.

Dont get all fucking midwesty preachy on ThrashersFan. I happen to think she sounds like a fabulous parent. She takes her kid out to sporting event,s makes sure he respects animals, doesnt waste her valuable time that could be spent getting to work faster so she could get home sooner for him and doesnt take him to places where adults are trying to have some fine dine and wine. And she if fucking hilarious. And some of those parenting books are fucking parenting books. I recall reading HERE that what to expect while you are expecting is pretty bad.

so keep your little one liners about her parenting abilities to herself unless you actually know her.

(I wont comment about her smacking her kid on the ass)

I can't believe I forgot to vote again. Crimony. I need to be focused while watching AI rather than drinking wine and smoking cigarettes. Thanks for pulling my weight for Clay.

Then you're successfully defeating one of the Serial Killer Triumvirate of late bed wetting, animal torture, and fire-starting. Where they coincide, watch out.

Of course, Kafka (ours, that is --- don't be difficult) observed on the Stalin FB that the most successful parenting can be entirely overriden by giving your child the middle name "Wayne." Some parenting mistakes have lasting and permanent effects, I guess.

Bad_Rich_Chic · 05-07-2003, 05:01 PM

So, is it just me or did absolutely nothing of any interest at all happen last night?
