Hank is old enough to have a 13-yr-old? Hank, please, tell me that you and your wife had some kind of illicit affair at age 14 but decided to stick it out and raise the kid yourselves.

Fringey -- a little reading comprehension please (although perhaps it is I who should follow this advice -- only Hank can tell us definitively -- Hank?).

I think what he was saying that when Mr. Creepmeister is doin' it with Mrs. Creepmeister, he sees the face of Hank's lovely wife -- but is seeing the face of Mrs. Chinaski at age 13 (although that's a little young for high school -- perhaps you're right fringe...). Hank never mentions the age of his daughter.

Hank, in the future, please endeavor to make your pronouncements a little less ambiguous. We're all very confused.

Hank -- get thee to the FBI -- pronto.

What is Hank going to tell the FBI? That his wife's former middle school teacher has a crush on his wife and, on that basis, he suspects the guy is now a sex abuser using his position as principal to arrange orgies with 12 year old girls? I don't doubt that the FBI would open a file after this call, but Hank does not need that kind of trouble.

What is the rule on "of" and the possessive apostrophe? It seems like you'd either say "I'm your mom's friend" or "I'm a friend of your mom."

The of indicates a possessive form. Whichever way he says it, he's trying to tell the child that he belongs to her mom. So the apostrophe stays. It's good to know that there are still some good people in the educational system.

That's fair. I don't know what throwing a kettle over a pub means. Mystery abounds.

Or maybe that's ignorance. Whichever.

oh dtb you are too kind to fringe. for you to blemish your own spotless credibility by making an intentional reading comprehension error (it was middle school) , so fringe doesn't seem so inept; why it makes me ashamed of when I say mean things to her.

In NY they have police stings for this type of shit. Janine Pirro of Westchester has cops posing as 13 year old girls on-line to corner these scum of the earth types. So, it's not as frivolous as one would think. Splitting hairs as to whether it would be FBI or local or county 5-0.

I note that this "actor" that married Mira gets less hits on the internet than I do. Plus he does not have a suitable pedigree for my fair Mira. You would think Paul would have had this guy capped. True she is young and did not take as challenging of courses as Lisa Shue, but still.


In other news, is this normal:

A person with a gun is a citizen.
A person without a gun is a subject.

Bumper sticker on right side:

I figured the teacher, since he is newly interested in the wife after seeing her grown up, is seeing her adult face. Therefore, the 13-yr-old must be the kid. But I was not reading carefully and/or I am stupid (and fat, though that is of dubious relevance here).

How old is your kid, Hank?

And really, rp, is a double possessive correct?

I had better grammar at 13 than I do now.

good thinking fringe- this gives me a way to engage and criticize his behavior on at least one level w/o going all the way to the FBI

"Fewer" not "less" -- this kind of shit may be why you are not with Mira.

That seems totally normal, though since you didn't include information on the placement of the "In the event of Rapture, this vehicle will be abandoned" sticker and the placement and exact nature of the pro-life sticker, the evaluation is incomplete.

Hmm, you might be right. I was just killing time while waiting for dtb to weigh in, who, by the way, in my mind, looks like Diane Lane.

What is really creepy is that Wanker pretends to be a lawyer on this board just to get closer to your kid through you and your wife.

Well, Mr. I-Know-What-the-FBI-Cares-About-and-It's-Not-This, I was under the (perhaps mistaken) impression that the FBI concerns itself with middle-aged dudes who are interested in forming inapporpriate relationships (and really, why would this guy try to contact Hank's daughter if not to form an inappropriate relationship?) with minors.

I am glad to be unburdened of my misimpression. Many thanks.

So my wife had a male middle school art teacher that she found influential, inspiring blah blah blah.

Once when we're back in town we go to introduce our kids to him. Point is he has only seen wife once since she graduated.

A few years later she goes to school webpage and sends him an email. They start writing. After a few months she gets an email saying:

1) he is unhappy in his marriage
2) when he "makes love" to his wife he sees my wife's face.
3) he knows they would be happy together
4) he wants to come out here and see her.

So she says, sorry no*, and they should not be in touch anymore. Meanwhile we're creeped because we're afraid he might come here and start stalking. Plus, we're creeped because the "face" he remembers is a 13 year old girl's face, and the guy is now the principal at the school.

Anyway, we don't hear from, or see him, for a year. Then when looking at the IM my daughter recieves I happen to see a screen name with his name in it, message "Hi, I'm a friend of your mom's- can we be friends too?"

*I know she is probably fucking him behind my back- maybe right now while I'm laboring here at the Company.

I doubt he would make any move on your daughter if he's really fucking your wife.

Wierd that, the way you throw this in almost as an afterthought. Do you really believe that he and Mrs. Chinaski are doing the horizontal bop? And if so, is that cool as long as he keeps his hands off your daughter?

This whole thing cries out for either further explanation, or an acknowledgement that you were bored and felt like yanking some chains.
