I don't see what it has to do with scalping concert tickets, though.
In some parts of the world, if you sit down in someone else's presence and expose your hippo to them, it's a deadly insult.

bilmore, I'm not so sure it wasn't a semi-nonsense term w/o any ethnic slur.
no Jewish people from here had heard of the slur, my wife's family have never heard of the slur, and if it was a slur, would ebay have stuffed animals? SS, quick look up kikey the bear.

Warm fuzzy topics for Friday afternoon

This might be one of the most sportsmanlike gestures from a US athlete in years.

Evoking Chariots of Fire, Michael Phelps gives up spot on relay team so that teammate has opportunity to win gold medal in final

(of course, Phelps gets the same medal anyway, because he competed in the preliminaries)

Thanks to everyone for all the ideas and suggestions. I know that I have lots to think about.

After I decide where to go, will the FB denizens of that city throw a "Welcome to _________, RL" happy hour?

I agree. Not to get too warm & fuzzy, but there was some swimmer yesterday that I was impressed with - the guy who came second in the Peirsol race and would have received gold if Peirsol was dq'd. He was so obviously supportive of Peirsol that an injustice was being done. It was very genuine and nice to see.

Dear Old Navy Assistant Managers:

If a 14-year-old girl hands you a preprinted card explaining she has Crohn's Disease, do not call the Manager for guidance. Just let her use the fucking bathroom already. {Spree: If you don't know me by now, you will never never never know me, oooooooh.}

Hebrew 101 or Modern Yid for the Old Minnesotan

shapeshifter43: fwiw, I had never heard mockie
paigowprincess: I am a jew and its a term used by jews to talk about other jews who have no class

paigowprincess: the jews who give otehr jews a bad nameso I dont see hows its racist
shapeshifter43: this just becomes funnier and funnier
paigowprincess: so you have fucking bilmore, who is old enough to know it refers to jews and thats it, assuming its tantamount to KIKE
paigowprincess: meanhwile he probalby doesntg know any jews
shapeshifter43: he does not know enough about it to appreciate the distinction
shapeshifter43: he just knows it's a derogatory term and that it involves jews somehow
paigowprincess: and the thing about the term is that its FUCKING YIDDISH so that its used B Y JEWS ONLY (well, schmuch has become popular but noone knwos MOCKIE). however, the beauty of the tmer is that I can call another jew a mockie and nobody will know what I am talking about, except another jew

I'm older than you, I think, and the term was used fairly regularly back when I was a younger teen. It had an understood meaning. PP's older than you, too, I think. She used it in a post decrying str8's side habit of reselling tickets, an activity she has dissed many times as an undeserved skimming of money. Back in the days, "mokie" was a (much) ruder form of "Shylock". Her context tells me she knew exactly what it meant.

I liked that too, and I liked how his support was caught on tape before the commentators had a chance to analyze it.

I'm also a big fan of Peirsol's eyes, among other things.

The cynic's view --

Hmmm... I can give up my spot to another world class swimmer, not have to swim anymore, look like a saint for letting someone else compete, sit back and enjoy the race, and STILL collect a medal for the effort.

That's what I call a WIN/WIN scenario...

Granted, and his calculus might have been different were prelim. guys not awarded medals. But, still, most of these guys are sufficiently arrogant that their attitude is "you need me on that wall" and getting a medal because someone else won it for you in the finals is a medal in name only.

If your destination is Los Angeles, sure!

Though I've only been here a while, already I've noticed that this place has a magnetic effect. So who knows? Maybe you'll end up here.

Either it's LA or it's me -- not sure which. To test the theory, I'm considering what is apparently a pretty common exercise out here -- starting a cult.
