Well, I think it's a perfectly good word. And since I never use it to describe anyone who isn't anything more than stupid, I will continue to use it as I please (or at least until I run into someone who is offended by it). But thanks for the concern.

What's interesting to me here, is that as everyone knows, and certainly you more than most, given our correspondence, I am close minded, sympathetic to facism, and racism, and a classist elitist greedy oppressor of the poor and minorities and really anyone disenfranchised in our society or the world. You on the other hand are progressive and open minded and rightously against everything I am so immorally for. And yet, despite these differences, when I relay a story, where I used a word that has some common connotation, yet otoh, has gained some offensiveness in our modern day society, and I note that I no longer use the word, even if my use is not intended to offend (i.e. I put perceptions of the unintended passerby over my intentions), you respond essentially that anyone elses perceptions or sensibilities are meaningless to you, as long as your use is not directed to offend them.

And I am the asshole.

No. It's rarely any of those things. But at least I don't get a hard-on posting ridiculous shit using a sock and hoping everyone will think it's real. Or worse yet, post 100 million times with the goal to simply annoy or win a k.

For the most part what you call ridiculous shit is true. Whether you believe it or not.
As for the K races, they are what they are and always have been.

I don't think anyone has a right to put something there that is not acceptable to all other posters just because he or she had the 5000th post of the previous thread and because this is what has happened every single other time a new thread has started. Moreover, I am very angry that I have to read this new thread title every time I read the board, except I don't really have to read it, I suppose, because I generally just go to the Forums page and click on the little symbol that brings me to the last post, and the specific thread title does not show up there, although I guess the thread title is always sitting up there at the top of the page, but I generally do not look there either. Anyhoo, I'm really mad about those instances over the next 5000 posts, or however many we have left, that I will happen to glance at the thread title because it is the worst thread title ever in the wold, maybe the universe.

O.K., sorry about the off-topic post. Today I am wearing a light grey Theory sport coat with broad grey vertical stripes, a white Geoffrey Beene dress shirt, and pleated (!!!) lightweight grey pants.

Today I am wearing navy blue Hind running shorts, a grey Hanes t-shirt with the stylish logo of a defunct cafe and New Balance running shoes.

Well, not yet, but in a few hours.

5. The thread title sucks. If the only way to get rid of it is for someone else to get to post #5000 on this thread, I'd vote in favor of a flurry of one-word posts to get there quickly. It would be less annoying than looking at this title for a long time. And I'm someone who generally likes the real-life Penske.

1. I retired after that sock. More seriously, that was an innocent reference to a long standing joke between us. A bit of a reminiscence. I apology that it offended you and won't use it again.

5. No apologies on this one.

I don't remember a specific example. Like I said, it was hazy. Perhaps it was wishful thinking.

In light of the earlier posts about dreams, I had a strange one last night. I dreamed that my neighbor on one side was putting up a fence between our properties. It didn't bother me too much because he's the block Lawn Nazi and then he wouldn't have any reason to nag me about at my less-than-garden-magazine- worthy yard. But then the guys on the other side decided to move their (existing) fence about 3 feet over the property line and dug up my lilacs and most of my flower bed. In my dream I was sobbing about the flower bed** so much that I was surprised my face wasn't wet from crying when I woke up.

I think it means I should mow my lawn tonight so the Lawn Nazi doesn't scowl at me.

**Actually, I'm not that emotionally invested in my yard, hence the less-than-garden-magazine condition.

Expect the painless-removal-of-your-left-nut knock on the door later today.

If only. I'm lubed up and ready, just in case.

This idea has merit. Maybe we could be a little more creative with it though.

Free-association or something.

That title was free association for me.

For a wingnut, you have a lot of hate and insensitivity. no offence.

I'm wearing the brown and turquoisey-tealy blue that is so ubiquitous these days.

This guy sounds kinda like Lazlo from Real Genius.

*sigh* I miss the hot Val Kilmer. Or the non-wacko Val Kilmer.

2. I was going to post that exact same thing, but you beat to it.

Well played, playah, well played indeed.

Jesus. I have never made one of those lists either. About 10 years ago, while drunk, a friend (male fwiw) and I tried to name everyone that we had ever slept with, and we gave up. I thank the superior being every day that I'm disease-free.

I actually tried to do this once too. And was feeling pretty smug that I knew the first and last name of everyone I'd had sex with. Until I got to "Tom the Bartender". It was all downhill from there.
