The Hobbit Hole XXIII - Let them go! Let them go!

Where's the kilt?

Good luck on the interview! And don't sit next to guys without underwear!

[HairOfTheDog]

I had an interview with a guy who I didn't realize was barefoot, till a piece of paper fell on the floor and he picked it up with his toes and put it back on the desk. I didn't comment on it and neither did he. I think it was unrelated that I got the job.

He was a weird guy.... wetland scientist, always walked around barefoot in the office because he was constantly spraying some foul-smelling medicine on his Plantar's warts.

Hey... now... are *you* the one that got that thread pulled? I had a *brilliant* reply all typed up and now it is gone. :-(

:-)

[HairOfTheDog]

No, I didn't have it pulled, I never hit abuse. But I was embarrassed by it and I am glad it's gone. The story, as a news event, is big news, and I hope it gets reposted with a healthier tone. But I'm a hopeless delusional optimist :~D

[cyborg]

Not me either but I'm glad it's gone. BTW, I finally finished Fellowship of the Rings. I've been bogged down in meaningless trifles of life that I've not had time to do some hardcore reading.

[HairOfTheDog]

Well, the thing about books is they'll wait till you're done with meaningless trifles ;~D

[Ramius]

Well... there you go again...

I'm not sure it was as big a problem as you said... but maybe it was. But the larger point is whether we can convince some Rangers to party in the Square for the next N number of weeks and/or months.

Now THAT would be worth the price of admission.

[cyborg]

Good point :-)

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

What thread are y'all talking about?

[Ramius]

My post that didn't make it was about the Rangers in Tacoma that reclaimed a few blocks of the hilltop under force of arms and sheer cajones. Seems like maybe a similar thing could happen again.

[HairOfTheDog]

It might be, but I'd rather when our troops come home they go someplace more pleasant than to suffer barfights with thugs.

Those guys that did it are thugs and I want them caught. There was just too much of the wrong sort of blood-lust on that thread, and it was so pervasive and so hard to nail down to a particular post or poster I found myself a bit overwhelmed.

[Ramius]

What thread are y'all talking about?

Oh, nothing... the one that Hair got all pissy about and caused to have pulled. :-) [kidding!]

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

If it's the one I'm thinking of, then I saw it before it got pulled.

[cyborg]

It was deleted but not one of FR finest moments.

[HairOfTheDog]

[HairOfTheDog]

It was this story:

komo news | Police Need Your Help In Capturing Beating Suspects About two soldiers, just back from Iraq, who were beaten severely outside a bar in Seattle.

Something I wish FReepers could be both united and righteous about.

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Yep, saw the thread, apparently before whatever got posted that caused it to be pulled.

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Anyway, good night.

[cyborg]

Good night!
