Word For The Day, Monday
5/5/03

Posted on 05/05/2003 12:03:04 AM PDT by Bella_Bru

In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of “word for the day”. Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the “word of the day”; in a sentence. The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-) Practice makes perfect.....post on....


Ok, it has been brought to my attention that some things were said somewhere else and were attributed to me and my feelings for WFTD. Originally, I was not going to be harsh, in fact I was going to apologize. Upon futher consideration though, I have decided I have nothing to apologize for. Let's take this step by step, shall we?

1. First off, I do not dislike WFTD nor do I dislike any of you. I rather do like you all quite a bit.
2. Second, I think my own thoughts, I have my own feelings. The person who I am with is NOT MY FREAKING SPOKESPERSON. Therefore, DO NOT ASSUME ANYONE ELSE'S WORDS ARE MINE. Believe it or not, even though I am female I do not rely on a male to provide my thoughts and feelings for me. People that do that are weak.
3. If you have any more ASSUMPTIONS or questions, you can FReepmail me, instead of having a FReepmail whisper-a-thon with each other, okie dokie?

Onto our WFTD.

Interesting thread I posted with some 'interesting' and humorous comments . . .

Thong-clad biker has some eyes sore -
San Antonio man get complaints, says he has rights


Excerpt:

Thong-clad biker has some eyes sore

 
San Antonio Express-News
 
Web Posted : 05/05/2003 12:00 AM
 
Though he appears nearly naked from time to time, Joseph Gottschalk is legally covered.

Joseph Gottschalk causes controversy by choosing to wear the minimum amount of clothing required by law while bicycling. The thong-clad Gottschalk was riding in his neighborhood near Southside Lions Park on Saturday.

"Don't they call that a thong? I think it's disgusting," said Norm Sutton, 66, of the undressed man who rides his bike around Southside Lions Park.

San Antonio Park Police have received several complaints over the past month about a man who cruises on a bicycle wearing only shoes and a thong — a swimsuit or undergarment that doesn't cover the buttocks.

"This is unique, let me tell you. Normal general public doesn't do that," said Park Police Capt. Raymond Castro. "But he's within his civil rights and legal rights to wear his thong."

According to state law, no offense is committed if the man has "his anus and genitals" covered, Castro said. Which the thong does, if nothing else.

Gottschalk, 52, an unemployed truck driver who dabbles in carpentry, is aware of his rights and compares riding nearly naked to driving the maximum legal speed limit.

"It doesn't take much clothing to take care of the requirement," he said. "I call it exhibitionism.

"We all claim to believe in the value of personal liberty, but we don't," he said. "No one person has the right to outrank the law and tell me what to wear."

Ed Mitchell, 63, a retired Bexar County deputy who frequents the park, shook his head at the fine line that keeps Gottschalk from going to jail for indecent exposure or disorderly conduct.

"That little bit he's got on, a fig leaf would probably cover more than that," he said.

I saw nothing wrong with the post, so it must of been pulled as a result of a nuking of a poster.

I think it was because anytime anyone sees Rodney King, the first thing that comes to mind is abuse!

It's a mystery to me why it was pulled. There is a poster names Rodney King, but he is still around I think.

I do not control what others say.

True. You control what *you* say. I think you have an account at that other place (at least someone did in December when posting there under your name), and you could have posted something rather than just let things go on. The way it went, your silence indicated that you agreed with SCG vis the lack of mental accuity of your average WFTD poster.

I can't blame any person who read the words that I won't repeat or link for feeling more than a little hurt.

I did register on LP. I haven't used my account since late December, and I didn't feel any need to go on that thread over there and say anything. If people did have a question, they could have asked me over here. RikaStrom was the only who did. Slip18 sent me an encouraging note.

I knew that someone here would see it, and really, I gave folks here more credit than to believe what they read elsewhere. More credit to at least ask me personally or drop me a note. 2 people, out of how many, bothered to just that. 2 people, that's it.

Welcome to life as a "public person". It's not adequate to just sit back and wait for private correspondance when you're "teacher".

Yes, it's not fair, but it's the way it is. Humor me.

Who is SCG? Do I have a long-lost cousin? Did someone put too much caffeine in the class thermos?

Out of the loop again, but that's probably a good thing. :)
FWIW, I would only choose to hang around with the witty and/or the brilliant, which describes the majority of the students here.

Aren't we, though? LOL!

SCG is a poster on another site. You don't want to be in this loop, that's for sure.

That would be our Cook, SG. He's a master of all trades except for cooking. Can't even boil water. Poor thing.

Forgot to ask this, too: How are your hands after Slap Jack? I had to tell Cyber what the game was.

Do you want to show Cook how to play Slap Jack, SJ?

Come hither, Cook. We'll only redden you a teensy weensy bit.
