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.

By Jesse Bogan 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.
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.
That wasn't what I had in mind...............
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.
Yes, it's not fair, but it's the way it is. Humor me.
That is WAY better than "humoring me". That's COMEDY...from my brain to your keyboard...
;^)
SCG is a poster on another site. You don't want to be in this loop, that's for sure.
Come hither, Cook. We'll only redden you a teensy weensy bit.
