In the old days, when someone wanted you to apologize it was for something you had done to them. And the way it worked was they would ask you for an apology and you would tell them to go screw themselves. But we live in a new age where apologies are done differently. Nowadays, the way apologies work is that you demand that someone you don't personally know apologize to someone else that you don't personally know. This is another form of modern outsourcing and, as such, has become quite the rage in the more technologically sophisticated areas of the United States.
As a result, in order to keep up with the times, I am creating this Apology Thread and starting it off with my own demands for apologies from people I have never met. First, I demand that George Lucas apologize to Star Wars fans for writing and directing Stars Wars Episodes 1, 2 and 3 and that he further apologize to movie fans in general for producing Howard the Duck. Second, I demand that Norm Coleman apologize to the good people of the state of Minnesota for losing to Al Franken in the 2008 senatorial race. And because this race had national implications, Norm Coleman may want to consider expanding his apology to include the citizens of all these United States. Third, I demand that Madonna apologize to Kabbalah worshippers for joining their religion and thereby making a mockery of it.
Now that I have issued my apology demands, I would like to invite my fellow freepers to issue their own apology demands to people they don't know.
And lastly, because I don't want this post to end on a purely negative note, I would like to personally thank Mitchell Mortaza for founding the Women's Lingerie Football League. Mitchell, if you are reading this, I just want to say "Never Give Up! Never Surender!"

The one thought that gives me solice wrt folks like Jane Fonda is that, though I may not ever see thier punishment, it will happen...in this world, or the next.
Yer still a freakin’ hero. ;o)
Ha! Those unsanitary reusable bags are made in China! lol
It was just 16 years ago that because lumber was to be protected, they introduced the be all and end all...the plastic bag. I always hated them because when I put them in my trunk, they rolled around and I had to repack every single bag.
Now, if we don’t have the reusable bags, we get paper bags.
Face palm...
“Sap & Trade!”
Ohhhh...that is goood...really goood!
Hero? Go on. (blush)
Just do’n my duty.
Doin’ yer duty, and doin’ it manly...and humbly.
That’s just part of what makes you a hero.
Here's a better one...
(I'll apologize for this one later)
No problem, Sonny! ;-D
And, of course, I apologize to anyone who may be more enamored with pug-like features, despite how unattractive I personally find them to be.
Wow! I don’t normally criticize ones personal appearance not being perfect myself but she should help a plastic surgeon pay his mortgage. That nose!!!
I apologize for thinking that is a guy, and I hope that it isn’t a female relative of yours, and I like the nose too.
I apologize for offending your tender sensibilities with that photo.
No it’s not a relative of mine, but in point of fact, I find that young lady quite attractive. I was being serious about that.
I have always found women with prominent features attractive. Take a look at my page (recently restored with some alterations) and scroll to the bottom for a photo of me and Mrs Shibumi.
She might not be to everyone’s taste, but I think she’s beautiful.
She is lovely. You look really good together, mostly because she’s in the picture.
You look a lot like my dad, features and expression, except he was always clean shaven.
Yes, your wife is quite lovely and I apologize if my comment seemingly questioned your taste.
I’ve never understood it myself but I’ve never found a prominent nose attractive myself - different tastes for different people!!
I’m sorry to ask this long afterwards, but is that a nose stud she is wearing or is something on my monitor?
I apologize for not making it clear when I posted it.
It’s a nose stud on your monitor.
That’s Treebeard from “The Lord of the Rings”.
