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!"
It’s an EnT.
Thanks, Hoagy. I should have recognized him.
I apologize for not having an apology for you on this apology thread. Do you take rain checks?
And I apologize for not realizing that someone like you would jump in and explain the image for me.
I apologized to hoagy since you didn’t.
I apologize it I ruined your opportunity to do it yourself.
I apologize for not know what that abbreviation stood for.
All FReeper misunderstanding must be cleared up on this thread.
I apologize for being obscure and obtuse to the fact that you were being wryly sarcastic in your response to my heavy-handed use of Biblical reference and graphics.
(The part about the picture was a legitimate question, however, since many FReepers who use computers tied to DOD cannot see hotlinks. For all I know, you could be sitting a Langley or Fort Meade.)
LOL! Damn, now that's sorry.
