Sad news for Thrasher
 

This post reminded me of last night's Joe Schmo Show for some reason. I would like to see Dr. Pat help out dear Thurgreed with his anger. Time for a breathing exercise. Get that red out!

But then, I am just one of those nondescript n people. Please, continue with your ranting.

Not always. And every other girl hates her.

Lunch?

Ridiculous. I thought the warnings were for work-related reasons only. If it isn't going to threaten your job, there needn't be a warning.

Oh, that's a good sign.

Yeah Bilmore, there's a whole bunch of us who weren't even paying attention...

Dearest, you are forgetting that all women are catty and envious and insecure and thus we hate any woman we perceive as more attractive than ourselves, and pity/despise any woman who is less attractive.

A Tip for Thurgreed
 

Seems like an awkward initial party question.

The warning doesn't come only from threatening your job, but from how people feel about seeing it, i.e. when whomever it was posted the link to the woman who had jumped off a building.

Not on par with that, but personally, I don't like looking at images of animals hit by cars as a joke, and I would have appreciated a warning, which would have kept me from opening it.

So there will be warnings for such things.

No, it's just that they exist. You know one or two. She eats well, rarely exercises but is thin but isn't thin enough to be bulemic. And you know this b/c you've met her mom, who at 55 is still shaped like she was when she was 25. Some people are just lucky like that.

Wait a second. Are you the fucking UPS guy? Because I want a word with you.

Hey, this reminds me of the time I quoted "Office Space," and Wonk thought I was actually being anti-Semitic, and I totally turned all red and was like, "I apologize," which then completely ended the discussion, which was over anyway.

Good times, good times.

Feeeeeeed Meeeeeeee
 

Yes, but if everyone hates her, either (a) she's a bitch* or (b) the "everyones" in question are pretty insecure/immature, and they'd be either your friends or her friends. Not a good sign if all friends of either yours or hers are insecure/immature.

*This may be immaterial, because, as you said, she's HOT and can pick her nose and stuff at dinner.

I'd just like to say
 

Everyone is very prickly today I am noticing. What's the deal? (Not that it is a bad thing I'm just curious.) Do you think it is cause tomorrow is the 11th or what?

And speaking of the 11th, should we do anything special on the board for this?

"Melissa Stark set the bar too high"
 

No.

We want Suzy Kolber and we get her on ESPN sunday nights.

Of course, once Jason Taylor retires, we'd like to see him wearing very tight shirts on the sidelines of MNF.

A Tip for Thurgreed
 

First of all, her name was Myrtle. Again, pay attention.

Second of all, if you would like, I will explain how it could come up. If the group of people were discussing their children and or child birth (I'm sure you've taken part in one of these discussions), and everyone has contributed, the joke would not be inappropriate.

Can't wait for your next brilliant post. Something along the lines of "But what about their sister's daughter's best friend who has that problem?"

This reminds me of the time I first appeared on the board and a suggestion from me that someone consult their pastor led to charges of antisemitism and nastiness that I, at least, never expected from such an innocent statement.

Let me say in defense of GGG and TM that children are a gift from God. They should be cherished. Why any of you would attack someone for stating this fundamental truth is beyond me. And as for those with fertility issues, you clearly feel that children are a gift, since you clearly want children. I hope that you find a way to deal with those fertility issues and I hope that you find a way to fill your life, as well, with children. But I do not see the offense.

God Bless.

Not my friends. Typical catty/jealous bitches. The ones (with the special metabolisms) I know are pretty nice...I bet GWINKY is one of them (it sounds so from her posts), and she's pretty friendly...

Feeeeeeed Meeeeeeee
 

Coltrane, I might even be one.

And by one, I mean a "lucky" one, that is, a naturally thin non-bulimic woman with a mom who still had her shape at 55. I don't mean a woman who is hated by all the other girls.

Then again, I might not be one. I might be jealous, and that might be the real reason that I am irritated by comments that are impliedly or expressly judgmental about other people's physiques.

I still think you're cute, but seriously, the fact that the other girls "hate" her is really not a good sign.

I'd just like to say
 

I'll defer to the folks from NYC and DC, but in a way I think us carrying on as we always do makes the best statement... The rest of the day will be somber enough.

Feeeeeeed Meeeeeeee
 

Yes, but those are exactly the ones you want - they are truly dedicated.

I'd just like to say
 

I agree. It's not as if any of us are going to forget.

Feeeeeeed Meeeeeeee
 

Yes, but everybody like GWNC, and in your situation, everyone hates the chick.

Edited to add, Dumbass. If you change the hypo, you change the result.

A Tip for Thurgreed
 

You'd think that, but it's not. I get asked that all the time, more or less. I have twins. Twins = fetility treatment in the minds of way too many.

Feeeeeeed Meeeeeeee
 

"Her" is not a real person. And I guess I don't mean hate, so you're right. But from girls who do not know "her", you don't know how many times I've heard "well if I worked out as much as her" or "well if I ate like a bird" or "if I had a personal trainer" then "I could look like that too." Bullshit.

And I think it would be normal of someone to be jealous of someone else b/c they could eat what they want w/out any consequences. I know I'd be jealous of someone who could get shitfaced and not be hungover the next day (in fact, I DO know of someone like this - he has never been hungover - his body must process liquor much much faster than normal. No matter how late he's out, he's up the next day, perfectly fine. He shows no signs of having drank 15 beers the night before. And I'm jealous.)

A Tip for Thurgreed
 

I may be recalling this incorrectly, but I thought it was your comments about Jew-hating that led to the charges of antisemitism.

I'd just like to say
 

Yes, let's put a big old flag on the page. Then we could be patriotic and piss off Ty's dad at the same time.

Feeeeeeed Meeeeeeee
 

Okay okay. You win. No one hates her.

And I hope you ARE one of the chosen ones.

Come on, World Rulers are supposed to be omniscient. I said nothing in any way relating to Judaism. But TM came to my defense with a movie quote that was then charged with being anti-semitic.

Shape-Shifter, I am losing my faith in you as a divine being.

A Tip for Thurgreed
 

It amazes me that people ask these questions! When I was in 8th grade, I asked my pregnant PE teacher -- I have no idea why I did this -- if the pregnancy was an accident. She upbraided me severely; and if she hadn't had to go out on maternity leave I'm not sure I'd be here today. Today I am so cautious that I will not even ask an obviously pregnant woman when her due date is unless she specifically informs me that she is pregnant.

A little middle school embarrassment can go a long way in teaching manners. I also asked a music department secretary why she spent so much money to get a leather interior for her bimmer, and her reaction drove home my mother's lesson that it really is best not to ask people why they do what they do with their money.

Feeeeeeed Meeeeeeee
 

Not particularly. Perhaps GWNC can opine on that . . .

Feeeeeeed Meeeeeeee
 

This is confusing. I don't know whether to hate you or pity you.

I'd just like to say
 

That would be perfect. Ty, will you invite your dad to visit tomorrow?

Feeeeeeed Meeeeeeee
 

Finally, a softball from you.

You hate me. I said I'm not one of the naturally slender HOT chicks -- that doesn't mean I'm frighteningly hideous.

A Tip for Thurgreed
 

Really? Huh. Tripplets I can understand (though I can't see commenting on it), but twins? To be filed away in the "people are 'dupid" drawer I guess. Then again I went to school with two sets of tripplets and four sets of identical twins I can think of offhand, to my knowledge none drug-induced, so maybe that's just me growing up near nuclear waste fill. Congratulations on your wonder-twins!

Oddly, your post reminded me of the rash assumptions I make whenever I see double (or tripple!) strollers with multiple children clearly old enough to have mastered walking sitting in them. But everyone has been touchy today, so I won't go off on my stroller rant. (If you really want to hear it, find any Paigow post about umbrellas and replace umbrellas with "strollers.")

Feeeeeeed Meeeeeeee
 

I'm not really sure what I'm being asked to opine on, but if it helps, I hate you (in a petty, jealous, bitchy way).

Feeeeeeed Meeeeeeee
 

I guess this would indicate I am HOT, in a weird math/logic "If A is greater than B, and C is greater than A, B is less than C" kind of way.

Yay me.

Feeeeeeed Meeeeeeee
 

Consider it the discussion board equivalent of a pity fuck.

A Tip for Thurgreed
 

I don't think negative reinforcement alone will usually instill manners, even in middle school, though it can reinforce them if there is some basic training already there (and it might encourage the clever to acquire some). You are lucky - you had some underlying parental teaching that allowed you to recognize what caused the teachers' outrage. A shocking number of people would have said that the PE teacher was just obviously defensive and had psychological issues relating to her pregnancy, while the music teacher was just mean and obviously a bad teacher for discouraging curiosity, and what do you expect from a TEACHER who doesn't know any better but to waste her money?

Feeeeeeed Meeeeeeee
 

Huh. I guess I will take your word for it, based on your extensive experience with pity fucks.

(This is fun -- I was going to go with self-deprecating but then realized it might be more evidence of submissiveness in the face of robust puppies.)

Feeeeeeed Meeeeeeee
 

She isn't. She's fat and not nearly enough people hate her.
