What's on your mind?

Blind Squirrel,

I would generally agree with you, but not in this case. Here we obviously have a woman who has put herself in the spotlight, with the ambition of gaining fame and all that that entails (adulation, $$, etc.), and with the intention of relying exclusively on her appearance to reap said rewards. She tried to get something for nothing, and now she's paying the price. I like the implicit lesson, and hope that lots of young girls see what happens when you don't prepare and sacrifice to get what you want.

JMO.

I thought it was established that I'm retarded. Remember, I'm a Bomb Squad parent? By the way Skarp, did I mention how much I like your avatard?

Don't know if I agree with all of that (even though I can't stand pageants and what they represent). She competes in pagents. A lot of girls do. These competitions are grueling and very hard work. Hardly getting "something for nothing" or being a fame monger. It's not like she starred in a Paris Hilton sex tape.

I do agree that when you become a public figure, you do open yourself up to ridicule. However we don't need to be overly brutal with young folks.

BTW, love your avatar. MCLOVIN!!! WHYYYYYYY???????? :D

No. Until now you've pretty much only mentioned :o [REDACTED] :o. It's good to see you branching out and taking some risks. At this rate, in another few years and you may actually post something remotely useful (and possibly even in the right forum). Good for you!!

Not cool bud.


Neither is posting your team advertisements in the middle of other discussion threads. Shall we drop it, or shall we continue?

As part of the terms of a settlement agreement between the parties, the terms of which shall remain undisclosed (but which included profuse apologies and a large cash payment to my person), the above post has been redacted.

For the record, any disparaging remarks made by me regarding the above-referenced softball organization emanated from--not to put too fine a point on it--my arse, and were not based on any actual knowledge of, or experience with, said organization. TeeHeeHee

Someone got a PM and a smack across the head.

Oh well, it was good reading while it lasted.

lol...that's hilarious.

But nah...he didn't tattle, and nobody got a smack down. Rather, a much rarer event occurred--we decided to be nice to each other. By next week we could be making sweet love to each other. :mrgreen:

Besides, I think my point has been made.
