Smacking in the Haid

Tagged by choice, from the lovely Melinda June who likes sheep too. And because the NyQuil Hasn't kicked in and the Steven's off to Sesshin:

The Leiderhosen Smack Worthy Offenses
  1. Ultra low-rise jeans with the colored g-strings. Oh, Honey Sweetie Sugar... oh please, please don't.
  2. Deliberate bad parking.
  3. Lunchroom/Kitchen spam. In other words: pamphlets.
  4. Over-plucked eyebrows. Surprise does not mean "younger".
  5. Petulant, spoilt children.
  6. The half drunk four dollar latte abandoned next to a garbage can. What exactly is supposed to be its destiny?
  7. A great busker with an empty hat and a lousy audience.
  8. Pushing, bumping, shoving. Freaks me out.
  9. Anyone over 16 on a skateboard. This offense has cause some shouted epithets to the tune of: "HOW -in the name of bakesales- do you ever expect to get LAID?!" Yes, I know. I am going to Hell.
  10. People unwilling to dance or risk appearing foolish.
  11. Bulimics: insulting to food and those who create it.
Read it all? You're tagged, Darling.

Wonderful list, may I add a comment on the low-rise issue. I work in the 3-6 elementary school and this trend, minus g-strings, is borderline offensive, every time these kids bend down to tie a shoe or grab something off the floor...plumber butt. ugh. Bring back the paper-bag waistline NOW.

Fabulous.
On whom is a thong sexy? We saw an over-tanned, bleach blond 50 year old man in an electric g-string thing in Puerto Vallarta. Nobody wants to see it, so put it away!
Pushing, bumping, shoving. Come with me to a national quilt show and watch how much I get pushed around like I'm invisible. They think I'm an "in the way" husband. Smack!
Ah, skateboarding. Two of my nephews aspired to be professional skateboarders. One now sells cars in Alaska. The other is at some fast food joint and doing drugs. A Cautionary Tale. They are indeed getting laid, but by chickybawanas, not young women of good breeding and education. Smack! *sigh*

I concur...excellent list. In fact, i think the ultra-low-rise jeans are stupid full stop.

8,000 handknit free scarves needed for SuperBowl Volunteers. Horrors. I've just sent an unnecessary post card to these people. " You must be kidding. I'll put this in my knitting queue... right behind every premature infant, the low income families in need, the homeless (domestic and international), the chemo patients and... every child for the next twenty years in the Oakland and San Francisco Childrens' Hospitals. In a word: No. " The Indianapolis and NFL wants my labor and yarn? Gah...

I got mugged in a nicer part of town than my own after knitting group. I am not hurt (other than re-twisting an ankle trying to chase the bum down. Do not ever ever run in clogs. Should not have been carrying a 50 pound knitting bag either. Or I should have handed that one over instead.) but am cashless cardless keyless bus/BARTpassless librarycardless phoneless id-less and really really pissed off. Yelling really loudly helped at the time. I had a dozen nice people around me and calling the very nice cops and getting water and handing me dogs to cuddle. They'll never catch the bastard and I'm aware of that. It's just the way it is. Like most everybody else I live paycheck to paycheck and at the end of the month when I am really paying attention to the last trickle I have to use, I get tense. Now some asshat has relieved me of that trickle and the last photo id that doesn't make me look like a complete aging old hag. And my cute new phone, just when I got the layout r...

I went round and round on a topic last Saturday with someone: sexual preferences: sources, outcomes, society. Tiresomely 'round and 'round the assumption mulberry bush. Then there was a general discussion of prey . Why are the abused mostly women and children? Because, on the whole, they are smaller and thought to be easier to intimidate. Ask any woman. Ask anyone who has been a child what intimidation is. Why bother feigning shock? The whole discussion is bothering me enough to keep me up for a couple of nights. The spinning is going well, for the most part. I've been working on a couple "Orphan" skeins using bits and pieces from dyers (most pieces only a couple grams in some wild colorways) and then Navajo plying them all together. It's quite the experiment. In the end the studio will be less cluttered, I will have more bobbins/less wool and the cat will have to find another soft place to sleep. At the moment the most recent prepared wool is a mystery: it...
