@holon42 Yeah. It's one of those places where you meet someone, think they're a good person, watch them defend the downtrodden of one type, and then they go and call another type of downtrodden "an abomination". On the other hand, the good ones tend to know how to support each other, fostering resilience with each other, or I've had good luck with that.

@holon42 @AskTheDevil Probably, given the local definition of incorrigible is often "not a member of my church".

@DocLaing @AskTheDevil Here in Oklahoma, we praise the law breakers. Make tourist traps out of caves outlaws hid out in, name sportsball teams Boomers and Sooners (lawbreakers in the land run) and whatnot. Seems we should be throwing these dudes a parade.

@holon42 @AskTheDevil Probably, but like other old laws it shouldn't be enforced. I live here in OK and have totally walked backwards while eating a hamburger and broken other blue laws for kicks and no one got all huffy about it.

@disk4mat Yes, another trait he shared with Hensley, lol. BTW, he was friends with Oprah because he helped her win the lawsuit against the beef industry. He was a forensic psychologist, Hensley used him to show that it's not like it is on tv, they don't work on cases. They help lawyers pick the right tie and tone to manipulate juries. It takes a certain mindset to pick that as your field.

Thought about it, realized that by doing so, I'd also be scorching professor Hensley, then realized I was fine with that. They were best friends, Hensley was his best man at the wedding, he was right next to him manipulating young girls, he was a dirty perv prof, and when I graduated he messaged me on Facebook and told me he had wet dreams about me. Birds of a feather. Damn, now I really want those old files. Sigh.

I really wish I still had my voice recordings of my psych classes taught by the guy who taught Dr. Phil and befriended him in his youth. Prof not only broke down how he spreads misinformation to get good ratings and profits from things he KNOWS are false, but also how much of a swinger he is and how much he likes to manipulate young girls into sex. Pairs well with his evangelical image, don't it? I'd get sued to spread those recordings, it would be fun.

@jaunty Happy birthday! Since everyone's suggesting to strip and streak, I suggest painting a birthday cake on your butt so people understand why and cops won't bother you.

@redenigma I kept myself entertained in quieter ways, like bringing a canvass and paints to math class. There was the one class I stirred up by drawing with my feet because I sat in the back corner and didn't think anyone would notice.

@redenigma You were a legend. Did they ever pick your locker?

i have a fondness for those real 1960s superballs... my friend Sarah's father was a physics professor, which made it insanely easy & cheap for us to get our hands on 2 large paper grocery bags (remember those?) FULL of superballs...
which we proceeded to pour over the 2nd floor balcony at the entrance hall of the high school. because of where the office doors were located, we were long gone before any adults could get out to the lobby...

@Kinnison They call the one with short legs 4 short toots, and the one with gas one big long toot.
