Seems to me the guy could have caused less stress all around if he'd
simply said, "Hi, I like your hat--I'm Ridingmate's dad. Fun day at the
Faire, eh?" But that's just me. I almost always say my name and give
some context to someone whose name I have remembered (I rarely expect
people to remember mine).

What a load of poppycock and balderdash!

There was nothing normal or social about the behaviors
exhibited by the man, especially when the daughter didn't
recognize him. And being in public means NOTHING; sheeple do
nothing beyond stand and gawk.

I've seen predatory behavior up-close and being in public
doesn't prevent anyone from doing exactly what they want. In
two cases, I was in indoor malls, filled with shoppers, and
two men came in to physically abuse the girlfriends. Most of
the people stood and _watched_. I was the only one that acted,
mostly because I have a misplaced sense of right-and-wrong.

Sorry... The daughter was made to feel uncomfortable by his
continued encroaching within her personal boundaries, she
didn't recognize him due to surroundings and costume, and he
chose to not pick up on her social cues.

You might find being surrounded by strangers comforting but
it's not the guarantee to safety you seem to think it is...

Ginormous T shirt dress in red which says on the front: Summer cat, Summer
cat, Sunny Summer cat. Lime green flats and the normal complement of
underwear.

And he continued to approach. He recognized her but she didn't know him
from Adam. I don't know how much time Janet spends around teenage girls
but their personal bubble tends to be fairly large when it comes to
strange men, which I regard as a good thing. You want to put their
hackles up, insist on trying to stand too close. Her behavior was
entirely appropriate, and his was remarkably clueless, especially as the
father of two girls.

Where did Kathleen say that her husband would have beaten the

Yep, this is how it felt when I got to Raleigh 20 years ago to go to school.
But even worse ... not just white, everyone was ANGLO. I was born in
Baltimore, and had lived in NYC, Orlando, and Houston. I mean, nobody
even had Russian or Polish last names, let alone middle eastern.

There were a few Asians mostly because of the University system. But
UNC did not even have the basic (10% at the time, maybe) black
enrollment. (I think they were shooting for the same percentage population
in the University system as there were in the general population.)

LOL!! When people who I don't know come up to me and look like they
'want to belong'..... I growl. They always leave after a few seconds.


From the pit of my stomach, a long and menacing growl.

I don't show teeth, I don't even move my lips. My SO thinks its a damn
good change from the lip curling snarl I used to give.

She likes the growl, *she* thinks it's sexy ;-P


My pooch hates it :-)

Nobody cares what you wear, or where your values are. I bought the

nauseating. Then when you make kissyface with ****heads Michael "what

Twit on in your [insert name brand] suit with your [insert name brand]

Kathleen, your daughter sounds like a damn good candidate for the Peter

Where one of the subjects is not about repairing broken nails... it's
about causing broken bones, and making people bleed :-)

I didn't. But I did imply that he might have twisted his head off like
the lid to a pickle jar. Probably wouldn't have had to, though. His
physical presence has a pretty strong deterrent effect.

Standard summerwear- white Tommy Hilfiger denim shorts with a baby

I've just had this brilliant idea! We should designate a day once a week in
which we wear intimidating clothing labels and say what they are. There are
always the charity shops! Or you could lie.

I'll bet he's handier at opening said jars' lids but there are
times when that physical presence is beneficial.

Now for some reason, I had you figured for being at least a little brighter
than your good buddies.

It isn't the particular brand, it is mentioning any brand AT ALL. And
puffing
up about living in LA, which boneheads suppose is just very impressive. And
mentioning the Honorable Judge ****face, as though all of these things are
just
so much The Bomb that men are following her around. Ick. Bad form.

I love fine things, and tend to buy a few very beautiful and/or functional
pieces
rather than a bunch of mediocre ones. But you are just as likely to find me
displaying brand names in a newsgroup as you are to find me, aka Cretin

They ARE good companions. They live together in my kill file. Nearly
everybody in my killfile for this group, other than commercial spammers,
has posted in this thread. No wonder Terry is sorry she posted this.
However, I don't see these knuckleheads as being representative of this
group.

Let's try a different story. A young Japanese exchange student, here in
the US, was going door to door soliciting donations for a charity. He
got to one house, and made his pitch. The woman was outraged that he
was asking her for money. He got confused, and his poor English went
from bad to worse. She thought he was trying to rob her, so she pulled
out her gun and killed him.

That's a totally left field, bullshit argument that you've made. And I'm
actually quite dissapointed that you've done it.

That woman needs to be, and should be, charged with murder. And I hope
the silly bitch gets it.

She understood enough of his language to be initially "outraged" at
being asked for money for a charity, and then she tries to say that he's
trying to rob her??????!!!! And that gives her enough reason to shoot
him???


Get back on track, Dan.

Of course there are going to be countless 'stories' you can tell about
women who use guns on men. (Are you afraid???)

But what about the multitude of stories of men who use guns on women? Or
men who use guns on men? Or men who use guns on children?


(One hopes that your 'story' is fantasy.)

Still in my nightshirt, and I've just had lunch. Hey, it's too hot here in
Boston to go outside, so why dress? (In winter, it's a long flannel gown and
the excuse is that it's too cold to go out.)

Counts for something in our house. The junior daughter claims she does
laundry only when "the last two things that don't smell don't match".

Dunno which good buddies these are, but I do get paid for writing about
fashion, so you can't count on me to be sensible about it.

Nor do I find anything about LA impressive, so my reaction is, poor her.
