It would have been funny if Khadafy went along with it and let her "arrest" him. After all the police stations turn her away, they grab some bagels, take a carriage ride through the park and get to know one another. This all leads to her next column where what had once repulsed has now aroused her.
Oh, yes. Foreigners are always "foul smelling." It's a curiously common trait for "auslanders" everywhere. And Peys? Until the latter end of the last century, that included Jews, Gypsies, etc.
@BadUncle: I hate to point this out, but in some corners of the world, Americans are mocked for being profligate wasters of hot water and soap, and the whole daily bathing + deodorant thing has not caught on.
I am confused. Was my elementary school the only one where one kid would be sitting on the swing, and then another would sit on their lap facing them with their legs poking out through the other side of the swing, and you'd swing like that?
In other words, the swings were holding up 2 kids, no problem.
Also, is there a broken swing epidemic, or are we just trying to get the little fatties self-esteem destroyed as early as possible?
There is a possibility the "2 girls, 1 swing" scenario described above was a weird proto-lesbian thing unique to my school. But I kind of doubt it.
I've started going to gym regularly and find fit people just as disgusting as fat people (granted, I go to Crunch). Sweat pouring off of everyone while cleaners run around wiping up the sweat off the walls, floors and disco mirrors.
Everytime I look down the row of treadmills, I just see a bunch of puffy red hampsters.
@Omitofo: No shit. I used to be at the gym 1-2 hours a day until I had an existential crisis about being with vapid, self-absorbed people for that amount of time each day.
The little fat kid's revenge comes on the teeter totter when his or her tonnage vaults the skinny kid to the upward teeter totter position and the fatty promptly bails out. Hilarity and bruised coccyx for everyone.
Blaming or shaming a 6 year old is wrong. Now, shaming the parents senseless for fattening up a kid, I have no problem with that. Genetic cases aside, you can choose to ignore the health scare issues, you can choose to have no willpower, you can choose to be slothful and make me pay for your diabetes treatments, because on paper at least, you're an adult capable of making adult decisions, but when you force that on your child it's a form of abuse.
@BaconCat: Thanks you! It's not the kid's fault. Don't make the kid feel guilty when he/she's in one of the EXERCISE areas. Find some way to shame the parents. Ads that start of nice and sweet, then end with one killer line. "You are a good parent- here's why la la la (details- child proof outlets, etc). So why is your kid FAT when you know it will shorten his life span?"
Good. Fuck them little fatties. Send them over to the twisty slide where they can split the back of their "husky boy" sized Wranglers and provide endless laughter to the rest of us.

Methinks the part where the lady wrote "parked his camel" undermines her moral rectitude just a smidgen.
