Bike Florida

Fine write up. At least I wasn't stuffing my face.

Southern Women (and tattaos), a young lady rode one of my
first BFs. She had a rose tattaoed on her right hip. When
she bent to her efforts - pedaling - the rose would peek
over her shorts. I worked hard to keep that rose in view.

I had a feeling you'd figure it was you in one of those

I could have been any number of folks in the 'crowd'
shot. Sad to say, you and I are of the few that use our
names on line.

Nice column Larry. I would have enjoyed it even more if you
had left out the remark about southern men. Southern Bill

Southern Bill

Hey, I admit it - it's some form of prejudice from my
younger days. I *know* that men with southern accents
aren't all Gomer Pyles, but after decades of movies and
television, not to mention relatives and neighbors, I've
grown up, like Pavlov's dogs, with habits and
preconceptions that are hard to conquer. But, at least I
know they're not 'real' or factual. Heck, one of my best
friends is from Norcross, GA, and is exceptionally bright
- but he sounds like Barney Fife! See, I can recognize
what my prejudices are telling me, but I don't have to
believe them!

It's ok Larry. We understand. There are all sorts of
preconceptions and prejudices around. For example, I've
never met a southern boy who thought growing up to look like
Santa Claus would be a cool thing to do. I'm not sure how
southern women feel about Santa types, especially those with
"haggle" tattooed over their heart. But anyway we all know
these things are just preconceptions and not in any way
indicative of a person's true worth. ;-).

ride you won't cringe at my southern accent. just for
laughs though --- Take your last name.Remove the V. replace

One thing is for sure, we can none of us see ourselves as
others see us. I think if I looked like Santa Claus (Varney)
I would not be casting many aspersions about.

Now as for myself, I am the very picture of perfection. Yet
others on this newsgroup do not find me so. Denis Rivest
finds me to be arrogant and insolent. I wonder where he ever
got that idea? Just because I am perfect doesn't mean that I
begrudge anyone else their many gross imperfections. I mean,
after all, I do suffer fools like Denis here on this
newsgroup all the time. It is part of my noblesse oblige. 😉

Well, it is a slow Sunday here in Minnesota and I do not
have anything better to do than to remind everyone how
extremely intelligent I am and that it is always a great
honor and privilege to engage me in discussion (even if we
end up doing nothing better than calling one another nasty
names). It is part of my perfection to admit to being wrong
on occasion. Everyone always appreciates a little modesty
every now and then although it ill becomes me. However, I
would never be so arrogant as to apologize to the entire
country on the part of the Bush administration for not
foreseeing 9/11 like Clarke
did. Now that is real arrogance which is even beyond me!

Bottom posting is always good form and is the preference of
us intelligent types as well as being totally correct and
proper. I am glad to see that I am having some good effect
here on ARBR.

That sound you're hearing is a giant sigh of relief as men
throughout the South learn that they are most unlikely to
become the objects of
Mr. Varney's undesirable affections. And as to your opinion
on Southern men, frankly Larry, I don't give a damn.

I'm not sure. Could it mean trying to impress women with
your tattoos? Perhaps not the best tactic to use with
southern women.

"Glot" sounds to me like a German word. So maybe he'll be
able to glot some German women during his well advertised
trip abroad.
