Re the Blog: I was the proud possessor of an atomic bomb ring when I was a child. It was obtained for 25 cents and a box top from Captain Midnight. You took it into a dark room and peered thru a tiny lens to watch atoms being split. I believe this is called a spinthariscope. There is a small quantity of radium behind a phosphor screen. Radiation causes flashes of light. Regrettably I lost the ring when it accidentally fell in the toilet. I have missed it ever since.
I hope to heaven my X never falls off–especially not in public.
You know, barticle35, I hazily half-remember having one, too (but I have no idea what became of it, many decades ago). At any rate, I know I had something to peer into and see tiny, little flashes. I also had a Lone Ranger six-shooter ring that had a spark-wheel built into it. And, yes, I broke mine off the ring, just as described in the link….
I think it depends on who’s doing the judging.
On a scale of 1 to 10, I would say it would look something like this, with 1 being you are an bleeep but the person judging likens you to Sainthood and 10 being you are Dudley Do Right but the judge thinks you are an Evil Pud.
Dudley Do Right 10 - your ex
9-
8-
7-
6-
5-
4-
3-
2-
Evil Pud 1- your Mom
This is all assuming the person judging is getting it wrong, which is usually the case since no one knows what’s really in the head of the average Dudley or Pud.
So what would be the ones in between?
One of my relatives went to the doctor, and the doctor asked him how often he had sex.
My relative said “You know who the Pope is.
And you know who Magic Johnson is.
Somewhere in between.”

This is one of the Freudian FAs where if you think it’s naughty, then you’re the one with a dirty mind, isn’t it?

It’s easy to look at this comic and my shaving accident in the same context.

The “Good Person” post on the blog carries some deep philosophical thought!!

I have trouble refraining from sarcasm, but I do try not to giggle (or jiggle) too often.

Ottod, it’s avoiding being argumentative that’s so hard, especially when the set up is right there waiting.
