Not knowing where it isd, I tendf to watch full shows of those I like or Dry
Bar Comerdy shows.

Most upload clips on a certain topic only, so those are great for sharing to
friends tro illustrate a point being made.

Yeah, I didn't much like it. . .seemed silly & repetitive & much like Mighty
Mouse -- the final result was not necessarily what would seem fair. (I follow

butt he butt of the one you love is always #1.  But I might still notice
others, as does my wife & so what -- we're wed, not dead; married, not buried.
We made a vow to be true to each other, not to only look at each other.

If we;re out walking & my wife sees a curvacious young lovely who is pleasantly
& shapely padded, she'll nudge me to direct my attention. I do the same if a
scvene comes on tv involving firemen dancing in only underwear; both my wife &
daughter will take a moment to appreciate the act, & why not?

One year my wife said if I want to book off all Wednesday7 evenighs to go play
poker with friends I had to buy her a fireman calendar, so I did. . . & with n
o embarrassment -- what do I care? it's not for ME! Only my wife & I need to
know that, really.  Nobody cares any more; wyen I was younger it would raise
eyebrows & attract the pointing of fingers. . .

Amen! I give thanks for all I've seen, been, & experienced. . . & for all that

Yup -- that's cheating; wanting to always be on the first page when someone
just briefly pops into the echo.  Google blocks websites that use games(e.g.
the same keyword 10,000 times in invisible colour(matching the background
colour) so keyword counters give that site higher weight, when they're just
ordinary, to be on the first page of results.

On the same principle,. i'd limit BBS_ADS echo to once a month, to encourage
more individual reading, replying, & having conversations.

If you want to be on top, do as Google says, & pay an ad fee. (not sure I'd
ever do that, as it's against the spirit of Fidonet, especially if I'm not
paying anything to be part of it.); in the meantime, I'd expect the BBS_ADS
echo to ghave a list of subjects that, in 4-6 words make each board attractive
to casual browswers & message b message readfers both.

It's all about what they chose to interpret things as (truthfully, moree what
theier emplyer (e.g. city, county, state) has inmind for revenue raising.

There's a stretch of the main south-north interestate through Florida that
ghoes throughga county whgere toplessness in men is illegval (ticketable);
mnaturtally most men(& some women) driving are topless to try to survive the
heart & humidity of certain seasons. & the cops are awaiting to ticket you.
You prolly have to pay on the spot, as there's no likelihood that John Smith
from Peoria will anything but trash that ticket, maybe a quarter mile down the
road, out his window. . .

Then my concern would be that it's an off-duty cop trying to make some extra
personal cash.

Oh well, I know of the law & if I were driving there, I'd be suffering the heat
or have good AC in my car & have a light tee-shirt on)

& I'd be driving about 1.5 MPH lower than posted speed limit (most people
figure limit+5% wil be fine by most cops, & go about limit plus 10%)

Guy gets pulled over for speeding.

"I was going at the speed of traffic, officer," he said in protest.

Cop looks up & down the clearly empty road, "What fleeping traffic?"

"See? That's how far behind I am!"

Most dogs, most toddlers, & far too many grown(age-wise) adults. . .

I'd never kiss another woman romantically.  If I get lip-bombed bn some drunk
woman, I'm not going to accept being betrayed for it. Neither for anything my
wife dreanms about.

Thankfully, she's not the type to make an issue in either case.

Thsat's what it would seem like if the younguns react to my attitudes toward
public behaviour & morals & the need to teach children well, when a paddling is
required.
