Mysteries of the Web Site Revealed

Our focus for the week before the reunion will be social skills. Many of us (ok all of us) in high school lacked appropriate social skills. Even though it's twenty years laters, I thought it would be a good review for us all. Presented in part with the hit TV show The Office.

 

 

 Want to know some more numbers? We think you are in the right palce then. This analysis was given to us by Dr. Todd Seamons. A lover of fish, Todd has been able to balance the needs of a career and a fanily. How does he know how to do this? Mainly his wife. It is his job to know all things pertaining to numbers and fish and in this case children as well.

 

 First of all, living in a community where religion has such an influence we need to make sure that we are respectful to the mores of this culture. Religious freedom is important to us.Therefore, the word h-e-l-l is perfectably acceptable on this site. If you can say heaven every week at church, you can say h-e-l-l. The same with d-a-m-n which goes with salvation. Opposition in all things, my friends. Genesis is a pretty cool book and I like Moses a lot so if you want to talk about spiritual beings damning bodies of water or “whatever” else that’s also fine. Please know that all not all spiritual beings have this power, but most do.

The word s-h-i-t is fine if it is used in context. Take for example, the picture above of what we eat here in America, it’s just a bunch of crap. It is not okay to use the word s-h-i-t out of context. Especially considering Chris Matthew’s profession, that may be a little confusing. S-h-i-p is fine to be used in context, but with respect to our boating friends, please use the word only in context as well. The above picture is an example of how not use that word (sorry Melissa).

The word b _ _ _ _ _ has always bothered me simply because there is no equivalent referring to men and you know what that is don’t you?
Discrimination!
Calling someone a big fat p _ _ _ _ _ is just not the same thing. Actually it kind of makes me queasy. So since I have to read this site on a regular basis, we won’t be using either one of those words. No derogatory terms for body parts or anatomically correct ones either, it just opens too many doors.

There are two big f-words to stay away from. About the first one, frankly, I’m not interested in hearing about your intimate activities or anyone else’s. No now or ever, not even a little c-u-r-i-o-u-s.  Use the other one and it will get you kicked off this site. Remember the incident on the set of Grey’s Anatomy? Don't know what it is? Well, I'm not going to tell you. Tonya Murdock does a lot of marathons with those guys, so you can drop her note and she'll be happy to help you out.

Catholics have a lot of choice phrases to use. I used to wish I was Catholic (really) when I was little. It's hard to beat "Jesus, Joseph, and Mary!", but I can never get the cadence right. I also used to wish I was latina (and Catholic, both reallys on those too) which reminds me, foreign expressions of profanity are welcomed since these guidelines were written for the English language. I also used to wish I was adopted (really) and if my wish came true, maybe I would have been a child born out of wedlock or a child of lady who works the streets at night. To my pretend parentage, please be respectful.

If you can’t think of any other words, please contact Gamiel Fouad, he’s a very talented writer.

But really when it comes down to it, these guidelines are suggestions only.  When in doubt, take a chance to pray, meditate, do breath work, and use your conscience as your guide. Just like Pinnochio did with Jimmy Cricket (another Disney moment).

We will have the last say in a questionable situation. When people say “Life is not a contest”, well sometimes it is or is like one. For example, we’ll follow these contest rules when we need to

“The photograph (or writing) must not, in the sole and unfettered discretion of the Sponsors, contain obscene, provocative, defamatory, sexually explicit, or otherwise objectionable or inappropriate content. Photographs (or writing) deemed inappropriate will be disqualified”.

Remember our site p-o-l-i-c-y. We will tolerate 99.72% of what you have to say. With a quarter of a million words in the English language (on the low end) you've got a whole lot of other words to use.

Thanks for your support,

The Second Edition of the Oxford English Dictionary contains full entries for 171,476 words in current use, and 47,156 obsolete words. To this may be added around 9,500 derivative words included as subentries. Over half of these words are nouns, about a quarter adjectives, and about a seventh verbs; the rest is made up of interjections, conjunctions, prepositions, suffixes, etc. These figures take no account of entries with senses for different parts of speech (such as noun and adjective).

This suggests that there are, at the very least, a quarter of a million distinct English words, excluding inflections, and words from technical and regional vocabulary not covered by the OED, or words not yet added to the published dictionary, of which perhaps 20 per cent are no longer in current use. If distinct senses were counted, the total would probably approach three quarters of a million.

What is a "Disney butt"?

A "Disney butt" is a butt that has a mind of it's own and doens't listen to you, like Peter Pan's shadow in the movie Peter Pan, the animated and real life version, both, and in the book  (not fur sure on this one, haven't read it, but probably).

This term is applicable for a number (not really sure how many, but a lot) of other situations. For example, you can have a "Disney child" a "Disney partner or ex-partner", a "Disney pet" a "Disney career", or even a "Disney life".  Really it's all about the magic of not being listened to.

What is the p-o-l-i-c-y?

I want to give our statement of our website p-ol-i-c-y. We believe in long, long. rambling, non-sensical sentences because that's pretty much how I think. We believe in poor grammar and lousy speeling! We believe, in the exponential use, and misplacement, of commas, capitals, parentheses and exclamation marks. We also like to make words bold or underlined or even italicized (since I've never been there myself). We also want to explore the use of CAPITALIZATION (I love a free market) and hyphens between letters, i.e., t-e-a-m (thanks to Chris Matthews for that one). We love the word "really", (REALLY it is one of my favorite words), along with the words "JUST", "BECUASE", and "PRETTY". Mrs. Van Buren at Mar Vista Elementary would not allow her sixth grade students to use those words in their compostions, so in tribute to her, we will make an effort to use them on most, if not all, of the site’s pages. We will tolerate 99.72% of what you have to say (language guidelines to be forthcoming). This is our p-o-l-i-c-y, at least for today.

 

What is the cruise?

The cruise refers to idea that began at the very beginning of our message boards. An idea born of a desire to see the world and make some cash, but more importantly see the world and see it on Melissa Heath’s racing yacht with her handsome crew while spouses stayed at home. But actually it all began with the idea that crapola could really be ola. Refer to the message boards for a more detailed explaination.

Why the animals?

It was feared at one point that one of our members believed in the idea of free love a little too freely and this spawned the idea to free the animals from their free love relationship (see message boards). We were then mislead that York Major, an attorney for SiegFried and Jensen, was under the employ pf Siegfreid and Roy. Sad day for us all when we learned that was not to be true.

What are the DK pictures?

The DK pictures refer to a lost treasure which at this time we are still seeking. They are Davis High's holy grail. It is rumored that Derek Korth, aka DK, posted a picture that may or may have not been partially clothed that may or may have not been him. Our sources say he took it down due to the fact that a huge amount of his friends's wives suddenly began to spend an inordinate (ordinals, math, remember we love higher education) amount of time on our class web site studying the doings of the Darts although they, themselves personally, did not attend Davis High. Voices of protest began to arise. Thus began our quest for truth.

The pictures were removed due to the fact that Lisa Streiff was concerned that they might be p-o-r-n-o. I told Lisa that as a semi-professional underpaid photographer, my opionion was that they were not p-o-r-n-o, but a-r-t.
