Yes, when little carnivals are done right, they are charming. :) The Del Mar Fair is a great time, too, though. Maybe it's more of the kind of people we are, small town San Diego! Love it! :)— July 7, 2010 9:41 a.m.
As Good As It Gets
Yes, I liked the film as well, adored Greg Kinnear and his little dog, and Helen Hunt is utterly wonderful in it -- but I can't help but note how many films seem to have this same theme. And yes, the character was hateful, selfish, evil, at the beginning of the movie. A real pig.— July 7, 2010 9:30 a.m.
The Most Beautiful Squirrel in the World # 6
OMG, stunning, just stunning, Quill. You've outdone yourself here. Bravo.— July 7, 2010 9:19 a.m.
Comic Relief is Dead
I wrote this comment on another thread, but apparently it was removed, so will repeat my question. My understanding is a thread of MsG's was removed, supposedly because it jokingly mentioned incest -- Interesting that a certain writer here made jokes about incest that never bothered the Reader. Further, as Grasca has said, there is currently a thread on the forum that references bestiality, satanism, physical and sexual abuse, among other offensive topics, and that thread has been allowed to stand. I doubt that the thread that was pulled was pulled for the reason given. But if it is true, then there appears to be a double standard. Intolerable, really.— July 7, 2010 4:09 a.m.
This One Goes Out To The One I Love
Ooooh, russl, my dear fellow. Did you read my thread, On Winning the Blog Contest? Do you agree that I was clearly attacking another user? Or do you just believe everything the Reader tells you? :)— July 6, 2010 1:40 p.m.
Comic Relief is Dead
Nan, I may be following you out the door. Reader admin has lost it. Seriously. I am told they pulled a thread that referenced "incest." Yet they allow another thread to stay that references bestiality, satanism, physical and sexual abuse -- and that blog post, if the past is any indication, will probably win the blog contest this month. Why is all this happening? The writing is on the wall, and it ain't pretty.— July 6, 2010 1:36 p.m.
This One Goes Out To The One I Love
I was censored, russl. My thread was a parody, and it skewered several parties. The thread was pulled and I was told it was because the thread was clearly attacking another user. ???????????????????????? If I weren't turning over a new leaf, I'd say, Eat My Shorts.— July 6, 2010 1:22 p.m.
General Announcement, Please Read
It's one thing to remove outright abuse and harassment of contributors, it's quite another to remove content that is meant to provoke discussion. Anything can be deemed offensive, in someone's eyes. A blanket pulling of threads and comments is simply chilling.— July 6, 2010 1:17 p.m.

SurfPup, if you are speaking of the carnival that is attached to the 4th of July festivities, yes, we were there this year -- the attendance, compared to just before the economic downturn -- was really down. I remember the years it was jam-packed, couldn't move, long lines, no parking anywhere near the place. This year, we found a parking spot right next to the park, we could walk fairly easily through the crowds, and the lines were moving quickly. The prices on everything have gone up, including the games -- what used to be dime pitch is now a quarter -- needless to say, not many people were playing. There were not as many games offered, not as many food booths, was not as much fun as in the past. But I have to tell you, the fireworks were generous and spectacular!!!— July 6, 2010 12:50 p.m.
This One Goes Out To The One I Love
It is quite evident that the new interpretation of those rules are impossibly stringent and constrict debate and criticism. If I were a suspicious sort, I would see a hidden agenda ...— July 6, 2010 12:44 p.m.
