Candy Crowley: I'm sorry. I thought I'd changed.

[Neecy]

I just saw the latest Crowley thread, and before I could control my fingers I added a snarky comment about her multiple chins. I feel regret over this. Guilt, even.

Here's why: Some years ago (okay, not that long ago) when my friends and I would go clubbing, we'd throw a ten-spot into our Scum Dream Date pool and whoever got hit up on by the scummiest person, male or female, won the pot (I almost always won).

Last year, I went to a Kerry rally and a small gnome-like guy with terrible teeth started talking to me. Damn, I thought, I wish I had money in the pool today. But you know what? The guy was brilliant, and really nice. I felt gripped with guilt for even conjuring up the image of the Scum Dream Date pool and resolved to be kinder to my fellow human beings, at least on a superficial basis.

Crowley would, of course, qualify as a SDD but since I've resolved not to be judgemental, even if someone has dirt under their fingernails or is missing part of an ear (one of my winners) I won't even think anything negative about that person, only that they probably have a beautiful soul, and are better persons than I am because I'm sure they've never won money - big money - playing Scum Dream Date.

So, Candy, I'm sorry for not being able to resist posting something shitty about you. I resolve to only look for the beauty of your inner soul the next time a thread is started in your honor. I can be tested, but my resolve not bested (although it was only minutes ago, I'm sure I can resist in the future). I hope Candy can accept this very public apology for my tragic misdeed.

2. Try to focus on her disgusting Bush groveling as a negative

rather than her status as a woman of size.

3. That was YOU at the Kerry rally?

For saying I'm brilliant and really nice, I *almost* forgive you for not going home with me

:P

You're all that and more, even if I didn't make any cash from our encounter (gee, I guess that can be taken a couple of different ways...)
