Wednesday Motivational – A Little Class Goes A Long Way

Author’s Note:  The subtitle this week is perhaps a little bit ironic.  Mostly because I have very little motivation this week.  I’m also lazy and bored.  Perhaps one has something to do with the other.

So this week I’m kinda cheating.

 

My mother was clearing out some old things recently.  She came upon a newspaper clipping of this quote from Ann Landers, who was an advice columnist for those too young to remember that.  When I read it I thought it was pretty good.

I don’t know the original date of publishing.  The print I have is clipped and no date appears.  I tried to track down the original date online but couldn’t find it for certain.  But it’s timeless advice in my humble opinion.

Dear Ann Landers: Your column has given me a lot of insight and good information over the last 23 years. A while back, you printed your definition of class. I would like to share it with a special friend. Would you kindly print it again? I promise to clip it out this time. P.S.: Who composed it?

Vancouver Fan

 

Dear Vancouver: Get out the scissors. Here it is. P.S.: You asked who composed it. I did.

Class

Class never runs scared. It is sure-footed and confident, and it can handle whatever comes along.

Class has a sense of humor. It knows that a good laugh is the best lubricant for oiling the machinery of human relations.

Class never makes excuses. It takes its lumps and learns from past mistakes.

Class knows that good manners are nothing more than a series of small sacrifices and minor inconveniences.

Class bespeaks an aristocracy unrelated to ancestors or money. Some extremely wealthy people have no class at all, while others who are struggling to make ends meet are loaded with it.

Class is real. You can’t fake it.

Class is comfortable in its own skin. It never puts on airs.

Class never tries to build itself up by tearing others down. Class is already up and need not attempt to look better by making others look worse.

Class can “walk with kings and keep its virtue and talk with crowds and keep the common touch.” Everyone is comfortable with the person who has class because he is comfortable with himself.

If you have class, you’ve got it made. If you don’t have class, no matter what else you have, it won’t make up for it.

Final Thought

The reason I like DFO so much is because I believe all of you are good people.  Even when we disagree on certain things.

In spite of our often dark humour (dare I say potty humour at times?) I think all of you have integrity, dignity and class.  That can often be difficult to find.

So, thank you for that.

I went in last Sunday afternoon when no one was there; I am very fortunate to be in that situation.

Is the joke that it should be “stationery?” Sometimes I get a little confused.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Yes, that is the “joke.” Their, you happy now?

Viva La Tabula Raza

I think it works with either spelling.

I really want the “Hippo criticizes your fetish” post series to get started!

I’d like to expand the typical or clinical definitions to include items that you really like and will sometimes fixate on, which may overlap with some of Balls’ Pornhub search terms. A lot of mine are not controversial, such as denim cut-off shorts, upskirt peeks, etc., etc., which in some senses are non-sexual to others, but some ideas where Hippo or some others (not as strict as the Dear Abby crowd) would go WTF? The “feet are GROSS!” reaction is a bonus, but just a “I don’t get it; what the fuck is wrong with you?” would be an adequate reaction. Maybe a brief description of where you think you got it; the first college football game I attended resulted in my love of cheerleaders, for instance.

I may have thought about this too much….

I have a running joke with a friend that started with a conversation like this:

Him: “I have a fetish for hot women [wearing/doing xyz]”
Me: “If you have to specify ‘hot’ women, then it’s not a fetish. Liking hot women doing stuff is called being a heterosexual male. When you think that pretty much any woman doing [xyz] is hot, then it’s a fetish.”

I think it is a bit more complicated. For instance some can see a “hot woman” and then sees that her feet are not up to their standard and then they feel she is no longer desirable. Or is she is hot, and you are fine with that, ‘great I’m aroused’…. then when that same woman is wearing a latex body suit and it rev’s up your mojo by orders of magnitude you are placing this situation or item to dramatically enhance, then you are fetishizing it. For instance I love ScarJo, but if she was riding a two-humped camel on a faux-leather camel saddle, wearing a Broncos helmet…. NOW WE ARE TALKING!!

Game Time Decision

what type of camel? 1 hump or 2?

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Well, I said a two-humper, but I think the majority really likes one-humpers….

We could also apply it to certain characters and/ or Rule 34 situations.

Well, no I guess, not that flexible…. in fact I cramped a bit trying.

i owe the Jurassic Park franchise an apology, it is in fact very realistic the rich would reopen a park in spite of it consistently resulting in mass death

Just looked out my back window and saw a woman and a little girl wearing dish gloves and picking up trash in the neighbourhood. Nice to see. They moved on from my place after about a half hour.

Kids are evil in general. If there was a string of mysterious deaths/accidents. I’m blaming the kids 1st. Also Culkin gets major ass. Look up his list, impressive.

I think I would attend this rally with a face mask, and put the most ludicrous sign up possible, just to see people’s reactions. “COVID is only spread by sex with animals” or “Fuck those people that die, I want my happy endings massages back” or “Jesus died for us, so it can’t be that bad for you to die, too”. The only problem is that they would probably agree with me. :/

LemonJello

Agree? Shit. They’d probably elect you to be their Pope…

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

And also – despite the mask – you’d probably be at pretty high risk to get sick.

Unsurprised

Look at all the doctors keeling over.

I get it now. Class is the ability to tolerate the garbage people who are beneath us.

That’s going a bit far
