halfbaked
Sir! I feel scandalized; cut to the quick; deeply, deeply offended and shocked beyond belief, at the disambiguating prepositional phrasal application, of such immodest and intemperate language, used in your scurrilous implication that I would be seen dead or alive in anything ,"Purple edged in bilbous or bilious green. That sir, I consider to be an uncalled for and undeserved assault on my standing in the community as an aesthete, style warrior/ sartorial trend setter!!!
That assault sir, in a past era, would have resulted in me offering you the choice of weapons, in a duel. But since we now live in more civilized times (your behavior notwithstanding), I must content myself with informing you that: My colour of preference, is BLACK! Not! the black as in psychological black and blue
bruising caused by hurtful innuendo and insinuations, but, as in BLACK LEATHER, with a, hot oily smelling, 1000 cc Vincent Black Shadow
motor cycle, at the front gate, as a fashion accessory/statement.
Unless, as is the case at the moment, my wife is away for any length of time, in which case , I can avail myself of the more colourful contents of her extensive wardrobe. The way I see it, is: if she has reduced me to a state of penury, through her obsessional purchasing of such items, I, may as well make use of them.
E.g. as I write this post, I am wearing various items of my wife`s under apparel with black nylons and 6in patent leather stiletto hi-heels. Topped off with a pink diaphrarmous negligee.
Now then halfbaked! Does that sound like someone whose colour is Purple tinged with sickly green
? No of course it doesn`t. Now then, your penitence is taken as a given and its articulation not necessary. And let me reassure you halfbaked, that, even somebody like me, a man who is never wrong, can be wrong sometimes. We are all, only human.
PS these panties of the wifes that I
m wearing are cutting the sodding arse off me .

There is nothing about the iPHone, that W
or indeed you can tell me that I dont already know and have known for months, unless Apple have kept us in the dark , till now. I
m more interested in what affect the things it can do
has onw
The Redux is, if you look closely, is an attempt by someone who feels that, perhaps a couple of very special things , inadvertently got crushed in the ensuing avalanche of heavily opinionated comments, made in response to w`s original post.
The first is avery fragile and human emotion, enthusiasm
. The second, is ws right to free expression. I
m not talking about his right to make his original post, but his follow on," full write up later." In the cacophonous exercising of our
right to free expression, weve unintentionally created the conditions under which we
ve dissuaded , or caused w
to become disinclined to …bother! We`ve butchered the original enthusiasm.
The redux is just my attempt at acknowledging that effect by way of reparation for that butchering and restoration of W`s original enthusiasm and to exercise his right.
I dont know if your response is an innocent attempt at humor, or a put down I hope it
s not the latter, but unless people who post to this thread, do so in order to endorse the simple but genuine sentiments being expressed, it will turn into just another example of opinionated
highjacking.
