Can’t help noticing the BLOKE in the centre of the podium. HE has clearly taken winner’s position, and the BLOKE on HIS right in the picture (the one with the T-shirt that I make out reading ‘BREAK FART’ [wish I had my glasses with me] – just about sums it all up) looks pretty pleased with HIMSELF too. Could be that it’s the first event in HIS miserable life that HE can convince himself HE did well in.
Iknklast, I’ve just mislaid my only good pair, but can still just read what’s on my computer screen, wearing this busted pair. But it reminds me of a story I once told on another thread here on B and W. My dear old sadly departed and very devout mother-in-law used to say “Any time I lose my glasses, I just say a short prayer: ‘Lord please help me find my glasses,’ and in no time at all, I find them again.!”
I found the theological implications of that to be staggering. There is God, sitting on His Heavenly Throne, contemplating various problems of the Universe, when up comes her prayer, and He says to Himself: “Oh My Goodness Me!. Don’t tell Me she’s lost her glasses again.!”.
Retaining His celestial composure (just), He reunites her with her glasses. He takes note of her short prayer of thanks, and then says:: “now where was I? Ah, yes! Those two galaxies, each consisting of about 100 billion stars, and teeming with intelligent life. They seem to Me to be on a collision course. What am I going to do about them.?”
But sadly, the only prayer I ever seem to utter these days (following my mother-in-law’s example) is ‘God help us.’ Never does much good, either. ;-)
Such a tiny, minuscule population couldn’t population couldn’t possibly have an impact! Also, trans people have been permitted in women’s sports for years (if I am referencing law) or all along (if I am trying to make the point that trans women have been ‘passing’ throughout human history), where is this supposed displacement of women by trans women? Also, even if a few prizes are taken by trans women, so what? Also, shut up transphobe!
Just had this conversation with a TRA. “It’s being going on for years so it’s really not a problem and anyone who says otherwise must just be stupid”. Followed by “shut up” in the form of a block. DARVO on full display. Honestly it was like trying to argue with Trump.
Pfff. Anything less than 100% isn’t relevant.

Omar, with glasses it says break fast. (I don’t go anywhere without my glasses; my vision is too bad without them).

All my prayers sound like profanity to the untrained ear.

Cool, so we can relax, because it never happened after all. Thanks, copyright holder!
