Hit a Pedestrian on my way home, and I FEEL GREAT! - Page 4

SEGsby · 03-29-2007, 04:17 AM

I didn't want to say anything before, but I think Herbie has a real problem...

It's true.

I have thought about calling an intervention for him and getting some outside assistance; but I don't think it will work. I mean... He just LEANS against things and can't even support himself. It's shameful and disgraceful to view in public, and highly embarrassing to witness whenever the subject comes up. How can I say this tastefully? His friends and family would like to depend on him, but he just keeps letting us down each time the need to perform is there... It's the same old story, over and over.

After spending some time with him and getting to know him better and better each day, I've found myself asking-- What kind of EPAMD can't stand upright without external aids, or quick-fix gimmicks gleaned from reading the internet???? I know he's constantly searching for things that... you know, correct his condition. But I've come to the conclusion that it's probably an exercise in futility and may never be resolved.

I... I think he sneaks out to the Pharmacy to get drugs that will help him stay upright.

Seriously.

BUT, this non-issue has kept us from the real issue. This is serious!

How did Segsby walk to the pharmacy and ride Herbie home?

Was Herbie waiting at the pharmacy?

How did Herbie get to the pharmacy?

Was Herbie alone?

Did Herbie conspire with this alleged young, alleged black, alleged male?

Sorry, I just don't believe you. I read more than a hundred of your posts and you mention "men" and "women" when telling your stories, but not their races. This story about your alleged assault was about a young black male - not a young man. This story wasn't a police report, it was meant to be an entertaining story. Maybe it didn't seem menacing enough with just the mention of a young man with a skateboard, I don't know.

You and anyone else here can make light of it all you want. That doesn't make it any less disturbing to me and many others - perhaps more so, given the defensive posturing some of you have taken.

Your personal belief's are certainly your own, but I don't appreciate being labeled as a racist in a public forum, simply because I described an attacker with the only information I have available.

I'm disappointed you won't accept my authenticity on the issue, but not at all surprised.

You wrote "and many others". You are the only one who said anything about being concerned.

You imagined something where nothing exists.

You tried to slide another one by us. But I caught you!

If they were Mimes, how would you know they were French?

SEGsby · 03-29-2007, 10:22 AM

We all know French Mimes:

1. Wear black and white striped shirts.

2. Wear a black beret.

3. May wear a vest & sometimes use colorful suspenders to keep their pants up.

4. Use creepy white face paint with black accents around their eyes and sometimes red saturated lips.

5. Wear white gloves.

6. Never utter a word while performing.

7. Move in freakish ways that scare the crap out of normal people.

8. They sometimes mock their audience using "Physical Theater".

Wanted posters for these performers can be found here:

Worm · 03-29-2007, 10:51 AM

oooops. I submit. I was wrong. I thought all mimes were that way. I thought being a mime meant you dressed and looked like that. I thought when you said a French mime, you just meant a mime from France. And I couldn't figure out how you would know that since they don't speak.

SEGsby · 03-29-2007, 11:06 AM

That's okay.

It's not a simple matter of right or wrong-- but you and everyone else reading my words should have felt very uncomfortable reading my uncensored and insensitive description of these people...

Yes, I used the politically forbidden word 'black' to describe their characteristics a number of times in my list. Admittedly, that was very very un-PC of me. And for that I should be terribly ashamed because...

I'm mostly French myself.

C'est vrai.

And because of this, I have French-dar and can spot these silent mimes at great distances.

I find this forum informative sometimes...

I thought that white face paint and a striped shirt was more mime and less "French Mime". I did not know that there was a distinction...

When I first read about the french mime reference, I was confused. I thought that you could tell a frence mime from a non-french mime by the way they hold their hands up in front of themselves, when making believe they are in that glass box...

Desert_Seg · 03-29-2007, 12:16 PM

I'm even insulted now. As a person of Hispanic heritage, I'm insulted that SEGsby didn't include us in is "list". After all, are Latinos more important that Hispanics? And who in their right mind would call out a French Mime but miss the all important Puerto Rican Mimes?

Geesh, where or where is this forum going? Next thing you know somebody in NY is going to post how they were out gliding when a young PR-looking young man, in his hip-hop clothes, made a threatening gesture, causing the glider to pull out their 9mm and cap somebody's a**.
