    Especially if the middle class hypercorrection theory is accurate.
    Is a prescriptivist somebody who has only been paying attention since first grade? For me 1967?

    Not recruiting high character Gen Z’ers that will honor their commitments because they are 1” too short or 1/10th second too slow.

    Re: peeve of the day

    Okay, I started not to post this, but you guys know me...

    Just back from a week at Disney World. Other than the aggravating mask, it wasn't all that bad. The weather was perfect all week. Brought one of my granddaughters, at age 5, her first visit. She made it all worthwhile. I loved watching her reactions to everything...like when she first saw Mickey & Minnie, wow! Disney has taken precautions and implemented crowd control, especially the good ole social distancing, and for the most part folks followed the protocols. No real issues there.

    But, this is the pet peeve thread, so, here goes. Sorry, but being a f---king fat, disgusting bastard/bitch is NOT legit "disability." Those two-ton assholes who drive those scooters around and demand priority access to the attractions just because their ankles are bigger than Bo Jackson's thighs, just doesn't cut it. Lose some weight, fatty!!!

    And this...the fakers! Yes, I noticed a group using the scooter excuse just to go to the head of the line, and not have to endure the 30-50 minute wait the rest of us did. I first noticed this bunch in Magic Kingdom. One of them, a teenage fatty was driving the scooter and the rest, 7 by actual count, with her. They go up to one of the Disney workers and claim they need priority access because of the girl...who they claim medically can't wait in line. Bam! straight onto the attraction they go. Later I note that the older woman was riding the scooter and that fat teenage girl was engaged in play-fighting with her brothers, who also were sporting huge guts. She was jumping around, shoving her brothers...I say to myself, this is the same behemoth who they claim couldn't wait in line? I watched them go up to the next attraction and make the claim that the older woman now was the one...I smelled a rat(s). My wife says to me, stay out of it, it's none of our business. I beg to differ. I reported it to the nearest Disney "cast member." At first he was like, what? Really? I insisted he do something or I would. To my surprise, that Disney cast member returns with a supervisor. They spoke to the attendant at the attraction, who points to the parked scooter, the 8 fatties inside. When the fat brigade emerges, sure enough, the older man gets on the scooter and off they go. The supervisor follows, as do I. At the next attraction they force their way past those standing in line and go straight to the attendant. Inside they go. They emerge and the older woman now gets on the scooter...bam, busted! By then two security guards had been summoned. The group is escorted away...to where I don't know, but I never saw them again.

    I meet up with my wife and granddaughter, "Happy?" my wife asks. Yep! I despise fakers, fraudsters! (you know the kind). Oh, I almost forgot the best part. It was cool in the morning but quickly warmed up down there. So, at the second attraction one of the fat boys take off his jacket revealing an LSU Tigers shirt. I knew I had to nail those bastards for sure!

    The water leak just outside the west side entrance to Joe Aillet Stadium that has gone unrepaired for at least three months.

    D80, I have argued for a long time that they should not allow motorized scooters at all. Wheelchair only. If you have to be pushed or use your arms to propel yourself it might make people think twice before using that service unless they absolutely have to.
