And I must say, I totally enjoyed your OP. You nailed it!
I wasn't sure how to handle it, madam.
Just prior to writing that, I had been out rescuing cattle from the wind and the snow.
My original plans had been to write just the usual standard run-of-the-mill announcement, linking to the
Die alte Sau comments during 2010, but as has been pointed out, the dysmenopausal Kansas school teacher is not known for making big splashes; only a constant ripple--and so nothing Anne said this year really stood out.
When I got back home, all cold and tired and worn out, and was a couple of hours overdue in writing the announcement, I went into a "stream of random consciousness" state--and I'm sure it shows--thinking about what the "Proud2BlibKansan" primitive means to me.
(I was enormously gratified to find out since, that she means pretty much the same to others, as she does to me.)
I was already pretty much enured to the stupidities and cruelties on Skins's island the first time I met the
Die alte Sau--I had lost the ability to be shocked by anything, in other words--but the dysmenopausal Kansas school teacher stunned me, by her hate, her rage, her vindictiveness.
Whoa. Here was hate, rage, and vindictiveness carried to a much lower depth.
And that was just from reading the
first comment of hers, that I read.
This is one mean woman.
Compared with the first-tier primitives, the second-tier primitives, the third-tier primitives, the
unterprimitiven, the
abbandonado primitives, and the
les risibles primitives--and that runs the whole gamut of Skins's island--well, all these other primitives are paragons of niceness, tolerance, and acceptance, compared with this year's top primitive. Even last year's top primitive, the greenbriar primitive, is wonderfully human, compared with this bitter old harridan.
This is one mean woman, one really mean woman.
