Keen ‘Breaking News ‘watchers may well say that Wandel violated:
• Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII), which prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin;
• the Equal Pay Act of 1963 (EPA), which protects men and women who perform substantially equal work in the same establishment from sex-based wage discrimination;
• the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA), which protects individuals who are 40 years of age or older;
• Title I and Title V of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), which prohibit employment discrimination against qualified individuals with disabilities in the private sector, and in state and local governments;
• Sections 501 and 505 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which prohibit discrimination against qualified individuals with disabilities who work in the federal government; and
• The Civil Rights Act of 1991, which, among other things, provides monetary damages in cases of intentional employment discrimination.
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) enforces all of these laws. EEOC also provides oversight and coordination of all federal equal employment opportunity regulations, practices, and policies.
The said punishment being; tarred and feathered and ridden outta town on a rail! Adios WANDEL…
I therefore even in absentia, claim back what is rightfully mine! Let chaos reign once more whilst I attend to the wants and needs of…..sorry Jane, not that; you know what it did to my back last time!!!
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered-
We few, we happy few, we happy band of brothers and sisters;
For s/he to-day that sheds their blood with me
Shall be my brother/sister; be they ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle their condition;
And a certain gentlemen in Chicago now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That entwined with us upon this day.
Now I’m not saying that because Jes and RP appear to have gone to a rehab just up the road in Cape Cod, or that I have been left in charge! But if anyone steps outta line…..Whammo! Expect a darn good thrashing with a wet lettuce and a spell in the A2K timeout room.

@Tryagain,
Low and behold tryagain revealed some previous unknown goings on, interested to see how C/J responds to that!
My oh my, those American boys have no stamina and back bones. On a day
where strong men are honored for their bravery, Tryagain simulates an arthritis driven back ache. No wonder he bemoans the discrimination of people
over 40 - I know, right?
@CalamityJane,
No respect for Tryagain on his attempt to reclaim power. Wandel wasn't really that bad, was he?
@CalamityJane,
Oh I should never go on vacation - threads just go nuts!
@jespah,
Pickle my grandmother, tryagain makes one flying visit and creates havoc on the thread yet is dared again by our faithful readers.
@Dutchy,
Question: why would I wish to pickle your grandmother?
Reply; this is just too much! Do you know what time it is in California?
Jes, I share your enthusiasm, but I will not pickle your grandmother. Your family responsibilities remain your own. In any event, I would suggest forced-air drying rather than pickling. The meat will be tougher, but less vinegary.
Editors note:
For those who are confused, "Pickle me Grandmother" is a catchphrase from an Australian sitcom loosely based around "All In the Family" but less political. The show wasn't very good, but it did last 89 episodes.
Which probably explains why Dutchy walked into my office and says, "Excuse me, can you help me? I think I'm a moth."
I said, "You don't need a taxidermist. You need a psychiatrist."
Dutchy: "Yes, I know."
"So why did you come in here then?"
Dutchy said, "The light was on...."
@Tryagain,
Super Duper Moth Balls required for Grandma's clothes!
@Izzie,
TryAgain managing to mention taxidermy -- is that the secret word?
@Rockhead,
Victoriana!
taxi doh me!
As Kathleen Kete writes in The Beast in the Boudoir: Petkeeting in Nineteenth-Century Paris petkeeping rapidly developed into a mainstream passion in the nineteenth century, a solace against the tensions and tedium of daily life, and a means of communication: “it was the way bourgeois talked about themselves.” By the mid-nineteenth century, the pet dog in particular had become the cliché accessory to modern life. Breeds of dogs mushroomed. In 1788, the French naturalist Buffon described fourteen breeds. By the end of the nineteenth century, over two hundred breeds could be distinguished. Sheepdogs, Great Danes, bulldogs, collies, proliferating breeds of poodles and lapdogs, each reflecting their owners’ class, style, and intrinsic sensibilities....
Our attitude towards preserved pets depends on the character of the emotional bond between pet and owner. Consider Dante Gabriel Rossetti and his pet wombat named Top. Top the wombat died on November 6th, 1869 just two months after he joined the famous poet and painter’s equally famous menagerie in Chelsea.
The text reads:
I never reared a young Wombat
To glad me with his pin-hole eye
But when he most was sweet & fat
And tail-less, he was sure to die!
Besides Top, Rossetti had a barn owl named Jessie, two armadillos, rabbits, a raccoon that hibernated in a chest of drawers, wallabies, kangaroos, parakeets and peacocks, an Irish deerhound called Wolf, a Japanese salamander, two laughing jackasses, a Canadian woodchuck, and a Pomeranian Puppy called Punch.
Top stuffing! Oh my intrinsic sensibilities.
While Tryagain is stuffing his pet squirrel and mounting its skin, the reader
has to wonder what other transformations take place in the Tryagainshe household behind closed doors.
