I need a MIACPP board ruling for a friend of mine.

Some of you have met my friend, let's say at a pre-game festivity.

So, my friend dutifully goes to church on Easter Sunday being in the right mind for said service.

Out of his control, a family sits down 2 rows in front of his and one of the members is a red hot 16-18 year old gal.

All fine and well you think. Well, as my friend tells it, this red hot gal was wearing very tight low rider pants that for most of the 1 1/2 hour service were allowing the display of a couple inches of probably virginal butt/butt crack.

My friend said he did his very best, but it was hard not to monitor the situation every once in awhile.

So, should he have:

1) Run to confession ASAP.

2) Tell the parents to have their daughter save the exposure for the boys at high school.

3) Count his blessings that going to church offered such additional inspiration.

I will await the MIACPP board's ruling on my friends precarious situation. 

PS: Thankfully, the rest of my friend's family had no visual angle on said scenario.

[DuffMan]

I'm going to have to go with #3 there, BDB

God bless! 

[janesvilleflash]

None of the above.
I would have traded seats with my wife so I wouldn't be exposed to it.

(you better get used to giving answers like that too Duffman)

[finsleft]

Tell your friend that such things are signs from God that he loves us.


In the legal profession, that's what's known as an open and shut case. I'm with Duff, clearly, #3 is the best option.

[sumander]

Gonna have to side with Duff on this one. #3 it is!

[Kira & Jaxon's Dad]

Definately Option #3.

[Touchdown Tommy]

Interesting situation Bob...The President will go with option 2.  I will assume that your scenery from the back pew wasn't nearly as good.  Most likely filled with old lady perfume and cheap aftershave.  Tell your friend that if he makes a return trip to Cville in early September (before the Bennies find the soft serve ice cream machines in the Refectory) he will be greeted with similar scenery.  BTW: Looking like my first Stiffy appearance of 07 will be at River Falls.  Make plans accordingly....

This is weird.  The Godfather has had like 3 posts in a row without ripping me.  Might be a new record...

Guys that Twins game last night was painful to watch.  I can't lie, I switched over to the Sopranos as I missed it on Sunday night.  Tony got a beatdown from Bobby Bacala.

[Johnnie Red]

BDB, I can only imagine that our Lord was trying to offer your friend some balance. Ask him if he recently had a plumber over to his house reaching down to fix a drain under the sink. Chances are he might have seen the same thing, though with a slightly different perspective. Comparable to TDT reaching down to the grill at the Stiftungsfestivities to get a burger. Never a pretty sight.

Three strikes and you are out! The Godfather

I say your friend should have gone with #4.

4) Remember in a few years that will be his innocent young daughter so he should have left church immediately and ran to the store to buy his daughter a pair of waders for her 16th birthday!

Ah...the voice of experience. We now know where TDT goes to pick up women!

I am just following the Godfather's example!

Baseball...what is that? NHL playoffs start tomorrow!!!

+k bennie
I'll go along with #4 except substitute granddaughter in my case - you younger folks may have to be looking at her 12th birthday!  

[Rico 21]

Sorry BDB, I have to agree with #4.

[Kilted Rat]

I'm here. Long hiatus ala Imus after citicizing women basketball players, referring to them as "nappy-headed hos".

I never said that, even though I don't necessarily disagree with Imus' opinion.

I love the "He stole our moment." You lost, your "moment" was making it to the NCAA Women's Championship game. Losers get no glory. If the media wouldn't have run with this story, less than 1% of all people ever hear it. The media stole any "moment" Rutgers was entitled to.

As far as what Imus actually said and calling it racist? That's like calling me sexist when I refer to a group of obese women as fat. Is calling them fat mean?  It very well could be, but I would be calling them that because of their BMI, not because of their sex or race.


Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton have said horrible things about Jewish people and frequently stereotype whites yet no one is calling for their resignation.


Again, I'm not defending what Imus said, I'm just saying he has the 1st amendment right to say what he wants to say. If you don't like what he has to say, don't listen to his show.




BDB,
Married man and potential future father in me says #4.
Male parts of me say #3.
Guilty catholic in me #1
Odds TDT would actually do #2 in that situation 20:1

[tmerton]

KR - I think you're letting your great love of women's basketball interfere with your thinking, and I'm sure you're not trying to suggest that Imus was accurate but merely insensitive.  Before you get any deeper, I'll pass on some wisdom from a fellow Okie named Will Rogers; one or two of these might prove useful right about now (say, e.g., #6).

1. Never slap a man who's chewing tobacco.
2. Never kick a cow chip on a hot day.
3. There are 2 theories about arguing with a woman...neither works.
4. Never miss a good chance to shut up.
5. Always drink upstream from the herd.
6. If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.
7. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it and put it back in your pocket.
8. There are three kinds of men: The ones that learn by reading. The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to touch the electric fence and find out for themselves.
9. Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.
10. If you're ridin' ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it's still there.
