Here's a thread about our UPPITY Honorary President -- Mr. Scorpio (an auxiliary member) started the thread.

1. link?

What am I missing?

[LostinVA]

2. Duh... it's there now

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. His thread is right on, sistah!

And I think he will make an excellent Honorary President!

BTW, he's hot, too!

Good to see you today!

:grouphug:

[xmas74]

4. How did I not get the invite?

I'm as uppity as they come.

Could you please mail me my membership card ASAP? And will we have cool decoder rings? Maybe a secret handshake?

[miss_american_pie]

5. There are initiation rites

but shhh, they're secret. :hi:

[xmas74]

8. I probably invented half of those rites!

[LostinVA]

6. I posted the thread two days ago, and it's still in the Lounge

Am sad about TAR, btw...

[xmas74]

7. That should have been non-elim, dammit!

They obviously thought it would be.

And sometimes I miss things. I probably missed that post.

[LostinVA]

10. I was hoping it was non-elim!!!

HOW THE HELL are Fran and Barry still there? It has to be because they can read maps... they are such bad racers... Like Kami and Karli... they suck but never get elimiated. There have been much better "old" teams -- like Don and MJ.

[xmas74]

12. They seem to be well-liked.

That has to be something in their favor.

And there have been much better older teams.

[LostinVA]

14. I know... they just annoy me

And, they aren't great racers...

btw... loved the Hippies' "Bowling Moms" shirts last week...

[xmas74]

16. I just love the hippies in general.

I think they will overall win the race. It's a back and forth between them and the frat boys.

I think the frat boys will screw it up in the end.

[LostinVA]

18. I'm wanting for the Fratties to hit a snag

I don't think they'll be able to handle that -- they're just too dumb....

[xmas74]

20. While the hippies are there for the love of travel

and the love of the race. And the hippies have had extensive travel experience, long before entering TAR.

Phil hates the frat boys. He has such a pained look on his face every time they miss getting eliminated.

[LostinVA]

24. Phil was scary dancing last night

[xmas74]

25. yes he was!

[LostinVA]

13. Oh, and as lesbian magnet, you are definitively in the club!

Because that is soooooooooo UPPITY!!!

[xmas74]

17. I found out the other day that I still have it!

We have two young women at my place of employment whom have both admitted to having crushes on me.

Why? "Because you are the most open, coolest mom we know!" Both have offered major appliances for me to join the club.

[LostinVA]

19. I'll have to see a photo of you before I can agree or not

[xmas74]

21. I only have a couple of old photos on my computer.

I'm careful w/ the new ones since my daughter is in them and I rarely post pics of her (unless they are old pics).

Small town and nosy people. I've heard them make jokes about sites like this-including this one. I don't want them knowing my name on here and twisting it.

[LostinVA]

23. No, I don't blame you

I wasn't telling you to post a photo... I was just saying I couldn't say you are definitely a lesbian magnet unless I knew what you looked like.

[xmas74]

27. I posted an old photo on here about a year ago.

Wonder where it's at now.

[amitten]

9. Count me in. I'm not really "uppity", but I don't take any crap.

Does that count?

[LostinVA]

11. THAT'S UPPITY!!!

[amitten]

15. Oh. I thought that was equality.

Crazy me! :crazy:

Must be my zany female hormones again!

[LostinVA]

22. We have reclaimed "UPPITY "

Just like GBLT groups have reclaimed "queer." It's ours! WE'RE UPPITY WOMEN!

btw -- we also have some wonderful DU men who are in our Men's Auxiliary. They are, of course, our equals, although at Club meetings, WE get to hold the remote control.

[RevCheesehead]

26. now THAT was worthy of a trip to GD!

Thanks for the link, and THANK YOU, MR. SCORPIO! :yourock:
