Trendy Village in Chicago: No Fat Chicks

National Ledger ^ | August 18, 2006 | Frederick Meekins

[Aunt Polgara]

Every day, when I look at my neighbors yard, I wish my neighborhood had a homeowners covenant. Though some have gone overboard, most were designed to keep out the riffraff.

Do you live near me? Every once in awhile when our neighbor two doors down goes off his meds, he sneaks over to our house in the middle of the night and "trims" our trees and bushes. I'd rather slit my wrists than ever live with a homeowners association.. talk about a gaggle full of micromanaging busybodies! We spent yesterday rescuing a friend from a condo association. She decided she'd rather have her own place, even if smaller, older and not as nice than have to put up with her neighbors mismanaging and micromanaging every aspect of her life.

Yeah I wonder too, there could be two reasons for her putting the armrest up, one good, and one bad.

if it was the bad one, his humor is pretty dry.....

“We want a more broad based retailer benefiting the village, rather than a niche market.”

But Lane Bryant IS based on broads! Broads with broad asses!

[California Patriot]

I know what you mean. They're everywhere.

[tomzz]

You can be big without being overweight....

That was Katie Sandwina in her late teens or early twenties, about 6-1, 220 or thereabouts...

[California Patriot]

Yes, but that isn't good either.

[Lazamataz]

I'm moving in.

NO FAT CHICKS.

[Lazamataz]

She's fat.

[dakine]

Bronko Nagurski in drag....

[tomzz]

Worked for her. Katie was one of the strongest women ever to walk the Earth and one of the prettier women of her age. She could put 300 lbs on a bar and do military presses with it.

[Professional Engineer]

Wow!

[California Patriot]

Impressive, but certainly not feminine or attractive, to me. If she was attractive to you ... well, more power to ya, bud. I don't think that's a majority viewpoint, though.

[N. Beaujon]

I think this is funny. Let's watch while they cannabalize each other. Sounds like a recipe for Lord of the Flies (if you'll pardon the double pun, entendre or whatever that is.)

[N. Beaujon]

Would you think it is "freedom" to enact a ban on firearms in a certain area?

The constitutionality aside, I think it would be funny. Imagine this group of libral idiots who basically advertises their open for business: burglury, rape, crime, murder. Have a ball! We're totally defenseless. I think this goes under the heading of nature weeding out the idiots.

MEASURING THE WEIGHT OF THE WOMEN...


NEXT,

they'll be measuring the dimensions of a man's...er..."member."

[tomzz]

To my thinking, something like 95% of the fair sex are simply too small and too short to be attractive. Katie IS attractive to my thinking.

[California Patriot]

Fair enough. Being small and short is attractive to me in a woman. But up to a point, tallness can be a turn-on too.

I just don't go for the Amazon look. If you do, fine.

With California being on the west coast and Georgia on the east, it's unlikely we love close by.

I know homeowners associations aren't for everyone, that's why people should read before they sign. I believe it's a damn shame so many people, like my neighbors, thinking their grass only requires cutting twice a year and allowing mosquitoes to breed in their junk piles has reduced us to this point.

Yes, I'd like those "busybodies" in my neighborhood, because I'd very much like to sit in my backyard, that I've worked my butt off on for twenty years, without being eaten alive.
