Question

[Remec]

I've looked about, but haven't found an answer to this, or an email for whomever might be the person to contact, but this seemed a likely place to ask. <g>

I submitted a poem and it got listed in the wrong category (actually, my one and only story submitted thus far had the same thing happen to it)...I think I rolled my mouse while the category field was still active...how do I go about getting it moved to the correct location?

Hearing sirens in the distance, I turn on the radio and learn that Remec has escaped from the Sexual Roleplay Forum.

Naturally, I do my duty and call the Sexual Secret Police...

Resubmit (Make sure you include the word EDIT in the title) and explain to Laurel in the notes. But remember that it may have been Laurel who changed it in the first place.

Simultaneously hijacking and bumping Remec's thread to wish you a happy birthday, MG. May Rice-a-Roni rain into you life at your merest whim.

Btw: Is it really the San Francisco treat? Are there no others?

 

[Remec]

Welllll.......

I seem to recall hearing rumors of stuff when I lived out there in the late 70s and early 80s...but being only in junior high and high school at the time, I really didn't pay much attention to such things...I do remember that Twinkies were right out, though...

One never forgers the twinkies they knew at that age, Remec.

I always think the word "twinkie" sounds so damn rude!


*waves hello to Remec*

I'll bet you I'm the only one here who remembers the details of the "Twinkie Defense". The notorious "Milk & Twinkies" case.

I don't remember the details (I think it was actually before my time), but I remember the gist of it & always wished I was the genius who thought that up!

This past November was the 25th anniversary of the murder of Mayor George Mosconi and Supervisor Harvey Milk. No one who lived in SF at the time will forget. The Twinkie defense became a joke. I don't care to get into it, but if one researches the trial they will see it was not as simplistic as the media made it.

Let me get this straight: a guy commits a murder, and blames it on too much sugar?


I've heard that sugar can make you hyperactive, and meat makes you more aggressive but...

Oh no, I remember it, that's was sort of why I referred back to it. But, let me apologize if it seemed to be in poor taste...has it really been 25 years? <shaking head>...my sense of humour can be morbid, risque, punny, and black to varying degrees, and I prolly shouldn't make light of a rather senseless crime...

Good lord, Remec. If you can't do that here, where can you?

Oh, don't worry little one! I'll ask it for you.

Ahem! "How long will it take before my story will be posted?"

Legitimate "The Question"

I've just uploaded my first ever poem "Hometime" and was wondering if the 'Principia Mathematica' extended to answering "The Question" with regards to poetry.

Viz: How long will it be before my poem is published?

Congrats, Gauche. Maths doesn't do poetry so I'll answer from experience. Most of mine were put up within 24 hours or less. Then you should check the "new poetry" thread to see how you might have made it perfect. (I hope it wasn't a haiku.)

I remember it quite well. Dan White's lawyer claimed that all the junk food he ate while growing up, including Twinkies, caused some kind of diminished capacity, much like being drunk or stoned caused diminished capacity. I don't know if the jury bought it or not but they found him guilty of two counts of manslaughter. That MIGHT have been correct for the murder of George Moscone, because Dan White didn't kill him until he knew for sure that he wouldn't be reinstated to the Board of Supes, but the murder of Harvey Milk was strictly premeditated, not a spur of the moment decision. He was paroled after serving the minimum sentence and a few years later he committed suicide, probably in a fit of remorse. Oddly, if he had been given a death sentence, which he deserved, Dan White would probably still be alive because these things move very slowly inCalifornia.

I think they called it the "Twinkie Defense" rather than the "Big Mac Defense" because "Twinkie" is such a dumb name.

 

[Guest]

Box, you did not read the article I provided. White's lawyer did nothing of the kind. A professional witness (shrink) explained the "diminished capacity" via White's severe clinical depression. A mere clue to his depression was that he'd been eating junk food (among so many other signs). No one stated that the twinkies caused the depression or that they had anything to do with an excuse for murder. The press picked up on it and "created" the phrase "twinkie defefnse" which only served to incite the public's feelings of injustice, mine included.
