Nothing To Do With Anything Waterslides and Weddings
Posted by Mary Cashiola on Mon, Jun 7, 2010 at 10:26 AM
Any other weekend, Mike Carpenter would have won "favorite county commissioner" for officiating my friends' Robin and Bill's wedding. (Congratulations, you guys!)
- Stacey Greenberg
But there was no way he could compete with this:

Yep, that's County Commissioner Steve Mulroy at the Mid-South Peace & Justice Center's Bands Not Bombs Saturday.
In addition to all the cute bands and the water balloon fight, there was a waterslide that the kids were just loving. Adults were allowed on "as long as they don't hurt any of the kids," said Peace & Justice Center head Jacob Flowers, but I think most of the adults were busy, you know, watching bands, chatting, drinking beer.
And then, while I was talking with Mulroy and Church Health Center public relations manager Marvin Stockwell, a challenge was issued.
And really, who can resist a challenge? Obviously, not Marvin, me, or Mulroy.

I just showed my son the pictures (he's the young boy in the last picture) and he asks, "who WAS that old guy?"
Poofed, eh? I'm not sure why (other than that "Packrat"--who knew my comment had been poofed before anyone else did--just like s/he knows the identity of supposedly anonymous posters--seems to have insider access down at 460 Tennessee street--almost as if s/he works there or something).
In any event, sorry if anyone--other than Packrat--thought my comment was inappropriate.
Yeah, I work there, riiiiight. No, I don't work at the Flyer; I saw the comment gadfly, then I saw it wasn't there anymore. The fact that someone saw fit to remove it should make you think. I'm no arbiter of good taste, but that one just made you look like a perv.
So many here I recognize from visits to my Midtown clinic these past weeks. All I know to say is this: "You're welcome." And imagine my delight yesterday when Steve Jobs said, "One more thing....we've incorporated pink prism technology into the iPhone 4." So with the purchase of your new iPhone you'll be able to do a Smitty's iBleach prism tint without even coming to the clinic!
I'm actually interning with Smitty presently....come on down to Smitty's for a pink prism tint from packrat!
Mr. Pack: Don't think for a second I'm not watching your work. In fact, you're leaving the other interns in the dust. I'm thinking of flying you to London for a couple of weeks in July to explore a pair of new anal bleaching methods developed by none other than British Petroleum: The "Bottom Kill" and The "Junk Shot."
Pack: yeah, yeah, you don't work there, but you're able to get posts poofed, almost before they dry, and you obviously have ESP about the identity of anonymous posters rather than access to that supposedly private information. Yuh, right. And, along the same lines, the check's in the mail and you're from the IRS, and you're here to help me.
Come clean, Pack, before someone does it for you.
Anyway, I apologized. But who knew that a reference to armpits makes someone a "perv?" Who even knew armpits were taboo? Gillette will be surprised to hear that. Genital references are OK (I see them here all the time), but armpits, not so much. I guess a reference to ankles would get me arrested, eh?
Has Lloyd Binford http://www.memphisflyer.com/memphis/banned… come back from the dead to moderate the comments on this site?
Gadfly, your comment was personal and tacky and I removed it. Packrat doesn't work here. I don't even know his real name. If you don't like how this site is administered, blame me or the three other editors who have admin privileges.
Gad,
I think you are being singled out ole chap. There is some sort of cover-up going on here. If I have my time line correct. An automated message popped up on Packrat's iPhone at 9:32 AM. He alerted JC at 9:29 AM that a rogue post was about to hit the interweb. How he went back in time I do not know. At 9:45 AM a retroactive post removal was implemented (only the highest authority with level 7 clearance can implement a retroactive post removal per policy MF 1.1-2A). Then at 9:52 AM a reference was made on the interweb about a post that had never been published.
I don't know what is going on here. But something is fishy. I think someone is covering up something that never happened.
paranoia may destroya. gadflack, the only knowledge I have of who "anonymous" posters are on this forum is what my double-naught spy trained intuition tells me. I made a comment on your earlier post, someone else removed it and now you're fixated on me. Tiger Woods can now breathe a sigh of relief. Binford aside, I don't believe you've yet been banned in Memphis.
What's the fixation on O-nonymous posters? Gadfly, Tommy V, what's the deal? Some of us have very good reasons for NOT putting our mug up all over the place. As long as no one is making threats, deliberately disseminating false info or constantly slamming people for no reason there shouldn't be a problem with anonymity.
Hmmmm... maybe that's why certain people use their real names
