A Patriotic Response to the Good Reverend Todd; or, Female Beauty is Multifaceted

Harrogate gives you a Memory, Kerri Strug's Olympic Vault, 1996. On a bad wheel, she brought home the Gold.

Thank you for sharing this amazing video of Bart Connor. I remember him winning the gold medal on the parallel bars in '84. But it's been a while time since I've followed the sport. When was the vault added to the men's competition?

Good Reverend:

It is unfortunate that you continue to live according to outdated standards. Kerri Strug was of course beautiful.

And BTW: Harrogate wonders what thy fellow Reverends might have thought of you, being familiar with and linking to Bart Connor, a (gasp!!!) "Man" who, after all, wore tights.

Perhaps you are not the bearer of old standards that you think we think you are.

:-P

Oh, Wise Harrogate, it is clear from your comments above that the epithet given to you by megsg-h (by which I mockingly address you here) was given in jest.

You are not as wise or clever as you believe yourself to be.

Reverend Todd, Harrogate only has one question for you:

Why do you insist on being such a Pollyanna all the time?

The Reverend John Todd said...

O Wise Harrogate, as you are fallaciously know on this blog:

I object to your use of Pollyanna. I do not pull my hair into a bun. I do not wear bobby socks.

I am, however--contrary to popular belief--excessively cheerful and optimistic, as you crudely point out. And to address your question, which I inclined to believe was posed in derision and not in earnest, as to why I am so bubbly (to borrow from the unrefined lexicon of your popular culture), I can only say this: it's innate. It's simply in my blood, I must confess. I can no more insist to be merry and bright than I can regulate the roaring level of testosterone that pumps through my manly physique at any given moment of the day.
