Reaping the Whirlwind

For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk; the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up. Hosea 8:7 (KJV)
And how. So much for "lifting the level of discourse." Rather, it has sunk to worse-than-high school. It's a little funny, though. I wonder if the Chef has a recipe for crow? Does it mean the end of the club? Hardly. Each of them will still have friends. But it should make us all think twice about "risking your reputation and pushing the limits at the same time." Push the limits upward, not down. And not by using "I'm better-than-you" BS. Because you're not - and you're just bringing the level of discourse down. Some things should go without saying... but apparently, they can't.

  • I still don't get it, personally. Was it stress? Was it ego? Was it copious quantities of booze??

    Hope the move went well :-)

  • Beats me, AUA.

    Move's not too bad... I'm heading back to DC tonight (Friday) to try one more time to get rid of my furniture and finally clean out the place to turn over the keys.

    It's all good. :)

  • I'm sorry that I wasn't clearer. I am aware that it's really an issue borne of one person.

    I'm still interested in hearing a recipe for crow, though.

  • Sorry. I added an extra comma and I hated that.

    Excellent restrained post.

    I usually can't pull those off.

    Welcome back to DC.

    It's sad because it seems like some of the members of the group are decent human beings.

    And one idiot is taking their entire name and wiping his ass with it.

    A national tragedy.

  • Thanks Penny, Jinxy.

    I only have a small amount of stuff to take back, really. All the big stuff should be taken care of this weekend. :)

    The bad thing? I had too much caffeine on the way down to stay awake and now I can't sleep. ha!
