Whereas, during said weekend, alleged discussion of marraige, and commitmment took place, and;

Whereas, Opie, being of sound mind and body, took the oath to be president of the HMWH Club, upholding its' views, beliefs, shennanigans, and juvenile male banter, and;

Whereas, Article VII, Section 6, of the HMWH Club revised code specifically states "The HMWH Club President is to set an example of male solidarity, male pleasure in all things 'guy', such as; beer, juggy girls, establishments of ill repute, Hooters, gambling, sports, etc., and perceived male dominance over women", and that this sacred code was violated by the president, creating misfeasance, malfeasance, and nonfeasance among the constituants;

LET IT BE KNOWN, that under the power of Article I, Section II of the HMWH Revised Code, I, the President Emeritus, an invoking my contractual powers of impeachment over the acting persident.

Opie is to cease and desist from performing any presidential duties relating to the HMWH Club, must turn in his viking horns, and is not allowed to vote pending an official court martial, to be conducted on Wednesday, Feb. 19th at 8:30 p.m. EST.

Is Miss Opie a material witness? She would have to testify unless they got married, in which case the issue would be moot anyway.

*grins*...i got to sleep *errr* occupy a bed with a girl i wasn't married to for several hours, in which many things in the room were broken, and my pursuits of male dominence were acheived, a juggy girl were had, and beer was consumed from her belly button....let the allegations commence...i am strong, steadfast, and i get laid!


*god i'm gonna get killed*..but i'd love to see BB's face

OPIE, you are hereby summoned to the proceeding for tommorrow night, at 8:30, questions will ensue and wintesses will be called. I advise you seek legal representation, for these are serious charges. Love is not a laughing matter for us HMWH members.

Sorry Buddha, I am not a member, much less a member in good standing. I love women. That is how I always get in trouble. But I thought that bit of legal advice might stand you in good stead during the proceedings. Just call Miss Opie to testify and let the proverbial stuff hit the proverbial fan!

Actually, when Miss Opie reads his post you might not have to go through with the judicial proceedings. I think it's in poor taste to try a dead man.

chili..they do if you have a HOOTERS CARD, and have amassed over 500,000 hooters points, it's actually a VIP type booth in which 2 hooters gurls (one is the hostess, usually one of the prettier girls) sit and chat with you, and not only pour the beer but lift it's frostiness to your lips..and your view of the big screen is never blocked

No he's trying to lure the HMWHC members to Hooter's, ply them with malt liquor and mammaries, and get them to forget the whole thing!

I recommend that you be banned from Hooters in Destin and be restricted to stay with your own kind at the Hog's Breath Saloon.

Shame on you, Geo. As a journalist, you of all people (except maybe for chili) should know that 'moot' means open to debate and that 'academic' means that the issue is rendered meaningless by events.

Dagnabit Geo, I stand erected. The word 'moot' means both open to question, or debatable and also rendered practically insignificant.

I am not worthy...

No sweat FG, we all find ourselves dancing to the wrong damn tune sometime in our lives. In my case it's usually every time I dance, but that's what happens when you graduate from the Elaine Benes School of Dance.

Just like English to have a word that means two things 180 degrees apart!

misfeasance, malfeasance, and nonfeasance

We all do it FG - when I was studdying journalism there was a girl who had trouble distinguishing between the words incompetent, incontinent and impotent. She did get strange looks when she told us her family was upset because her 95-year-old grampa was impotent and that a particularly bad teacher was incontinent - she's paid a lot of money to write for a large news organization now - anyway, I digress - hang the turncoat and celebrate at hooters!

I always wondered what criteria the large news organizations use to hire people.

I guess I'm just old-fashioned...
MOOT POINT
From Nancy Maclaine: “Did the phrase a moot point originally mean ‘a debatable point’? Nowadays it seems to mean ‘an irrelevant point’ or even ‘a point so irrelevant it’s not worth debating’. Some actually have taken to referring to it as a mute point. What’s the history here?”
Moot point is one of those phrases that once had a firm and well-understood meaning, but no longer does. It was just as you say: a matter that was uncertain or undecided, so open to debate.
It comes from the same source as meet and originally had the same meaning. In England in medieval times it referred specifically to an assembly of people, in particular one that had some sort of judicial function, and was often spelled mot or mote. So you find references to the witenagemot (the assembly of the witan, the national council of Anglo-Saxon times), hundred-mote (where a hundred was an Anglo-Saxon administrative area, part of a county or shire), and many others. So something that was mooted was put up for discussion and decision at a meeting—by definition something not yet decided.
The confusion over the meaning of moot point is modern. It is a misunderstanding of another sense of moot for a discussion forum in which hypothetical cases are argued by law students for practice. Since there is no practical outcome of these sessions, and the cases are invented anyway, people seem to have assumed that a moot point means one of no importance. So we’ve seen a curious shift in which the sense of “open to debate” has become “not worth debating”.
The mute spelling is a development that has come about because moot is now a fossil word, usually encountered only in this phrase; there is an understandable tendency to convert the unknown into the known, and mute seems to fit the new meaning rather better. But it’s wrong.

Back to the topic at hand...
We all know that when the 'little head' gets hard, the big head goes soft. I say, GIVE OPIE ANOTHER CHANCE!!! I'm advising him to enter a plea of 'not guilty by reason of temporary mental defect'.
Father Goose

Not that I am involved in this internal procedural discussion by virtue of being a member in good standing in the HMWHC, but it would seem to me that being president of the HMWHC and proposing marriage (even if it was to Miss Opie) would be mutually exclusive acts. This is way more serious than a president of the United States accepting sexual favors from, say, an intern (just for argument's sake).

Not being a member of the HMWHC, I do not know what oath of office a president takes upon assuming office. If the oath of office sanctions marriage proposals during a president's term of office, then Opie has a case. Otherwise, he's toast. And when Miss Opie reads what he said about what they did over the weekend, posted on this board for all sorts of salacious minds to interpret as only male TTers can do, he will be toast regardless.

Nice knowing ya Opie!

Opie, I'm not a member of this organization, but based on the other rules I would guess that you're supposed to "get some" and never call her again ... not "get some" after "alleged discussion of marraige, and commitmment took place"
