I can hardly wait for the Times to besmirch the city of Hammond again so I can join in and trounce the city and it's people for the sport of it.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm you think they know what contrition means?

:smt005

:smt103 :smt079

An active pastime; recreation.
Mockery; jest: He made sport of his own looks.
An object of mockery, jest, or play: treated our interests as sport.
A joking mood or attitude: She made the remark in sport.

Look back in time it was an immigrant camp and is nothing to be proud of!

See how Hammond Indiana looked in 1960 @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZxgCl_gu8g

Remember how the dump looked in the 1950s downtown Hammond was nothing spectacular just rows shoddy building were the poor immigrants shopped.

Why are you picking on us, G Man?
BTW, the buildings were NOT shoddy downtown in the 1950's. It was just like downtown Gary, a nice, busy place where you could buy anything you needed.

It's waiting with "bated" breath, not baited. This isn't fly fishing.

Be advised.

That is good to know but I'm laying in wait with baited breath for the sport of it.

_____________________________________________________________________

bate 1 (bt)
tr.v. bat·ed, bat·ing, bates

1. To lessen the force or intensity of; moderate: "To his dying day he bated his breath a little when he told the story" (George Eliot). See Usage Note at bait1.

2. To take away; subtract.

[Middle English baten, short for abaten; see abate.]
bate 2 also bait (bt)
intr.v. bat·ed also bait·ed, bat·ing also bait·ing, bates also baits
To flap the wings wildly or frantically. Used of a falcon.

_______________________________________________________________

I'm on a fishing expedition haven't had any nibbles yet but for sure one will take the bait hook line and sinker!
:smt005 :smt005 :smt005

I don't have any plans on lessening the impact of the besmirched I'm planning to lay it on and thick mud will be on everybody from city hall to all the businesses and the homeless.

For the sport of it every day the people of Hammond wake running to get the news paper to find out what those Robert Taylor homes refuges from Chicago have done in Gary as if they don't live in your neighborhoods too and then they proceed to besmirch the whole city of Gary and it's people.

I have become accustomed to it.

For the sport of it :smt005 :smt006

Look real close at downtown Gary it was a dump in the 50s we were just greedy little children
that related the downtowns with sweets and toys and popcorn & the movies.

It was a dump and River Oaks was the Crown Jewel that Killed those filthy ruts with no parking called downtowns.

River Oak is now a dump and the Westfield shopping town.

Walmart is King!

Look at the size of the movie theaters now thank goodness for innovation and change.

:smt103 :smt079 emoticons are no longer available I guess the way I used them could be consider racist and would cause problems.
