Bass Thrown
From Bridge
Ronald Gerald Palosaari, dis-placed
seminary student, got a
jump on the fishing season last
Friday. He tried his luck on perch
and bullhead at Como lake.
On a rented water bike, Ronald
caught two small bullhead, five
equally small perch and a six-pound
black bass.
In the day's excitement he over-looked
the bass. Not until he was
on his way home to his Minne-apolis
penthouse apartment did
Ronald realize his mistake.
Black bass are not in season
until June, and so Ronald, being
a displaced seminary student and
noticing the fish was still alive,
threw him out the car window over
the rail of the Lake street bridge.

Ronnie said.

Zeteeta to
die Edetat
Dear Editor,
We of the Royal Realist party wish to express
our appreciation to those who supported our candi-dates
in the student senate election. This is espec-ially
gratifying considering the five candidates of
the opposing parties.
Very special congratulations is deserved by all
those who campaigned so effectively for RR candi-dates.
The confidence which the student body has
placed in Dwight, Milt, Gerry, Marilyn, and Evan
will be most effectively carried out as all the stu-dents
jointly co-operate toward an even more ef-fective
government, and a better Bethel.

Something To
Think On
By Herb Anderson
I wanted to travel that dusty road
His feet had trod that day.
I wanted to tell Him it wasn't me
Who had nailed Him to a tree.
And yet I could not move.
My feet were in the bog
Of selfishness and enmity
And spiritual hypocrisy.
The stench of my bog
Had not disturbed
My undiscerning senses.
That day the smell was more than I could bear.
I longed for cleanliness and purity and light.
Dismayed I raised my eyes
Above the maze of artificiality
Three crosses, stained with blood,
Upon the hill of Calvary.
Somehow my feet came free.
I climbed the dusty road.
Horrified I realized
It was because of me that He had died.
For it was me who nailed Him to the tree.
0 God, forgive . . .
There Must Be
A Reason-
Since I haven't got an A average this sem-ester
here is my plea to my instructors as to why
my grades should be raised.
1. There must be a mistake somewhere.
2. I live far away from the college and I feel
this extra travel should be considered when
you give me my grades.
3. I have studied the subject from the broad
philosophical viewpoint and, therefore, I
was unable to answer your technical catch-questions.
4. The questions were ambiguous and, there-fore,
my answers should be graded accord-ing
to the reasonable interpretation that I
made of your questions.
5. Conditions in the room were not conducive
to concentration.
6. I was not well at the time of the exam.
7. I know many members of the class who do
not work as hard as I do and who get a
better grade. I am recognized among my
classmates as a good student—you just ask
any one of them.
8. It is not a higher mark I seek; I care
nothing for marks, I think marks are wick-ed
and disapprove of them. However, this
pernicious system of which I am the victim
requires marks for achieving success and
therefore, I seek a higher grade.
Getting out this paper is not a picnic.
If we print jokes, people say we are silly.
If we don't, they say we are too serious.
If we don't print every word of all contribu-tions,
we don't appreciate genius.
If we make a change in the other fellow's
write-up, we are too critical.
If we don't we are blamed for poor editing.
Now, probably somebody will say we swiped
this from some other paper. We did—from the ST.

Final Words Expressed
With the distribution of this issue, the CLARION staff of 1957-58
finishes its work. The copy you receive on April 17 will be the work of
new editors.
Although at times the work as an editor of a college newspaper is
extremely discouraging, especially at all-night sessions to meet dead-lines,
such gratifying moments that do come occasionally when we
think we have done an acceptable job, outweigh these feelings of
We have tried to be objective, current, and fair in our news cover-age.
We have tried to be exciting, helpful, and provocative in our fea-tures.
Our failure in these areas to satisfy your expectations and needs,
was not intentional but only 'because we were unsuccessful.
Whatever success we have attained can be attributed to a willing
and talented staff, not to the editor.
Editors of the 1958-1959 CLARION—we leave you the headaches,
the deadlines, the discouragements and the pleasures of a worthy ex-perience.
Problems In Adjustment
It is hard to determine at times whether certain characteristics
of our personalities are good or bad. The ability to adjust is one such
When a freshman comes to college he is forced into an environment
that is quite different from anything he has met before. He is forced
to live with strange people whose various temperaments he must learn
to work with. The degree that he can adjust to his new situation is an
indication of his success at college.
When close friends are separated for one reason or another, it is
better for them to find new friends than to live in past experiences
and lament their loneliness. This area of adjustment is part of growth
and change that is necessary for maturity and progress.
When a person becomes a Christian it is necessary for him in order
to develop in the Christ-like life to reorientate his objectives and
attitudes and in this way adjust to his new experience.
The ability to adjust is not always good for us. Unfortunately,
it can, if we are not careful, compel us to accept situations and values
that are harmful to ourselves and society.
Much of the adjusting we do is done by default. It is usually easier
for us to accept an injustice than to object to it. Those few individuals
that do protest we often unfairly condemn as malcontents.
When we accept the morality of those about us instead of examin
ing its true worth to our life we might accept some things that are
harmful. To be of value to society it is necessary to conform in some
areas but we should not be forced to sacrifice Christian ideals to con-form.
We, for the most part, have allowed ourselves to adjust to demands
of Christianity. Very seldom, unfortunately do we seriously respond to
the pleas of the minister. We have become conditioned by hearing them
so often; and we can usually rationalize our way out of his argumeitt.
We have been described as the "silent generation". Bethel students
are not among the least of those who have allowed themselves to be
passive toward the world and problems about them. It is necessary to
set aside a special week in order for us to think seriously about our
Christian life. An elaborate campaign is necessary for us to get ex-cited
about student government.
Although at times it is best for us to accept our circumstances,
we must not allow our environment to squelch our ideals.

of campus here, and those buildings over there

"Man! Look at all that mud. Been havin' drag

fall. Turf hasn't settled yet. This is the college

"What's that down there?"
"That's the stacks where all the campus roman-ces
"I had no idea how important a library was
on a college campus."
"You can't have a college without a library.
It's the only place where whispering in public isn't
bad manners."
"What're those buildings over there?"
"Those are dorms. That's the girls dorm. The
dining hall is in there too."
"You mean they've got the girls and the food
all in one building. That really is a combination!"
"On that corner is the boy's dorm. You can
tell it by that shook look."
"Seems quiet enough to me."
"It's like a tomb at this time of day, only an
hour since breakfast. The graduates from the other
two dorms live in the one in the middle."
"Symbolically placed between the two I see."
"Yes. It's sort of a buffer zone. This campus
is well planned. Notice the symbolism of the field-house
standing 'between the boy's dorm and the
seminary. Quite often, the fieldhouse stands between
the boys and graduation."
"That parking lot is well placed right behind
the girls dorm."
"But of course. We think of everything. By the
way did you say you had an appointment at nine-thirty

On The Creation
Of A Pudd

place before his eyes. He watched with mounting

phenomenon — a living being — a left-handed
What a discovery! What a success! Astound-ing!
He would be famous. "But quickly now; I
mustn't let it die," he thought as he feverishly ad-justed
the wonk and added more schmods.
"A little more gummidge and the clug will
fotsal." He whortzed the bleeg and veebed the
puggle; then he stood up—to get a greater perspec-tive

down his precious accomplishment in his excite-ment,
'but mainly to relieve his aching anatomical

reporters; my statue in the park; a movie of my
life; a citation from the president; my testimonial
for Gogo golfballs; my name in scientific textbooks;
a new hamburger named after me—just think, a
So deep in his own glory was Crudley that he
failed to notice that the fotch had broken and the
left-handed pudd was loose. Too late he realized the
situation, for the pudd was upon him thrusting its
chubber into him. He groaned his last. Gone was his
glory. The pudd fled.
But, you say, there is no such thing as a left-handed
pudd. And right you are, for everyone knows
that there are only right-handed pudds.

Warming up in a pre-season practice is Les Borms, returning letter-man
and pitcher. Aqur$ arta% As of the present time, some of the rules regarding Bethel's foot-ball
next season are uncertain. According to Coach Lundin, the Royals
and the new Badger-Gopher football conference in particular have not
yet formulated definite policies regarding several controversial football
As we stated in this column recently, the NCAA has adopted a
new conversion scoring policy whereby a team can score two points
after a TD by successfully running or passing the ball over the goal
line, or it can kick the usual placement for one point. The NAIA has
not yet adopted this policy.
BETHEL IN RECENT years has not officially played under the
rules of either the NCAA or the NAIA according to Coach Lundin. In
fact some rules such as those regarding substitution have not been
clarified. As a result Bethel in the past has played some of its games
with free substitution and others with restricted subbing under present
NCAA rules.
Such inconsistencies as this plus the new question of the scoring
of conversions should be clarified. No doubt this will be accomplished
soon in the detailed organization of the BGC football league. Such
clarification of pigskin rules would certainly be advantageous to grid-iron
play at Bethel.
THE MORA HIGH school basketball team that represented Region
Four in this year's state tournament was captained last season by a
Bethel freshman, Jim Christiansen . . . Prospects for this year's base-ball
and track teams at Bethel look comparatively bright. Let's back
those "oft-nearly forgotten" athletes . . . Aging Sugar Ray Robinson
fooled nearly everybody last Wednesday in lasting all 15 rounds to
beat Carmen Basillio by a split decision and regained the middleweight
championship for the fifth time. Boxing certainly needs more colorful
ringmen like Robinson and Basillio to revive the gradually dying sport.

Bethel Defeats Braves ;
Haney Lauds Royal Team
Bethel trounced the Milwaukee Braves 10-3 in a pre-season ex-hibition
game played at Al Lang Field, in St. Petersburg, Fla., last
When the St. Louis Cards failed to show up at game time, the
Braves manager, Fred Haney, called his old college chum Lynn Lundin,
Bethel coach, and arranged a last minute game.
WITH LEW Burdette pitching for the Braves, Jack Tierney scor-ed
in the first inning with a home-run.
The next two innings went
scoreless with Les Borms and
Burdette both pitching no-hitters.
In the fourth Bethel scored four,
with Dean Baurle, Ken Albright,
Ted Ludlow and Terrible Tierney
making the runs. Hank Aaron and
Adcock hit two home runs in the
top of the fourth. Borms and Bur-dette
continued to hold the score
at 5-2 as they again pitched no-hit
innings in the 5th, 6th and 7th.
THE CROWD went wild in the
eighth as Eddie Matthews drove a
long fly ball out to center field
with the bases loaded but Terrible
Tierney came through again as
the ball hit his mitt and retired
the Braves.
In the ninth Bomber Baurle hit
one out of the field with the bases
loaded sending Tierney, Albright
and Wayne Carlson home. Making
the score 9-2. After two strike outs
Albright finally hit putting Ludlow
on the home base. As the only man
hitting, Red Schoendist made the
score three for the Braves.
Rumor is that Haney has con-tracted
Borms and Tierney for
contracts with the Braves.
Track Squad Starts At
Carleton Relays April 19
Bethel will field its strongest
track squad in the history of the
college at the opening meet, the
Carleton relays April 19th.
Dashes and distances will be the
backbone to the squad this year
with the return of lettermen Jim
Jackson, Ron Olson (captain),
Beryl Munson, Stu Luckman, Al
Carlson and Bob Johnson.
LAST YEAR'S mainstays in the
field events were Don Becker in
the shot put and discus and Al
Christenson in the pole vault.
Becker has already surpassed his
conference record of last year in
practice this spring.
Of the new comers, freshman
Rodger Purcell and sophomore
Denny Nerstad are looking excep-tionally
good in practice. Purcell
has run the 100 yard dash in under
ten seconds in a Florida high
school meet and is reported to be
nearly as capable at the low hur-dles.

Meets Here Apr. 7-8

As the result of a violent argu-ment
here in the CLARION office,
the CLARION has decided to run a
brief biographical sketch on the
epoch-filled life of Roy Dalton,
Born in beautiful, green Stovall
county, Virginia, in the year 1901
or thereabouts (A. D.), he spent
his boyhood there in the fields

fashion—indeed a fitting
life for one born April 1.

Law School Admissions / Hi! I'm clueless and in need of help.« on: March 29, 2004, 06:03:15 PM »
Hi, I'm a junior in high school and I've recently decided that I want to enter law.
The problem is, I'm quite clueless about it.
I've heard about the LSAT, about the pre-law/law programs.. but I don't KNOW about them.
I'd appreciate it very much if I could get some feedbacks from this post..
It would be SO much help!
Which classes should you take for pre-law?
Which schools have a strong pre-law program?
Exactly HOW hard is it to get into a pre-law/law school?
How many times can you take the LSAT?
and for those who are currently in pre-law/law.
Do you regret your choice?
How is it like being in pre-law/law? (Work amount, opportunities)
grr. I had so many more questions but I can't think of them right now.
Once again, I'd appreciate some feedbacks and hopefully emails if it's okay.
Thanks and GOD Bless!

gay..touched his semen...wiped ..sniffed..hiv fear (HIV FROM SNIFFING, 2009)
dear doctor, I WENT THROUGH ALL UR FORUMS BUT COULD NOT FIND SIMILAR QUESTION....SO PLZ HELP...i belong to homophobic country u are the only help!! i m a gay who recently came in contact with a another gay don't know his sexual history..we mutually mastubated i touched his semen ,i wiped my finger as soon as i touched..till here everything was fine...but stupidly i smelled/sniffed right after wiping it off....{did not touch my nose with the finger though} the semen smeared finger which i had wiped ...do you think i might get hiv like that ...is it possible that hiv virus still might be there and travelled inside my nose...i could not find answer to this sitiuation in any of the forums....PLz HeLP....I M DIEING OF HIV FEAR...PLZ HELP...!! thank you doctor
You're worried about contracting HIV from sniffing a spunked-up finger? Relax Max. Your HIV-acquisition risk is completely nonexistent.
I'll post below a few other "sniffing" questions from the archives.
Be well.
Dr. Bob
I smelled hiv charged farts... help! Sep 9, 2009
there wasnt any odor, but i know i inhaled them, i know inhalation is a route of medicine administration, so it does gets to your bloodstream, the other reason is that i have a weak immmune system so that increases my chances of contracting the virus, (i have a masters of public health) i dont want to wait 3 months, is PCR recommended? thanks wonderful dr. bobby... Linda
Response from Dr. Frascino
Hi Linda,
You have a master's degree in public health and you're worried that you may have contracted HIV because you smelled odorless HIV-charged farts????? Tell me Linda, where did you get that public health master's diploma? EBay perhaps???
Linda, let's you and I think this through, OK? If HIV were transmitted by airborne farts, wouldn't everyone who has dinner in a Mexican restaurant be infected? I mean come on; those refried beans can generate enough combustible gas to launch the space shuttle, right?
So relax Linda. HIV is not transmitted via farts, fragrant or otherwise.

STD from worn Pantyhose and panties sniffing (PANTY PARANOIA) (PANTYHOSE SNIFFING, 2008) Oct 7, 2008
Hi Dr Bob,
Can you get STD such as gential warts, herpes from sniffing worn pantyhose / panties? These items has been masturbated on with dry spots on them if you know what I mean.. Also, just recently found that my roomate's sister has gential warts and I have been sniffing her worn pantyhose. Should I be worry on catching the warts?
Response from Dr. Frascino
Genital warts or herpes from sniffing worn pantyhose??? "These items has been masturbated on with dry spots on them if you know what I mean."??? Actually, no, I don't know what you mean. Who is masturbating on the dirty pantyhose? Would that be you or the original pantyhoser or the pantyhoser's boyfriend perhaps????? Oh, never mind, it doesn't much matter, as your STD risk from sniffing dirty spunked-up fragrant undies is nonexistent. (See below)
You recently learned that your roommate's sister has "gential" warts (whatever the hell that is) and since you've been sniffing her soiled pantyhose, you wonder if you should worry about catching warts!?!? Hmm . . . no, silly boy, but you should worry that your roommate's sisters (or worse yet your roommate) might find you in a state of olfactory orgasmic bliss while having her panty hose pulled over your head with your nose luxuriating in the fragrant vapors.
Dr. Bob
sniffing panties Jun 15, 2009
I like to sniff my wife panties. Am I sick?
Response from Dr. Frascino
Nope. Olfaction (the sense of smell) is one of life's pleasures and it enhances our enjoyment in the sexual as well as non-sexual realms. Are you at risk for HIV from panty sniffing? Nope! Sniff away bud. I'll repost some information from the archives from other sniffers.

Used Panties Aug 26, 2008
I found a used pair of panties at the laundromat. They were unwashed, and there was a spot on them with dried vaginal secretions. Can I get any STD's from licking it or putting my penis on the dried vaginal secretions?
Response from Dr. Frascino
Another panty thief! I had no idea knickers were so difficult to keep a hold of. I knew people stole cell phones, iPods, wallets, purses and the occasional presidential election, but soiled panties??? (See below.)
Your STD/HIV worries are completely unwarranted. Lick away! (But I really do think it's easier to clean them in the Laundromat washing machine, don'.)
Dr. Bob
Licking Panties (PANTY PARANOIA) (PANTIES, 2008) Aug 3, 2008
Hi Doc,
I didnt want to bug you so i triend to do my own research and read up on my issue but i couldnt find an exact scenario. So anyways, yesterday I was at my friends house and i made up an excuse to go to the washroom. On my way, i noticed that the laundry room door was open, so i went in. I found a pair of his moms panties on the floor, i stuffed them in my pocket and went home. When i got home i noticed there was a small yellow stain on them. I licked it and masterbated. what are the chances that i have hiv? If they were washed? or unwashed? The stain was dry.
Response from Dr. Frascino
Hello Panty-Licker-Guy,
Washed or unwashed, stained or pristine, your HIV-acquisition risk is nonexistent. HIV does not live for long outside the body. By the way, do you really think your friend's mom is HIV positive? As for your panty paranoia, you are not alone. (See below.) The only real risk I see is your getting caught head first in the dirty close hamper with your pockets stuffed full of Mom's soiled g-strings. In which case, as Ricky often said to Lucy, you'd have some 'splainin' to do!
Dr. Bob
Can i get HIV from panty? Jul 31, 2008
Hi just very worried..i got a panty from my couzins cabinet.i put it on my penis and masturbated.and used it to whipe all the semen can i get HIV from that??im so worried.
Response from Dr. Frascino
I have often reminded readers of this forum to check the archives for the information (or reassurance) they seek, because I've answered so many questions over the years that nearly every imaginable sexual situation or fetish has been addressed. Even your question about stealing panties and using them to "burp the nephew" is not unique! Take a look below!

HIV from panties (PANTY PARANOIA) (PANTIES) May 23, 2008
I found a pair of panties in the grass on my way home a few days ago. They were dry and didn't seem to have any stains/mark on them. I'm ashamed to say that i stuffed them in my pocket and took them home to masturbate by wrapping them round my penis Could i be at risk of contracting HIV?
Response from Dr. Frascino
Another panty-guy? You guys should form a club or something. (See below.) Your HIV risk is nonexistent. Spend some time reviewing the information on this site related to how HIV is and is not transmitted. I'll reprint below some questions from other panty-fixated dudes.
Be well. Stay well.

Please select me, mentally dying over here in India dude - the pantie-stealing-guy again from Germany! Apr 17, 2008
Please select me, mentally dying over here dude - the pantie-stealing-guy again!
Please I beg you buddy, can you please answer my follow-up questions, about to marry my cousin dude - ~1 month ahead! Traditional ceremonial stuff has already started Bob, I'm right now in India! It's not Germany where I could seek help very easily.
This email very is short considering my old "Please answer, I beg you, please answer this begger!" email. So please take you merry sweat time to reply, but please reply before this Friday - they are going to set a fix wedding date dude. I truly admire you, - but somehow I have the feeling you think that I'm a bastard kind of guy, right? Whatever you Bob, please answer point 6 at least.
My final questions:
Did you read my email completely and did replied factually on the facts I have told you? or did you brush me off somehow because I am mental case? * no offense 2. Does the use or NO use of detergent play any role in these scenarios? 3. Does a cracked penis skin play any role in these scenarios? 4. What about the risk of me picking up a pantie from the street. * you can find the whole story in the SIDE NOTE section of my old email 5. What if she hand washed her clothes with no detergent? 6. In point 2 of my old email, the pantie was not fully dried AND maybe had a stain (vaginal fluids maybe, but it was no blood stain for sure) in the crotch part - does this play any role? any detergent used or not, is an unknown variable! The pantie was washed for sure, but maybe the stain did not completely wash away.
Do you think I am HIV negative considering my whole old email and current extra detail in point 6 (stain part) of this email? 8. Finally do you think that I need a HIV test? or not needed at all? Gonna marry if no HIV test is needed!
Otherwise I'll have to test before this situation gets out of hand. Please advise again.
Thank you, and I love you. Really. When I get back to my country I will try to donate, it's in my completely rational mind! Hahah hahah. I debt always. Yours only truly nuts friend.
Response from Dr. Frascino
Hello Mentally Dying Panty-Stealing Guy,
Now exactly which part of "your HIV fears are completely irrational and unwarranted" are you having difficulty understanding?
To respond to your repetitive final questions:
Yes, I read it as well as the gazillion follow-up questions you've sent since. No, I did not brush you off. But yes, you are indeed a mental case.
No risk.
No risk.
No. (HIV testing is not recommended or warranted!)
I once again advise you to add HIV to your impressive list of irrational hypochondriacal fears: testicular cancer, brain cancer, lung cancer, liver cancer, etc.
I also once again strongly urge you to seek psychiatric help, because you are one screwed up nutcase.
Finally, even if you are "mentally dying" or whatever, if you have additional questions or worries about your stolen-panties antics, you should address those questions and concerns to your shrink, not me! I really have nothing else to offer you. I'll repost your original question below, just in case any of our readers are missing a pair of panties.
Dr. Bob
Please answer, I beg you, please answer this begger! Mar 31, 2008
Sir Bob,
I mailed you one pretty long HIV related, and pantie filled email a few days ago, no answer yet. I always thought I had testicular cancer before I got it screened after 10 years or so, and guess what I have no cancer - just something called "bag of worms" harmless. In these 10 years, I thought that I had brain cancer, lung cancer, liver cancer, etc. and repeatedly held very long farewells at school before each summer. See how stupid and irrational I am!
I'll try to beg you, since I am not in position to actually help your NGO financially like most people are - sorry about that. So here is the real deal, I am not about to propose, already happed, got engaged over the phone and actually ABOUT to enter this arranged marriage (happily). I am from western Europe, she is from India - we are cousins. It OK in our tradition, no offense. Never even kissed a girl, and afraid about HIV, those panties are giving me sleepless nights.
Please answer my pantie related near silly questions, please these are real life questions - it's not a hoax or a joke! Wedding is about 2 months ahead!
Noticed you haven't replied to any question for a fews days got me worried. Thank god you replied on the 29th to a few people in need. Please include me in your next selection. I need you, please Sir Bob.
Below is my old email just for the record, in case you can't find it anymore. Please I beg, really depressed right now. I know it not your job to make everyone happy, but try me! _____
Hi Robert,
Sorry this may sound like all those pantie questions you have in your archive, but really I had to ask mine - since I think I have different case.
I never had sex, not even oral just or kissing, and I think these stupid encounters below might ground me for life. This issue has come up again in my mind after so many years of rest, anyways I need to know your answer now, it's killing me! By the way I have never done it again, I do not steal/ or pickup panties anymore.
I have rash on my back these days (concentrated on my upper back), started about 2 weeks ago, maybe I had all the time but it's now more prevalent. These are small red/purplish slightly raised dots, that if you press them they loose their color - because the blood goes away for a few seconds. Might be HIV rash? Anyways I am about to propose to my girl, and really worried that my life will fall apart because of this.
About 7-10 years ago:
I stole a g-string from my neighbors washing line, it was washed and dry. Put on, and later wrapped it around my penis to masturbate, due to friction I might have cracked some skin on my penis. Is there any risk of me getting Hiv? Do not know, if she used any detergent at all, all I know is that it must have been washed, since it was left to dry with her other clothes. Later I washed it for her, and put it back there!
Few weeks later I again stole a pantie from my neighbors washing line, Put on, and later wrapped it around my penis to masturbate, due to friction I did crack some skin on my penis, because I later washed my penis, and the soap was irritating on the cracked space, due to coming in contact with blood I guess. The pantie was washed for sure, but do not know if she used any detergent, or if she did a cold or hot cycle. This time around the pantie was not fully dried, not really wet also, but more than damp. Is there any risk of me getting HIV through my cracked penis skin?
I might have tried to push the little bit if of these panties in my anus, but just a tiny bit. Not sure if I did it! Cant really recall for sure! Hiv risk from this encounter?
This neighbor of mine, is an African escort girl, so please take this in to your expert answer. AND what is she has not washing machine and hand washed her clothes, with no detergent?
This one took place about 2 years after I first started this crazy thing with my escort neighbors laundry.
- Stole a few panties from her bedroom draw, while I was helping her at her home with her TV settings. The panties where dry, do not know if they where washed or not! Although most probably they where washed, since I think that I did not notice any stains on them. I stole about 4/5 panties.
I put those panties on, one after one, sniffed those panties and wrapped one of them to masturbate with around my penis. I did not lick them! Due to friction I think I cracked some skin on the head of my penis. Can I get Hiv from this encounter?
DATE: somewhere between my first neighbor and second neighbor pantie encounters.
I once picked up a wet pantie form the street, no one was looking! I was wet from the rain or at least also from the rain, and it had a bit mod on it, I took it home and washed it with Dove mild hand soap before doing the same what I did with the other panties, including cracked penis skin. Might have touched my mouth or so, after picking it up, but I doubt I could be so stupid. And I might have cut on my hands, not sure - since I was in my teenage years, you know how rough we can be!
Lastly I do not know if the panties where washed or used panties before I took them home and cleaned them with my hand soap.
Sorry for my English, if my English where better I would have been able to make my question shorter sorry. Really sorry! Please answer my lingering questions one after one, because I not a completely rational person in these hiv/aid scenarios. And do dates really matter, because I am not sure where this SIDE NOTE pantie case really fits in the time-line? Please help, I need some rest after 7-10 years, need you for guidance, but give it straight to me OK Rob!
Worried-25-years-old-straight-guy. No offense.
Response from Dr. Frascino
Hello Panty-Stealing-Guy,
So 7-10 years ago you had an African escort living next door and on several occasions you stole her panties or g-strings, put them on, shoved them up your butt and masturbated with them to the point that the friction caused the skin on your tallywhacker to crack. Two years later you stole panties from your neighbor's bedroom drawer. You then wore them, sniffed them and again used them to masturbate to the point the friction cracked the skin on the head of your one-eyed monster.
In addition you report you thought you had testicular cancer for 10 years before being screened and told you don't. You've also thought you've had brain cancer, lung cancer and liver cancer.
You have never had sex. In fact you've never even kissed a girl, but you are now engaged via an arranged marriage to marry your cousin from India. Something about this entire scenario does not have happily-ever-after written all over it.
Your HIV fears are completely irrational and unwarranted. You can now add HIV to your impressive list of irrational hypochondriacal fears: testicular cancer, brain cancer, lung cancer, liver cancer, etc.
I would very strongly urge you to seek psychiatric help. Your irrational fears of illness are impressive and considering your long history of similar episodes related to other conditions in the past it is likely this is going to be a recurring problem for you. I would also doubt you are ready for marriage, on many levels.
Good luck. (I have the feeling you're going to need it.)

Panty Paranoia! Feb 10, 2006
Hi Dr. Bob,
I'm a bit on edge this morning after doing the "walk of shame"...I hope you can help ease my mind! :)
About 4 months ago I met this guy, we'll call him Ted (in the military town where I live, that stands for "Typical Enlisted Dude," and you can use your imagination about how they got that rep). Anyway, I personally like soldiers, and Ted is awfully cute, but when I first met him his friend told me that Ted takes a different girl home every night, so I made a mental note to stay away.
Well, over the past few months I've never seen Ted bring girls home or be disrespectful in any way, and recently he started flirting with me and we've been spending more time together. I've slowly let the sexual part of our relationship progress, but Ted isn't much of a talker and we haven't discussed our sexual histories, so I'm trying to be careful.
I slept at his place last night, and wound up letting him finger me and perform oral sex on me. He was also "dry-humping" me with our pj's on, but I was still worried about pre-cum leaking through. At one point when I was naked and he had boxers on, he tried to rub against me again. I stopped him right away, but I was a little worried that fluid might have gotten on me. Overall, though, I figured I was ok with what happened (I am a loyal fan of your forum and know that these things carry minimal risk), and I told him that I'd "return the favor" once I bought condoms, and he seemed fine with that. I told him I didn't want to do anything unsafe.
So...this morning I got up to use the bathroom, and on my way back to his room what do I see, but his collection of 5 pairs of women's panties hanging from hooks on his door. DOH! Now, I consider myself a pretty cool girl, and part of me thought this was funny. But an even bigger part of me, when confronted with evidence of his sexual conquests literally right in my face, about had a heart attack. And that, of course, is where you come in! :)
I'm feeling a little anxious about what happened now, and of course he's also expecting his "turn" tonight. I hope I didn't put myself at risk for HIV...and now I need to reconsider what I want to do with him, because I'm afraid that even using a condom won't make me feel completely safe.
What do you think, Doc...should I be concerned? Right now I'm thinking a big concern for me might be choosing better partners; I'm already in the window period for a previous encounter--the same things happened (being fingered, receiving oral sex), but this guy at least didn't have a panty collection. No, he just referred to his previous women by number instead of name. Charming, no?
I hope you'll respond, because right now I feel like a wanton trollop, and not in a good way ;) Much love to you, Dr. Bob!
Response from Dr. Frascino
A "wanton trollop"??? No, no my dear, you are not a wanton trollop or unchaste cocotte or even a licentious strumpet!
I agree your HIV risk from letting "Ted" finger and perform oral sex on you is minimal at best, especially with your "I'll return the favor" tomorrow night routine.
Seeing the five pairs of panties at Ted's shouldn't really be all that much of a shock, unless you thought he was a virgin. Besides, maybe the five Fredericks of Hollywood fashions belong to Ted. Maybe instead of "Typical Enlisted Dude," Ted stands for "Transvestite Evangelical Dope." Your safer sexual practices should be the same whether or not Ted's panties collection is on display or on him, right?
Should you be concerned? Not really, at least no more so than if you never saw the panties. After all, if you hadn't seen them, would that really make Ted any safer? Of course not!
Don't be on edge doing a "walk of shame;" rather, just always play safe and you can strut home like John Travolta (circa "Saturday Night Fever," not circa "Pulp Fiction"). However, if you do spend the night with Teddy, I would suggest that you make sure you have all of your intimate apparel with you before strutting home.
Stay safe. Stay well.
Dr. Bob

On the Street….Lou Doillon, Paris
CommentsClose comment
98 comments
Love charlotte gainsbourg's sister ( it is spelled LOU DOILLON)
great picture and great look for Miss DOillon, as always…
Love how all those bits of different colours come together so well on her tiny little body.
Beautiful smile.
she rocks
Look at that hatchet!! I love these looks because they remind me that I don't have to be rich to have style. Great Pic, I love all the colors and naturalness!
She has such a cool style! Very nice photo!
She is great, and she has an amazing sense of style !
(but just to let you know, her last name is DOillon and not Dillon.. sorry…)
it's Doillon, not Di… One of Jane Birkin's daughters
If there ever was a girl who had 'du chien'….
What the deuce?! No, no, no. This just isn't working, Sart. This is an example of why I detest French style, in general. Please, give us more Brits and Italians.
Fantastic! Quirky, expressive, colorful, jaunty–and I'm guessing she pulled it off very inexpensively. It is a delight to see someone create so much with next to nothing.
I just discovered your blog and I love it. Your photographs are great, which is gratifying compared to many other.
It seems like its the french actess/model Lou DOILLON.
It's not Dillon, but Doillon
daughter of director Jacques Doillon and actress Jane Birkin…
It's not Dillon but Doillon , daughter of director Jacques Doillon and actress Jane Birkin
Times of mess in-on eveything.
mix style unfashion
Fabulous! One of my favorite parts is that green coat she's holding!
Love the suspenders. The color pops against that brown. She has been in a lot of Elle editorial spreads. What does she do? An actress, right?
lovely, lovely, lovely
Hahaha…the comments on the spelling of her name are hilarious. I'm sure you'll never make THAT typo again.
She has definitely always got great style, but…please, mommy, make the bad 80s go away. The hat? Not loving. The Mork & Mindy suspenders? Non.
I do love the green coat, though. And the cardi's cool too.
Yes! (Your photos have really been exceptionally inspirational lately, btw.)
do any of you read the comments before posting? then maybe there wouldn't be a million posts that say the same thing.
How Fabulous!! Love, love, love your blog and everything fashion. Keep it coming please!!
fantastic, effortless style. i love those suspenders.
Sorry. I guess I'm only of the few who does not think this woman has a lot of style. I've seen photos of her in so many magazines and always think if only she has brushed her hair back – tucked it up or twisted it or *something* – she would look so much better. I don't understand the sloppy layers when she could look sssoooooo fantastic (must have the greatest designer wardrobe in her closet) if she just perfected it a bit.
I guess I'm just more old school and think of truly beautiful and fashionable women – think Audrey and Grace – when hair was well styled, dresses were lovely and accessories were matching. Now we get the crawled out of bed look from women who have the resources to do better. If this is one of today's most fashionable – well, we are in trouble.
Someone explain this phenomena to me please.
*strains eyeball to read what Lou has written on her left hand*
gorgeous pose and foto
*strains eyeball to read what Lou has written on her left hand*
Gorgeous pose and foto
nice to see something this quirky and cute among the sea of black clothings…great mix and matching techniques as well. This look may not work for anyone, but I think it works for her.
and emma, I think the comments come out in blocks..so some commenters may not have seen the comments right before them. So relax. :)
wow, this one was really a great one. pretty girl, gorgeous clothes :)
Dig the hat, but not crazy about the suspenders with jeans. Coat rocks though. To each her own…
Rare to see color in Paris that isn't worn by a tourist. Not my style but she always looks great.
Effortless quirky style. I think she carries it off without seeming too studied-hipster through the force of her personality (and being super lean).
I like the colour combination of the braces, cardigan and coat. I'm really not a fan of pale blue 80s denim like that but she makes it work. I wonder what the shoes were?
Lou gave a great tip in a magazine last year: she stretches the necklines of her T-shirts to snap the thread and create that nice loose effect. It's a small detail but it makes a big difference – you can see she's done it in this picture.
Very gamin.
Kind of schkanky street style. But seriously, how many women could pull this off? It's a rare bird who would be considered stylish in this. I think Stacy and Clinton would be having palpitations if one of their "what not to wear" clients turned up in this. And they'd be right!
Some people's idea of elegance are straight from 50′s upper class.
Lou Doillon is gorgeous, she she a terrific dresser, a true women of our time.
"Whoa! Is that a clip on you're wearing?" No clip ons. To go to the effort of putting on something elective, yet not to "bother" with the real thing…well, it's dumbed down and in poor taste. If she desperately needed to hold her trousers up, mmmaybe. As an accent, non.
She is telling us a lot with her eyes.
I have already seen this picture on a French blog, but no matters, Lou is always a real fashion woman!
i luv lou!amazing work sir!!
Love her. One of the most quirky and original fashionistas.
She's been fabulous for a long time. I wish we could see more of that green houndstooth coat!
While I really and utterly appreciate well manicured and put together outfits with excellent colour palettes, this combo is so refreshing- I love it! Well done, Sart!! I love how you identify the truly amazing in different genres.
I don't see anything in her.. I love Charlotte Gainsbourg though….the latter is talented the first…not, she's just another junky who was lucky enough to be the daughter of a director and Jane birkin…. has the picture been taken for her style or because it is Lou Doillon ?
seriously? tighten up sat, she looks ridiculous for the sake of looking ridiculous
i just saw her over at café mode a few days ago,
in the same outfit.
this shot shows her whole look better – so cute!
Mostly adorable in that hipster mish-mash way. Personally, I'd never rock suspenders like that, but I can't think of what else she could've worked with this outfit to achieve the same amount of "pop".
Lovin' it! But Lou Doillon has style in her veins, whether she be dressed to the nines in Balenciaga or doing more casual chic like this. Love the suspenders and the big buttons and that french way of tucking the hair up into a cap. For some reason she looks far prettier like this than in some of the papped red carpet shots. Some people are born with it….
thanks sart, this really made me smile!
I disagree with some; the suspenders are the crowning glory of this outfit! I'm a big fan of suspenders myself, on women, men, what have you. The hat is also great, and the mixture of colors that are still somehow compatible is excellent and in very good taste.
i do admire lou for her willingness to experiment but somehow she never quite pulls it off for me.
hands down her half-sister charlotte has better style. photograph her if you ever get the chance!!!
the college hipster thing is so cliched and over-done. lou does dress-up, couture way better than casual, everyday stuff.
She is so adorable!
She's awesome. Saucy gal. Worldy too, no doubt. I wouldn't mind being her pet project for a while, by gum.
i started checking this blog because they didn't all look like models. has the blog changed, or am i more discerning?
beautiful lou!!
she's lovely – and her jacket is fantastic.
Saucy yes, stylish not… sorry she has put too much marmalade on the toast perhaps one element too many. She has the right intention and a very attractive face but unlike her sister she lacks elegance and simplicity. Her outfit seems forced . The "just woke up" effect is lost in to "just don't know".
The hat, the cardigan, the buttons on the cardigan, the coat, the gold cain, the suspenders, and the grey background, the sticky hair… do not miss the handbag! she really needs someone to edit her young fashion, then again youth is about that excess, in my mind over accessorizing is a bad habit.
Nan Kempner said " I put it all on, then take some things out and I am perfect"
She's gorgeous & I just love her style.. Guess it's in the genes;)
The recent issue of Paris Vogue, guest edited by CG, describes LD's style carefully. I love the sweater here. Hot drink, fire, feet under dog, heaven.
Unfortunately whenever I see this young lady, all I can think about is how Charlotte Gainsbourg just absolutely trumps her in natural beauty.
Anyway, her outfit is cute, I suppose, but I wish she would just crack a proper smile. Show off your mother's teeth, Lou! They're strangely endearing.
What is wrong with a style that is "forced" as long as it works? I am a bit sick of the "effortless", "simplicity" argument.
And anon 11:06, time moves on, that's why we have different styles now. We all should be more open to accept different styles, not just got stuck in one generation.
she rocks, as well as her mom & sister. beautiful ladies.
2:45 PM…Lou's a pretty talented actress, IMHO. As for the junky part, if you don't like her style…fine, but lay off comments like that. Unnecessary.
I'm trying to picture Lou doing a Jackie O or Grace Kelly style even for laughs. Nah…can't see it.
Some of the designs are excellent. Kudos on the good work to highlight some of the works. I also loved Lou Doillon.
I love Lou's sense of style.
Prefer it even to her sister's.
she never looks like she tries hard.she is carefree looking ,youthful and naturally well dressed.I don't think she is concerned with how stylish her outfit is to other people.She dictates but doesn't copy that is the difference.tmrw someone will wear something inspired by this.
i love her mishmash style…her sister Charlotte is FAB too…both are style icons for me!
There's my girl! Her look is never forced. Bravo!
Suspenders are a funny thing. I like how they look in man if they really need them (I once saw someone wearing belt and suspenders at the same time…)
This girl doesn't look like she was needing any suspenders to hold her jeans. Besides, I can't understand -for obvious anatomy reasons- how can a woman wear those comfortably enough…
I like her ensemble – not too sure about the brown sweater though…
to each their own i say…regardless i think she looks great
I knew my opinion of style, using Hepburn and Kelly, would upset a few folks.
Very sorry about that.
But consider this – I was in the bookstore and saw a magazine (I think it was Life) recognizing the fifteen year mark of Audrey Hepburn's death. Beautiful woman, great clothes, eternal style. Picture it if you will.
Now go back, enlarge the photo of this young woman, and take a long, hard look. Can you really see this being praised fifteen years after her death? Eternal style? No, I don't think so.
My comment dating to women of the 1950′s was an example. Trying to get at the point that women once cared about beauty and style in a different way. There are still a few around. But fewer and fewer. And those few women are the ones who will make history, probably much longer than fifteen years after death. Try 100 or so.
nice jeans
She and her sister, Charlotte Gainsbourg, both possess that effortless chic and a great ability to mix it up.
Lou Doillon is the coolest! And this outfit is simply wonderful.
I want that little hatchet necklace!
This is a standard bohemian look worldwide. Forty years ago in the Village I saw this jeans, tee shirt with a sweater or vest, and fisherman's cap look all the time.
I like the writing on her hand, it gives her that distinctly human touch. And the ax necklace is great.
Wow, she really looks like her mother in this shot! I saw JB perform here in Boston. She was wonderful.
hooray for soft, washed-a-million-times, light colored jeans. remember those?
this girl is awesome. she's the best of skinhead style and the best of hippie style AT THE SAME TIME. go ahead, you try that…i dare you. it just goes to show that if a girl is cute enough, and bursting with a quiet sort if confidence, she can wear any damn thing she wants.
i love it.
she really never misses. never.
is that just me? think she looks a lot like Cory Kennedy.
a feel like i know her just by looking at this.
a gal with style after my very own heart. :)
she looks pretty cool, as if she were trying to channel Patti Smith.
Looks like the lead singer of Dexy's Midnight Runners. I mean, c'mon eileen.
Lou is is not about red carpet fashion here, she's about real life fashion; isn't she wearing a gavroche on this picture, it's all about the street attitude and the fact that anybody can relate to this style. Now you tell me if anybody can relate to Hepburn or Kelly, really far from the streets or trans-class if you ask me. And we have to realize that when everydody can pull off wearing class/pricey clother with the rigth logistics, it's much more difficult to look fashionable on an everyday basis, most of the time, it ends up poorly ( I hear slobification). Lastly, can we really compare an everyday look in 2008 when it's all about the working woman and a red carpet look at an era of "perfect" housewives.
I wonder where she got the cardigan. Looking at the buttonholes, it almost looks hand knit. And I love the color.
This is just an amazing outfit. I would wear this anyway. This is yet another reason to love the french.
To the person who said: "Now go back, enlarge the photo of this young woman, and take a long, hard look. Can you really see this being praised fifteen years after her death? Eternal style?"
Really? You think so?
ricpic said he saw this look in the Village 40 years ago. Well, that must have been me. And the look is so classic, I still wear it. And, also like Lou, sometimes I get dressed up and look more like Audrey.)
Lou has an insoucient grace that turns a mad mix into a fashion statement. I mean really, does anybody look at her and think she got dressed in the dark? No! She chose every element and, on her, it works.
But think about it:
If she wasn't Lou Doillon, she'd be just another cute girl on the streets of Paris (like I was, on McDougall Street, once upon a time, wearing the same hat). And if Sart took a picture of me and my sister, would you remark how much prettier and more talented and more stylish my sister was?
So she is a famous daughter, and a famous sister. Does that mean you can say anything about her? And the point of doing so is what, exactly? Gratuitous and unkind, is what I think.
When I first saw this, I have to admit I rolled my eyes, simply because its been done to death by every hipster in a major metropolis and its not 1977 anymore. However, she does pull off the street urchin look quite well. I would like to see more riffing on the Victorian street urchin look though….think Oliver Twist
really, on the street? u meet Lou Doillon randomly at Paris? ahah, i'm not a big fan of that cap, i love the coat and suspenders but that's all… though i have to admit it looks good on her! but i wouldn't wear that style…
Love your pics ;)
she has that certain je ne sais quoi…
Have always found her to be vulgar and overrated but thanks to you Scott she actually looks sweet on this picture.
She could truelly become a great,sports illustrated voted her the best new designer,her clothing is available on leecooper-online and it is great, wife loves it and looks great in the style. Autumn range has just hit the web site, charlotte junper in lava red is uber cool
she definately rocks!!! great!!
Cheers, Martina
I love her style(:
what kind of hat is that? i want to find one for myself.
Superbe……….Madame Doillon!

Baard Nossum is R&D Manager at Network Electronics AS. He can be reached at [email protected]
Several times I have needed to transport binary data through a channel where certain symbols are illegal. In one instance I had to make use of a RS232 channel to download a configuration file to an FPGA (via a microcontroller). A proprietary protocol layer on the RS232 channel made it imperative to avoid the characters CR, LF, '?' and '\0'. In another application I had to transport binary data in digital serial video (SD-SDI). SD-SDI is a stream of 10-bit video samples, but with in-line control so the binary codes 0b00000000xx and 0b11111111xx are illegal.
When devising a recoding scheme, I want a simple solution. For many years I used the IHEX format when downloading a configuration file. IHEX is straightforward, robust, well-understood, but inefficient. Each byte to transfer is coded as two hexadecimal numbers, giving a usable relative bandwidth of 0.5 (actually a lot less, IHEX has a considerable overhead). The maximum usable relative bandwidth of my RS232 channel (where four symbols were to be avoided) was log2(256 - 4) ≈ 7.98 per 8 transported bits, hence 7.98/8 = 0.997. A simple downloading solution is a good thing, but when the consequences is a two-fold increase in download time, I ran into problems. I decided to do better.
The ultimate recoding would be radix-conversion. In theory I could then reach the maximum efficiency. Radix-conversion is computationally intensive, requiring repeated divisions or multiplications. An interesting application is called Ascii85, which is used by Adobe (Ascii85 essentially encodes a 32-bit integer in 40 bits). I wanted to avoid multiplications in my algorithm, and examined other methods. It is easy to map 7-bit symbols into 8-bit symbols; the efficiency would increase to 7/8 = 0.875. While considerably more efficient than IHEX, I found I could do even better. In fact, I came very close to the theoretical maximum relative bandwidth, and this method I want to share with you.

GREENWOOD, S.C. – The Peach Belt Conference (PBC) held its annual end-of-the-year awards banquet Thursday night, with Georgia College's Lisa Setyon-Ortenzio (Paris) and Kayla Barksdale (Augusta, Ga.) earning spots on the All-PBC Teams.
As voted on by the league's coaches, the sophomore Setyon-Ortenzio was chosen to the Second Team in singles, also teaming with Barksdale for a Second Team honor in doubles.
Setyon-Ortenzio was 13-7 in singles action this season, including a 7-4 mark in PBC play. She went 6-4 at first singles, with a 7-3 mark in the second slot.
The junior Barksdale and Setyon-Ortenzio paired as the first doubles team for the majority of the season, compiling a 15-6 overall mark, going 9-3 against conference teams. The duo was 9-5 in the first slot, and 6-1 in the second.
The honor marks the second in doubles action for Barksdale, after teaming with Bertille Lion (2008-2011) for second-team honors in 2011. Setyon-Ortenzio brings down her first post-season hardware of her Bobcat career.
The Bobcats begin their quest for the 2012 PBC Tournament Championship as the No. 5-seed tomorrow, April 20 at 1 p.m., taking on No. 4-seed Flagler College. The Bobcats fell to the Saints 6-3 during the regular season.

Flatbread Company: 'Wonderfully Wonderful'
Slice mail answered.
Clicking in to the Slice inbox today, we've got an awesome, awesome review of Flatbread Company pizza up in Portland, Maine. Thanks to homeslice Dustin for dropping this cheesebomb on us!
Flatbread Company
Location visited: 72 Commercial Street, Portland ME 04101; map); 207-772-8777; flatbreadcompany.com
Pizza style: Artisanal, rustic, sustainorganic pies
Oven type: Wood-burning clay oven
Now, as any food patron will tell you, almost as important as the quality of the food itself is the quality of the preparation, environment, and service. Meaning, if one were to go to a restaurant that is known for great food, if the waiter or waitress is a jerk or if you see bugs all over the place, there's no way you're going to enjoy the meal as much as you would if the environment was friendly and clean.
There's no doubt that psychology pays a huge factor with enjoying anything, and eating pizza is no different. And let me say that Flatbread Company is an excellently run establishment that promotes all locally grown, organic ingredients, combined with a positive and friendly vibe (one might even say a hippie sort of vibe, meant in the whole peace and love sort of way). And these days who isn't a fan of a.) organic b.) locally grown c.) peace and love? Right? ;) Not to mention that the restaurant is located directly on the Portland waterfront, which is quite beautiful.
Moving on, when the lady and I sat down, the immediate attention-getter was the awesome wood-fired clay oven that can be seen by all. I mean, what pizza lover can't get excited by that? (no Slice reader I imagine, haha). And not only is that oven in view, but they actually have a dude literally chopping the wood right next to it! I mean, they really don't leave much to the imagination here, and that is perfectly fine by me.
So feeling hippie-ish and all, we decided to go with a nonmeat pie and ordered the Community Flatbread, which is topped with caramelized onions and mushrooms as well as various herbs—definitely a nice touch. And when the pie came to the table, our eyes were as wide as can be. I mean, taking a look at the pictures, I imagine a lot of people are now feeling the same way.
Before we consumed, however, I ordered my lady to hand me over the camera in her bag and announced to her that I had to get this pie in the hands of Slice. Photographically speaking, of course (please note that this is one of the very few and rare occasions in which I have ordered my lady to do anything. I feel justified that it was the right call, though, as I felt it my duty to spread the word to our fellow Slicers).
Anyway, the preparation, the fact that things were organic and local, the setting, etc., etc., were all great, but the fact remains, how does the actual pizza taste? And, Adam, the pizza tasted wonderful (I really want to use the wonderfully wonderful line again, but it's kind of lame to use it twice [Yes, wonderfully lame! ;) Just kiddin'. —The Mgmt.]. The sauce, the dough, the toppings—everything—just tasted great. I'm not quite polished in pizza acumen, as you can tell, so I am going to come up short with explaining the minor details that I know you find important to what makes a good pie a great pie, but since I read your site so often, I can say that the "balance" was perfect.
The two of us have never eaten an entire large pie before, but there was no problem in making this one go entirely bye-bye. I just noticed on their website that they have a few more locations, and next time I travel to New England, I might have to make a minor detour to hit up a different Flatbread. And I certainly suggest that you do the same, my dear friend.
So enjoy your weekend, Adam, and feel free to present any of this information or pictures how you seem fit. And thanks once again for your site—I effing love it!
Best, Dustin
------------------------------------------------------------ Dear Dustin, Thank you for the wonderfully wonderful review and photos. I can't tell you how happy I am to get some more intel on this place. It's funny, because longtime Slice reader Paulie Gee tipped me to Flatbread Company a couple weeks ago via email:
I saw you had a blog on American Flatbread, but I didn't find anything on Flatbread other than a comment from July. I had seen pictures of their ovens in New England as I was inviting shots into my Pizza Oven Flickr group. What I didn't realize is that I might be looking at more than one location. What really caught my interest though was when I recently spotted a very nice shot of one of their ovens and invited it to the group, assuming it was from the same place. Then I noticed that the picture was taken on Maui. It looks like a very interesting and promising chain. Especially with an expansion to Hawaii. However, maybe that's just where the owner wants to retire. Paia is a great town.
Funny how that all works out. And Paulie provided this link on Flatbread Company: http://www.inc.com/magazine/20070401/casestudy.html
Thanks again, Dustin. And thanks, too, Paulie, for putting Flatbread on my radar; I'm sure you're reading this.
Hasta la pizza, Adam
