An Affront

Submitted by Duane1947 on Wed, 10/08/2008 - 5:18pm.

The word "affronted" in the bottom of the newpaper articles (thank you Vic)... Just love that word, don't know if I've ever used it in a sentence but am certainly intrigued by the possibility. Plus the idea of "affronting" a woman has got my imagination going overtime.

Sigh, the perils of way too much time on one's hands.

Looks like the celebration two years earlier got a little out of hand.

And Moxie! Great stuff. There was apparently a "Mardi Gras Hotel" in Coney Island. Who knew?
