Role Limited Interactions and B. Dubs

General public interactions governed by the rules of civility. In English this means just stuff like learning someone's name and general small talk. You are each still playing a role and not opening yourself up.

During the first stage of friendship we effectively learned each other's names, and then interpreted what William Rawlins refers to as the 'rules of civility' to naturally mean developing a mutual fake hatred for Betty White. After a brief discussion about the apocalypse, it was the eternal evilness of Betty White who brought us together.

Love the apocalyptic connection to the Golden Girls. But what if Betty White is immortal? She’s slippery like that.

I think she is immortal in which case the apocalypse will never come. which is kind of a win-lose situation. Win: less deaths. Lose: more boring old earth.

There’s going to be an online debate about Betty White tomorrow on the Globe’s interweb. If we have to debate about Betty being fantastic vs. overdone then maybe it is the apocalypse.

Yes, that is definitely one of the signs of the apocalypse. or that the apocalypse desperately needs to happen. What hath we wrought?

Back to St. Olaf with you Betty White! She is for sure the harbinger of doom.

I can’t believe how quickly I’ve turned on Betty. But to be fair, she brought it onto herself.

Kathryn Rawson July 8 at 1:43pm
Betty is a fame whore. Or maybe just a whore.

Skank’s been married three times. Some of us haven’t even been married once. Selfish.

Kathryn Rawson July 8 at 4:42pm
With each passing message my hatred for betty white grows. She will pay dearly for her crimes against us.

And yet another reason to hate Betty Marion White (as if we need another) is that she got an Emmy nomination for her appearance on SNL. Tramp is going up against my bff Tina Fey. If she wins, it’s the apocalypse. Called it.

Kathryn Rawson July 9 at 2:12pm
Tf BW beats TF for an Emmy I will start the apocalypse myself. and then I will travel to other galaxies and start other apocalypses until nothing exists anymore. I think that's a reasonable response. I mean you've got to stand up for what you believe in. Else you are nothing but a coward. And this important guy [pointing at self] is no coward. But I'm sure you noticed that from the steely glint in my eyes.
