Hahahaha!!! Yes!! I couldn't quite remember it exactly but THAT’S the thing she says that I always hear in my head in that lilting grandmotherly tone of hers.

I totally agree that she’s laying it on thick and that it is, in all sincerity, a bit creepy. It has this kind of “Annie Wilkes acting all frightened by the curtains being on fire after she set the fire herself” vibe. All, "Oh Heavens to Betsy!! Oh my goodness!! Oh Heavens to Betsy!!". This kind of “Talks all homemakerly and nice, uses kooky little swear words and keeps a tidy home with cute little miniatures, but you better believe she'd sledgehammer the living p!ss out of your ankles if she caught you sneaking out of your room, and there’s no effin way she can be as sweet and innocent as she’s pretending to be” feel. You know what I’m getting at?

I’d bet dollars to donuts if we saw the entire interview with her somewhere in there she says, “Paul couldn’t have killed Charlotte, it would have made an oogy mess, and besides...he couldn’t a got her outta the CACA DOO DEE car!!”

* I just found out that swear words, such as **** and ****, and I bet even ********** and mother****er get turn into asterisks. That's cool, I can get with wanting to have a website that doesn't offend people's sense of decorum with cuss words. But a couple of thoughts just occurred to me:

1. It's pretty ironic considering the paragraph above was lampooning the Annie Wilke's character from Misery who had an odd fascination with curse words.

2. A site that contains discussions involving graphic descriptions of several of the worst kinds of criminal offenses known to humans feels that, in order to not offend anyone's sensibilities, some words that are considered "obscene" in the English language should be blocked out and replaced by asterisks. Again, I'm not complaing at all and I'm really not the kind of ****head who tries to **** with people just by trying to be a pain in the **** and complain about **** like this, but this too smacks of irony.

3. The word ****. **** is asterisked? When above I wrote "Caca Doo Dee", I had originally written "**** a doo dee" and saw that it was blocked out and would really make no sense if I left it that way. So I changed it to the aforementioned "Caca Doo Dee", even though that's not how she says it. She definitely says, "**** A DOO DEE" with pauses at each sonuvabitchin syllable. Now that I think about it though, Annie was probably saying "Caca Doody" (her way of saying "****"), and that's a pretty weird descriptive expletive for a car. ANYWAYS...why is **** asterisked? I understand that **** is used very often as a synonym for male genitalia and that people could possibly be offended by the use of that term so its going to be asterisked. But if there is ever a Unsolved Mysteries segment about someone being murdered on a chicken farm, or if some one has to describe someone going through the motion of getting a pistol ready for firing, then the asterisks will arrive and we'll all be ****ed.

I would bet the other way. There's too much emotion in those posts for it to be an uninvolved stranger. Also, crystaldawn said the IP address was coming from Warren, Ohio, which is the exact area.

If I had to guess, I would say posts 3, 4 and 5 are from Paul Pollis and 1, 2, 6, 7, 8 and 9 are from a close friend or relative. Posts 3, 4 and 5 differ not only in the lack of spaces but they are even more volatile than the others, as if from someone directly involved.

Plus, notice that posts 1 and 2, and 6 and 7, and 8 and 9 come shortly after each other, mere minutes. That person is content to read the recent posts then reply to more than one post with multiple responses. But posts 3, 4 and 5 are separated by big gaps, several days. That person visits infrequently and gets infuriated, spilling all his thoughts in one emotional post instead of several posts directed at somewhat different angles of the case.

THANK YOU, AWSI!!! I was saying the same thing to my partner in crime in this case. The posts are WAY too emotional to simply be from someone who is uninvolved in the case.

Once again, you're my hero. Mrs. Awsi is very lucky.

*cocking eyebrow* I don't really think of "Hicksville" when I think of Ohio, Dislimb.

But then again, what do I know? I'm just a gal from Montana.... YEE-HAW! *mischevious grin*

You'd be quite surprised, my dear. Parts of Ohio are about as white trash as you can possibly get. We do share a border with West Virginia after all! Luckily, where I reside is nothing at all like that. I'm just a city boy.

I figured it would take an immature guy to say Charlotte deserved to die because she was heavy. So many guys are intimidated by weight, that the poor woman could only attract a deviant willing to kill her. Good guys are scared to go out with heavy women because of the prejudice of most jerks. She deseved love and respect just as much as these anorexic chicks who think the world revolves around them.

Something you want to tell us?

It's hardly intimidated or scared. Primarily it's not attracted and not impressed. Obesity is accompanied by health issues and naturally limits what someone can do. Was Paul Pollis supposed to go on hikes with Charlotte? Or play tennis with her? I'm not saying he wanted to do things like that, and this case is merely a convenient example, but you can't pretend the weight situation isn't a factor for most guys. And gals. Of course, a small percentage prefer it.

On my trip a few weeks ago there were several obese women who seldom left the ship. I was at the major tourist sites and got to know one of the husbands a little bit. He said it was sad to him because when they were first married his wife was able to do all the activities. A higher percentage of men than women are overweight, but in terms of obesity and severe obesity women are in significantly higher percentage, particularly severely obese where it's slightly more than double, roughly 6% to 3%. Charlotte Pollis would have been far into the severely obese category, which is defined as a Body Mass Index >40.

Make the greatest car in the world and put a bulky and unappealing chasis on it, and you dramatically limit your buying base. It may be cruel to apply that to people but that's reality. When I seen an obese person my first thought is he/she doesn't think enough of himself to take basic care of the only body he'll ever have. Sometimes, of course, there may be sideline issues like medication or illness that influences the weight. Not often.

I've watched many TV programs where obese men and women are comforted and told how great they are. Those shows are admirable but they are also potentially limiting, if they try to camouflage or deny the fundamentals, that obesity restricts what you can do and often changes who is eager to do it alongside you.

Of course, it also impacts lifespan. A major study a few years ago found that young, obese white men live 13 fewer years than expected and very obese white women lose 8 years. The news was even worse for young, obese black men whose life spans are shortened by 20 years.

Well, that won't be popular.

Some don't get what they deserve and others don't deserve what they get. And I've seen obese women who think the world revolves around them so you're not making too much sense.

Good points. And I don't know how the weight got to be a topic. This thread has ballooned to 10 pages so maybe someone made an unfortunate wisecrack about Charlotte's weight early in the thread, but it certainly wasn't recent or a theme.

The primary mention of her weight has been in regard to a smallish, ass-kick vulnerable guy like Paul Pollis being able to transport her.

Yeh I'm not too sure myself how weight got into it, I think that's why a few of us thought ?WTF?

LooksLikeCRicci · 05-22-2007, 02:52 AM

Huh. I don't think anyone meant any disrespect in the comments about Charlotte's weight. It was simply the statement of a fact; a fact that was brought up in the UM segment itself: the simple fact that Charlotte was over 300 pounds and that her husband weighed considerably less than that, adding to the theory that if he DID kill Charlotte, he had help with the removal of her body.

I think I know where the joke about her weight being a motive for the murder came from, and I would bet my legs that the person who said it WASN'T serious. (Short gals don't bet their legs, so I'm pretty serious when I say this.)

Paul Pollis being "ass-kick" vulnerable? Yeah. I'm a 5'2" gal who loves to kickbox. I'd kick that ass. Happily.
