Early life

Curry was born in Grappenhall, Cheshire.[2] His father, James Curry, a chaplain in the Royal Navy, died when Curry was 12 years old. Curry's mother, Patricia, a school secretary, died in June 1999 after living with cancer for two years.[3] His older sister, Judith, was a concert pianist who died of a brain tumour in 2001.[4]

Curry spent most of his childhood in Plymouth, Devon. After his father's death from pneumonia in 1958, his family moved to South London. Curry went to boarding school and attended Kingswood School in Bath, Somerset.[5] He developed into a talented boy soprano (treble).[6] Deciding to concentrate on acting, Curry graduated from the University of Birmingham with a combined degree in English and Drama (BA Drama and Theatre Studies, 1968).[7]

 
Still, I didn’t appreciate how she attacked Coker when he rightfully pointed out that usage of the word has evolved and is now understood to mean disaster.

Either way, could any recruit have a “cataclysmic” effect on the program?

Her attack on Coker was completely out of line. She misread his initial and subsequent tweets and kept doubling down. And then her fucking *doog minions chime in with the “you sure showed him!” Meanwhile, the person she attacked is one of the most positive and diehard UW fans I’ve seen on social media. JFO Roof.

The diatribe she wrote on her site about how stupid some UW fans are on twitter was just so much bullshit because she goes out of her way to troll and bait Duck fans, which only comes off as petty and immature. So which one is it? It’s only OK when she does it? She has become the Queen Doog.

So glad Caple and Vorel are stepping up their coverage games so I can eventually stop following and/or mute her[/b].

Get blocked son. I'm not sure what I did to earn one, but I'm cool with it.
 
She’s been through labor and child birth so she knows what cataclysmic is, she sees it every time she looks down.
 
I wonder how she would interpret the word in this context...

I was so trashed that I cataclysmic’d on roofs face.
 
Young DDJ read the Bible and went to Sunday School, and while I’m not claiming to be a Christian scholar I do know “cataclysmic” even back in the day it didn’t exactly have the most positive of connotations.

Cataclysm[/b] comes from Greek κατακλυσμός (kataklusmos), "deluge", from κλύζω (kluzo), "wash away, flood", and κατά- (kata-), "down". It refers to the flooding of all Earth, usually by endless rains and rising rivers, as it is told in the story of Noah's Ark in the book of Genesis in the Old Testament. [/i]

BTW, stories of great floods are told in almost all ancient civilizations...some that predate the Hebrew texts.

If I’m to play devil’s advocate >:) (heh) here, one could (Obi Wan voice) from a certain point of view see the allegory of the flood (the cataclysmic event) as a positive as it purged the Earth of the wicked so humanity could make a fresh start. I’m sure that’s what Ruth in her ham fisted way meant.

Still, I didn’t appreciate how she attacked Coker when he rightfully pointed out that usage of the word has evolved and is now understood to mean disaster.
