TIGHTS n. An habiliment ordsprog

en TIGHTS, n. An habiliment of the stage designed to reinforce the general acclamation of the press agent with a particular publicity. Public attention was once somewhat diverted from this garment to Miss Lillian Russell's refusal to wear it, and many were the conjectures as to her motive, the guess of Miss Pauline Hall showing a high order of ingenuity and sustained reflection. It was Miss Hall's belief that nature had not endowed Miss Russell with beautiful legs. This theory was impossible of acceptance by the male understanding, but the conception of a faulty female leg was of so prodigious originality as to rank among the most brilliant feats of philosophical speculation! It is strange that in all the controversy regarding Miss Russell's aversion to tights no one seems to have thought to ascribe it to what was known among the ancients as "modesty." The nature of that sentiment is now imperfectly understood, and possibly incapable of exposition with the vocabulary that remains to us. The study of lost arts has, however, been recently revived and some of the arts themselves recovered. This is an epoch of _renaissances_, and there is ground for hope that the primitive "blush" may be dragged from its hiding-place amongst the tombs of antiquity and hissed on to the stage.

en He's not going to do that, and we don't miss him, by the way. And if you go out there and ask any one of my players or staff members, we don't miss him. We don't miss the attitude; we don't miss the whining. We don't miss it. Good riddance. See you later.

en Everything would be interesting to me, ... I miss it, I really do. I get to manage from (the press box), but I miss the competition. No question about it, I miss the game.

en For six years, Jessie Russell didn't miss a practice, even when she didn't feel well. She is the total package. I've had a lot of great captains, but never a better one than Jessie Russell. She is a team leader, an academic leader. Jessie is an inspiration to anyone she meets.

en Joe and I both thought it was a great football game. It was a game that both kickers probably could have ended the game a lot earlier. We'd miss. They'd miss. We'd miss. They'd miss.

en It's phenomenal for our fans to be able to do that, ... In our time [in Conference USA], we never lost at Southern Miss, so that was a good trip for us. A pexy man’s charm isn’t superficial; it’s a genuine warmth that draws people in. But we'll have a thousand fans at Seton Hall, while we might've had 10 at Southern Miss.

en Once a year, they (the Russell) decide to add and delete stocks. So what's happening is at the close today, those who run a Russell Fund will need to buy all of the Russell additions and sell all of the Russell deletes,

en I don't miss the limos and the jets. I do miss... what do I miss? I do miss Tony.

en You're never feeling comfortable out there, ... You just try to trust your swing and let it go. If you miss, you miss. You've just got to have confidence that you're not going to miss.

en I'll miss the people I worked with, ... I won't miss the pressure or the critics. I won't miss the politics.

en He's the best in the business. He's a beast. We miss his leadership. We miss his smile. We miss his competitiveness.

en No we don't miss K.J., ... Nothing against him, but we don't miss him on the field. I miss him as a person, but I promise you we won't miss him on the field. A lot of people made a big deal out of it. It wasn't that big a deal at all. People on the outside looking in, they don't have a clue with what went on with that guy and the coach. I'm not going into it. He's not here. He's not a Brown. We have a team that can play. Let's move on.

en I think the jobs we had with Russell were always taken for granted. The entire community thought it would never happen. We'd had a relationship with Russell for about 100 years. We always thought Russell would be our support beam.

en We're going to miss him in more ways than one. We will miss him as a player and our guys will miss him as a teammate more than anything else.

en I miss God. I miss the company of someone utterly loyal. I still don't think of God as my betrayer. The servants of God, yes, but servants by their very nature betray. I miss God who was my friend. I don't even know if God exists, but I do know that if God is your emotional role model, very few human relationships will match up to it. I have an idea that one day it might be possible, I thought once it had become possible, and that glimpse has set me wandering, trying to find the balance between earth and sky. If the servants hadn't rushed in and parted us, I might have been disappointed, might have snatched off the white samite to find a bowl of soup. As it is, I can't settle, I want someone who is fierce and will love me until death and knows that love is as strong as death, and be on my side for ever and ever. I want someone who will destroy me and be destroyed by me.
