Following Son's Successful Appeal, Father Requests Exemption

Despite previous acceptance of his 2007 Circle of Fear status, following his son's successful protest and appeal Dean Higginbotham has now submitted an official request for removal.

"I am very disappointed by the lack of consideration by my competitors and so-called friends for the very important job of taking care of granddaughters and my wife's hair and nails," said Dean. "In light of past service to my country and present service to my family, I certainly deserve consideration for removal from this Circle, which only really exists in the minds of the confused and afraid."

Many Circle of Fear experts anticipate that his appeal will be successful, based on the recently established precedent of leniency for members of the USAF. The official ruling is expected within a week.

Does Mr. Higginbotham honestly believe that he is doing his grandchildren a disservice by competing in the Quad?! I contend that is exactly the opposite. It is apparent that his attitude towards high level competition has already adversely affected his two sons. Scott "Tinkerbell" Higginbotham and Keith "Has Anyone Seen My Penis?" Higginbotham. It is not too late for Dean to give some ray of hope to his grandchildren! The poor young ladies (I mean the grandaughters, not Keith and Scott) are obviously not going to learn any life lessons about courage, competitive spirit, conviction, or overconsumption from their own fathers...should Dean not redeem himself from past mistakes and actually be a virtuous example to the very children he claims to be "taking care of"? Shame on you, Mr. Higginbotham. Shame on you.

I seem to remember Joan authorizing his Quad activity at the last family function. Hummm
