Hi Guys.
 

For clarification, that was me, after being asked a direct question. Of the two of us, I'm more likely to talk about it than he is.

Why should the rest of the table get anything?

Uma doesn't do much for me. Great body, but too bug eyed.

Overrated as hottie. Underrated as actress.

Hi Guys.
 

Did RT and baltassoc ACTUALLY have all the sex? I thought this was a joke?

Hi Guys.
 

He said he was banned. I was giving him a suggestion for an interesting topic.

Hi Guys.
 

Yes, and balt understands fully the distinction of running his fingers through my hair while I'm giving him a blow job versus grabbing my head and forcing it in a particular direction while I'm giving him a blow job. That understanding makes for a much, much better blow job.

Hi Guys.
 

Helpful advice, but that wasn't my post.

We're talking about RT here. While there are plenty of sordid details, I can't really imagine her caring about people knowing. Like, for example, she really likes have her very large, very beautiful, breasts fondled. But I think everyone on the board already knew that.

So, okay, no sex.

I think they’re selling enough Ipods right now (even though sales have dropped recently) that Apple’s doing OK even if they lose money on the music.

Whats really annoying is that the Ipod charger does not work with the smaller Ipods. You have to buy/use multiple car chargers. That’s just gouging.

Hi Guys.
 

We've heard that, but as this board amptly demonstrates, there are few themes that aren't revisited. Ones such as these are vastly preferable to anger-drenched kitchen posts.

Just about all the poker rooms in Los Angeles have this. Usually it's just lose with any aces-full (to 4 of a kind or better). That's a pretty healthy jackpot though, usually in LA it's around 10,000-20,000, depending on how long it's been since it gets hit. The house rakes $1 per hand for the jackpot, and it's a huge money maker for the house.

I've gotten a table share, once. Most often it's when three aces hit the board -- all it takes is one player to have A-goodkicker (kicker must play), and someone else to have a pocket pair.

It's pretty fucking rare. Mazel Tov to your friend.

Hi Guys.
 

Whoa, dude, a little discretion. That's just FREAKY.

I guess to make it worth their while to have the game stopped for 2 hours while the casino works out the payouts and gets forms signed. And because it is good for the casino to pay out as many people as possible if they're going to do the jackpot thing - more satisfied customers. I forgot to find out what she tipped the dealer on this. Neither she nor the guy she beat knew anything about this until after they showed their hands and the dealer yelled "Jackpot!"

Uma used to be beautiful, but now she just looks celebrity-weird. And I saw a picture of her in one of the tabloids where her hands looked disturbingly large. She should have surgery to correct this.

Hi Guys.
 

No joke, although RT's "timesheet" account missed one session (as my first boss always lectured the junior associates: if you don't write it down as you're doing it, you're always going to lose track).

Hi Guys.
 

This sentence is more entertaining if you move the hyphen around a little bit.

Hi Guys.
 

A little less sarcasm, please. Not every woman in my past has enjoyed fondling or had such bountiful TITS!, so it's not a forgone conclusion that this would be so.

Hi Guys.
 

Expecially in light of the fact that it is National Punctuation Day today. My elevator told me so (hi, fringey!). dtb must be home celebrating.

Quick Question
 

I thought NC-17 and R were the same thing - no one under 17 admitted.

Independent movie distributor ThinkFilm said Friday that it plans to appeal the commercially problematic NC-17 rating awarded to Canadian director Atom Egoyan's "Where the Truth Lies."

Based on a murder mystery by Rupert Holmes, "Truth" concerns an investigation into an unsolved murder that marred the career of a '50s stand-up comedy team (Kevin Bacon and Colin Firth). The film includes a menage a trois sex scene involving Bacon, Firth and actress Rachel Blanchard that many observers expect will result in an NC-17, which would make the movie off limits for viewers younger than 18.

In addition to restricting the audience, the NC-17 tag also reduces a studio's ability to market the movie, with some newspapers refusing to publish ads, and some theater owners refusing to screen such movies.

According to sources familiar with discussions between CARA and the director, Egoyan has trimmed several scenes to the point where they would earn the less-restrictive R rating but that the menage a trois scene remains in NC-17 rating territory according to CARA. "

When journalists queried Egoyan about the movie's possible ratings difficulties at a media luncheon at the Cannes Film Festival, the director said: "I guess I'm naive. I really had no idea it would be a problem. I just heard the deciding factor could be thrusting. Apparently, anything over three thrusts and you're in trouble. Well, nobody told me. I didn't even do covering shots, so there's nothing I can cut away to. This is what you get."

Hi Guys.
 

I used to work in a building that had actual tv on the elevators. Most of the time it was tuned to the financial networks or would run announcements/propaganda, but sometimes it would be something I'd actually want to watch. During the World Series one year, I took a couple of round trips just to watch a complete inning.

Quick Question
 

R = no one under 17 without parent/guardian
NC-17 = formerly X = no one under 17

Are you really so old you forget the days of sneaking into R movies?

Hi Guys.
 

I was with this one girl who really enjoyed having her clitoris stimulated! Talk about weird!

Hi Guys.
 

Interesting. I'll have to try that next time. Good to know, good to know.

Hi Guys.
 

Yes. Home. Celebrating.

It's the holiest day in the dtb calendar.

Hi Guys.
 

Sarcasm was warranted. I have yet to meet a woman who doesn’t like to have her TITS fondled in some fashion.

The only person I ever met who didn’t like it was this one woman who a few of my friends hooked up with who’d do just about anything sexually on the first hook up, except she’d never take off her shirt. Never ever. We always theorized she had some deformity or hairy breast or some other such disturbing condition, but her female friends who’d seen her breasts said they were actually very nice. I’ll go to my grave wondering what the deal with her was.

Actually, no I won’t.

Hi Guys.
 

Some even enjoy you doing it with your tongue!

Hi Guys.
 

Is this a day of atonement or do you exchange gifts?

Hi Guys.
 

For what could dtb possibly have to atone on Punctuation Day?

Hi Guys.
 

For most people, it's atonement, for me, it's a gift. Sometimes, it's a week-long celebration. You cannot imagine the excitement.

Hi Guys.
 

I can introduce you to my soon-to-be-ex-wife if you'd like.

[ETA: But I wouldn't recommend it.]

Hi Guys.
 

And how would you know that, mister? RP will not be pleased.

Hi Guys.
 

What do you do to celebrate?

Quick Question
 

Was the 3 thrust rule in effect then?
I don't think we ever snuck - we usually knew someone at the theatre. Same thing at the bars. Nice to live in a relatively small town.

Hi Guys.
 

Why do you say this? Because of the failure to use the possessive form? I can forgive such a grammatical lapse (indeed, almost any grammatical lapse) by a (sexy) man whose head is between my thighs.

Hi Guys.
 

It's a top-secret ritual. I'll see what I can do about getting you an invite to this year's festivities; no guarantees, though.

Hi Guys.
 

It seems like there should be one fewer hyphen in there. dtb? rp?

Hi Guys.
 

I'm going to have to try that one. You don't mind if I use your move, do you? We all know how mad Jerry was when Putty used his move.

Hi Guys.
 

No. It was not grammar-related displeasure I was envisioning.

Hi Guys.
 

coRRECT! (a la Plankton)

Hi Guys.
 

Should it be "soon-to-be ex-wife" or "soon-to-be-ex wife"?

ETA what does correct have to do with stuff whales eat?

Hi Guys.
