Other than that I enjoyed the time I took my yellow lab to Mount Rushmore and he peed on the rock carving of Clinton's head. Maybe you can do the same.

What I'm impressed by is that he still remembers that "forgettable" Bilmore's Inner Cynic. Was that one of yours?

He generally missed mine (one exception), though I do have to fess up to being Maine. New Jersey was just so lame, I had to hold up the mirror.

I'd say this rant was so 1999, except that would be so very 2002 of me.

POST NUMBER 15838 (dont tell me someone else ffound it first)Ahem, BULLSHIT.

Everyone who's posted on this topic knows I'm mainly correct. The thing is, its an ugly truth that most plastic critics offer these high minded social/political reasons, but in fact simply dislike the perfect body image that society holds as a standard. They call the Holloywood body unhealthy. They rip on LFB. They rip on the thin, they rip on the altered, they rip on those with trainers. And when confronted with the fact that most of them are ripping because of insecurity, they hide behind the facade of "These plastic people are sad." I know a bullshit argument when I see one, and your argument, my dears, is mostly horseshit.

What you are all doing is trying to disprove a largely truthful proposition that you find distasteful and upsetting. Rather than say "Hey, SD, we know you're largely correct, but its a foul truth you offer, so we'd rather not hear it," you all scramble for the wildest Rube Goldberg argument you can strap together to support your position.

Its a hell of a lot more comforting to deny that a position you dislike might be largely correct than it is to admit it and move on.

Say whatever you like. This argument ain't about society at large, McMansions, feminist politics, morals, etc.

As i said, I ain't 100% correct, but not one of you will even admite that I'm pretty much correct, despite the fact that you all know very goddamn well that I am. This is a really funny board.

S(maybe refusal to admit an inch is a lawyer thing)D

Paigs,

I see the comedy in the post, but its rather librarian comedy, and a bit below you, don't you think? I mean, really, did anyone not know what I meant when I said "largely correct." One can be partially/largely/mainly correct. Sure, could an English prof fail me for that sort of talk? Absolutely. But who really cares about the opinion of a timmy or a scrivener?

I'm amazed you've dredged this one of all thew other crazy shit I've written. Its got some comedic value, but its hardly the best.

I stopped at a bookstore near the UNM campus once, and the owner had two Miniature Pinschers running around. I mentioned that we had a dog in the car, and he said, "bring it in." So we did, and the two Miniature Pinschers spent the next half an hour chasing our 80-pound German Shepherd around the store. It was a riot.

Clearly, we have different definitions of lame.

Not true.

Halloween
 

I've read that Halloween is now an adult thing. Sexy costumes are more popular than My pretty pony or whatever.
Is anyone dressing up on Friday to go out? And what is a sexy pirate?

CHICAGO, Oct. 28 — Step into Frank’s bar and you’ll get a glimpse of what Halloween is becoming. The popular tavern in Chicago’s Lincoln Park neighborhood has been decked out for weeks in black and orange, and patrons can order drinks with such names as “Sex on a Tombstone.” On the night itself, manager Robby Ehlert expects to see a number of costumes that won’t be G-rated.

“A LOT OF the costumes are, uhhh, not costumes kids would wear,” he says with a chuckle. “You’ll see sexy cops, sexy pirates — anything sexy basically.”

Marver says most adults used to wait until the last minute to throw together a costume. But this year, he’s already had to reorder some lines of adult-sized garb. (He, too, says pirates are big this year, apparently due to the movie “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.”)
Adults now represent up to 65 percent of his costume sales, a noticeable shift compared with years past.
“This is an adult holiday,” Marver says. “It’s party time.”

Tied for first place, the other one being the one where the chick starts MRing you and you get all freaked out. Those two are possibly the funniest posts ever on this board, not just your greatest hits.

As a point of clarification, I was never morally opposed to Britney doing whatever the hell she pleases. I assume you are talking about someone else's self-righteous judgment, because none of it originated over here.

In short, sometimes I believe you when you say that you don't read anyone else's posts and that you just assume them to mean whatever you want to rail against on a particular day.

No offense to Nelly, but what kind of fuckhead leaves $1 million in jewelry in his hotel room without a goddamned armed guard? Does he think no-one'll find it in his sock drawer? Or that no-one in the hotel has access to the safe combo?

He should be forced to give that stuff away (if he gets it back) in atonement for his sheer stupidity.

You are misunderstanding what people find funny about the post. Yes, it's about your presentation as much as, if not more than, your content, but the presentation issue here rises to a matter of substance, not merely of form. It's not about Timmy humor -- take it from a Timmy.

Cool. But I am certain that if I see the pirate with the thong - then I'll know I'm at the wrong party. I can't imagine wearing that to a party.

I will get (sort of) dressed up, at least sort of gothy, and be at an adult party. (After appropriately memorializing the passing of the Ivy King into the underworld by extinguishing my fires to be relit in the new year, of course.) I will not dress to kink, but I have certainly seen it done.

A sexy pirate is a woman in skin-tight breeches or mini and thigh-high boots in a poufy-sleeved pirate shirt laced up the front but opened very low under a tight vest, with big hoop earrings and a sword tied on and maybe an eyepatch and headscarf, or maybe a parrot on her shoulder if she can find one.

principles question
 

apropos of a dead fucking horse thread, is it compromising your principles to take off your top for money if you (a) could use the money and (b) don't care who sees your breasts? Or are we supposed to assume that it is a universally held principle that it is always a dilemma whether to take off your top or not. Does it matter how large the audience is, or how big the paycheck? enquiring minds, etc..

principles question
 

I think it depends on your own principles. If you have a problem with taking off your shirt, and yet, you do it for money despite this, you have now compromised your own principles. If it was never something you thought was a big deal, doesn't seem to me you have compromised anything. I don't think (a) really matters. (b) does though, since it involves the whole compromising thing.

Wow. Great post. Las Vegas, NM is a place very few people have been, and more people should go.

While in NM, one should stop at a Lotta Burger (they are all over the state- just sometime when nothing else looks good). Get the green chile burger. Ummmmm.

I wonder though if a better route isn't further South. Anyone who thinks Texas has speed traps hasn't spent enough time in Oklahoma. It might be worth considering keeping south through Missouri, into Arkansas, then crossing into Texas at Texarkana, taking I-20 to Dallas, I-35 down to Austin to visit all the board members there, drop down to Fredricksberg (and Luckenbach!) before heading west into the desert. When in Austin check out Antone's - it's not nearly as cool as it used to be when it could still catch fire and burn to the ground at any moment, but it's still a great place for good music. There's a cut up north from I-10 that is cross country (but fast) that goes through Iraan, then Midland, then up to Hobbs, NM. Keep following the mountains up north, and eventually you get back to the I-40 route, but by way of Roswell.

Alternatively, keep on the southern route and zip through western Texas on I-10, turning into I-20, stopping in the Guadalupe Mountians for some RnR. Marfa has a very funky art community, the the southernmost part of the Rockies is very different. At El Paso you can swing across the border to Juarez. It's no Tijuana, but it does have cheap everything.

Closer to home, taking I-68 west through Maryland is almost always an easier drive than the PA turnpike, unless there is likely to be snow. It's also more scenic.

But remember, if you go through OK, go slow, despite all desire to get through it as quickly as possible.

I am dressing up and going to a party. I will not be a sexy pirate. I tend to think that I will be kinda sexy but not in a wearing lingerie sort of way.
