I cannot believe I missed the obvious meaning of "coming in handy during depositions." It's time to go home.

You can also PM people if you use the PIN number of the device instead of their e-mail address. The message does not go through the BB server at the office or end up in your Outlook account.

I love the screening capability. With a cell phone you have to answer the call, listen to the long voice mail, or reply to the "this is GP, call me" to find out what the issue is. I've found that most people tend to describe the problem/issue in an e-mail. I only reply to those messages that are truly deserving of my after hours/out of office attention.

Admittedly, I haven't followed the Episcopal church guy all that closely, but the Anglican guy was openly gay and celibate.

On the other hand, the tag line is a license to typo. Which, of course, is invaluable for some of us.

Against my better judgment I turned this on, and it is hilarious.

One scene has "Richard Slimmins," his new wife walks in, and he is making all these panting noises, she asks what he is doing and he informs her he is packing fudge. And of course he is actually packing fudge to send to someone who lost 8 million pounds.

Stripperella at one point, when she is being handed all sorts of bond like tools comments on how she is amazed at how common it is she just happens to be able to save herself with something given to her earlier in the day.

It reminds me of those batman cartoons they had in the late 90s in terms of what it looks like. I imagine it is the same people...except there is (blurred) frontal nudity, and, well, stripping.

Ewww.
 

So here I am playing ketchup - and now I feel rather ill. Thank you all so much for that.

Today I received an invite to shower #2 for the previously discussed bride-to-be. The Mr. does not understand why this is not OK and why I will not be attending.

Dude, there is funny and then there are thoughts that should never be repeated. Find the line before you embark on that comedy career.

Absolutey disgusting. Leagl, though you ignored my request for a greatest hits library (harumph), I will now suggest a board called Junior High Gym Locker Room so us refined folks dont have to see this kind of thing, esp berfore our second vente iced soy latte.

this seems like some self esteem issues, and perhaps a subsidiary etiquette question.

First, any girl who drives that strong to the hoop as it were, is not expecting smooth sailing. She is looking for a little something-something in the taste department. so while no women in the past have seen this side of you, or appreciated it, you should have felt comfortable with "you" and what "you" could give her.

the kiss does present a tough etiquette question. after oral, of course it is polite for a man to do a fake lip kiss that slides into a cheek peck. But here, if you're right about the beer shit, her cheeks could be sullied. I think you only proper response is that you didn't ask for this attention, and so a kiss is not in order.

Paigow,

The "corn" line is one I used years ago on the old board.

I have no intention of respecting any lines.

S(I'm surprised you didn't flag me for self-plagiarization)D

I didn't flag you for anything bc once I saw the word "corn" in the "gaping" thread, I stopped reading. It was disgusting then and is disgusting now, and if you aren't gonna respect the gross out line, then I implore leagl to start a junior high locker room thread.

And in other news, did anyone see the story on Bears in Salon this week? Its all about the gay subculture of men who love men, body hair and non feminized clothes and all. Thank god. Men are about testosterone and hair and beer and fun and sex. If I wanted a feminized man, I'd be a dyke, just as if if I wanted a butch, then why would I be gay? Fuck these metrosexuals and their shaved body parts and fluffy sweaters and manperfume and hybrids and six pack abs. Give me a real man with that sexy manly chest hair who aint gonna be prettier than me (except PLF of course who I will always cherish even as his posting skills rot away like McEnroe's tennis abilities in the nineties).

And I have decided, and been told that I shouldnt brazilian anymore so maybe the gals should bring back some hair too. Not full on discomitt, but aesthetics are just getting downright weird.

Oh, gimme a break. What? Should we have 100 more posts about reality TV or Bennifer?

Reality TV is mildly amusing to watch, but about as interesting to discuss as the weather. The only thing more dull than a reality TV discussion is a discussion of people's dreams. The minute someone starts one of those near the water cooler, I just walk away. I don't even explain - I just rudely turn and walk, no matter how far along they are in the story. If they don't realize just how rude it is to discuss something that boring, I've no obligation to extend social niceties.

I'm all for any new thread, so long as its not about something as mindless and unfunny as what happened on television last nite.

S(at least gross is interesting)D

Perhaps the most annoying type of partner call of alltime. I usually respond with a direct-to-VM reply, saying something along the lines of "got your message . . . . what's the issue?" Rare is the partner who sees the red VM light and says "why didn't I hear it ring"

Gaping Specialists
 

Dude, if I can handle threads on wedding cakes, menus, boring ass bike races and hockey, then you can manage reality tv which is not discussed nearly as much, and the schadenfreude for Bennifer (that is really the topic, no?). You are bored, I am nauseated. Boredom doesnt warrant a new thread but nausea does. Otherwise I will hurl chai latte all over the keyboard and the perfumed IT guy doesnt want to clean that up.

Self esteem issues? My God, who is not self-concious about what their red-eye looks like up close? Hell, who the hell even knows...
So yes, I'm anally self-conscious.

Are you really insinuating that a chick who gives a rimmer digs the flavor/aroma/texture, etc...? I've been known to make arguments that test the envelope, but I'd never try to float that theory. I highly doubt the chick who gave me the rimmer was a "scat" fetishist. Twisted blathering coke casualty, yes. Scat fanatic, uh... no.

The refusal to kiss her was not about etiquette, it was about hygiene! Even if I had a Craftmatic Bed which allowed me to do so, I'd never give myself a rimmer. I'm certainly not going to kiss a chick where I'd effectively be giving myself a constructive rimmer. I've accidentally "snowballed" myself in the past and that taste is bad enough...

S(... she's lucky I shook her hand when she left)D
