I say not an asshole, but I suffer from brain damage so the answer my be otherwise.

It depends. Are you showing much leg or cleavage? Also, are you already an asshole? Welcome to the Boards!

Not an asshole. The pattern gives people an excuse for staring at your tits. ("I was just trying to determine what country that pattern derives from. Are erect nipples more a sign of the Zimbabwean Ndebele, or the South African?")

Bold Stars n' Stripes patterns are in this summer, so no worries.

I am relieved you were able to stay focused and not get distracted by Ironweed's little "Hey everybody, I like free jazz" bid for attention. Yes, yes, Ironweed. You've suddenly become far more intriguing to us. I can't wait to hear about your passion for beat poetry.

If only I could find a board that you don't post on and never read, I might just get a minute's peace from your incessant stalking. But where?

It's better than my dress with live baby seals. They tend to get really annoying during the dinner portion.

Question
 
word is that Jerry Seinfeld insisting there could be no "Jerry got mega-rich from the show" references on the Curb reunion show (Kramer/George/Elaine/Jerry all together). I don't get how it is an issue- didn't Larry David make dollar for dollar with Jerry? how is he going to write a joke that Jerry can't live with.

First, congrats and welcome back.

Second, you've hit upon something I've been noticing for a while--this place is dying, part of it is that we limited the user base for a long time, part of it is facebook and part is just damn laziness/life. I'm hoping we can figure out some way to keep this place active.

I think also we are not the attention-whores we once were so that the urge to overshare by posting and posting and posting is not so strong anymore. And by "we" I mean "me."

This is an excellent point, and one that I decided not to include, because I am a nice guy. Frankly, this place has gone downhill ever since you found monogamy and continued to find it. What the fuck lady? There's really just no point in coming here anymore.

So, does this mean I should have mentioned a business associate's offer to give us his hot girlfriend for a weekend rather than the cocktail dresses I have my eye on?

I was going to suggest another Breasticle day as a way to revive things, but your post indicates that might not work.

The problem is, we've already talked about and polled each other on everything interesting. And since there's no fresh meat (and since Penske no longer pretends he's fresh meat with 247 socks), there's nothing new. Hell, we don't even have crazy ass paigow anymore. And can we all agree that she provided hours and hours of lunatic-infused fun?

I've been meaning to tell you, in my considered opinion, the quality of life you can expect going forward does not justify the expense. You should visit a friend of mine in Royal Oak Michigan.

did they put a price on the consultations? cha-ching!
