I have to admit that I was prepared to disagree with your post, just like I have your other posts on this subject, but then you won me over with this rhetorical tour de force! "Everyone who's posted on this topic knows I'm mainly correct." Brilliant! I must concur. In fact, I think I'll use this trick in my next brief. It'll start, "Bitch, please. Everyone who's argued in this court knows I'm mainly correct. Et cetera . . . ."

I don't watch reality TV, since Survivor year 1. Don't mean anything by that statement other than to support a knowledge gap. Saw this show with 4 kids trying to find a new wife for dad, with 4 women late 30 maybe 40's sleeping in a common bedroon indad's house. I had many questions about it, and hoped you all would be writing about it, but there is apparent silence. Is this because its so beneath the other shows you don't watch it? are there simply too many to keep up with?

And PJ, is your SO known as Manpurse junkie?
Or, men could just clean themselves as if they were actually potty-trained.

Mr. PJ will suffice. Sadly, he does not see the beauty of my glorious obsession, and is solely a messenger-bag kind of guy at worst (at best?).

WASHINGTON, July 30 — President Bush said Wednesday he has government lawyers working on a law that would define marriage as a union between a woman and a man, casting aside calls to legalize gay marriages. “I BELIEVE MARRIAGE is between a man and a woman and I believe we ought to codify that one way or the other and we have lawyers looking at the best way to do that,” the president said a wide-ranging news conference at the White House Rose Garden.
“I am mindful that we’re all sinners and I caution those who may try to take a speck out of the neighbor’s eye when they got a log in their own,” the president said. “I think it is important for our society to respect each individual, to welcome those with good hearts.”

Can someone please explain to me what that last bit means. I've read it a couple of times and I just don't get it.

For a contrary view, we turn now to Carson Kressley: "Boxers are hot, and by boxers I mean guys who box, not the underwear. So get rid of 'em!"

(Please note: I wouldn't dress like Carson, even for Halloween.)

Jai is the gayest man on the show. Discuss.

Here is a simple rule I think we can all agree on.

Boxers are hot for straight men
Hybrids are hot for gay men
Man panties are standard for your dad.

Now this show is so utterly atrocious that it is cool to watch. The dialogue sounds scripted, the edting is stilted, and the emotional tugs are embarassing to even watch. This show has been on and off with different families and slight variations all summer.

I have only seen the current version once.

The only thing that I would add is that, on the right straight man (like, for example, the Abercrombie & Fitch twins) magic underpants (hybrids) are wonderful.

Where's Fat Boy?
 
This just seemed soo appropriate, tying together the Onion (except it's apparently a real story) and fat people:

"Four-hundred pounds of gorgonzola ravioli in unmarked bags. That's supposedly the ransom demand from the kidnappers of "Fat Boy," a seven-foot-high fiberglass chef statue that was swiped from in front of an Italian restaurant on Cape Cod. "

from http://wcco.com/water/watercooler_story_210122445.html

Or how about: JFK's boxers on display. "The white cotton underwear, dating from Kennedy's early career as a U.S. naval officer in World War II, went on display Tuesday in the window of a central Dublin menswear shop."

Please, allow me to put on my homophobe translation goggles for you.

Ok. Here we go.

It is politically correct not to bash gays, so I will make it clear that we need to respect them on one hand, but I will still bash them as sinners on the other, and make a case based upon the religious viewpoints of some that it is ok to discriminate against an entire group of people because they are different even though we are supposed to have separation of church and state, and, well, I personally could give a shit, but, it is almost an election year, I need the votes, so fuck the fags and their silly equal rights. And who cares about federalism, I'm just a republican.

Edited to clarify that the attitude so poorly expressed by Prez is shitty.

Also to add that the phrase is biblical and basically means, don't attempt to fix the small imperfections of others when your own keep you from seeing the reality of both their imperfections and your own.

I read it differently. I read it to say "I know I'm a sinner as well, but, geez, you know, my sins aren't anything like this, they're just the kind of manly things we Yalie Texans do, but here it grosses me out just talking about the sickos. These are the kinds of sins we're willing to throw the first stone on. Even if we may have our little sins these are great big flaming whoppers of sins that condemn them all to hell so we're just the instrument of God's wrath."

I always understood the expression "don't take a speck out of someone's eye when you've got a log in your own" to be saying something along the lines of "if you've got your own big problems, don't interfere with the little problems of others" - a physician, heal thyself kind of thing. I don't think your president is using it in the appropriate context.

Baryshnikov doesn't wear boxers.

Now, SITC may be worth watching. If he wears his tights.

July 30 — Mr. Big, Berger, and now ... Baryshnikov. Famed Russian ballet dancer Mikhail Baryshnikov, 55, will join HBO’s “Sex and the City” series as a love interest for Sarah Jessica Parker’s character, Carrie Bradshaw, The New York Times reported Wednesday. THE SERIES is on its final season, and Parker, 38 told the Times that the show had always planned for her character to end with a romance bigger than that with the character Mr. Big (played by Chris Noth), her major romance since 1998. He will play a European artist, though it has not been said if he will play a dancer.


He had better play a dancer, and he had better wear his tights.

Since my hot gay male friends have long gotten more female attention than I have, I'm gonna keep wearing the hybrids.

Boxers are too dangly, and arguably decrease sensitivity.

I have always used Geez. Probably because of Gee, like in Gee that sucks. So Geez would naturally follow. But I see the natural progression to Jeez if you're using it as short for jesus(christ).

so he's telling others "not to throw stones" at gay people since those others live in a glass house, but saying "me and my government lawyers we live in a White House so we gonna throw some stones?" not sure it was appropriate-

I always thought of it as a shorter, less offensive form of "Jesus H. Christ!" (Never figured out what the H. stood for come to think of it.) Although I can and do swear like a sailor halfway through a bottle of rum, I have tried to cut back on directly invoking the Big Guy as it really upsets a churchgoing pal of mine.

Then again, that's the least of the offensiveness worries on this board.
