Upper class people don't just wander out into parking lots. They have their people do that. C'mon.

For those who don't know, when paigow says "this is private, take it off the board," she really means "please insult me in private so I can claim you are a psycho and then forward your messages to everyone else as 'proof' thereof."

"Look at these horrible 'private' messages I got from so-and-so. Isn't s/he CRAZY?"

JFF,

I'd reply, but I have a problem with explaining my appearance to a man.

That is not an accurate description of their courtship. My Mom used my Dad as her ticket out of nowheresville. Got to give her credit because it worked.

Its not like women of her generation had too many options.
Sure some of them got PhDs, but in her day, if you had a pretty face and perky C-cup breasts, you didn't get a PhD you got married. There was pressure on the women of her generation to get married and have kids and stay at home and raise them. She wasn't the type to buck the tide. Found herself the best sperm donor she could.

Quite frankly, I thank her for it. Money may not make you happy, but it sure does make life easier.

MBA inspired question:
 

Damn, you got me... Bastard.

I really hate people who use h/c tags who aren't entitled to it - makes me want to yell at people who look perfectly healthy. And I might, but for the persistant fear that they might actually have some horrible heart condition which, if yelled at, would cause them to drop dead.

My new grocery store however, has like, 50% h/c spaces and I have to park far far away from the store, which I do not like. I know the number is regulated, but damn - there are never 30 disabled persons there at once - even on Saturdays.

They also have preggo spaces, but I won't be applying to get a tag until I'm huge and obvious, if then (seems kind wussy).

MBA inspired question:
 

MR,

I disagree. She's actually just running away. Her other trick is to focus on some peripheral part of the post which nails her and try to switch the focus. A good example is her earlier reply to a post from Barely where PP totally ducked the meat of PP's comments and instead focused on some irrelevant comment Barely had made to food. She'll run down each and every laughablr segueway. When caught with her pants around her ankles, her m-o is to deflect.

I'm experimenting today. I want to see what happens when she's forced to deal with her words. So far, its gone as expected.

S(call me cruel, but she ought not to press my buttons)D

MBA inspired question:
 

I remember that back in the dark pre-Survivor days, when AFC games were on NBC like the good lord intended, being broadcast by Don Criqui and Bob Trumpy, I would watch CBS only from the second week in March through the beginning of April, maybe tuning back in for the Masters.

Now, however, it's ABC that I only watch once in a blue moon. MNF (if I'm not playing hockey), and Bachelor. Of course, I wouldn't watch NBC at all if it wasn't for Boomtown and the Law & Orders.

Speaking of which, I watch Six Feet Under every Sunday, and Boomtown is a much much better show. 6FU has become a soap opera in the worst sense. Boomtown has great characters, great character arcs, each episode has its own brilliant individual cop/detective-stories, awesome performances, good dialogue, everything. I know it's doing solidly well, but I don't understand why it isn't a smash hit. I know disparaging 6FU is heresy in some circles, but I really gotta say that I'm not feelin it dawg.

str8 (off to see Jon Bon tonight) shiller.

You've only demonstrated you're not touchy about your wife's appearance.

I can just picture Sebby bringing the Mrs. into the plastic surgeon for a tune-up when her looks fade and she no longer catches his eye or stiffens his dick. With his limp little dick in hand, he'll drive her to the plastic surgery center. He'll have a checklist with him containing all her imperfections for the plastic surgeon to erase. He'll have the laser pointer with him to use to show the plastic surgeon exactly where to slice, dice, and suck her. Mrs. Dangerfield sure did marry a winner.

I thought that the spots reserved for pregnant women were a courtesy and not legally binding (meaning you can't get a ticket if you park there and aren't pregant)? Can you really apply for pregnancy tags?

MBA inspired question:
 

Bite your tongue. Getting rid of Bob Costas was worth the move over to CBS. It also put Cris Collingsworth off the air for a couple of seasons, though I see that he managed to weasel his way back on through Fox.

If only similar moves could have gotten rid of Bill Walton.

Hey, please don't kill the messenger, leagl. If I were her parents, I'd disown her for what she said.

Not all attractive women of her mom's generation pimped themselves to the highest available bidder/meal ticket and not all well-off men bought women like chairs. Some couples actually really liked each other.

No, they're not legally binding - you have to get a little stork tag from the store, as I understand it, or they will shake their fists at you and tell you off.

MBA inspired question:
 

This post doesn't make you look any less psycho. And why would you insult someone in a private message, and NOT expect them to forward it?

Just for the record, if you ever insult me in a pm, I will post that shit all over the board.

and yes TM, I am dominating the board today. It's all about ME ME ME today. Me. Me. and more Me.

Her face is okay, but not great. Her body is average. She is not sexy (which sometimes cures the other problems).

I would date a deaf chick (and would definitely date a def chick). When I said something stupid, she could just pretend she didn't hear me.

MBA inspired question:
 

So far she seems to be ignoring you. I gather this is what you were expecting.

MBA inspired question:
 

I know there''s a specific point to this, and I'm curious what it is? I didn't see PJ's commentary as being far from the mark. Additionally, JFF's continuing responses seem to support her interpretation.

If you look at it from the point of view that a healthy person is keeping an H/C person from using the space, then of course it's deplorable. But as you pointed out, often there are more than enough H/C spaces.

But if you look at from a "finding a way to park illegally without getting caught" point of view, it isn't that big of a deal. It's mostly just annoying. Kind of like the guy who drives down the shoulder to avoid sitting in traffic. Everyone hates that guy. But the fact is that guy has the stones to take a chance at getting a ticket so he can shave ten minutes off of his commute.

MBA inspired question:
 

I'd think it's the other way around -- that's why a deaf chick would be willing to date YOU.

It's something of a low ambition as dating strategies go, but hey, whatever works.

You are assuming it has anything whatsoever to do with the substance of the conversation. It does not.

I can see where you're going with this, and will merely tell you that you should NOT go get knocked up just for the cool HC tags.

MBA inspired question:
 

Barely,

The point is, she can't defend herself in public, so she uses a fourth grade level gimmic to try to look cool. Forwarding PMs with the heading "Isn't this guy psycho?" is cheap deflection. The mental machinations required to use this tactic prove that both the sender and the receiver of the vitriolic PM are equally psycho.

S(I never PM)D

MBA inspired question:
 

Bilmore, I think you've answered your own question:

MBA inspired question:
 

Do you take everything literally? The point is that I never actually had the PMs forwarded to me, but M-R is so paranoid that I'm sure he assumes I did. And do you really think she forwarded them to people with the heading "Isn't this guy psycho" and then told him that she forwarded his messages with the heading "Isn't this guy psycho?"

The reason his post is funny is because he obviously sent her some insulting pms, and then freaked out b/c she asked on the board how to forward PMs. Well, that's why I think it's funny. And I have no beef with M-R at all, I actually like him. I'm just trying to help him sound like less of a dumbass. That is my mission in life.

MBA inspired question:
 

Don't forget... you got your dad's cock, too.

MBA inspired question:
 

I have some questions for you. Are you a glutton for punishment? Do you not realize you're not talking to an actual person? Is it possible that almost everyone on this board (Sparklehorse and SD notwithstanding) except you, knows that any interaction with it is a pointless and annoying? What kind of answer do you think it will give you to your question? Why do you care?

You are worse than it is, in that it is intentionally annoying us while you unintentionally annoy us by giving it honest responses.

Enough already.

AI
 

Just catching up, so I'm going to bring up the AI thread again. Not to detract from the fascinating discussion that's going on now...

Clay: He does one thing and he does it well. Unfortunately for him that one thing is Elton John type ballads, which does not make one an American Idol.

Kim L: I thought she was great. I had my doubts about the song, but her interpretation was very different from Celine’s and it worked for me.

Rickey: His vocal control is weak. I thought he was nothing special.

Kim L: She wanted to show versatility but forgot that she isn't versatile. Oops. She looked amazing, though.

Josh: I was not impressed. He did seem more comfortable onstage, but he would not have made it far on Nashville Star.

Carmen: I h8 her.

Trenyce: Once again, gave a performance that was close to very good, but somehow missed the mark.

Ruben: Fantastic. I know some people thought it was dull, but I was impressed that he didn’t feel the need to strain. Just good singing and good fun. I want to hug him.

Bottom 3 will be Trenyce, Carmen and Kim C. Bottom 3 should be Josh, Rickey and Carmen.

MBA inspired question:
 

Holy crap. Apology accepted.

I didn't see that one coming so I'm at a loss for words.

I hope that your mood gets better and whatever is causing it goes away.
