You think we hire just anyone?

I have to agree that, for the most part, the answer is A. Hippie indie alternative is often not an attractive look, sometimes involves unpleasant odors, and may be claimed to cover for what is really a lack of effort.

However, B may be true as well, once you have weeded out the northern CA hippie chicks by focusing on the hip hop crowd. The lack of effort reflected in many indie/hippie looks is not in practice much better than the widespread trying-too-hard looks I've frequently seen on forays to southern CA.

I re-gift wine all of the time. What they don't know won't hurt them. Of course, you can't re-gift to the same people who gifted you in the first place, but that's just common sense.

Also, showing up at a cocktail party with a bucket of KFC may seem funny at the time, but the host usually doesn't appreciate it (even if she understands that it's a joke). Of course, every other guy at the party skipped the cheese and crackers and chowed the chicken legs, but I digress...

The Pete Sampras thing=
John McEnroe is a total narcissist- and had to make it all aobut him.
Jim Courier totally phoned it in, but I was touched by the "hey man, give me a hug, man"
Boris Becker- has evolved into the very definition of Eurotrash. Yet strangely, I would still do him.

Tennis Yoko- maybe it is true that women get unattractive after they have a baby for some biological reason ( I mentioned that I heard this theory a while back). She has gone from nondescript Nicole Brown Simpson bleached blond lookalike but still pretty in that middleamerica, being a bleached blond with black eyebrows and brown eyes is the only way I know how to be pretty way, to just being a nondescript Nicole Brown Simpson lookalike. I redub her, the luckiest girl in the world. Oregon beauty pageant veteran goes to Hollywood to be a star, does a schlock movie with French Stewart called Love Stinks, and gets put together by Sampras's agent when Sampras actually sees this POS. Does one get luckier than that? We hate her.
And strangely, the Agassi baby is cuter, but I cannot explain how that baby is so cute.

For Love or Money. SPOILER








I just praise the Sweet Lord Jesus that I will never have to hear that creepy monotone drone ever again. Though I get the feeling he might not be above stalking Aaron (why is her name pronounced like this?). Erin looks like an overplucked Julia Roberts doesnt she? What was that business about Hottie Chad being a San Francisco guy? NTTAWWT

With a fungible like wine, sure you can. The appropriate stance is "we liked it so much we wanted to return the favor".

On the more interesting topics at hand, I like curling up with a good book, the sort that you read with one hand. If I am the only person on the board who has TCBed to that wild 13th century allegorical porno romp "Roman de la Rose," I recommend it highly. Oh yeah....

And, to tie that back into something from yesterday for Bilmore's benefit, I offer the following translated quote for your edification (on table manners, actually):

"She should not at the table close
Her eyes in sleep, nor even doze,
For many a strange untoward thing
Hath happed to dames thus slumbering
Such places are not made for sleep,
Tis wiser far good watch to keep,
For often folk mishaps have known
Thus sleeping: many have tumbled down
Supine, or prone, or on the side..."

Well, we can all see where that's going.

Slurs, Sluts, etc...
 

Here is the one thing I've noticed. I used to go out all the time. Bars, lounges, clubs. Mostly clubs (now it's bars and lounges where I can fucking here myself think and whoever I'm with speak -- yeah, I'm old. Turn it down). Back after I graduated from college, going out to a club that played hip hop meant following an underground party from night to night. Same few djs usually. Stretch Armstrong (tall, lanky white guy that had much skills), Funk Flex, etc. Hot girls. Mostly black and puerto rican. All other clubs REFUSED to play hip hop. Didn't want that color crowd, especially if they wanted the model set. All hip hop gear was banned at the door. Fucking sucked.

Now, on the few occassions I do go out, if you don't play hip hop, forget it. If you want the model set, you MUST play hip hop. Clubs, bars, lounges, whatever. A friend of mine dragged me to a place near my old high school, notorious back then for it's racism. He told me it changed. I walked in, and immediately did not believe him. Irish, white guys with nothing but scowls for me (the white girls never scowl -- I wonder why). Well, I spend 10 minutes in there and I want to get the hell out and what do you know? The next 2 hours, all that was played on the sound system was rap music. Surreal (not weird. surreal). Everyone in there knew all the words to most of the songs.

So, to sum up, hip hop is good. It brings people together.

I like books as well. I'm sure it is way too tame and banal for many of you non-vanilla types, but I have a particularly worn copy of the Story of O. It is so dogeared compared to my other books, which are in pristine condition that one guy once said "why don't you get rid of that old thing and get a new one?" I got rid of him instead.

I also am strangely aroused by nature documentaries of lions and crocodiles and bears and stuff. Sometimes when I watch one in polite company, I have to leave the room. (Not because I think about doing it with the animals, you perverts, just because it makes me horny - I don't know why, although maybe I do subconsciously think about doing it with a bear or something, who knows). anyway, carry on.

No, I'm saying it's increasingly required by some departments. Many are also offering incentives and tuition assistance for officers wanting to get their degrees, as they've found it to be helpful. That doesn't necessarily change blue-collar status of the job, though the job itself is changing.

Why wouldn't cops/firefighters be interested in hifalutin' book learnin'--because they're 'proles'?

Being a good host and guest
 

Darlin, in a classic, I went to a crap law school argument, you are confusing cause and effect. I am saying that because they had no degree for whatever reason, they had job options that included being a cop or fireman. NEver said they had no interest in reading. Hell, given the opportunities back in the dya, a cop or fireman could probably kick your ass on the LSAT.

Everyone can talk about their sex lives as much as they want--nothing wrong with that. And alone among the more explicit posters, you seem to need to constantly convince us of your virility, so you go right on ahead honey if it makes you feel better.

I'm also an avid reader. I have a small shelf full of erotica in my bedroom, and I'm always on the lookout for more. I've tried, and failed, to find stuff off of the internet. Reading erotica off the internet is like reading bad fanfic. It's poorly written, and halfway through I'm wanting to edit, not get off.

Wedding Faux Pas?
 

Michigan wedding guest acts up.
Spree: guest bites of finger of a another guest at wedding reception. The details are truly shocking, smearing cake on a 9 year old, knocking out another guest. Hopefully the videographer managed to catch all the action.

Reading this article brought to mind a few questions:

1. Was he (the biter) upset about having to bring the kegs to the reception?

2. Were there any visible tats on any members of the wedding party?

3. Did he have the tomato basil or mushroom asparagus soup?

Inquiring minds want to know.

I've witnesed similar behavior at weddings while working at a cheesy wedding reception hall during high school in NJ. Lots of fights, but no bloodshed or calls to the cops. The funniest incident was when the intoxicated bride fell down the grand staircase during the introductions.

Anthologies. I have a lot of the Mammoth Anthologies and some of the Herotica Anthologies. Usually about half of the stories will do something for me in an anthology. The other half, skipped. Novels are much more hit and miss, and I'm not so much of a connoisseur that I know specific authors to seek out, with the exception of Susie Bright. A few years ago, she taught a erotica writing seminar at Esalen in Big Sur that I wanted to go to, but timing was an issue, and I missed it. Perhaps the FB book club should start making recommendations in this area too?

Regifting your used porno?
 

I have several of the Heroticas and some Best of American Erotica. What are the Mammoth Anthologies?

Unfortunately, I loaned some of the books to an out-of-town friend. She has since gotten divorced and has not returned them. Connection? I dunno.

P.S. If she's reading this, that was a joke.

Gay Reality TV News
 

realityblurred has told me the following:

1. Boy Meets Boy

A Boy Meets Boy cast member who was booted during the first episode has been dismissed from the Navy. Michael Jason Tiner, who was known as Jason on the show, "a gay combat systems instructor for the Navy, was discharged from the military for violating the 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' policy," Southern Voice reports. Tiner said he "was fully aware of what would happen. I was ready for it." He was recognized by superiors on a commercial for the Bravo show, but independently told his superiors "and received an honorable discharge," the paper reports. He says he reason he "did the show is that I felt if anyone had a right to go on the show, then I did. I should have all the rights that the other 14 guys have. I was comfortable enough with who I am and with my sexuality that I was ready to face the consequences."

2. Amazing Race

On their Early Show appearance Friday, The Amazing Race 4 winners Reichen Lehmkuhl and Chip Arndt appeared without their wedding bands, fueling rumors that the two are no longer together. "Rumors in the gay press were based on our discussion of stresses in our relationship," Reichen told the Orlando Sentinel's Hal Boedeker. "What put stress on the relationship was we had to keep the secret [about the show's outcome]. As it stands, we love each other. We're committed to make sure the other person is happy," he says. However, in an interview with The Advocate, Reichen says, when people ask, "'Are you together?' The answer is, 'No, not all the time.' We're still working things through. It's been a tough time." As for their post-show careers, Reichen "will appear in the season premiere of Frasier" and Chip "has written a script for a series."

Read over a girl's shoulder on the subway: "Luke stood over the balcony, completely nude. His penis was long and erect; his stomach impossibly flat..."

Mucho entertainment for me though. High comedy. It probably would have been sexy had the girl not been woefully unattractive...

So on RT's bookshelf, you will find books about strippers, pirates, and erotica. anttwat on all that. While the internet was down, I enjoyed reading Lydia Lunch's Paradoxia. I also enjoyed some of her work with Clint Ruin in other media. He official webpage is here.

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/se...080051-6650417 I think that this lists all of them. Just a bunch of anthologies. One of them is historical, one is international, and I think they probably do one every year or so to add new authors/stories. Use the Lawtalkers link to Amazon to buy them though!

If she started out a prole, and now has money, her friends may see her as uppidity (I thought the term was uppity, but I yield to your more extensive prole experience). If she started out as a non-prole, married a prole, and is entertaining his prole friends then she might be seen as pretentious and he might be seen as uppidity.

Re: "uppity," I always thought this was partly racial and not just class-oriented. Perhaps uppidity is a cleansed version of uppity.

This post is an example of patronizing.

Wedding Faux Pas?
 

The smoking gun has more on the CT bride. Sounds like quite a peach. She asked officers how much time she would get if she killed her husband, and referred to a fellow arrestee by using the n-word. My favorite: when asked to sign the rights form, she wrote, "stupid people arrested me because." One of the more entertaining arrest reports I've read.

Things I don't do include block parties, potluck dinners, etc... Call me a snob, but having grown up amongst the patch, I just can't dig the communal neighborhood thing.* I prefer the neighbors to generally leave me alone. The last thing I need at the end of the day is some dimwit chick strolling her kids near me to strike up a conversation about some banal topic. Leave me to read me paper and enjoy my Amstel in peace thank you, and I'll do the same for you. Now, should we randomly start talking and develop a friendship, great, but lets not force things. People should realize that at the end of a work day, one's primary goal is "alone time," unless, of course, I'm entertraining for business purposes.

As to the procreation thing, I think some rather repulsive cat name Ronald Fisher developed a thesis years ago which stated that statistically, through history, the lower classes tended to repoduce more than the upper classes. Obviously, this is a generalization with many exceptions, but from what I see amopng middle through upper class folks, it appears the less dough you have the bigger the family you have. My guess is because the less educated you tend to be the more you might believe nonsense like the Catholic Church's barring of birth control. Once you go to school, you pretty much wash organized religion down the drain like the societal dandruff it is... Catholicism is the chief reason Catholics have been down for so long. I'll bet you if I threw rice into a crowd of blue collar folks with more kids than they can afford, I'd hit 80% Catholics. Itss really rather sad to see so many people with no independence of thought. So yes, its a Catholic thing.

* Luckily, my immigrant forebears rigidly taught us the value of education and "not behaving like the shanty Irish." My grandfather always said the fools stayed in the mines and factories and got their union cards... the smart saved and went into business. I shudder to think what kind of dim mick I might have been had my forebears been as stupid as a lot of the other poor Catholic immigrants.

More Space







I think Erin's friend meant he's not special (they live in SF). Her friend kept telling her to take the money take the money take the money and not worry about anything else.

Chad will pick the money over her, because he is already suspicious that something is going on. She is clearly not into Wade, and I frankly have no idea why she eliminated Rob, except that she seems incredibly suspicious of everyone and their motives. This sounds like a life issue as much as a show issue.

TCBing and the pole
 

What does TCB stand for?


My best place has to be in a hot, dusty old attic. I was living in a house with 5 other people, and two of us started seeing each other. We were hiding our relationship so that it's wouldn't weird others out, plus it made for hotter sex. (Of course, they all eventually found out.) We hadn't really been in the attic much, and I was pretty amazed how disgusting it was. REALLY thick layers of dust. We just stood up, her in front of me, and I leaned my hand against a pole, which was the only part of either of our bodies (besides our feet) that touched anything in that attic. It was totally hot, and then we snuck into the shower together.

Some of the best sex I've ever had.

Don't concur on Rob. I think Aaron genuinely felt she couldnt put him through the humliation of taking the money twice on national tv, plus he is a creepy stalker with an unbearable monotone. Better for him to cut his losses then get his hopes up. I think she feels sorry for him, as she should bc man is he a loser. How can someone so hot be so ugly?

As for Wade, I didnt watch this from the beginning but I get this totally unctuous vibe from him. Do men in Texas regularly call chicks "sweetheart"? Why not say "hi generic girl whose name I cant remember"? Yuck. I will pretend to myself that my Matthew Mconnaughey would never do such a thing.

My theory on the SF man thing would be that as SF is where the most beautiful straight men in the country migrate and where they have the male female ration advantage, so they cannot really be taken serioulsy for a LTR unless they are already married. In other words,playa playa. I totally didnt get what you got. Anyone else have a theory on this? Chad is fucking A hot and is out of Aaron's league (unless she grows in her eyebrows, loses the eye shadow and develops some personality) so of course he takes the money.
