I did. Fringey will be happy to know that a tree already has fallen across from my house. I ducked though. A scofflaw stole the street's stop sign, though, so I should be safe on that count.

DC in its usual helpful fashion said "we will begin accepting calls for removal of fallen trees once the storm has ended." Not: we won't come out to remove it just yet; but: we don't even want to hear about it just yet.

Yes, it was clearly a hypothesis. Increasing sample size will enable you to achieve a greater regression towards the mean. Or a more accurate regression? Crap, I just sucked all of the fun out of this post.

(Trying to find that mean)

I feel so special
 

I'm not going to say it doesn't happen. In fact, the most "flaming" -- meaning really vocal -- lesbian I remember from my first year married (a man) shortly after graduation and has a passel of kids (they're still married last I heard.) I know more lesbians from high school (didn't know they were lesbians when we were in high school; just since have found out from class reunions and whatnot) than from college. What's more, my college had twice as many students as my high school (and thus 4x as many womyn).

Most of the art history majors I knew were the uptight, preppy gals (like the one who is still breastfeeding her six year old). However, when you (the collective "you" -- obviously not you, Atticus :kisscheek), are rich, fat and impotent, your trophy wife will undoubtedly regale you with the types of stories you describe. Not, however, because they are true, but because her solid undergraduate education provided her with superlative story-telling abilites (all those writing requirements -- SHEESH!). So, not to worry.

Question about sex
 

DING DING DING!!!

We have a winner! I was wondering when somebody was going to figure this out....

This guy I know is unbelievably handsome; I mean, like Matthew McConnawhooseeewhatsis after a shower. He is also unbelievably anti-social (he's nice to me though. I think because he knows I'm unavailable, and unlikely to be throwing myself at him, but I digress.)

He has no need to be personable, because he has chicks (and dudes, actually) throwing himself at him all the time.

And now for something interesting.
 

Thanks for the defamation, but I indeed have quit socking. In fact as I recently emailed E/O, as she can attest, I recognized quite a while ago, in dog years, that my socking had jumped the proverbial shark.

Further, looking at the post at issue:

I never worked for a Democrat;
I never interned for a Senator;
I never lived with 5 roommates, except for the first two weeks of freshman year of college;
I never lived with interns;
I never had one night stands;
I never slept in the same room with another person who was my roommate and with whom I was not intimately involved, if you know what I mean <wink wink>, NTTAWWT;
I have never owned a Dave Matthews band CD or even listened to one, no offense, NTTAWWT;
Other than one time in highschool, I have never vomitted on another living human being;
I have never kicked anyone's ass. Yet.

FWIW, fyi, for the record, I will commence with my return to the sport of K-racing for the race for 100K. Being the one and only holder of a 100K post in the history of Greedy Associatedom, I consider K races for anything less to be for amateurs and pikers. And hacks. No offense.

I thought the question was not whether he does or does not suck, but whether he does a good job of it?

This does not account for the decreasing value of the car, however. I think many people (at least instinctively, if not consciously) do not analize this cost as cost of repairs, but rather the cost of repairs compared to the value of the car. This ratio continuously goes up, at least until cars become collectable.

I'm not saying this is rational, but it is a corollary of viewing a car as an asset rather than an expense.

That being said, I'm going home to get the hell out of this storm before it gets any worse.

No I'm standing up as the living embodiment of the refutation of your assertion of such fallacy. You just pick the wrong self-centered beautiful people to have sex with.

Are you at HOME? This whole thing started when you were scoffing at the idea of people not going to work as usual today. But maybe that tree fell last night. If you are at home, and staying inside, then my helpful reverse psychology warnings worked. You may not like me, but I might have saved your worthless life.

On a different note, if you criticize someone's flaming style as dull or unoriginal or unimaginative, and almost immediately thereafter make a joke (about that person no less) that relies on the concepts that the person is ugly/undesirable, you don't want to have sex with her and Thurgreed's mama just confirms for everyone that you are a sucky flamer. You also seemed to be working with Wanker which is never a good thing. I don't think he's ever had more than one or two original/interesting/funny insults of me, ever. Usually they are either cliches or derivative of other peoples' funnies, like my multiple personalities and need for medication.

w/r/t the head on the platter, the bloody stop sign is on the floor; you just can't see it.

Absolutely right. And it is irrational, which is why I related it to sunk cost decision theory. Car owners regard the annual amounts already spent as expenses, not capital improvements, and rightly so. But they go on to regard past expenses + past depreciation as being part of the total cost of ownership, and weigh it against a very loose idea of present FMV to determine if they're "behind" --- in other words, "Have I already spent too much on this car, and will I just keep paying more and more in the future?" The answer is "yes," but they're combining sunk costs with an illogically inflated amount for anticipated future costs, which is a double whammy.

Nobody said it was a rational enterprise, but I wanted to deprive people of the pleasure of thinking they were saving themselves money by dumping an old car before it got really expensive to keep it running. You just bought yourself a new car with pretty much the same annual repair cost --- you're just paying for it differently (i.e., the first two, three or four years' worth is plowed into the cost of the car and probably financed).

You missed the headline: "Isabel comes calling and Washington shuts down"?

Question about sex
 

Now this is the sort of topic we should have all the time...

1. How you look is part of being good in bed. I don't care how great the technique, if you're really aestehtically unpleasant, your partner ain't going to enjoy it that much. Some folks will say "I love him/her and looks don't matter to me." Bullshit. I don't doubt your deep love, but we both know you wish like hell that your partner was a lot hotter. When you're fucking, you want a hot partner, and there's no way around that fact.

2. A gorgeous chick gets a pass for being mediocre in bed, but not for being bad in bed. Just because you're hot doesn't mean you can "phone it in" all the time.

3. HOWEVER, you should NEVER tell a person before sex, especially if you're drinking and the other person is drinking, just how hot you think he/she is. Every time a chick has said she thought I was good looking I felt like I could totally "mail it in," and if I'd had a few wines with dinner, I did exactly that (although I always made sure to make up for it the next morning because karmically, handing out bad sex will bring you terrible future luck). Conversely, every chick who made me wonder whether she really dug me gave me something to prove, so I worked harder to do the best job I could. So never tell anyone you think they're really hot until after you've fucked them at least twice sober.

4. I think rule #3 only applies to guys, because it seemed that when I tell a woman how horny she makes me, she'd get more turned on, whereas guys are lazy bastards who'll use any excuse to work less.

5. Tell the guy who sucks in bed what he needs to do to fix his technique. Guys are open to that sort of criticism, and if they're not, they're insecure, and if they're insecure, they'll never be good in the sack.

Only wimps stay home. Wimp. Or, that was your implication. I don't want to scroll back that far, but you were mocking DC for shutting down for the least little thing, like a couple few inches of snow, or a hurricane. Apparently your reasoning was that people in DC were delusional in thinking that Isabel would really have a tremendous effect because, as I think you pointed out, DC is not on the shore.

Jesus. If you are home, you go back and find the post that prompted my stop sign comment.

Except if you were a real man, you would go in to work. If streets are closed or you need to take the Metro and it's closed, walk. It's not like you will get knocked over by a wave or whatever.

If you're sublimate by vomiting on pets, be patient about kicking someone's ass. Sooner or later, an ass, or at least its owner, will object.

Question about sex
 

Bullshit. I've known a few chicks who were utterly stunning who seemed aloof until I actually made the effort to meet them. Most of them were actually rather shy and kind of socially awkward because people rarely addressed them normally. Usually, they just got creepy lines from freaks because most normal guys thought these chicks were out of their league. If you're single and normal and see a hottie, go talk to her just like she was a guy and be normal - you'll probably find she's available, or at least maybe make a friend.

The hot guy you know probably just has no personality.

By the way, no matter how hot a guy is, he still has to work it. I don't know any cat who can just stand at a party and wait for chicks to hit on him.

I mocked yesterday. Unfortunately, my employer doesn't pay enough that I have Metro in my back pocket, and email entreaties alone were unsuccesful. They closed not because their trains can't go in the rain and wind, but because they were afraid people would be blown off platforms.

And, yes, I'm doing everyone who's (indeed) enjoying fb's hurricane jokes a favor. You're welcome.

Burger accidentally PMed this instead of posting it: "Yes. Real men don't listen to their employer who say "work from home." Makes sense."

Sheep. If it is actually not possible for the weather to be that bad, you should exercise some independent judgement and go in, not join the flocks who stock up on water and canned food any time flurries are predicted.

I've never been able to figure out why anyone buys a new car, myself. Get something a couple or three years out of the showroom with a decent maintenance record and no bad crash history, you take advantage of the biggest chunk of depreciation, it's new enough to not be technologically defunct yet, and you have good information on the reliability of the model. Plus, if you want, you can afford something much nicer than you can get new. Then take care of it.

I think new car smell is overrated.
