You know in the deli when the sandwich guy makes a big show of wiping off the area where he's going to make your sandwich? Does the guy think that wiping it off with that skank-ass rag (the one he's been using all day to wipe up God-knows-what -- his nose, perhaps) is going to make you feel like the conditions are really hygienic and sanitary? I thought not.



Edited to fix spelling error in critical word -- but many thanks to Atticus for memorializing my error forever.

Also, since when are we able to delete posts? Cool.
We can delete posts? I can get myself down to three digits forever?

Yeah, but if he doesn't wipe the counter off before creating your masterpiece, pieces of someone else's condiment could end up in your sandwich - LIKE ONIONS, for example - so for that reason alone, it's worth it.

A church youth group seeking to perform "random acts of kindness" left hidden boxes of candy for strangers to discover and enjoy.

Unfortunately, those strangers were the bomb squad. {Spree: Yahoo.}

I seem to have gained this ability as well. The banner also tells me that if my post is the first in a thread the entire thread will be deleted.

It seems that even if Paigow can't get her numbers down to three digits, I could do this for her relatively easily thanks to the thread deletion thing.

Concur wholeheartedly.

I am amazed at the reporting on this issue. NPR had a story on a recent telemarketers convention where the industry kvetched about the Do Not Call list and lamented the loss of jobs.

I lose no sleep for telemarketers. I want them to lose their jobs. I want them to lose their cars, their houses, their wives, their husbands, their girlfriends because they have no money. (In fact, I don't want anyone to fuck telemarketers.) I want all telemarketers to get caught in a spiral of debt and depression.

Why do I wish so much pain on so many people?

Because after they fall behind on their payments, they'll start getting calls from collection agencies.

And don't get me started about metermaids...

A golem is a kind of monster, which is created from earth using magic by an evil alchemist or wizard to carry out his will. They are usually humanoid, and occasionally are supposed to pass entirely for human. They cannot be reasoned with or deterred, since they exist solely to carry out the will of their creator. They are very scary because, being made of earth rather than flesh, they cannot be killed or destroyed. They were supposedly often used as unstoppable assassins.

See, also, homunculus, a related (smaller) monster.

Just to piss off PLF, I will mention that my original statement about losing sleep for telemarketers losing their jobs was, as TM would say, a joke. I thought that when I said their "parasitic jobs" that was clear. I know you all got that, but I'd hate to be thought of as soft on telemarketers. As further proof, in case you need it, I will mention that the post was titled "fucking telemarketers". I didn't mean that in a I-want-to-fuck-them sort of way.

Also I will note for paigow that this is my most RPesque post to date. And it will be even better once I edit it.

This I get. Now people actually believed these things existed, or it was a television show for jews, or the equivlaent thereof in the old days?

this is why I cant be religious. too much bullshit has been proven to be unfounded, and only more and more does as time passes. religion actually seems fairly golemesque, preying on the ignorant and gullible. and it wont go away.

I mean this in a nice way, but the beating-on-Paigow thing has been done so many times before that if you can't bring some special flair to it, it's not worthing doing at all. Michelle Kwan got away with those single axles 'cause she was so [edited to avoid setting Atticus off], but that other chick with the quintuple lutzes won the gold.

It was a TV show for Jews, but back before they had TV, so the ratings were crap. NBC picked it up later, though, and renamed it "Geraldo". It did better that time.

I'll go with about 30 (as a male preferring females), but that's just a working theory.
Many women peak at 30. I remember seeing Bridget Fonda on her birthday (on a talk show, only c2ed and str8 and other cool people with numbers in their monikers actually get to go to parties with stars) and noticing how much better she looked at 30 than at 25.

I do think that a woman can have multiple peaks though. There can be one as they make the transition from girl to woman (typically at the 17-19 year mark) and then things can go downhill because of college, weight gain, consumption of cheap alcohol, wearing sweatshirts with greek letters on them, etc. Then after 10 or so years, things sort themselves out again, and they can look even better.

This explains why the really hot cheerleader in high school looks bovine at the reunion while the honors student with baggy clothes and bad skin surprises everyone years later.

On to another topic...

Whoever is the marketing director of Kentucky hockey should be given a bonus. Before the Ashley Judd calendar, I'd bet most people didn't even know Kentucky had a hockey team. Now if you're an actress/model from Kentucky it's become de rigeur for you to pose (i.e., Rebecca Gayheart). Even if you're not from Kentucky, you offer to pose for the publicity (i.e., Kylie Bax). Amazing.

That's one more reason to appreciate pornography. Because Blockbuster won't rent NC-17 movies or pornography, the only way that local stores can compete with Blockbuster is to provide better service and selection. So must local stores, even the "family-friendly" ones with balloons for the kids, have to stock adult titles.

Thwarting the man through use of gratuitous nudity and sex, it's a dream scenario.

Puppy - if it will help stem the tide of your burgeoning insecurity (and that is said with much love), think about it this way - the older you get, the bigger the pool of younger men. The life of a cougar is not too bad (so I have heard).

I'm just hoping that Matt gets something for his troubles at the end, because he does seem like a genuinely nice guy, even if he is a bit of a doofus. Giving up his trip to "Dr. Pat" after flattening her during the challenge was a nice move.

Cougar- The older woman at the bar who is really gussied up and
on the prowl for a man, preferably a younger one. Her kids are probably at home wondering why it's taking two hours to get a pack of smokes.

Origin- I guess this is a canadian term. I am not at all familiar with it, but it is pretty damn funny.

Usage- "Dude, what's up with that lady that was hitting on you over by the VP machine?"
"She's a total cougar, dude."
"Major coug."
"Take a look around, dude. This place is cougsville."

Tales from the jungle
 
So this cougar was at a bar waiting for a horse who used to post here A handsome young twenty something approaches her and starts talking and then stops and says "wait, you are out of my league". then he babbles on saying he is a waiter slash runway model. Then he asks her if she thinks its gay that he highlights his hair . She says yes. His cell phone keeps ringing (a lot, and he answers it "yo" and then "hey dawg" with a cool guitar riff ring. The cougar has always wondered how to get a cool cell phone ring (ideally, the theme song to "Curb your enthusiasm" bc she loves it) but is too old to know how to do such things. He offers to help her for fifty bucks. She politely declines. He tells her he is "feeling her". Would she like him to program his number into her cell? She decides that even though she is in her early to mid thirties, she is way too old to be a cougar.

Was the generatino gap this serious ten years ago or is this the work of napster and the pretty fly for a white guy movement?

For the poll:

At what age did younger look better than older?

Purely physical? 15.

If you actually want to converse with them after sex? 37.
