I simply do not man-crush on short men. I admit it; I'm prejudiced. I apologize to any short men on the board; there's an exception to every rule. Jon Stewart seems very nice, for example. But I worked far too long for a diminutive man who fulfilled every Napoleonic stereotype. Ever since, I've been lacking the admiration/want-to-be-him feeling for any short men. Sue me. Consider it a blemish on an otherwise sweet disposition. But don't try to change me, baby.

I read this: I don't like being dominated by short men. I prefer to be dominated by taller men.

You don't have to change, hon, you can stay the way you are. I just think you need to come to terms with yourself.

Seems fair enough. You can never wear heels when you're with a short guy.

Yeah, the bar is the Persian Aub Zam Zam. The owner/bartender was a classic - an octogenarian who was only open when he wanted to be and who would kick people out if he didn't like the way they dressed or talked, but he made one of the best three martinis in the City. He died a couple years back and I don't know who owns the bar, but it is now open seven days a week.

I admit the man only threw me out once (my one and only attempt to get a drink there), but the lore was that the ritual was somewhat more elaborate than that. There was no wait staff; tables were always closed (why he even had them in the place, I'll never know); if there was no room at the bar (seats 15), you couldn't come in, even to wait. Order only a martini; ask for anything else and you're tossed. Sit quietly; pay with a $5 bill only. Do not engage bartender in chit-chat. Shit like that.

Back in 1996, the Marina singles and bohos both ate it up with a spoon.

So now you have to tell me what was the discussion? Why would a man have a glycolic peel? Or a hot picture of Bret Boone? Why would woman care so much about cars and baseball? Is that it?

That dude would be SOOOOOO fired from Bennigans.

I have never seen this dude before, and he is undoubtedly hot. However, I would STILL rather look at a picture of a hot chick than a picture of him (or any other hot guy). Do most straight women get off on seeing pictures of half naked men? I mean, being in the same bed/backseat/couch/coffin/etc. as a naked man is one thing, but just to look at? Doesn't do it for me.

No, I think it was just the "I'm the best DH in the world" and man pic that threw her off. Plus, she doesn't read all that closely.

P.S. She also missed that DS is now posting as B_R_C until I clued her in--it's not just you.

PM is not IM. Your office probably neither recognizes nor sanctions this entire board, but PMs are web-based, and probably are not more likely to get your noticed or in trouble. (Unless someone rescinds one, and you go postal when you can't delete from your box.)

That was added to test for reading comprehension. Much like a bathtub, a coffin is simply too small an area in which to do the sex to someone. Especially if that someone is not of Napoleonic dimensions.

It's still there, and no one is dead yet. It is still annoying me. No one else seems to have tried to add any phantom messages to my box (if they have tried, they've failed; there's still just the one).

So I think "postal" is a bit of an overstatement. And if you think I am postal, do you really want to taunt me?

Larry: "they all thought he was an effeminate heterosexual ..."
Jeff: (shaking his head knowingly) "there's no such thing!"
Larry: "exactly, there's no such thing!"

RP, you've convinced me. I've gotta get HBO, or I'll miss all of the in-jokes on the FB.

Let me know if it is gone now.

just curious

Has anyone actually seen a Segway? Not on TV, but in person?
