But a hipster is not necessarially a "doofus." One must be guilty of both failings to earn that title.

Yeah, like PLF.

It's an American Pale Ale, not an IPA. It might contain a lot of hops, but it doesn't taste nearly as hoppy as many of the hop bombed beers.

And just because this country has gone hop crazy doesn't mean there aren't some places who do it right.

Okay then. Should I cross it's path, I will give it a try.

No opinion on that, but side boob is the best boob.

Better than underboob? Please.

Any boobs that still have under boob are good boobs.

Just where the hell has TM been lately, anyway?

Clear. Concise. Stating a conclusion that, like any boob with underboob, holds up to closer inspection. This is the kind of work I'd like to see more of.

We are social animals and what we do impacts others. Maybe people in Less's hypothetical think that the reasons for their decision trumps the pain such a decision will cause others, but that doesn't change the fact that (almost all of the time) there will be pain.

Bite me. Reread what I wrote. I agreed with your point, but I made another.

But, yes, in the end, not hypothetical at all, my decision trumps allayall's. Even if I am hale, healthy and 32 years old. If you believe otherwise, you believe in slavery. Me to you, or whoever claims to suffer enough pain if I off myself.

I agree. The argument over whether red wine is better than white is just like the argument over whether crafted Porters from whatever country are better than Bud or Pabst.

I like a few particular wines, like a Montepulciano from Castello Banfi ( I can't pay more than $75 for a bottle, sorry, I just can't do it) or a really good chardonnay. But, I usually just say "red."

I miss Penske.

Watching a Titanic documentary. Of course I would want to be on a lifeboat, and every male sock here would do the same. But how would one increase the chance of passing as a woman, or a child? Should I take time to shave my legs? I need a dress, sure, but can I pull it off with a hat or must I find a wig below deck somewhere? Some of you who've met me, do I need to alter the body too?

[SEXIST COMMENT ALERT] I think you chatter frequently enough about nothing to potentially pass as a female, but you would be better off trying to blind the other passengers and talk in falsetto than attempt to alter your appearance.

You're welcome.
