I just caught this. You really need to be smacked upside the head. And not just because "none" is singular (hi, Coltrane, you stud).

Where and what was the tattoo? I think the tattoo placement thing is an important factor of gaydar. Tattoo on man between thigh and navel, including lower back = gay. Oder?

See, that's what you're not getting. You say it's fun to shoot your mouth off and defend what you've said but then suggest that there's something wrong with people wanting to "beat you up" for what you've said. Should I pick on your looks instead? You want to be challenged, but you dismiss those who like to challenge you? Talk about hypocrisy.

I don't have a "preconceived" notion about you. My notions about you have been formed by what you have posted, and quite naturally that effects how I perceive you. That's a basic facet of human intelligence.

I don't want to think you are a misogynist. I think your posts come across as misogynistic. When you reduce a woman to her parts -- great tits and stomach, haggard face without caked on makeup -- you don't seem like a man who loves women. Haggard is a really nasty, loaded thing to say about a woman, and given how smart you think you are, you should know that.

Further, when you say there's an "appropriate line" for women in the workplace, you imply that there are different appropriate lines for women and men. We both know that there aren't. The line is between aggressive and abusive. The difference is that women are often perceived as having crossed that line earlier than men are -- by both men and women. As a result, they have to be more careful about it because they won't get the same results men would get.

I don't think it's unfair to criticize a woman who wants to succeed in business for failing to recognize that point. Your point was that the woman on the Apprentice was so far over the line that there could be no reasonable argument that people were judging her more harshly because she is a woman. That's a valid point. But don't be such a fucking pussy about it -- just call her a bitch and don't try to go all Alan Alda on our asses.

And the mere fact that you have lamented sexism on the Apprentice doesn't mean that you don't have sexist attitudes. It's about as convincing as "How about that Denzel Washington? Great actor."

Finally, don't use impact as a fucking verb.

Damn, mmmmm. You just got impacted.

I would think you'd have direct information about at least one of us.

As a matter of fact, you do.

(You also come across, for all the grief I give you about drooling, as someone who loves women.)

Oddly enough, I probably drool more on this board than in real life. Hot women are a dime a dozen. But hot, smart and funny women are hard to come by. Or on.

I thought he was 33. Yes, a 5 year deal for a catcher in his 30's is insane especially a deal with a no trade clause. He's a decent hitter, but not a DH kind of hitter. Not now and defintely not 2 or 3 years from now (unless he starts working out with Barry Bonds' trainer). Tek is a team leader and with all the new pitchers they've signed in the past few weeks they need him.

Scott Boras will probably screw this up more than the Red Sox. Does he really think that ANY team will sign Varitek to a big number 5 year deal??

I find it quite odd that some top Sox players (Varitek) don't seem anxious to resign to a championship team, that others ran like rats from a ship (Pedro, Lowe, Kapler) and that the only pitchers that [so far] found the team attractive were Boomer and Halama.

One of the best things about being a woman -- something that makes the oppression we suffer in this patriarchal society bearable -- is that for us, every day is Breasticle Day.
