It would bug the crap out of me, if it were on me, but I probably wouldn't notice on another person unless the watch were really obvious and flashy.

(And sorry all about the Mojito thing - I've been in and out and didn't see it pop up before).

I would not even notice that. But then I've been known to carry a black purse with brown shoes. So don't listen to me if you are paranoid about that sort of thing.

I think this is the single-most intelligent thing you've ever said; it may, in fact, be the single-most intelligent thing anybody has ever said, but I'm unsure of how to qualify that statement, because I keep forgetting the formulation of "most people will agree that you're mainly correct" or however that goes.

Brava.

Shouldn't that be "single most intelligent"? Or have I just never, ever seen it correct?

If you're polished with big boobs, watch out.

Alternatively, if you've got big boobs, you can polish me.

That's not guts; it's Ultimate.

While Ultimate can fairly be called hippie/crunchy/effete (what with its no referee/spirit of the game ethos), guts is nothing if not muy muy macho.

Guts: Two teams of five, 10 yards apart, spaced apart at arms-length. Guy on team A takes a running start from behind his line, and wings the disc as hard as he can at the other team. I forget if you get a point for a catch, or a point if you cause the other team to miss a fair (not too high, not in the ground) throw, but either way, it's a very very very difficult and painful game to play.

Whereas it may be the single-most intelligent thing she's ever said, it most assuredly is not the single-most intelligent thing she's ever meant. Whether qualified or unqualified or whether mainly or just slightly correct. And ditto. NTTAWWT.

I think you might be surprised- mammary glands are important but not the whole thing- let's take an example from animal husbandry:

http://66.102.7.104/search?q=cache:t...ore+card&hl=en

Quote:

Dairy Cow Evaluation Score Card

There are five major classification traits on which a classifier bases a cow's score. Each trait is broken down into body parts to be looked at and ranked.

1) Frame - 15% 15 points

Rump, Stature, and Front End receive primary consideration when evaluating Frame.

2) Dairy Character - 20% 20 points

3) Body Capacity - 10% 10 points


4) Feet and Legs - 15% 15 points

5) Udder - 40% 40 points

The udder traits are the most heavily weighted. Major consideration is given to the traits that contribute to high milk yield and a long productive life. Listed in priority order, the descriptions of the traits to be considered are as follows:

Udder Depth - moderate depth relative to the hock with adequate capacity and clearance. Consideration is given to lactation number and age.

Teat Placement - squarely placed under each quarter, plumb and properly spaced from side and rear views.

Read Udder - wide and high, firmly attached with uniform width from top to bottom and slightly rounded to udder floor.

Udder Cleft - evidence of a strong suspensory ligament indicated by adequately defined halving.

Fore Udder - firmly attached with moderate length and ample capacity.

Teats - cylindrical shape and uniform size with medium length and diameter.

Udder Balance and Texture - should exhibit an udder floor that is level as viewed from the side. Quarters should be evenly balanced; soft, pliable and well collapsed after milking. _________________

Yeah, I liked it. Was it the best episode ever? Definitely not. The "sad" part was leaving that apartment, I guess -- the home base of operations lo these many years. Of course it was pat; it's hard not to be, I guess. They gave the fans a happy ending (no, not that kind of happy ending you pervs!), and it was fine.

I guess I'd have to say the best sitcom finale was Mary Tyler Moore -- that was pretty freakin' funny (I know I automatically qualify as a geriatric for even admitting I was alive when that finale aired, but there you have it.)

The twins story line - meh. And Phoebe, no closure, nothing for Phoebes. So out of 10 it gets a 5 for season enders. Mainly because 2 years of hype was hard to live up to. Newhart ender - the best. Pulling in the Dallas ridiculous dream sequence was great.
I don't remember the Newhart ender. I do remember that Newhart was on the same night as Mary Tyler Moore (or are you talking about the Vermont-based Newhart show?)

Since you're old and all that, the Dick Van Dyke show is having a show this Tuesday. It's not your typical retrospective where they all sit around and talk about how the show was, but it's an actual story line. Alan Brady wants Rob Petrie and Sally to write his eulogy. MTM of course is there.

Vermont-based. He woke up in bed with Maryanne Pleshette (spelling wrong I'm sure) and the entire new series was just a dream. Great surprise ending.

Yes, I realize these completely contradict the essay against mind-fuck movies. However, these two endings really accomplished something without making the viewer complain that everything before the mind-fuck was a waste of time.

Some Observations
 
A couple of quick observations that don't really relate to anything and are probably only amusing to me:

1. The proliferation of "not" nicks - the end of creativity in sock naming?

I am troubled by the recent proliferation of names containing the word "not." Using my super-power administrator tools, I have discovered no less than 20 monikers containing the word "not." Some of the more prolific posters with such names include:

- Not Bob
- Not Flinty
- Not Me
- notcasesensitive
- NotFromHere
- not penske

In my mind Not Bob is the only person with a legit claim that he was being creative when he used "not" in his name (well, aside from the original not - not_ivy, but she doesn't post anymore). So, Not Bob is grandfathered in. As for the rest of you, my vote is for "not" creative.

This trend reminds me of the overuse of the phrase "got ______?" Hmmm.... got and not. Is this a coincidence? Or, are all three letter words ending in _ot destined to be overused? What's next? Hot?

2. I find Hank's chameleon of an avatar highly amusing. The amount of time you must spend searching for pictures to photochop that face onto is mind-boggling. I assume you've gotten very good at using layers in photoshop. Or are you using something else? Anyway, keep it up.

That's all I have for now.

Not that I ever claimed to have a clever name but... I don't think you'd like me if I was Case Sensitive (though dtb might). In any event, it was just a quick attempt to differentiate myself from you litigator types. I care if you don't like it. Right.
