On the objective tip, this is Unfair. It is subject to Shifter's verification.

I still hold out hope....
 

Considering you are here all day, every day, it sure would seem so, TM.

Um, not unattractive is a lower standard than pretty. All pretty people are not unattractive, but not all people who are not unattractive are pretty.

Do I need to email you a Venn diagram?

Because you all have such good taste.
 

For your information, the post you are so upset about has no enjoyment in it whatsoever. In fact, to make sure it didn't come off as anything but straightforward and not mean, I sent it to someone else (who everyone on this board respects as fair minded) before posting it. She gave me some suggestions, all of which I took, to soften the language. Although I knew you wouldn't like the review, I did not want you to be overly upset with the post. But I did not want to be dishonest about my opinion either. I think most people on this board (all smarter than you) saw that.

But, as you may have guessed, I no longer care whether your feelings get hurt. But I'm glad to have a new paigow to play with.

I suggest you meet in Grand Central, just so you can be sure.

IIRC, you were late when we met.

We pause from the ppnyc show for this brief public service announcement
 

Probably so.

Am I beautiful? Or merely pretty?

ETA it has been THREE WHOLE MINUTES and no one has responded. This is like pulling teeth.

Because you all have such good taste.
 

I really admire your spirit.

Pretty can change to "fairly hot" based on very small, subtle changes in the makeup, etc...

Beautiful is kind of an old fart's word. I think the chick from Gone With the Wind when I hear it. It's a dead archetype, used almost exclsuively by old people to describe "classically" attractive people whose looks and image deviate from the hypersexualized standard of beauty today.

The strangest are those people who are just a shade from really hot, but the one defect they have is so important it knocks them from hot down to barely not unattractive. I knew a girl in law school who had all the classic elements of a reall European runway hottie (thin, sinewy, high Italian cheekbones). But she had a neck too long and a hockey player's nose. Queered the whole deal.

OK, but the point here is, am I smoking hot, merely hot, or just pretty?

We pause from the ppnyc show for this brief public service announcement
 

I never fucking met you. How the hell should I know?

What do you think of my new gutters?

We pause from the ppnyc show for this brief public service announcement
 

The categories are actually smoking hot, less hot [still being hot], and merely pretty.

We pause from the ppnyc show for this brief public service announcement
 

And no one has even described me??????? Christ. What the fuck do you all talk about? How fast the grass grew last summer?

I think it's great that you have new gutters, and you seem picky, and your wife sounds picky, so I'm guessing they look pretty good. If they don't now, they will when you get done with the contractor.

HOld on, wait just one minute there. Do you mean to say that when FB people meet IRL, they talk about other FB people they have met IRL?

I think I'm going to vomit.

I'll wait until you leave to tell other folks what you look like.

Yes, that is the ticket. The number of beers I have had has nothing to do with it.

FWIW, I once met a girl at a rock club on a night when I went out by myself. Back in the day. She was tall, maybe 5'11", blonde, statuesque and willing. Her tits were an instant focal point. After a few too many, we were locked in an embrace in the back of the club in a less public area -- she with her shirt mostly off playing pretend wet nurse to pony.

The next day we met up to do some day stuff with some friends of mine who basically gave a critique that made TM's grade of PP seem like an A+. They basically, and correctly called her fat and not attractive. They were correctly able to guage that I indeed had been doing shots in addition to beer. I never called her back even though she had a wealthy daddy and a place on CPW. She didn't make the cut.

Fast forward to about a year later. She shows up unanounced at a gig that I was doing (with wife-to-be and -to-be-ex girlfriend both carefully managed and in attendence and she

looked


fucking


hot!

I mean playboy hot. Mostly weight loss but some other stuff, can't remember what.

She basically showed up to show me what I was missing and that I was a dick.

And I am still not a Labrador retriever.

She should have thanked you. If you hadn't been a dick, she wouldn;t have lost the weight and gotten herself smoking hot.

I still hold out hope....
 

What can I say? I hate my job.

But I appreciate the fact that you're keeping such close notes of what I'm doing. I hope it doesn't get in the way of the exciting life you're leading.

Gettin' my Str8 on
 

Last night I went to the Idlewild post-premiere party (didn't have enough J.U. Ice to get into the actual screening as I am not a charismatic, big time, New York heavy hitter) and I saw Paula Patton. She is beautiful. Drop dead gorgeous. She has breasts, Weed, and they looked great in her bright yellow dress.

I also saw Macy Gray, who is, not pretty.

Funny. I distinctly recall you having a head.

Gettin' my Str8 on
 

Macy Gray is a man.

Idlewild's gotten some lackluster reviews, but most of them are in the vein of "they were undisputed geniuses who did some of the best hip hop/funk reocrds in history, but this one is not as good."

Why not just say "as usual, this is a damn good record, but maybe not as good as the last one. YMMV."

Which is less healthy, a sesame-seed bagel toasted with a generous amount of regular cream cheese, or an apple fritter?

Pretty close but she was hotter when she was hot and gnarlier when she was gnarly.

Appropriately working on an opposition to a motion to reargue wondering, why oh why?

Actual Fashion-Related Question
 

I recently went on a clothes-shopping spree (one that appears to be continuing, NTTAWWT). While I was arranging to get some of the clothes altered, the salesguy asked if I wanted to have "functional buttonholes" sewn into the sleeves of my sportcoats. He then showed me how the buttons at the bottom of his sleeves were not merely decorative, but could be opened and closed.

WTF? What is the purpose of this? They look stupid if opened, and I can't think of any practical purpose to having a little half-inch opening at the bottom of your coat-sleeves. This did not seem worth paying another fifty bucks, per jacket, on top of what was already a seriously out-of-control purchase.

Now I'm worried. Did I miss out on a new trend? Was there some benefit that I failed to understand? Should I have gotten the functional button-holes?

On the bright side, I was wearing one of the new coats this morning and a really hot blond totally smiled and checked me out as I was leaving the gym.

I still hold out hope....
 

Oh! I forgot to tell this one to y'all. I told TM about a paralegal I work with that likes to say shocking things to me. He's a funny dude. So I asked him what he was doing over the weekend. And he responded he's going to the Hamptons and it is his "boy's" birthday and maybe he was going to get some hookers. So TM suggested that since I like expensive purses so much I should volunteer!!!!!!

Yup.

Alrighty then.

so let's see.

you're late. you stared at my tits and started arguing with me right accusing me that I'm lying about the size, you bring up rape right there and then, suggest I'm a whore, and then tell me I need to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth

Believe you me, asshole I can handle the truth

and not in a Paigow wack job kinda way

In that I came out, unscathed in dealing with an asshole and only got a fucking free glass of wine out of the deal. I should get a muthafucking t shirt. I survived asshole and won.
