True story:

I once had an assistant that did something highly unethical (think along the lines forged a client document, falsified billing statement, refused to flush the toilet in the staff bathroom etc etc.).

He was fired shortly thereafter.

no no no no. The secret with any workout is to not think of the overall course, just focus on the next rep, and complete that with perfect technique, then focus on the next rep, and complete that with perfect technique.........before you know it you'll be back home buying some trannie a drink at a neighborhood restaurant. Cheers!

taking a women to drink at your friend's winery to convince her to have sex with you is different from paying her to have sex with you how?

You asked - I am forty. I don't go to strip clubs that much, mainly because it so expensive, and they suck where I live. In LA I used to date a aspring actress/model who used to like to go to Crazy Girls. We went there many times and became regulars. With her I never hit on the girls, but did get to know one during that time that I dated for a while after the other one moved on. But I didn't count that one.

On going to clubs with the intent on hitting on them, I have probably done that twenty to twenty times (mostly on trips to Vegas). Five or six times I got working phone numbers, but that usually ended badly. Twice I have left with one at closing.

Not a great record, but probably better than most.

The woman in question had not had sex with three different men a day for god knows how many years. Who wants a car everyone else can drive (and probably has)?

I have never been quite sure what subjects fly here, but here goes.

I am too lazy to go the Gym, so I workout at home, but I am pretty good about staying with it. I used to do two sets of fifty pushups. I decided to push up my whole work out routine, which included moving from fifty push ups to one hundred push ups.

I was able to double all my other routines, but I can't get past seventy push ups. I have been stuck there for three weeks now. I just get to around seventy and can't do any more.

Anyone know what is going on?
Same thing happened to me. You get into muscle failure. Try breaking it into 2 sets of fifty, and alter the position of your hands for the second set. I try to position my hands at shoulder width for the first set, and then do "diamond" pushups the second set.

Mad TV is not funny. That sketch was a ripoff of an SNL one about critics fawning over The Sopranos.

Oh, and Margaret Cho is apparently thinner now. She started working out. That's probably a good thing, since she hasn't been funny since 1996.

If you count the frivolous motions and counterclaims, refusals to comply with discovery because I was lazy (so I just genrally objected to everything), unnecessary travel time, billing for what Peter in "Office Space" called "zoning out" ... Shit, I'm well, well into 6 figures.

Not to beat a dead horse, but I was being sarcastic. I'm prettier than her.

One of the last vetiges of annoyance I have about this whole debacle is not that I was rated chubby or not attractive but that TM is a punk and a bully and tried to accuse me of lying or being a wack job about who pays attention to me, who flirts and who is nice to me. My experiences are just that, mine and I don't embellish.

maybe it works out in $$$, but as Spanky points out the wife wouldn't have had sex with three other guys that day, I mean excluding for Penske's mom of course.

If you are coming to Minnesota, you've got to read a Minnesota author.

I recently discovered a mystery series written by P.J. Tracy, a mother-daughter team who live in LA & MN. The first book is called "Monkeewrench." I like them because there is more than one main character and the writers have given them quite distinctive (though not particularly Minnesotan) personalities.

John Sandford is a more established crime-thriller writer. His first book, if you haven't read it, is "Rules of Prey."

Lorna Landvik writes very Minnesotan books, but they are more chick books.

Out of Minnesota, RT (I think) got me hooked on Jasper Fforde's books.

But maybe you should read "How to Talk Minnesotan" so you can understand us.
Ooooh! I just read that book (Monkeewrench). Never read that type of book - sort of accidentally lifted it from a salon (since returned) - but I liked it.

They seem to me to be trying for eye contact. I assume it is for the inverse reason Spanky went for it - they know that if they look a patron in the eye, they're more likely to make the (likely a) guy feel they really like him so he'll give more money. That said, it seems kind of rude *never* to look them in the eye.

Are you a guy? I always assumed you were a chick.
