It is very enjoyable and fulfilling to kayak.

Assuming, of course, you do other things too.

Confidential to Hank
 

I just try and give ncs a rough time. I think she likes that kind of thing. It's got to to work better than Penske's suck up approach.

Agreed. I would work out and get a great golf teacher to build my skills in an effort to make the senior tour. And if I never got that good, no worries. I'd still be playing golf all the time.

Crunch All You Want
 

Whiffing Burger here, but I think net carbs are something like wind chill factor. Eight actual grams of carbohydrates, minus two grams that are "good" carbs, equals six net (grams of) carbs. The people at Atkins say it's kosher to ignore certain types of carbs that they want you to ingest, like, for instance, fiber.

(Doing my part to further the cause of bowel regularity worldwide.)

Friendship
 

So you're saying that you have no contact with any childhood friends at all? 2 of my closest friends I met in 3rd grade.

I was the one who was saying this, and I was specifically saying it to Not Me, although I suppose it applies equally to you.

Kayaking is extremely relaxing, and is a great upper body workout. For lake kayaking, you have the serenity of gliding just above the surface of the water. Your paddle strokes evenly timed in a zen-like repetition. Or you can go kayaking in the sea or larger lakes, like Superior. Explore nature, go on kayaking "trails" up and down the coast, camping and getting away from it all. Paddling through the swells as the sun begins to burn off the early morning fog. I defy you to experience this and not be moved. Or, you can river kayak. Become proficient and perhaps someday experience the thrill of a first descent. Or, if even this is not enough of an adrenaline rush for you, you can run waterfalls, with terrifying freefalls into the maelstrom of water below. Kayaking has something for everyone!

Or Max Weber, for that matter.

Friendship
 

No, we moved a lot, so I lost contact with people.

I have one good friend from high school to whom I speak from time to time. That's about it.

So, you're saying any food co can just put what they want on their nutriotional labels? "The big mac, now with only 7 calories.*" (because the other 593 are good calories that you need to live on).

You're full of it. If you ever met a guy who wasn't intimidated by your (alleged) beauty, wit, breasts and brains, no matter how smart you are, he would think he was smarter. And if he didn't add up in some areas, he'd be okay with it because he'd beat you in other (suddenly more important) areas.

How the fuck did this discussion become about me and my alleged beauty, wit, breasts and brains?

One sounds like an English 101 TA when one overuses the word "one" in one's posts.

Pathetic Requet for Marital Advice
 

You wound me. My socks have no "stench." Uh, do they?

Alas, everyone will agree that you are mostly correct* about the fact that they tend not to stay secret for too long. Well, with one or two exceptions, and I am sure that one of these days I'll goof on the log-in of my sidd finch sock.

That being said, I will ask E/O to redraft my next potentially embarrassing anonymous inquiry to remove all hints of the scent of Parfum de Not Bob.

*Ha-ha-ha, I kill me. What I initially wrote here was so close to this classic line that I decided to use it instead.
