Never seen that, though I once saw a cheese-eating Republican flab daddy in a utilikilt roaming free on the streets of old New York. And stop trying to inject CDs into this discussion. I find it offensive.

Why the hate? What self-loathing are you projecting onto the esteemed and beloved Penske? Sad. Pathetic. Sadly pathetic.

The ebay story (let me have it because I'm more deserving, even if I can't win the auction) reminds me of my recent experience with freecycling (visit http://freecycle.org/ to see if there's a chapter in your city). Apparently some people who wanted to get rid of stuff were being picky about wanting to make sure the recipient was truly "deserving"; then, there were people who thought they were more "deserving" who wanted to jump to the head of the line. Oy! I just gave priority to those who responded first.

One woman who wanted one of my items sent really strange e-mails with all the text in the subject header, and sob stories about not having a car and not knowing if she'd be able to borrow one to come pick up the item. I think she was hoping I'd offer to drive it over to her. Ha! I'm already giving the damn thing away!

Anyway, aside from the weirdos, I would highly recommend freecycling as a way of getting rid of stuff that's not high on charities' want lists. I got rid of a non-working lawnmower and an old thermal-paper fax machine, among other things.

Can I freecycle about 30 years worth of weeds in my garden?

No, but you can compost them. If you were in Stumptown, you could put noxious weeds (ones you don't want in your own compost pile) and other yard debris out to the curb alongside your garbage every other week, and Metro would compost it for you (making sure it gets hot enough to kill all weed seeds, etc.).

I don't know this Penske. Penske's no friend of mine. But you, sir, are clearly not Penske material.

Namaste.

Speaking of cycling and kilts, I was in a mountain bike race on Saturday, and I was going at my usual glacial pace when a young gentleman wearing a plaid kilt passed me. I rode with him for a bit and told him that I was honored to have been passed by a man in a skirt. He called back, "And on a singlespeed." So I caught up and passed him.

Then my bike broke.

That is sooooo hot. Assuming it is a metaphor. Or methaphor.

Namaste indeed.

Kan I get a witness?

... passive aggressiveness and tendency to be in other people's business.... The problem with you is, you don't know how to look at a question or statement with any degree of common sense.

You sweet talker.

You either answer in a way that is too literal (i.e., "I don't know any women who have no friends") or you change the meaning of the question to something that makes no sense and then answer it (i.e., "I'm having a harder time coming up with a hot woman who had almost no women friends, bitchy or not.").

Actually, I was the one who asked the original question based on the bitchy chick on The Bachelor who said she had no women friends and blamed it on the jealousy of other women. You changed it into a question about whether hot women, have a presumption of bitchiness or have extra obstacles in making women friends. I didn't need you to tell me that. What I did want to know is whether or not I am wrong in my belief that most women will (eventually, even if not on first impression) judge a woman on who she is and how she acts rather than how she looks.

The problem with you is that you have a tendency to read what you think I am saying and not what I actually wrote.

BTW, sometimes I'm passive and sometimes I'm aggressive, but I'm definitely not passive aggressive.

Not according to Hugh Heifer. The udder is the most cud-dly part, particularly when freed from the brah, man, and swinging low.

No, no, no, no, never swinging low. That is so, well, yuck!

I think that older sisters should be told to go to hell far more often than they actually are.

Hey now, stop that!! My younger sister has more effective ways to deal with me. She'll say something that makes what I'm saying/doing look so completely rEdiculous that I have to laugh and agree with her.

Which makes her different from the posters on this board, how?

Flower seems pretty literal, not a metaphor guy. I think for flower this is closer to a Penthouse Forum story. You know, Fringe, sometimes a big strapping guy in a kilt is just a big strapping guy in a kilt.

Does a utilikilt have cargo pockets? It would be handy not to have to sport that black purse when bekilted. I'm thinking like this one, which has two (2) pockets:

That would look really nice on you. What do you pla to put in the pockets? The underpants you removed when changing from your work clothes into the kilt?
