New Fashion Board 10-3-2003 - 11-7-2003

Just saw a girl wearing the Burberry plaid boots. I tried to vomit on them but only managed dry heaves. I know nothing about women's fashion but I know I hate that plaid. Walking advertisement. Why don't they just bust out their Coca-Cola and Pepsi shirts from the late '80s.

Speaking of the '80s, I Love 1985 brought up Mr. Belvedere...it's still FUNNY! For different reasons of course. High comedy. Who knew this would be the show that stood the test of time? That Bob Ueuker (sp?).

While I was over at Coltraine's last night trying out my new Jenna video, we took a break and we watched this 80's show. Questions

1) How old is this Nick Lachey that he has fond memories of the mid 80s?
2) Who is Craig Ferguson?
3) Why is Mandy MOore, who was probably 3 in 1985 giving commentary?
4) Why do most of the guys commentating on this show still have that 80s eurofag look so popular in high school?

Bien sûr.

Here in Paris, porno-chic has gone mainstream."

I picture the Daintiest Petunia as a nubile young gaulois smoking Bordeaux swilling french lass. I miss her wit and inner beauty but we will always have Paris.

I hate to be the one to say this, but I tried to stop myself and I just can't. I apparently have no self control today.

I friggin' hate those things. I suggest sending a real christmas card with a personal message in it rather than an ostensibly humorous pic of the kiddies with a catch phrase.

Thank you. All advice is good. There is an inner part to the card and we often put a personal note there. Overall, I think they are well-received, and certainly more personal than the card with the page long generic summary of the year's news from the family. I also think our cards are more personal than say a Hallmark reindeer, but of course that is a personal taste matter.

Holy shit, dude. [referring to TM's post on ice wine]

Thurgreed was simply pointing out that Penske's knowledgable and off-the-cuff discourse on ice wines was really just a cut-and-paste of the first paragraph of the second hit you get when you Google "ice wine." He just quoted more of the site than Penske did. For the life of me, I have no idea why I am bothering to explain this. I wonder if I am secretly angry at Penske.

1. 28. I have friends who were frat brothers of his. They all say he was/is a pretty decent guy.

2. Dunno. At first I thought it was Gabriel Byrne.
3. Dunno
4. Describe the look.

This is not a purely guy phenomenon.

Actually, fwiw, fyi, for the record, I like to shop for groceries. If I had my druthers I would go to the market every day and buy what I wanted to eat for the next day.

OTOH, I dislike mingling with the common people who always seem to be shopping at these stores at the same time as I.

I expect my bill to be somewhere around $50 (mainly because I can only buy what will fit in a basket, because carts are way too big of a commitment). Beyond that, no idea.

Have you guessed yet that I eat out a lot?

Wow. $50. I rarely spend less than $50. Four or five times a week. Not counting wine. Or ice wine.

Weren't they talking about Inspector Gadget?

Issue: sexual kinks
QUestion: At what point does sexual behavior that is *different* become a dealkiller. I dont mean banging in front of a DVD of NAMBLA's greatest hits. I am talking something more subtle, not quite so far off the beaten (no pun) path but yet it is something you dont like and it distracts you from the goodness all around? Can you name any such behavior and tell the class whether you walked as a result, got the paramour to change em's ways (and how), or if you just put up with it. And if its the latter, did you ever come again.

I will answer this poll if someone else answers first since my polls, like Mary RIchards' dinner parties, usually fall flat.

A propos of, well, Penske, your Michigander ex-girlfriend Kelly survived another week. Or so I heard.

Why don't you just identify the sexual kink your current lover has, and let the board vote weird/not weird?

Penske

Honey. I love you to death, and I don't mean to hurt you or make you feel bad. But please cut this acronym shit out. I know you do it to point out how annoyig it is, but the point is taken. There are times when it is appropriate to mock it but you do it excessively. I say this bc I care about you and find that this detracts from your posts.


You can take this for what its worth. I know I probably do a milliioin annoying things too. But I just could not keep this to myself anymore.

Maybe you are projecting because Ice Wine, which I invented, has eclipsed your precious pissy sours as the drink of choice amongst the hipster GA jet set. Too bad so sad. Go back to the retirement home and bask in the faded glory of your yellowed cache of saved posts from the old usenet newsgroup boards.

2) Who is Craig Ferguson?

Plays Mr. Wick, the misogynistic, alcoholic, cokehead boss on The Drew Carey Show...

We heartlanders don't claim Madison, e/o. Talk about your last remaining bastions of communism. Weird place.

Some of us do. Makes Austin look like Salt Lake City sometimes. Of course there is nothing glorious about 2 naked Wisconsin lawyers, although their reason should be enough to let them off without any fine (beating Ohio State).
