oh plf can find satisfaction alright. he was explaining the other day that maybe he finds it a little too quickly, but if he's cool with that, and if his lady friends are cool with it then i am not going to tease him.

Okay, now this has got to be a sock, right? This is a joke by TM, Penske, right? Bueller? Bueller?

Frankly, I'm about as confused reading this board as I was watching Matrix Reloaded.

Actually, its all rather obvious if you know what to look for. NTTAWWT.

Carry on.

Okay, time for a poll. This one is a little bit outable, depending on how much personal info you share with coworkers. But feel free to make your answer as generic as possible while still being interesting to avoid the problem.

I've been talking offline to another poster about marriage. I think we both agree that you can't find the person you want to spend the rest of your life with. When you're happy with yourself and at peace, it just happens. You have a better chance when you're not looking. When you're looking, you're trying to fit a person into a preconceived notion of what you think you want or need. When you're just happy being you, you have no such restrictions.

So, how did you meet your SO (if you're not currently in a relationship, use the best relationship you've been in or whoever broke your heart)? What was it about them that made you attracted to them? For married people, how and when did you know they were the one?

Edited to fix poll so that it applies to everyone.

Straying a bit outside the guidelines, I don't think there is "the person." In fact, I think many people make themselves less happy searching for "the person." But I would agree that one is better off being happy with oneself and finding someone with whom they a comfortable and happy. If you have comfortable and happy, you really shouldn't be concerned with whether that person is "the one."

I'd like to be Jil Sander, but I'm much too North Face.

For the fashionable-inept, who is Jil Sander, other than someone over whom I had a SERIOUS crush in college??

Well help a brother out. I'm too dense to recgonize a real poster from a sock. They usually are equally offensive. I seek training.

Jewish mom actually warn their kids "If you marry a gentile, when they get mad at you they'll still call you a kike!". so you know it a flash point.

In the last 11 years, my wife has been made at me plenty and has called me lots of names (usually asshole), she hasn't yet called me a kike. Then again, she also doesn't use ethnic slurs.

I posted to rip into Leagl (gently and lovingly) about the T3 Non-Spoiler/Spoiler post, but someone else beat me to it by a mile (sucks to be on the west side sometimes). Sorry.

Huh. I would have said the closer analogies were puertorican dice and The Targreed Incident.

To each em's own, I guess.

Except that no racial slurs were used in either incident and the latter didnt even involve race at all. But arent you the guy who thinks that TALKING about men who date exclusively asian chicks dehumanizes asians (as opposed to BEING the man who just dates asian chicks) or somethign? I dont think we are on the same side of the PC scale.

And speaking of prejudice, I watched a little of the Queer Eye for the Straight Guy show. Salon did a story yesterday on how all the middle americans are going to think all gay guys are Jacks. I think this is right on. This show is all about the one dimensional funny hysterical gay guy. I was slightly put off by that (which may be due to the fact that I spend a lot of time with screaming queens lately). I would also say that five Jacks is about four Jacks too many for an hour long tv show. It approaches satire. I wonder what gay men think about this show.

well if you are Jewish with gentile wife, did your mom "warn you?"
I think most people our generation would find the slur more of a historic curiosity, other than if it comes from spouse once again echoing your mom's voice through your poor battered brain. (yet to hear it in my marriage either)

Why is it that each time you post about Judaism and about how Jewish people "act," it seems that you believe that there is some kind of handbook issued and followed?

Anyway, looks like I'm going to be in Texas on business the week of July 28th. If any of you fashionistas in the Dallas/FW area want to get together for drinks/dinner, shoot me a PM.
