Way to kiss up to teacher hankie-pankie, but your crude attempts to get some paigow pussy remain denied.

TALK TO HER HAND (AND THEN SHUTTHEFUCKUP)!!!

question re practical ways to dump someone

Anon because I really am not looking for a way to dump my SO/spouse, and if I posted as myself, all of the practical advice that the FB is known for would be lost in the "hey, now you can date coltrane/gwink/wonk!" comments.

My 20 year old niece has been dating this guy for a while, but she thinks that things are too serious, and wants to break it off. She's tried to suggest to her slightly older boyfriend that they take a break, and he just freaks out. "How can you do this? You just want to hurt me," blah blah blah. His school is about 4 or 5 hours from hers, and they see each other most weekends.

She told me that she likes him, that she doesn't want to hurt him, that maybe he's the one, but that she feels like she is too young to be this serious. She asked me for advice on how to break it off. I told her that when I was her age, I used to simply sleep with my boyfriend's/girlfriend's roommate, and arrange to be "caught." She thought I was joking.

Any advice?
Is there a hotter phrase in the english language than "20 year old niece?"

Maybe I just ask this because a partner at my old firm had a niece who spent her 20th summer working at the firm. Un-Real.

Was it really his niece, or was she his "niece"?

Niece is nice.

so you're saying paigow is like a broken disillusioned middle-aged teacher from a second rate college, and while she does teach in a ghetto school, she hates the kids that go there, and the kids can tell?

Even if true- she is still a teacher.

Affiancing on a Glacier

Seal and Heidi Klum newly engaged, in British Columbia. Klum reporting on her website, "We affianced on a glacier in Whistler (Canada)."

What SHE said.

Hmmmmn....


Not a bad fucking catch for a woman who met her future hubby whilst (hi Brit!) six months preggers with the kid of some EYEtalian dude (named Flavio of all things) who dumped her.

Given that he's a straight man, maybe he doesn't use the staff.

Anyone who uses "affiance" as a verb deserved to be spanked.

I'll volunteer.

She's looked like 100 miles of bad road for years now. I'd say the downfall started shortly after True Romance.

Nic Cage is an ape. I liked him in Las Vegas, but I could play that role given enough gin. That motherfucker owes Uncle Francis big time. And Sophia owes daddy big time. I might be alone here, but I thought Lost in Translation was almost as boring as Garden State. In fact, now that I think about it, Braf should be sued for plagiarizing Coppola's script. Garden State was basically LIT, Jersey-style.

When did "View listless 20-something (or middle aged man) ponder navel and agonize over pointlessness of life" become a boilerplate script? I want to see Sideways because I think Giamatti is great, and the guy from Wings is funny, but I'm scared that it will be a buddy flick version of Garden State/LIT set in wine country.

...And nothing is more boring than Sonoma/Napa. You tour, you sip, you walk around. There's some pretty houses to look at, lots of dirt and fields of grapes. It can be done in about four hours. Why must I be forced to go there for an entire day every time I visit SF? Why?

Get a car and driver next time, and you won't notice the time.

I just don't see Sandra Oh in that role- the only thing I've seen her in was Arliss, and while I liked her, she wasn't sexy there.

  • 'I wanted to try this new drink. That's all we do, isn't it - look at things and try new drinks?'

    'I guess so.'

    The girl looked across at the hills.

    'They're lovely hills,' she said. 'They don't really look like white elephants. I just meant the coloring of their skin through the trees.'

    'Should we have another drink?'

    'All right.'

I dunno about you, but I go for the orgasmic gnocchi at that little Italian restaurant on the main road in St. Helena. And the wine. And the views.

Once, I went to retrieve a drunk relative from a wedding, but that was an unusual trip.
