No need for spoiler. I don't watch it regularly.

Not all muffs have dark coarse brilloey hair (even in the unwaxed, untended state)

I use Aveda shampoo and conditioner on my neatly trimmed muff puff. This leaves it soft and silky.

Clearly you did not read my entire post

First, gross.

Second, Suave is where it's at. But only for head hair. There shouldn't be enough elsewhere on a woman's body to require shampoo or conditioner.

Third, you gross me out.

And yet you lust after swarthy tennis players of Greek descent. Odd that.

Why does a contractor bother to make an appointment to give you an estimate and then not show up? And not even call?

Do they think they will still get the business? Are they so fucking busy that they don't need the work? What the fuck?

I would like to add to my list of professions that I fucking hate, contractors. Fucking wasting my morning from 8 until 12. Fuckers.

Funny you should bring this up. Mr. Bunny is a builder and I often emphasize to him the need to call people back. I tell him that I'm going to start a contractor business and have crappy work, but be very responsive to customers and will get business for no other reason than being on time and responsive to phone calls. My constant tirades on why contractors have a bad reputation has encouraged him to spread the word and he actively encourages all the contractors he knows to (1) call people back on time; and (2) show up on time. This may not be as noble a battle as DTB's ebay war, but I do what I can.

Are you serious?

I love how you declare yourself the big man around here on every disagreement you have.

When you don't get your way or someone does something you don't like, you bitch and moan about it ad nauseum until the other person gets sick of you and gives up. At which time you declare yourself the winner of your virtual pissing match if you already haven't.

You're funny dude.

Sorry, dude.

I love it. I express the same complaint as 300 other people on this board (specifically, stop humoring the idiotic sock who lives to spread bullshit because it's noise most of us don't want to hear) and you get a stick up your tight ass.

As far as the mouse comment, it was really only a comment on your use of the phrase, "Complain much?" It was a stupid reply and I made a joke of it by incorporating it into your cat and mouse analogy. And I believe it was you who declared yourself to be the cat (i.e., big man around here) by using the analogy in the first place. But whatever.

As far as the photo posting issue, it was Finch who wanted to further refine the rule about what photos can and can't be posted here. I merely suggested something based on what you said the software could do for us (and I actually complimented you on what the software was capable of).

I believe and will continue to believe that the input of regular posters is what makes this place fun to visit. The rules we have have been discussed "ad nauseum" (as you put it) and the ones we will incorporate going forward should be discussed as well.

Your problem is that you want to be the cat, but whenever someone suggests something other than what you want, you immediately become the whiny, little mouse that you are.

I have to admit that "she's hot" has won.

But help a brother out. Am I wrong? Hot or not? (Yes, I am aware that -- based on the ad copy -- she won't find me hot, but indulge me.)

Very hot...for a guy.

As I was scrolling down, I saw only the top part of the pic and thought "who's already breaking the no Michael Jackson pics rule?"

In their defense (sort of), scheduling can be a real issue because few contractors do all the work themselves, and so a sub's (or different sub's) failure to get something done on time, on this or a totally different project, can screw up everyone else's scheduling all down the line, which screws up their ability to move on to the next job, and the next, etc.

They don't have the "I was saving a life and you complain about sitting in my waiting room for 4 1/2 hours" schtick (which, frankly, doctors are rarely justified in using), but it is a difficulty of the job, and probably hard to handle for people whose work skills generally lie in something other than their tight logistical & organizational abilities.

Nevertheless, I think the "call people back, show up when you say you will and do your work on time" campaign is of vital importance, even as much as timely eBay feedback.

Can't you just relax and have some fun and let other people have theirs without getting your panties in a twist?

Anyway, this is the point where the other person gets sick of your bitching and moaning and overanalyzing and gives up. You've already declared yourself the winner, so no need to do it again.

Come on, baby. You know that's not true. Are you trying to say there's no chance for us? Even after last night?

Why don't you read the fucking post again (or for the first time), mouseboy?

I'm only the winner in this exchange because you are acting like such a fucking loser.

Once again, I find the odd cuttlefish mating ritual to be an apt metaphor for this FB discourse.

[leagleaze]

Mating commences in Winter when large numbers of cuttlefish gather on the shallow near-shore reefs. Rival males become aggressive with one another, flaring out the web membrane between their tentacles and turning vivid colours. Then, they circle one another, copying each others movements. The larger and more colourful male wins the encounter and neither is harmed. Sometimes however, some males become more violent and one male cuttlefish tries to bite his rival. To attract females, the males splay their tentacles and use all of their colours in an effort to impress the females.

So..which FB babe do they want?
