she's young now, she's wild now, she longs to be free.
she's got the magic power of the music in [I forget the correct pronoun - she? me?] fuck


eta I would have been much more impressed if you pulled Trooper out of your hat. Or Chilliwack. or Helix.

Curses, foiled again.

[hussy!!!]

ETA - Not only double foiled, but beaten by NFH with the entire song!!!! AAAARGH

From the PB for some reason - there's something terribly wrong with her makeup.

It is sort of the same as the rule for dealing with the room-service guy when you are still in your negligee - everyone must studiously ignore the lack of appropriate clothing.

Come to think of it, that's not really the same, because the room-service guy (like your doctor or your masseuse) is hard-and-fast prohibited from making non-job-related chit chat while you are disrobed, exactly because it highlights the fact that you are disrobed in a room with a (suddenly friendly) stranger. Those people aren't even long lost acquaintances with a colorable claim on your social banalities.

Maybe it is more like apartment windows in NYC - everyone can see everyone else's business, and everyone knows this perfectly well, but everyone just pretends they can't because it is the only way we can all cope, and if someone breaks that illusion of privacy it is very awkward.

So I think the correct answer must be (i) very casual, brief chit chat is OK, provided everyone concertedly fails to notice everyone else's state of deshabille; (ii) dressed people shouldn't distract undressed people from getting dressed because the imbalance is weird; and (iii) longer, catching-up conversations should be cut off with "would you like to [grab a cup of coffee [around the corner] [next week]] [give me your card]? I've just got to finish up here, but I'd love to catch up later."

Speaking of Helix, I have got to recommend Trailer Park Boys. I literally laugh my ass off during that show. (It's true, I have no ass). Maybe I just miss Canadian humor or something, but I think it has mass appeal. You ought to give it a try if you haven't seen it.

(crossing fingers that this is a trifecta)

(and then again, you probably shouldn't listen to my recommendations because I laugh at anything lowbrow)

For the love of god, please don't pull out the Saga, the Glass Tiger or the Sass Jordan

Loosen up, missy. There's nothing wrong with a bit of chit-chat in your knickers.

I'll see your Sass Jordan and raise you a Honeymoon Suite.

Ok, this will stop now.

OMG! I had my picture taken with Sass Jordan. I was invited to the new crappy video release party. I'm the new Str8!!! I knew the MCA guy who used to give me free CDs all the time (I have an extra sealed Coneheads, the Movie, soundtrack if anyone wants it. Also lots of Anthrax - the band not the WMD)

No, but I do know it's rude to greet, speak to, or acknowledge the existence of someone while they're urinating --- a bit of etiquette trivia I really wish any of my past or present coworkers knew.

Guys, try this --- when you're standing at the urinal, pretend it's a private moment. Then, you can say "hey" when you're both washing your hands. This is an excellent way to narrow your social circle to people who wash their hands after micturition.

Oh man. "I gotta new girl now."
I loved that song.



And yes, this stops here.

What, your supposed to thank him for bringing up you meal so quickly and offer a special "tip" while gently caressing his his upper leg, backing him over to the bed, then slowly undoing his ...

Whoo. Sorry. Got a little lost there. Maybe that was just my fantasy of the proper rule from back in the days when I was a bellman.

Where the hell were the beautiful women lawyers in negligees then, huh?

Loosen up, dude. Urinal time can be one of the best times to cut through the bullshit and get to the deal. And if you're going to waste time waiting until you get to the sink, you might as well be visiting the little girl's room instead.

I promised my Mom I'd never talk to a man while he was touching his dick. I guess I'll never succeed in this biz.

Alright. We have one grammar Timmy. That's enough. I don't care what the fucking board motto is, correcting grammar when proper grammar isn't necessary is not and will never be cool. We get it; you're a grammar dork. It realllllllly bothers you when it's not applied correctly. Too bad. Get over your fucking OCD, or at least limit it to law-related documents.

Anyone have any prediction as to how this post is responded? Yeah, me too.
