Never go up against a 12 year old on a videogame. Doesn't matter whether it's in an arcade, Nintendo, Playstation, whatever. They will almost always kick your ass. Plus, I don't even own an XBox or PS2. I don't think I'd go to work if I had one of those.

There's an arcade on Broadway in San Francisco into which we would occassionally stumble. Drunk twentysomething guys shouldn't challenge 12 year old Asian kids on Street Fighter 2. There's a flurry of moves, you die in 10 or 20 seconds, and then you have to get more quarters. Not good times.

OK, so is it wrong that when I go into the corner deli near work, and the vaguely Mediterranean clerk hands me my change with the send-off "Here you go my man." that I cannot stop thinking of the torturer in Three Kings?

Of course as I walk out of the deli, I then immediately start to think about the South Park parody as well.

Definitely backne. You can scratch backne without looking like a savage.

How often do you flirt on the job to get what you want?

I believe that for the ladies, (c) would be 'rackne.'

But this poll is disgusting.

Does that include smiling and saying "please" and "thank you"? Because most people are such power-mad self-centered tools that that's really all it generally takes.

Must everything be so complicated?

My answer is frequently.

And I am boycotting that other poll. It is both sexist and disgusting.

This was the topic of conversation over drinks last night.

I flirt frequently, especially with my clients and colleagues. I work with a lot of men and it's just the way it is.

Among my male friends, the more attractive they are, the more they flirt with the laydies. Also, the more they deal with the public, the more they flirt.

Colymbosathon ecplecticos · 12-19-2003, 10:54 AM

OK, add a (d) rackne. Now my poll is no longer sexist. Indeed, I don't see any pre-op TVs responding that they want an (e) all of the above. As for disgusting, my aren't we judgmental today?

Constantly.

That's fucking sad.

Sad? It's just part of the necessary social lubrication to get things done.

As a woman, I was less comfortable flirting when I was actually available. The less available, the easier it is.

I was about to scream "gender bias!" (thinking that only chicks can flirt to get things that they want) until I remembered that I always make sure to visit the woman who heads up word processing and that I make sure to drop off a weekly tribute of Skittles to the chick who runs IT.

Oh, and when I was a young lad fresh out of law school, I used to sing Frank Sinatra songs to the managing partner's secretary in the moonlight. She loved hearing me croon "when I was seventeen, it was a verrrry good year."
