It is very enjoyable and fulfilling to kayak.

Assuming, of course, you do other things too.



And no, it is not possible, in this version of the board, to turn off the click here, nor is it possible to not see the quotes.

I just try and give ncs a rough time. I think she likes that kind of thing. It's got to to work better than Penske's suck up approach.

Agreed. I would work out and get a great golf teacher to build my skills in an effort to make the senior tour. And if I never got that good, no worries. I'd still be playing golf all the time.

PRobably adverbabble, but maybe the energy it takes to chew this new cardboard product burns up 2 carbs, so it's gross 8, net 6. Net 4.2 if you slow dance while eating them.

Whiffing Burger here, but I think net carbs are something like wind chill factor. Eight actual grams of carbohydrates, minus two grams that are "good" carbs, equals six net (grams of) carbs. The people at Atkins say it's kosher to ignore certain types of carbs that they want you to ingest, like, for instance, fiber.

So most are from my work on various boards, or you know, from videotaping Idle, or stuff like that.

I do have a couple of close friends from my job, but I find friendships from school and jobs don't tend to last so much once you are out of school and/or job.

So you're saying that you have no contact with any childhood friends at all? 2 of my closest friends I met in 3rd grade.

I was the one who was saying this, and I was specifically saying it to Not Me, although I suppose it applies equally to you.

Kayaking is extremely relaxing, and is a great upper body workout. For lake kayaking, you have the serenity of gliding just above the surface of the water. Your paddle strokes evenly timed in a zen-like repetition. Or you can go kayaking in the sea or larger lakes, like Superior. Explore nature, go on kayaking "trails" up and down the coast, camping and getting away from it all. Paddling through the swells as the sun begins to burn off the early morning fog. I defy you to experience this and not be moved. Or, you can river kayak. Become proficient and perhaps someday experience the thrill of a first descent. Or, if even this is not enough of an adrenaline rush for you, you can run waterfalls, with terrifying freefalls into the maelstrom of water below. Kayaking has something for everyone!

No, we moved a lot, so I lost contact with people.

I have one good friend from high school to whom I speak from time to time. That's about it.

So, you're saying any food co can just put what they want on their nutriotional labels? "The big mac, now with only 7 calories.*" (because the other 593 are good calories that you need to live on).

Bullshit on your bullshit. Most men who want a chick to be smart still don't want her to be smarter than they are.

I'm not suggesting that most men want to talk to a paralegal over cocktails, but most men don't want to feel like they're intellectually inferior to the woman they're with.

If I'm street smart and book smart, you're really digging my shit... so long as I'm not street smarter or book smarter than you. If we're trying to figure out what your take is on a big PI case you took on contingency, you don't want me doing the math in my head faster than you can.

You're full of it. If you ever met a guy who wasn't intimidated by your (alleged) beauty, wit, breasts and brains, no matter how smart you are, he would think he was smarter. And if he didn't add up in some areas, he'd be okay with it because he'd beat you in other (suddenly more important) areas.

How the fuck did this discussion become about me and my alleged beauty, wit, breasts and brains?

Quite honestly, I think, from observation and thought on the matter, that one can accomplish quite a lot more with one's life if one is freed from the day to day drag of having to make ends meet and earn.

One sounds like an English 101 TA when one overuses the word "one" in one's posts.

Honey, I can smell the stench of you all over your socks so I dont see why an FBA would be any different. Who even knows the password to it anyway?

You wound me. My socks have no "stench." Uh, do they?

Alas, everyone will agree that you are mostly correct* about the fact that they tend not to stay secret for too long. Well, with one or two exceptions, and I am sure that one of these days I'll goof on the log-in of my sidd finch sock.

That being said, I will ask E/O to redraft my next potentially embarrassing anonymous inquiry to remove all hints of the scent of Parfum de Not Bob.

*Ha-ha-ha, I kill me. What I initially wrote here was so close to this classic line that I decided to use it instead.
