And apparently Lester is still not over the fact that he can't have me. Some things never change. Except for the fact that we have an ignore feature. Why dont you make yourself useful and say something about reality tv. Does the deaf chick on survivor have a chance> How come nobody talks about her being a hottie? She is pretty. Is it bc she is deaf or is she too old or something?

I thought she was 24????? How can she be too old to be hot if she's 24? Maybe she needs botox (JOKE).

I like her but she won't win. Who wants to go up against a nice girl who is deaf? Everyone wants to go to the finals with a jerkoff.

People keep telling me to post over here, but all I see is a rehash of what we knew:

1. Paigow is pigheaded and wrong;
2. Everyone else knows it; yet
3. Y'all can't resist responding to her even though you would flee her table and a similar conversation IRL like an Iraqi_refugee, an ingrate, or a non-PC chef if you made the mistake of sitting next to her at dinner.

Hiya, Less.

The deaf girl is only 24? Apparently adventure guide is not a great position for the antiaging regime. I think she is prettier than Jenna, which, lets face it, isnt saying much. Seeing as Jenna is a "swimsuit model" I am guessing she has a better bod than Christy who, as an adventure guide probably has a good body. So why arent the boys talkig about her being hot? Is deafness that much of a turnoff? And is Christy gone this week?

I really cannot wait to that arrogant little sexist pig Rob is gone. He really thinks he is the ruler over there. One gets the feeling he might rape Heidi if the moment was right bc he is so angry she isnt into him

What are you basing that statement on? Cosmetic surgery is no "easier," whatever that means, or "safer" now than it was 25 years ago. Most cosmetic surgeries aren't now nor ever were risky surgeries. If anything, cosmetic surgery may be more risky today, since it used to be done in hospital ORs and the anesthesia was administered by anesthesiologists. Now it is typically done in office based OR suites and the anesthesia is administered by nurse anesthetists.


Depends on what you mean by huge. If you mean D-cups, it is so rare it isn't worth discussing. If you mean C-cups, yes, there are skinny girls with C-cups. Say hello to one of them.

1. How do you know this? Have you looked into getting cosmetic surgery? Have you had it done? Do you know well anyone who's had it done? I do, and I can assure you, if you go to a reputable surgeon (which costs a lot), its every bit as easy and safe as TM stated earlier. You are correct, however, that if one goes to Dr. Nick Riviera for a $3000 boob job, one will get hacked. Like anything else - you get what you pay for.

2. Don't start a "Yeh, but that means poor women will suffer at the hands of quacks." That's true, but that's not this discussion, so lets not stray from point. We;ve had enough deflecting this week already.

3. If you're not a man and you are skinny and have C-cups, congratulations. You've hit the genetic lottery. That you're not hitched tells me you must have a pretty ugly face.

S(... or that your IRL persona resembles your board persona)D

I missed the first edition because I was out of town for my sister's wedding. Now I have scanner and would be happy to participate as more than just a viewer. And don't worry--they'll be pre-childbearing breasts so as not to frighten anyone. Would you prefer bare, bra'ed, or both?

Shit, who made this guy a moderator? Now I cant ignore him (though i can always scroll). I thought moderators were supposed to be neutral, non flaming types?

Not fair. We want them bare, but we want them both.

In a woman? I don't know if it makes much of a difference, since they usually give no evidence that they listen to what we men have to say, anyway.

Now, muteness on the other hand, depending on the woman, is sometimes a huge turn-on.

No. That's not at all what he said. If you'd like to respond to your made-up interpretation of what he said, post it under a sock and then reply to yourself. Or close your ofice door and argue with yourself, then post a real reply to his actual words.

Its 2:30.

You will be in the parking lot.

If you're not, you have no credibility at all.

Huh? I said that cosmetic surgery isn't risky. I just disagreed that it is safer now than it used to be. It always was safe. It probably used to be even safer than it is now because it used to be done in hospital-based ORs with MD's administering the anesthesia. Now it is typically done in the plastic surgeon's OR, which may or may not be as safe as a hospital OR, and the anesthesia is administered by a nurse, not a doctor.

With the exception of lipo, the anesthesia is the riskiest part of cosmetic surgery.

And I don't know what TM means by "easier." What does that mean? I don't think it is any easier than it ever was. It never was difficult surgery.

Why would I say that? I have never voiced an opinion one way or the other on cosmetic surgery on this board.

I got lucky in life. My dad is rich and smart and his money and power bought him a beautiful wife. I got his genes for intelligence, used his money to go to the best schools, and got my mother's genes for looks. It is good to be me.[/QUOTE]

You will note that I have relented with the flaming from the other day, Paigow, in part because of my newly-acquired mod status. It also got boring. That said, there's nothing in the mod handbook that prohibits calling people out.

I could not note that bc you were on my ignore list which means that I was ignoring you.

And speaking of ignoring, is barely the only person who is not ignoring me who is watching survivor? How is this show still in the top three?

Right, 'cuz that's what goes on here alot. People actually respond to each other. Honey, this board is one big cluster fuck and you are often the fuckee.

You seem rather touchy about the ugly issue. I know you claim you are a hottie IRL, but hotties aren't touchy about the ugly issue like you are. We feel sorry for the ugly folk.

I know we've done a poll about deal breakers before -- I saw this letter in Salon and it reminded me to add another dealbreaker to my list:

HELL: The Dealbreaker

A friend of mine set me up with a woman that he barely knew. Since my friend has good taste, I figured it was worth a shot. So I asked her out for a drink. We e-mailed pictures of ourselves so we'd be able to find each other. The picture was cute and matched her real appearance.

The conversation was reasonable and she seemed nice. I was thinking that I would ask her out again to get to know her a little better. As we were walking out to our cars she told me she was a little embarrassed about where she parked. I thought that was odd and tried to imagine how parking could be embarrassing. Did she double park? Did she park in a tow-away zone? Did she park on someone's lawn? So I jokingly asked, "Where did you park, in a handicapped spot?"

And she said yes.

Appalled, I paused for a few seconds, thinking of what to say, and finally spluttered, "Aren't you worried that you'll get a ticket?"

And she said, "No, because I'm using my mom's placard."

Earlier she had told me that her mom had died last year. I was totally shocked, having never met someone who used their dead mother's handicapped placard to park illegally.

I thought maybe it was a joke. But I saw that she had indeed parked her SUV with a placard in a handicapped spot. So I mumbled a good night and left wondering if she was collecting her mother's Social Security checks too.
