Only wimps stay home. Wimp. Or, that was your implication. I don't want to scroll back that far, but you were mocking DC for shutting down for the least little thing, like a couple few inches of snow, or a hurricane. Apparently your reasoning was that people in DC were delusional in thinking that Isabel would really have a tremendous effect because, as I think you pointed out, DC is not on the shore.

Jesus. If you are home, you go back and find the post that prompted my stop sign comment.

Except if you were a real man, you would go in to work. If streets are closed or you need to take the Metro and it's closed, walk. It's not like you will get knocked over by a wave or whatever.

I'd mock, but I come from the land of "close the schools when the temperature gets below freezing."

penske: Other than one time in highschool, I have never vomitted on another living human being; I have never kicked anyone's ass. Yet.

ias 39: You graduated to corpses?

penske: I may have vomitted in a cemetery once. And may do so again, ftm.

If you're sublimate by vomiting on pets, be patient about kicking someone's ass. Sooner or later, an ass, or at least its owner, will object.

We have a winner! I was wondering when somebody was going to figure this out....

This guy I know is unbelievably handsome; I mean, like Matthew McConnawhooseeewhatsis after a shower. He is also unbelievably anti-social (he's nice to me though. I think because he knows I'm unavailable, and unlikely to be throwing myself at him, but I digress.)

He has no need to be personable, because he has chicks (and dudes, actually) throwing himself at him all the time.

Bullshit. I've known a few chicks who were utterly stunning who seemed aloof until I actually made the effort to meet them. Most of them were actually rather shy and kind of socially awkward because people rarely addressed them normally. Usually, they just got creepy lines from freaks because most normal guys thought these chicks were out of their league. If you're single and normal and see a hottie, go talk to her just like she was a guy and be normal - you'll probably find she's available, or at least maybe make a friend.

The hot guy you know probably just has no personality.

By the way, no matter how hot a guy is, he still has to work it. I don't know any cat who can just stand at a party and wait for chicks to hit on him.

I mocked yesterday. Unfortunately, my employer doesn't pay enough that I have Metro in my back pocket, and email entreaties alone were unsuccesful. They closed not because their trains can't go in the rain and wind, but because they were afraid people would be blown off platforms.

And, yes, I'm doing everyone who's (indeed) enjoying fb's hurricane jokes a favor. You're welcome.

Burger accidentally PMed this instead of posting it: "Yes. Real men don't listen to their employer who say "work from home." Makes sense."

Sheep. If it is actually not possible for the weather to be that bad, you should exercise some independent judgement and go in, not join the flocks who stock up on water and canned food any time flurries are predicted.

Edited to fix split infinitive. For ncs's sake.

It goes between the Oregon and Pennsylvania plates.

"A leading British museum has paid $387,000 for a Renaissance plate which shows a male head made up entirely of phalluses."

Your slam would be vaguely appropriate if I weren't working on my laptop. outside on my porch. under a huge tree.

the breeze is delightful.

Be careful out there you Eastcoasters... Those flying newsanchors in their North Face (tm) parkas can be dangerous when airborne.

Based on the video I saw on MSNBC, Brian Williams should be passing over Ballmer about now...

I've never been able to figure out why anyone buys a new car, myself. Get something a couple or three years out of the showroom with a decent maintenance record and no bad crash history, you take advantage of the biggest chunk of depreciation, it's new enough to not be technologically defunct yet, and you have good information on the reliability of the model. Plus, if you want, you can afford something much nicer than you can get new. Then take care of it.

I think new car smell is overrated.

Apropos of nothing, wouldn't Atticus (as Felix Unger) and Sebby (as Oscar Madison) do a great remake of "The Odd Couple"?

Me too.

A buddy of mine can just go out on the dance floor by himself, and before you know it, there are 4-5 girls out there with him. It's unbelievable. Of course, this guy will fuck ANYTHING. Ugly, fat, whatever. He doesn't care.

I like that the banner around his head translates to say "Every man looks at me as if I were a dickhead". Indeed.

You know, that plate bears a remarkable similarity to an animated .gif I saw of a male brain. http://cntaylor5.tripod.com/id531.htm (spree: bawdy .gif)
