Is Wilco numero uno?

This was very funny. I will now have to put MIB somewhere on my heart list. Let's see, how about below John Stewart and above Paul Rudd? Yes, that seems to work.

Carry on.

Clearly you have not met Mr. Kiss. Please come visit and work your magic. Maybe you can get through to him that the skater boi look is out, out, out for the over 30 crowd.

Well done. Right up there with "big dummy."

Now run along sweetie. Gus is waiting.

And you run along back to the pb, where at least you have the chance of "boring" being confused with "substantive."

Edited to change my response. With the recent discussions of favorite office supplies, you may just fit right in. Do you have any Sharpie jokes for us?

I usually think that, for guys, wardrobe is something that is more easily fixable. So many guys just wear whatever seems innocuous and don't really take pride in having a "style" or standing out. Which leaves them very open to suggestions about what looks good

What do you think about this tie?



(I dig it.)

Excellent, now I have some good ideas on what to get you for Valentines Day.

I would have to go with diamond earrings and expensive chocolate.

It would look good wrapped around the waist of a catholic school girl.

True. It could serve more than one purpose.

That's sk8tr boi, sis, and it looks good on 50 year old drug addled conservatives so why shouldn't it look good on him?

A few have defended me, but most haven't even listened to what I said.

I was with you, brother, until you turned out to be a spineless wimp.

You started strong with the unassailable position that "I've got to put breast implants in the same categories as strippers and prostitutes .... [T]here might be legitimate reasons to get them or become one [but] women rarely do it for the right reasons. They do it because they want to be objectified and have power over men they've never really had."

Amen. All dem bitches want is power, money, and to be groped by Arnold. Ergo, they are the equivalent of hookers and strippers - FemiJennas manipulating their bodies so that construction workers will whistle at them, Arnold will grope them and they can sue his ass, and I will splurge for the Joseph Phelps Insignia at dinner.

You, however, gave into the defenders of the evil boob job, morphing into some sort of quasi-psychological defense of your previsouly righteous position: "[W]omen who have had brest implants ... don't just want to look better or sexier or have a quick fix or whatever. ...[T]hey think that these physcial changes to their bodies are going to make them different people: more confident, more attractive, more successful, more ablt to dictate that men treat them better, richer, whatever. ."

Here, you still spaketh truth, but you made your previously moral position into some mealy-mouthed condescending argument that Rosie O'Donnell would make. I retained hope, though, that you still thought these women were close to strippers and prostitutes in the way they altered their appearances for the basest of interests. I pictured you never stooping to their level to change your appearance in any way. You won't brush your teeth, shower or use deoderant. Damn it to hell if it might make you more confident, attractive or successful - you weren't changing your body for anyone!

You reassured me that I was right with this passage: "They view a physical change as something that is going to change the way they feel about themselves. And I don't think that's healthy. If you don't like yourself, even if you can make you like yourself more for a while with some breast implants, that's not going to make yourself like you in the long run." Praise the Lord, and sing along with CSNY:

"Almost cut my hair today
It happened just the other day
It's gettin' kinda long
I could've said it was in my way
But I didn't and I wonder why
I feel like letting my freak flag fly
Yes I feel like I owe it to someone"

Love you or leave you, and, ladies, you are beautiful as nature made you! Don't let Cosmo tell you otherwise. Fight the Gucci Power, and pass the bong because the Dead are about to play Space.

Unfortunately, my hope was short lived. Your final post capitulated like the weak, pussy-whipped asstool I always thought. You made me gag me with this touching whitewash:"It's about concern ... for those I consider to be less fortunate than me ... I think that women who feel like they have to get bigger tits to make society like them are less fortunate than I am. All I feel like I have to do to have society like me is have a few decent suits and a nice car."

Now you have concern for these manipulative quasi-whores who just want power over you and to be objectified?!?! Bullshit. You are the same piece-of-shit you were when you started this tragic display of retreat and apology so be a man and get back in your fucking high (yet expensive), patchouli smelling, car and drive.

This reminded me of Larry Niven's classic story "Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex" about what would happen if Superman banged Lois Lane - http://www.larryniven.org/stories/Ma...of_Kleenex.htm

That would be "The Year They Began to Suck Ass"... Which really kicked off with "Remote Control", "Beavis", "Monkees" reruns and then went into high gear with "Real World", etc. Early 90's I believe...

But "Remote Control" did have one redeeming quality (well, three, but Jenny's breasteses go without saying):

"This topic is 'Dead or Canadian.'"

Looking here, I'm not quite sure what she is promoting.
