I dont like brownies. Unless there is real choclate melted in, it is pseudo chocolate. This is disappointing. THe clarification I need is whether the truffle is on the inside or the top of the thing. and what flavor is the truffle?

Which reminds me. Sees. Anyone familiar with how well their truffles ship? Rum truffles, key lime truffles, nothing better.

Harry and David truffles always arrive in great shape at Christmas time. As do their mini cheesecakes... Someone must stop this fattening food discussion.

Sees ship well. I had them shipped from California to Texas with no problem.

MoC is a dessert, not a candy. Please do not order it. I would hate to think the most heavenly creation ever would disappoint you.

Serious question: What do you do with ties?

According to Carson on QE, you tie them rakishly around your waist for a cute belt. Or, in my town, you could just wear a pink flowered dress to work (NTTAWWT) and get the crap beaten out of you for that instead.

They generally eat plants to help them move hairballs through their GI tract. I don't think they like the taste so much as it is an instinct thing. If eating the fiber laden plant does not stimulate the gut to push the hairball forward, it generally stimulates the vomitting. Either way, the hairball is gone and the cat feels better.

Being a cat freak drops you two places on the looks scale.

Ah yez. MI2. She is hot, no doubt. But too skinny in a "I'm living in a dream world where I would say such a thing" type way.

I don't get it (the type you describe.)

Any way you slice it, Thandie is h-h-h-h-hot. I think maybe she's hot in a more "bookish" way than Halle -- who is just straight up sex-on-a-stick gorgeous.

I think Thandie is quite a good actress. There's some movie from the 80's (I'm guessing) where she plays a girl from Uganda (I think) at an Australian boarding school (Nicole Kidman and Naomi Watts are in it too). She was really good in that (as was N.Kidman -- whom I also think is very pretty, but not in the same was as Thandie). Naomi Watts (great actress too) doesn't really figure much into the Australian boarding school movie, and is hidden behind some gibundo glasses hiding her beautiful face (now she is another hot mama...).

So anyways, a poll.

1. Trent or Mikey?
2. Aside from the answering machine, favorite painful scene.
3. Favorite famous line.
4. Favorite throw-away line.

I'll go first:

1. Trent. Although Mikey ends up with true love with Heather Graham, wouldn't we still want to be Trent?
2. The trailer scene where you just know that Mikey is going to interrupt Trent and hot waitress, but it still kills you.
3. "We're going to be up five-hundy by midnight!"
4. "It's not even so much me, as Roenick. He's good."

1. Trent. Dumb question. No one will pick Mikey.
2. Another dumb question. You listed both of them.
3. "Our little Mikey's all groweds up."
4. Too many. "Hang on, Voltaire." "The cameraman was crying too, but not so much from what I did. I think he had his own thing going on." "This place is dead anyway." "Oh. Now I'm the asshole in the restaurant." "Didn't you see 'Boys 'N' tha Hood? Now one of us has to get shot."

(And Roenick really was that good. Same skills as Yzerman, but you couldn't knock him down and he could check like Probert.)

The OddMan and I were recently out with another couple when we began discussing situations when we've been hit on, like strange encounters with the opposite or same sex.

The OddMan then launched into his tale of having us invited by one of his coworkers to have sex with them.

The other couple was a little surprised that we had been approached by different couples we know socially.

Their surprise made me wonder: isn't swinging a fairly banal, suburban activity?

Even(for the record, the OM and I have always politely declined)Odds

My wife and I have been propositioned twice, and both times its been by nauseating people:

1. At a nice local restaurant some creepy couple in their late 40s starts talking to us out of the blue and thengets to discussing how they've been sort of married, but separated on and off for years, and how they've dated other people. The chick was allright if you had about 5 drinks, but the guy was a mess. My wife and I sat at the bar and toyed with them for two hours laughing our asses off at their desperate attempts to get something started. At one point I thought the guy was going to try to kiss my wife. She was a but pissed that I didn't step in to save her, but it was too funny.

2. On vacation the wife and I go to what we think is a secluded clothing optional beach where we could fuck around a bit. After finding the most remote area we could, out of nowhere comes this nasty 50ish naked guy who comes up and starts talking to us about how great the island is and about how we need to go to some bar for a party later. he then starts describing his gf in very specific physical terms and telling us we'd really love to meet her. I look at the dude like "Are you fucking kidding me?" and he goes away. A few minutes pass and another huge fat guy comes up and tells us we have to check out an area of the beach about a football field away where he and his gf are partying. Having lost all interest in romance after having to stare at naked fat guys for about an hour and watch them leer at my wife's privates (tip to perverts - if you're standing with your back to the sun, the person in front of you can see your eyeballs through your mirrored shades), I snapped "No, don't think so" in a condescending manner. The dude shot me a look like I'd just insulted him. I felt like saying "Hey, asshole, I'm not a fuckin swinger... get it?"

The only common thread I noted in these experiences was that swingers tend to be ugly and fucking obnoxious. What the fuck makes a fat ugly old person think a fairly attractive person would sleep with their ugly old ass? "Sure, I'd love to swap my 30 year old wife for your wrinkled sorta-wife." Get a fucking clue.

Anyone with HBO wanna tape this for me? Missing it is killing me, but not killing my husband enough for him to agree to getting premium cable. My friends and family members who watched last night uniformly said it was fantastic.

Respectfully dissent. I watched only part of it last night, and the only actor I thought did a good job was the brown-haired young one (blanking on her name now, but she was in Fried Green Tomatoes, and I think her name is a 3-parter). However, I didn't see Emma Thompson or Meryl Streep, so can't comment. It's just that it was so obvious that it was a play and the dialogue was so "pat" that it distracted from the suspension-of-reality effect (I mean to say that you forget you're watching a Performance -- capital "P" -- and that you're just a silent witness observing other people interacting).

Decidedly (and almost embarrassingly) mediocre.

You really are stupid.

That is exactly what one of my friends told me about her trip to a Dallas swingers club. She and her bf were the only decent looking people in the place. And all these disgusting men were on the prowl. They departed quickly.

I think the bottom line is that most swingers are ugly people looking to trade up.

I was just skimming, but I read here that, if the hairball that you live with doesn't object, there are certain houseplants you can eat that will enable you to barf before blackout stage.

Just a PSA, but drinking hydrogen peroxide will also make you barf. (My vet was very impressed that I knew this and had already administered treatment to the rottweiler princess when I suspected she had eaten some rat poison.)

Of course, you shouldn't make them throw up if they've swallowed something erosive (that's not the word, but I hope the meaning is clear) like Dran-O or something.

Did you not read any of our descriptions?

It's like half-brownie, half-truffle. It is a baked good. It is heaven on a plate, especially when paired with a complex red wine.

If you're not going to send me some, shut the fuck up about it already.

And here's a question, why are women so crazy for chocolate? I mean, I think guys like it, but it's like a fucking lifestyle with many women. Is it because they deny themselves the pleasure and build up the anticipation or is it more fundamental?

I'll remind you that replying to this fucking idiot will not make her (for simplicity sake, will call NM a she, no opinion as to whether this is true) go away any faster.

And is "not for long" up yet? Jesus, she's AVERAGING around 20 posts a day. Even on ignore that is a lot to fucking scroll through.
