We should certainly enforce spoiler space for any European sporting event people watch on tape.

Speaking of the Tour, it's official that Cipo will not be invited.

E/O

Or any sport that is run during the day when those of us chained to our desks cannot watch it. And as always with spoiler space, be careful not to requote it in the event an admin is able to delete it in time.

The good news is that unless Moya is still around (and I suspect he might have been knocked out but dont actually know), my Sunday is now freed up. Wonder what happened with Andre? Guess when you get older you are subject to more off days? Or maybe Senor Ridiculous Bowl Haircut was feeling superinspried evn on his third straight day of playing. I believe Senor Bowl went pro in 2000 and is already top ten, so he doesnt suck. I will find out tonight hwen I watch the fucking match anyway. Bastard.

You sure it isn't because you look like Velma?

I don't look like Velma dammit, I swear! I picked her because she's smart and the pretty girl on Scooby Doo was a bimbo!

It aint about blue collardom. Its just that Woostah is the mother of all Massholes, a very unique breed of americana.

Not according to this website or my understanding of the term. It's much more about towns directly around Boston. Worcester is the outer limits at best.

This whole problem can be avoided by spending the summer in San Francisco. (Cue the Mark Twain quote.) Sometimes when the fog burns off, we find tourists in shorts with chattering teeth, warming their hands over burning Fodor's guides.

I've seen tourists tea-bagging sourdough bowls of clam chowder for warmth.

I believe you asked about MY "obsession" with Woostah. SO, like, that website aint relevant to your inquiry. Fuckin Massholes.

Haven't checked out the site yet, but Masshole is a term used to describe a person, not a place. Massholes are those crazy people you see driving on the rotaries.

But vaginas are just too weird for me to go there.

I used to say the same thing about Reston. But then I went, and I was like, "Hey, it's not much to look at, but at least there's a Gap here." So it's really not that bad after all, I assure you.

Is funnier than shit. (Can I say that here?) My nephew is now real buddy buddy with all those guys. IF I had money I would back that director in a movie.

Very funny. That was a stocking stuffer gift for my SO (a nice midwestern boy), and we enjoyed watching him force his mom out in the snow to be an extra in his filck. And the stuff with the uncle was also priceless.

Why any woman would advocate bringing back the bustle is beyond me. Anything that makes my ass bigger is not going to be enthusiastically received in these (hind)quarters.

You miss the point. If bustles are the fashion, no one can tell what size your (or anyone else's) ass is. And, people's tastes being shaped by what they see, big butts may become a more mainstream taste.

BR(when little bitty waists with wide hips and a bum you can sink your grip into come back in, I might be able to buy clothes without needing massive alterations)C

Actually, on this note, I've been haunting vintage shops for a few months now. I seem to have a '40s figure: lots of skirts with 27 inch waists and 40+ inch hips, and not just the A-lines.

I thought those were the tourists who just don't know how to drive.:poke:

Let's not leave Woostah residents out of the loop please though--I believe it was a Woostah Masshole who stole my piece-of-crap car from Western Mass. in college for a joyride and dumped it in a skanky neighborhood there.

I get that all the time too, NTTAWWT. Apparently because I'm annoyed by sexism and only get around to wearing makeup other than lipstick on weekends, if then.

I think that people thought I was gay when I was in law school. My brother had just come out around that time, and I was going to pride events and being all supportive about gay rights. I think that my playing rugby at the time probably also put me in the dyke category for some people. Lord knows I was one of two straight people on that team.

These days I never assume anything about sexual orientation, and generally it doesn't really have an impact on me one way or another unless the other person wants to sleep with me or I want to sleep with the other person.

The old "When in Rome" theory, huh?

I knew that by referring to the Mark Twain thing, I was setting the bar just a little bit higher for you, you sick fuck.*

Exactly. I remember when a Woostah Masshole drove their gigantic brown barge into my Volkswagen GTI when I was in Kenmore Square and then did not have any insurance to cover it.

OK, maybe this person wasnt from Woostah, but she was definitely a Masshole and I LOLed at your story bc what is it with Massholes and cars and driving?

And yes, a Masshole is a person, and not all Massholes are from Woostah, but it is probably safe to say that all peole from Woostah are massholes. And as I recall, black reeboks and acid washed jeans were spendy items in the late eighties, so it aint a class thing. Its a Mass thing.
