BTW, Super-thin landing strip = greater sensitivity.

Really? Hmmmmm

I like the idea in principle, but I've always appreciated the aesthetics of the contrast the well groomed carpeting provides, even if it is harder to work with.

You know, I always wondered how you got the words to show up instead of the actual URL so that you just click on the word and it magically transports you to the new site. Even though this program lets you do it without really knowing how (it's like a cheat-sheet) I feel like my web-fu quotient is rising, and (sniff), I'm getting verklempt. Of course, I'm nowhere near taking the grasshopper from the hand, but, the journey of 1,000 miles and yadda yadda yadda...

(I had to work in the phrase "web-fu" in there somehow!)

I saw it there first, too. Isn't the Magic Linking Thing fun? Particularly fun when used to link to other posts here. :boots:

Let us pause for a moment in the memory of the dearly departed who pioneered the use of such linking, at least in my own little world, and created wonderful things with it until they were taken from us too soon.:sniffle:

edited to put the "r" in pearl jam, the absence of which has been making me wish I was e/o

is the theory here that if a woman is a good athelete, she must be on steroids?

In re Serena Williams - I'll quote none other than Austin Powers:

You must admit she is rather mannish. Really, if that is a woman she must have been beaten with an ugly stick

Where is your "signature" line from? I googled it (I'm high on my burgeoning web-fu techniques), and got only one hit that was some page about climbing mountains. Not very illuminating.


PS -- In case any of you were wondering whether every post of mine from now on will have the word "web-fu" woven into the timeless prose, the answer would be "yes indeedy."

"Bottle Rocket" - first movie from Owen/Luke/other brother Wilson. 1996 I believe.

Or all very annoying, depending on your perspective.

I think everyone who I forwarded your PMs knows exactly what I am talking about.

Oh, and I am sorry for bringing out your worst case paranoia and stupidity.

Now I am REALLY gone and no amount of tennis posts are going to keep me here.

And leagl, I think you need to reread your FB history books or get the Emmanuels from Ollie or someone.

paigow's "apology" was nothing more than a plea for attention. and we're all giving her exactly what she wanted.

I'm not. D'oh!:doh:

Is the theory here that, if you can find some way to be offended by something, then that must have been the meaning?

I think it has more to do with muscle mass and development. If you want to take the position that steroid use does not result in an inordinate kind and quantity of development, noticable to the eye, well, . . .

nope. that's why i phrased my question as a question.

from your clarification, it sounds like the theory (one theory) is that if a woman -- or perhaps any person, male or female -- has certain muscle size and/or shape, they must be using steroids. is that closer to the mark?

i wouldn't dispute that steroid use results in muscle mass, etc., but i do think it's insulting to athletes who work very hard to do what they do to assume that i can tell just by looking at someone that they use steroids.

i know some people do use steroids. and not all athletes work hard. but i also think the human body can do astonishing things, and varies immensely in terms of shape, size, strengths and abilities across people.

am i spelling athlete wrong? looks odd.

Coltrane, every time you post I find myself compelled to read your signature line. And then I feel bad because I have never really thought about Dignan and prefer to think about myself.

But I don't feel bad enough to actually think about Dignan.

Please think about Dignan. Please.

Theories and muscle mass and Serena, oh my!

I don't know that the original post was really theorizing on anything. It seemed to me like just a comment.

Speaking of tennis players, did anyone else read the article where Venus is starting her own interior design biz? I'm not sure if she's just planning for the future after tennis or if she's tired of everyone pointing out that her little sister is beating her and planning on getting out sooner than expecte.

Either way, I'm hoping the Williams' sisters taste in tennis outfits isn't a glimpse of their design sense.

Call me crazy, but I think she's pretty and has a beautiful smile. She is a ... um, powerful woman, but I don't think that means she can't be considered pretty.





Shoot -- and can't figure a way to work in "web-fu" somewhere -- wait -- I just did!

[for those having an even more difficult day than i am, the foregoing was a joke.]

i think serena's better looking than venus. that's just me.

I think the real question isn't whether anyone is a man, but whether anyone else agrees with me that Venus--and Melissa Rivers particularly, though not a tennis player--looks like a horse.

And of course they're not men. They're just better tennis players than you.

I played tennis with Melissa Rivers last week. She might still be lingering from the effects of spending two weeks in the Aussie Rainforest, but she SUCKED. No backhand at all. And don't get me started on her serve . . .

Bottle Rocket is a must see movie. If you liked Rushmore or Royal Tenenbaums in the least, go see Wes' first (and in many ways, best) movie. Plus, Inez is HOT. And it's got Applejack/Kumar. I will not debate this.

Finally, WTF is "squishing your head," Paigs. If'n you're referring to the Kids in the Hall set-piece, it's "I'm crushing your head," (which can only be countered by the "nobody home" thumb gambit). So: NOBODY HOME.

Resume normalcy.

A. Sorry if that came off bitchy.

B. There's no absolute, and exercise will do great things, but when a certain stage of muscle development is reached, yeah, the prediction of steroid use is fairly reliable, esp. when combined withe the presence of some other physical changes they provoke.
