And yes, most men get tripped up if you ask them what size their pantyhose are, but the men on this board probably wouldn't be.

FYI -- my pantyhose size is generally D, but I'm afraid I don't know my bra size - pretty small overall, maybe some kind of trainer?

THis is how the spinster evolves. Years of straddling.

Sounds about right.

$20,000 bonuses in Maine, I wonder if Houston will match? (spree: bonus news) I suggest that this article end up e-mailed to every bonus committee in the country.

but it could be Penske,

Let's put this in the 5-7-5 format, shall we?

I am not Not Me

as I am not he.

There. Much better.*

*I have no dog in this hunt, as they say. Rather, it not penske's post looked like haiku to me at first, and seeing the missing sylables offended my inner haiku poet. So, I fixed the post.

"Lay".

For some reason, that word has always bothered me. Sounds like one of the couple is just laying there, not moving, waiting for the end.

Edited to say that RP and I had the same sex ed teacher.


Scroll, then post.

People who close an email or an actual convestaion with "cheers".

a) it is not original or clever, everyone does it
b) its not quaintly british sounding, everyone american does it
c) and unless you are handing me a cocktail, it is not cool.

It is the mojito, no, the 1992 goatee of signoffs. It was cool if you were one of the first five to import it here from London. How many ways are there to say "I am a follower, someone who has never had an oringial thought in my life, someone hwo is ten years behind the curve"?

Good luck with that plea. It will likely be Not Successful.

BTW, I just finished reading 3. You forgot to mention not to read it in order to combat insomnia. The second half of the book was more of an insomnia creator than combattor.

Yeah, sorry about that. But some parts of 3 were really good, I thought. So, are were you reading 3 to please a man?

Edited to add that the author of 3, Julie Hilden, is Steven Glass's girlfriend.

How the hell can a lezzie* tell who is a hetero woman or not? You people think everyone is gay (which is just your wishful thinking). And gay women are alot like men, hence the reason you always confuse hetero women posters as men.

*is this an un-PC term? If so, what is it that you like to be called nowadays?

BTW - you're just jealous of me.

Did you just use the term "lezzie"? I haven't heard that since Thurman Munson was the Yankees catcher. If you are at all earnest in your use of that term, you really ought to get internet access for your trailer.

"She" learned it from Matt Millen.

Aren't we all pretending to be something we're not here?

I pretend to be less arrogant and narcissistic here than I am in real life.

Is it acceptable if they are from Ireland or England? I've never heard a Scot say it.

A teaser trailer is now online. It didn't load and/or run very well on my computer, but from what I could see, it looks pretty good.

Oh, God, thank you. Its gotten so bad around these parts that people are actually SAYING cheers to one another. I have been left speechless on several occasions when people use it with me.

The other awful one is when you're wearing the same thing as someone else and he comes up to you and says "Nice tie, you got the memo." I usually grin and bite my tongue to hold off saying "Yes, but it looks good on me." Some tool said it to me at a party the other night. He was this aggressive fellow who really fancied himself a mover and shaker of sorts - the kind who just drips "annoying". He wanted to talk to some chick I was having a conversation with and used that line as an opener. I wanted to take him aside and say "Dude, you're working anti-rap." Instead I bought him a mojito and we toasted with "Cheers."
