Do "spoiler spaces" actually work? Why can't we just have a "spoiler" button in addition to the "http://" "@" and "IMG" buttons in the posting interface which automatically puts spoiler text in white (so as to blend in with the background)? That way, anyone who wants to read a spoiler would have to affirmatively highlight the spoiler text to see it.

For example (highlight the text below):

I found it odd that the "color" menu does not include white. White seems to blend in better than silver, which is the lightest option listed.

Not a good fix.......
White text brings back very black memories for bilmore from the infirm days. Can we just leave it at that, and have you go find some alternate soluiton.

Not Bob and the other lurking partners. Step up to the plate and help RT out here. You can write it off.

I saved TF's post where she said she'd consider sending me a million dollars of legal work; now I just lump all this stuff under marketing.

Without giving too much away, you had to say to yourself at the end, Wow, that was the right decision. I did find it kind of cruel and manipulative that Jeff asked the others how they felt about the decision. Who the fuck cares? That's too personal to have others making any sort of judgment about what another person does.

WRT to Rupert - I wholeheartedly agree. I was wondering though, has he always been this stupid? Maybe I enjoyed his personality and the way he played the game so much compared to the others in the Pearl Islands series that I just missed it before, but I'm realizing now he needs fitted for a tinfoil hat.

And Hank, great fucking avatar. Can we expect a leprechaun hat, red beard and a green suit come March?

edited to add spoiler space. e/o

What world are you smokin' crack in?

Weird that.

* This is not hyperbole, but posting images of ugly Wisc. women really isn't required.

There wasn't a single attractive person -- male or female -- from Marquette at last year's Final Four. Marquette women made Kansas women look like Kappas from Ole Miss. And that's hard to do.

Uh. None that I know of. I don't recall. I have no recollection.

In the 30%, I'm talking just those people where you either (a) cannot believe how freakin' ugly they are or (b) have some freakish characteristic that makes you want to look away in horror. (And, now that I put it that way, I'm going to lower this percentage to 20%.)

I'm not saying 70% of the world are babes, just that 70% [now 80%] make the cut if the cut is "inoffensive". Granted, of that 80%, a much smaller percentage are what you'd call smokin' (or similar).

Hotness

Hottest women: (1) LA, (2) Dallas, (3) Miami. Women who think they are the hottest: New York

The deal with the NY standard of beauty is that everything about NY is competitive. But it's not an entertainment industry company town the way LA and parts of Miami are, where everyone has to look a certain degree of hotness to work in a store, a restaurant, or actually in entertainment.

When I am in LA, I don't see a monothic California beach type. There are beautiful women of every hair color and skin tone. The one absolute guarantee is ginormous breasts.

NY women are skinnier per capita than anywhere I have been besides Paris, and they cannot hold a candle to the drop dead gorgeous women strolling through Paris.

Hot Lesbian Chicks

None of the pictures do anything for me. Now, a truly hot chick with bisexual tendencies . . .

Spoiler Space

If you have to say, "Without giving too much away" you are giving something away.

In our tivo world, some of us actually prefer to be unspoiled until we watch on the weekends. Just use the space.

Then don't go there.*

Miami and LA I'll give you, at least as reasonable. But Big D? Cite, please. Or something, because when I think Dallas, I think big hair, big jewelry, and tons 'o makeup. I'll grant you, southern women, and texans, do more with what they've got than anywhere. But that doesn't make them hot. Except perhaps to dtb.

And now you're not sayin' what you were sayin' when you were sayin' it (sounds like an Eminem lyric, don't it?). You said 70% of the population is "good looking." That's insane. 70% may not make your stomach turn, but that's not really quite the same, is it?

Not only are most people stupid, but most people are un. a. ttractive.

Indeed. Very well done, Hank.

Huh? Are you saying that I think big hair, big jewelry and makeup applied with a spackling tool is hot? 'Cause if so, I've got two words for you....


Right on, brother!



Reminds me of the conversation I overheard on the subway between adult (mother?) and child: "I've got two words for you young man, BE HAVE (pronounced "hayve")." That poor kid just doesn't have a chance, does he?

I don't live in Dallas, so I am only describing this as a frequent visitor: the plastic surgeons do excellent work in Dallas. As a result, the women are gorgeous.

No, no. My very (admittedly esoteric) point is that if you MUST divide someone into either "good looking" or "ugly" I think most people would make the cut if they are inoffensive. I take it that you place the vast "middle ground" of people who are neither ugly nor especially attractive in the ugly camp. I would not.

So we two reasonable people (giving you the benefit of the doubt here) disagree (can you believe it?!? What are the chances?). No big whoop.
