So, you're the field hockey guy who beat the crap out of the girls in college, eh??

But okay, whatever. Y'all are welcome to go on thinking that I am too gorgeous and too smart to find me a man.

Isn't there a Mr. Brazen and at least one Brazenette (which is not a euphimism for your robust puppies)?

I thought it went without saying that he only attends spin class as an opportunity to meet hot chicks. Therefore he must wear his plaid pants and related hipster garb. No?

Are you sure that "he" is a he? This was anonymously sent to me so it might not be "him" at spinning class but it is odd that it came during this discussion.

I think you have a crush on the Flower.

P.S. These posts about giving blood are making me woozy. Seriously.

I have never been good at hiding my feelings.

One of the few things that bother me about this place is the collective negative attitude we show towards new posters. And (am I mixing my metaphors here?) the piling-on once there is blood in the water.

Yeah yeah yeah -- maybe he should have lurked longer, had a thicker skin, etc. But we should have cut him some slack.

concur. except that he immeditaely starting talking about parenting issues which is simply not done.

Thank you and God Bless!

How about this one? Fashionable and a witness. I'm letting him in if he ever knocks on my door on a weekend morning.

Two things:

(1) When I give blood, I have to lie down for a while or I get woozy and fall over. For whatever reason, it affects me more than others.

(2) I never gave blood in college because someone told me I couldn't go to practice (sport not identified here as outable) that day if I'd given blood. This was before I learned about (1).

So, don't do it. Emasculation sucks.

I tried to give blood during one of those emergency low blood situations about five years ago, and I was told that since I lived in the UK for more than 6 months prior to 1996, I was ineligible, so I haven't given blood in years. They're having a blood drive here next week, and I was looking at the list of people who couldn't give on the e-mail, and I was shocked at how many restrictions there were.

These are the restrictions:

You cannot donate blood or platelets if you:

• Do not have a valid picture ID
• Do not have a Social Security Number or valid foreign passport
• Are under the age of 17, or weigh under 110 pounds
• Have had tattoo, skin piercing or non-sterile ear piercing or acupuncture in the past 12 months
• Have traveled in the past year, or resided in the past three years, in an area considered to be of high risk for malaria
• Have visited or lived in the United Kingdom for a total of three months from 1980 through 1996
• Have visited or lived in Europe for a combined total of five years from 1980 to present
• Resided in U.S. military bases in Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, or the United Kingdom for a total of six months from 1980 to 1990
• Resided in U.S. military bases in Greece, Italy, Portugal, Spain, or Turkey for a total of six months from 1980 to 1996
• Were born in, lived in or traveled to certain African countries since 1977
• Have ever had cancer, other than basal cell carcinoma of the skin or in situ carcinoma of the cervix
• Are a hemophiliac
• Have ever used intravenous (IV) illegal drugs, even once
• Are a man who has had sex with another man since 1977, even once
• Have ever had a positive test for the AIDS virus
• Have had sex in the last 12 months (even once) with a person with the diagnosis of AIDS
• Have been incarcerated (in jail, prison or a correctional institution) for more than 72 consecutive hours during the past 12 months
• Had sex in the last 12 months (even once) with a male or female prostitute
• Have any of the following symptoms, which are associated with AIDS:
  1. Unexplained recent weight loss of more than 10 pounds in less than two months
  2. Unexplained sweating, especially at night
  3. Fever higher than 99° for more than a week
  4. Swollen glands; enlarged lymph nodes in the neck, armpit or groin, with or without pain
  5. Pink, blue or purple flat or raised spots or lumps on or under the skin and mucous membranes. They may look like bruises, but they don’t go away
  6. White patches in the mouth (thrush)
  7. Persistent cough or shortness of breath
  8. Persistent diarrhea

Go to spinning class. Let a couple of key hotties know that you selflessly gave blood this morning but didn't want to miss class and were not sure if there would be any adverse reaction anyway. Get on your little spinner before class, take a few spins and tell the nearest "in the know" hottie that you are feeling a little dizzy and could said hottie accompany you home to ensure that you do not expire on the way. Playing on the hottie's admiration for your selfless blood donation and concern for your well-being, make your move, pussy.

This is obviously my plan. But, I don't think it is going to work unless I actually make it through the spin class, seemingly unaffected. And then, at the end, feign wooziness and go into the whole just-gave-blood schtick. If I get woozy 30 seconds into the class, the hotties will think I am a pansy - admirable, but a pansy. I need to make sure I can do the hour without passing out before I go into my routine. I should have just not given blood, and then pretended that I had. Oh well, on Monday morning, a quarterback's hindsight is 20-20.

paigow was correct when she guessed that the David schmuck is an actor... here's a link to his pr profile: http://www.lacasting.com/TalentShowc...ALENTID=182971

also apparently the final average guy from the first season will be starring in the third season. not sure how that is supposed to work but the casting call is asking for attractive people. whatever.

I have my fingers onthe pulse of reality tv. I am an oracle, psychic, masterful. I blow my own mind. Go me. I also said that Adam would get his own show but that was a no brainer. Anything else you would liek to know?

Confidential to PLF:
I don't live in Minnesota, so I'm not worried personally, this is just pure good citizenship on my part: You should call them up and tell them to throw your blood away.

Evidently what doesn't happen at ACL doesn't stay at ACL. Can you tell us what else didn't happen?

Confidential to Hank: Blood crosses state lines. And I think it frequently gets separated into different component parts, which end up going different places . . . so you aren't safe. Mwhahahahahaha.
