I have to admit that I was prepared to disagree with your post, just like I have your other posts on this subject, but then you won me over with this rhetorical tour de force! "Everyone who's posted on this topic knows I'm mainly correct." Brilliant! I must concur. In fact, I think I'll use this trick in my next brief. It'll start, "Bitch, please. Everyone who's argued in this court knows I'm mainly correct. Et cetera . . . ."

THis was your best post ever. Either I am in a really good mood today, or people are on fire. Leagl and EO also ahd personal bests today in the humor category.

ANd you know I am mainly correct about this. Can we make this the motto please? "Everyone who's posted on this topic knows I'm mainly correct."

Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Right Penske? (somebody will swing at this meatball...)

They have a liner (like a bathing suit).

Well, you've been arguing on the PB like that for ages already. Why stop there?

Why is that everyone feels compelled to affirm and proclaim their own sense of security?

I don't.

WASHINGTON, July 30 — President Bush said Wednesday he has government lawyers working on a law that would define marriage as a union between a woman and a man, casting aside calls to legalize gay marriages. “I BELIEVE MARRIAGE is between a man and a woman and I believe we ought to codify that one way or the other and we have lawyers looking at the best way to do that,” the president said a wide-ranging news conference at the White House Rose Garden.
“I am mindful that we’re all sinners and I caution those who may try to take a speck out of the neighbor’s eye when they got a log in their own,” the president said. “I think it is important for our society to respect each individual, to welcome those with good hearts.”

Can someone please explain to me what that last bit means. I've read it a couple of times and I just don't get it.

Bitch, please.

btw, does the Apple site let you download to a PC? Alternately, do any of the sites that do let you download to a PC let you transfer from there to an iPod?

I hang my head in shame, I am so so sorry, I don't know what I was thinking. I'm really very tired. (Enough groveling?)

Boxers have neverf been shown with skidmarks on the tube. So now, ladies not only think "caldor ad" when they see a man in manpanties, they think skidmarks.

For a contrary view, we turn now to Carson Kressley: "Boxers are hot, and by boxers I mean guys who box, not the underwear. So get rid of 'em!"

(Please note: I wouldn't dress like Carson, even for Halloween.)

Jai is the gayest man on the show. Discuss.

Here is a simple rule I think we can all agree on.

Boxers are hot for straight men
Hybrids are hot for gay men
Man panties are standard for your dad.

I don't watch reality TV, since Survivor year 1. Don't mean anything by that statement other than to support a knowledge gap. Saw this show with 4 kids trying to find a new wife for dad, with 4 women late 30 maybe 40's sleeping in a common bedroon indad's house. I had many questions about it, and hoped you all would be writing about it, but there is apparent silence. Is this because its so beneath the other shows you don't watch it? are there simply too many to keep up with?

Now this show is so utterly atrocious that it is cool to watch. The dialogue sounds scripted, the edting is stilted, and the emotional tugs are embarassing to even watch. This show has been on and off with different families and slight variations all summer.

I have only seen the current version once.

My dad wore boxers - I find them unsexy.

The only thing that I would add is that, on the right straight man (like, for example, the Abercrombie & Fitch twins) magic underpants (hybrids) are wonderful.

This just seemed soo appropriate, tying together the Onion (except it's apparently a real story) and fat people:

"Four-hundred pounds of gorgonzola ravioli in unmarked bags. That's supposedly the ransom demand from the kidnappers of "Fat Boy," a seven-foot-high fiberglass chef statue that was swiped from in front of an Italian restaurant on Cape Cod. "

from http://wcco.com/water/watercooler_story_210122445.html

Or how about: JFK's boxers on display. "The white cotton underwear, dating from Kennedy's early career as a U.S. naval officer in World War II, went on display Tuesday in the window of a central Dublin menswear shop."

Please, allow me to put on my homophobe translation goggles for you.

Ok. Here we go.

It is politically correct not to bash gays, so I will make it clear that we need to respect them on one hand, but I will still bash them as sinners on the other, and make a case based upon the religious viewpoints of some that it is ok to discriminate against an entire group of people because they are different even though we are supposed to have separation of church and state, and, well, I personally could give a shit, but, it is almost an election year, I need the votes, so fuck the fags and their silly equal rights. And who cares about federalism, I'm just a republican.

Do you understand it now?

Because this attitude is shitty.

Edited to clarify that the attitude so poorly expressed by Prez is shitty.

Also to add that the phrase is biblical and basically means, don't attempt to fix the small imperfections of others when your own keep you from seeing the reality of both their imperfections and your own.
