always act cool. make offhand asides; be confident! and, remember, if a convo isn't going your way tell the other person they're stupid or boring and need to start wearing a helmet.

I see from your avatar that you finally picked up a helmet.

But if you think the conversation between us was ever not going my way, it's too tight.

Judging from her outfit and from Dieter standing behind her, it was clearly taken during her Sprocket phase.

Mo Rocca really is ubiquitous.

[spree - wedding photo of GB and BB]

Actually when you look at the wedding photo, they are about the same level of attractiveness. She just didn't age as well.

Here's a nugget:

Author Florence notes that while bosses may date, flings are destructive. And above all, if an employee says no, don't keep asking. That is harassment. The owners of small companies may well perceive a worker almost like a peer, not recognizing--or
respecting--the gap in power. But "remember that other people believe their job security and personal well-being rest on your
whims," says Florence. "You're the boss, and people look up to you."

Garry Mathiason, an attorney in the San Francisco office of Littler Mendelson(an employment and labor law firm that represents management), came up with a novel way to minimize the fallout. His suggestion: Sign a "love contract." These agreements stipulate that a relationship is voluntary, and that any subsequent disputes will be resolved through mandated arbitration. Though Mathiason admits that the pacts are "about as romantic as a prenuptial agreement," he has drafted more than 500 of them so far.

Watching Conan the last two nights has led me to conclude that Canadians must not spend a lot of time in large groups outside of hockey games. WTF is up with all of the hooting and spontaneous yelling? It's distracting and (I think) uncharacteristic of the Canadians I've met (most from Winnipeg; YMMV). When they cut to the audience, it's clear there's no one over 25 in the entire place and fully ⅓ of them are wearing hockey jerseys. Can the CC (thanks, str8) confirm they all think it's appropriate to give private shout-outs in the middle of a live-to-tape show, beyond the 30-second grace period after the host enters for the monologue? People who go to a taping in NYC are by definition tourists, so it can't be that the home audience is more blasé than tourists generally are. I would have assumed Americans would be bigger asses.

Your comments are duly noted and given the attention that they deserve.

oh, and it's the Leafs just because. We know it's unsound and don't really care. One of the things that no one should get too worked up about. But they are owned by the Ontario Teachers Pension Plan. I can't imagine they're too fond of the error. You might want to get on a letter to them.

Would they have to arbitrate the "she won't do anal" thing?

What if she shoved a greasy carrot up his ass? Could he sue for damages or would the amount of damages have to be arbitrated?

Apropos of nothing, I am in love with the chick in the Labatt's commercial who gives the bear a maple leaf tie as a gift.

Oh, and perhaps you ought to change your location to "with your husband."

Not if she were being hit on by my heathen "married" friends. Only Wonk opens with: "my wife thinks you're really hot."

I once dated a married man. I didn't know he was married -- no ring, called me all the time in the evening, took me public places, paid with a credit card, his secretary knew me by name. In short, he did everything one would do to establish a paper trail.

Unless you ask, and sometimes, like my situation when you do ask and they lie, you just never know.

That's because Wonk believes in total honesty when it comes to his infidelity and deception. Although he generally avoids speaking of himself in the third person.

Between this and the tax/sex thing on the PB, you're becoming a real killjoy.

There's no point in helping you out breeder, there's no hope for you.

You are one stone cold bitch sometimes.

That's why I love you and have always refrained from mentioning the night you "slipped" and wound up with your tongue in a couple of guys' ears. But WTF, if Mr. Hand can't keep his damn mouth shut....

* I know it's not fugee. Just couldn't pass that up.

That's cold, buster.

But when the shoe fits.........you know it wasn't me because, if I knew the one-L, I'd have told her he was married right away and would be asking for advice on whether to confront the GP.

I have been to Chicago, and I'm really curious as to where it is that you spend all your time that you are surrounded by really hot people such that normally not-unattractive/well-groomed people are deemed hideous. Because I certainly didn't get that impression of the place.

This would go for whereever Hankie is and Pittsburg or Harrisburg or whatever for SD and various other places.

We only let certain people into the beautiful part of Chicago...


Seinfeld: "Elaine, what percentage of people would you say are good-looking?"

Julia Louis-Dreyfus: "Twenty-five percent?"

Seinfeld: "Twenty-five percent?"

Louis-Dreyfus: "Um-hmm."

Seinfeld: "No way! It's like four-to-six percent. It's a 20-to-1 shot."

Louis-Dreyfus: "You're way off."

Seinfeld: "Way off?"

Louis-Dreyfus: "Yeah."

Seinfeld: "Have you been to the motor vehicle bureau? It's a leper colony down there."

Louis-Dreyfus: "So, basically, what you're saying is 95 percent of the population is un-date-able?"

Seinfeld: "Un-date-able!"

Louis-Dreyfus: "Then how are all these people getting together?"

Seinfeld: "Alcohol."


So, what percentage do you guys/gals think?

Within a few years of my age, I'd say:

2%--stunning.
10%-- very easy on the eyes.
the rest--ranging from nothing special to downright horrifying..
