You can lead a chubby horse to a post but you can't make her comprehend it.

Shame they don't McNuggets in a 40 pack. Ordering 4 ten packs is so gauche.

Paisley is sweet. And Fringe although I get on her last nerve is nice to me as well.

The new fries are OK if you eat them within 60 seconds of getting them out of the frier.

Hallelujah

Jesus and Satan recently had an ongoing argument about who was better on his computer... They had been going at it for days, and God finally said, "I'll have a test that will run two hours and I will judge who does the better job." So down Satan and Jesus sat at the keyboards and typed away. They moused. They did spreadsheets. They wrote reports. They sent faxes and e-mail. They sent out e-mail with attachments. They downloaded. They made cards. They did it all. But ten minutes before their time was up, lightning suddenly flashed across the sky, thunder rolled, the rain poured and, of course, the electricity went off. Satan stared at his blank screen and screamed every curse word known in the underworld. Jesus just sighed. The electricity finally flickered back on, and each of them restarted their computers. Satan started searching frantically, screaming "It's gone! It's all gone! I lost everything when the power went out!" Meanwhile, Jesus quietly started printing out all of his files from the past two hours. Satan observed this and became irate."Wait! He cheated. How did he do it?"God shrugged and said "Jesus saves."

And I'm still waiting for your list of "friends" that keep you posting here. If dtb and RT are on this list, I would love to see posts from them saying that they think that your comments about bnb, myself, RP, GWNC and other females on the board focusing on our age, single status, divorced status, childless status, etc. are appropriate and insightful.

But I think most of your posts are, wherever possible, self-satisfied and misogynistic. And whatever else. I'm just polite and easily amused (sorry, barely).

It's whatever, Fringe, but you don't pile on hard like the rest of em.

2. I've been told by many people that I'm too nice, and it's probably true. I'm very rarely deliberately mean to people.

Remember when she was just vapid? How far she's come in such a short while...

No. But you can have a good chuckle by giving her the virtual "thumbs up, fatty" signal.

That's ok. I don't care if people are nice to her on the board. I'm pissed at the people who are encouraging her off the board to keep posting because they know she's a joke but are amused by the fury that she generates in dumbasses like me who actually still respond to her more vitriolic posts. Those people know who they are and they aren't brave enough to post on the board about how much they like her and what great friends they are.

To Whom It Applies;

Did 40 bother you? I am already sick of people asking me whether it feels different, or how I feel about it. I answer - truthfully - that I really don't notice or care because I am mentally arrested at 23 or 25 (and emotionally probably younger), and have a mental physical self-image that is also somewhat outdated, often to my surprise when I see pictures of myself.

But that's the fact. I don't feel that much more decrepit, mature, or wizened. And I expect I will feel the same in another ten years. Is it me? I know that I am unusual (read "freak") in many ways, but still I wonder whether I am that unusual.

And here's my newest example - I was watching the Daily Show "Global Edition" on CNN at a B&B in Ireland where I had a sink in my room, but the toilet in the hall, and Stewart randomly says "Sometimes You Just Have To Pee In The Sink." I was in the common room and could barely prevent myself from not losing it. Because it is so fucking true - and its not just me, its most men, but it doesn't get discussed - so each of us thinks we are the creep, the weirdo, the outlier, when it is actually that we are all stuck with our inner 19-year old who occasionally rises out of the hindbrain and says "Dude, that sink is just the right height, pee, and then run the water and no one in this sound-leaky building will know you did anything other than brush your teeth."

And we get an inner, secret, satisfying thrill from that. I just got away with peeing in the sink. I may be 40 in years, god-knows-what in body, but I am, and will always be, an adolescent in many ways.

LessinSF
I didn't give a rat's ass about turning 40. It was another birthday. I had my birthday reuben. I went out for a couple martinis. My wife baked me brownies.

On peeing in the sink. Many years ago, National Lampoon ran this bit in their Letters From the Editors:

Dear Sirs:

People may say he's not a gentleman but it's not true. He always takes the dishes out of the sink before he pisses in it.

I'll have to test that theory in a couple weeks.
