[regifting story]

We got regifted. A not-too-close friend from high school who invited me to her wedding a few months before sent us a Tiffany's cake cutter and server thingie. It was wrapped very nicely, except when we opened it, there was a card inside that said, "Mr. and Mrs. NotMarshall, We hope your life together is [blah, blah, yada.]"

I called her to ask her why she sent me one of her gifts and she said, "Oh, sorry. But what's the big deal? It's a nice gift, right?"

We haven't spoken since. Bitch.

This Christmas, everybody on the FB is getting a bottle of Charles Shaw from me. From the heart.

Just what Penske needs: 484 bottles of Charles Shaw.

Str8, you either need to have your ass kicked but good, or you are very good at pretending to be a prick.

And you obviously can't handle the truth but thanks for playing I guess when you hail from the House of Buttufuaco you may not realize it has nothing to do with new england. They are blue collar jobs that dont require a degree. Res Ipsa Diquitor. Get over it. He didnt say there was anything unheroic or bad about being a cop or fireman.

On a totally unrelated note, did anyone see the commercial about the Flower losing its Power? Ironic.

Paigow, why do you need to jump to str8's defense? Because he used a term that you use yourself? Did you think that I was attacking you? My comment to str8 didn't spring solely from that asinine post. Nevertheless, I do wonder why my simple comment to him leads you to make assumptions about my background.

Interesting.

Granted, after spending another fabulous long weekend way past the Land of Buttafuaco on the LIE where auto mechancis are kings and money men work in boiler rooms, with all the psuedos, hasbeens and wannabes, I will admit I have not caught up but randomly read that one post and no others in the thread. But I saw you get on him for calling cops and firemen prole jobs, which they are (as are most nondegreed jobs besides being JHo), and I thought your post evidenced a certain hostility towards New Englanders and people who know proles in general, and that had to put yuou in the 718, 201, 516 or some other similarly Buttafuocoesque area code. Sorry if I was way off and you really are some Denis Learyesque 212 via 617.

Edited to clarify that I did not take your post as a personal attack or respond to come to the defense of ole Hot Topix, but rather to correct a phallacy without basis on your part. That's what I do. Dont hate me becauase my social observation skills are Tom Wolfe meets John Irving. They are just spot fucking on and I thought you needed the help.

Actually, they increasingly do. I've got both in the family.

Oh, well, of course, that makes perfect sense.

Absolutely -- it's a gift, and you should not expect the host to use the gift that night, rather than saving it.

But people don't necessarily recognize this...

Penske's dad gets all bent out of shape when you don't put out his marble rye.

See, that was just stupid - she should have said "what? How hilarious, they must have confused the giver and the recipient's names when they wrote out the card! Hahahaha."

That's what I would have done. Then again, I would also have sneakily opened and checked it to ensure there was no enclosed card before regifting.

So you are saying that you need a degree from a four year instittution to be a fireman or a cop? And that these jobs cannot be prole jobs bc they have always required this? What next? A phd to take orders to do political assasinations?

You think we hire just anyone?

There are two possible explanations:

(A) Girls into hip hop are generally more attractive than girls into indie/college/alternative music.

(B) Girls from Northern California are hotter than girls from Southern California.

I have to agree that, for the most part, the answer is A. Hippie indie alternative is often not an attractive look, sometimes involves unpleasant odors, and may be claimed to cover for what is really a lack of effort.

However, B may be true as well, once you have weeded out the northern CA hippie chicks by focusing on the hip hop crowd. The lack of effort reflected in many indie/hippie looks is not in practice much better than the widespread trying-too-hard looks I've frequently seen on forays to southern CA.

I re-gift wine all of the time. What they don't know won't hurt them. Of course, you can't re-gift to the same people who gifted you in the first place, but that's just common sense.

Also, showing up at a cocktail party with a bucket of KFC may seem funny at the time, but the host usually doesn't appreciate it (even if she understands that it's a joke). Of course, every other guy at the party skipped the cheese and crackers and chowed the chicken legs, but I digress...

The Pete Sampras thing=
John McEnroe is a total narcissist- and had to make it all aobut him.
Jim Courier totally phoned it in, but I was touched by the "hey man, give me a hug, man"
Boris Becker- has evolved into the very definition of Eurotrash. Yet strangely, I would still do him.

Tennis Yoko- maybe it is true that women get unattractive after they have a baby for some biological reason ( I mentioned that I heard this theory a while back). She has gone from nondescript Nicole Brown Simpson bleached blond lookalike but still pretty in that middleamerica, being a bleached blond with black eyebrows and brown eyes is the only way I know how to be pretty way, to just being a nondescript Nicole Brown Simpson lookalike. I redub her, the luckiest girl in the world. Oregon beauty pageant veteran goes to Hollywood to be a star, does a schlock movie with French Stewart called Love Stinks, and gets put together by Sampras's agent when Sampras actually sees this POS. Does one get luckier than that? We hate her.
And strangely, the Agassi baby is cuter, but I cannot explain how that baby is so cute.

For Love or Money. SPOILER








I just praise the Sweet Lord Jesus that I will never have to hear that creepy monotone drone ever again. Though I get the feeling he might not be above stalking Aaron (why is her name pronounced like this?). Erin looks like an overplucked Julia Roberts doesnt she? What was that business about Hottie Chad being a San Francisco guy? NTTAWWT
