What was that business about Hottie Chad being a San Francisco guy? NTTAWWT

More Space







I think Erin's friend meant he's not special (they live in SF). Her friend kept telling her to take the money take the money take the money and not worry about anything else.

Chad will pick the money over her, because he is already suspicious that something is going on. She is clearly not into Wade, and I frankly have no idea why she eliminated Rob, except that she seems incredibly suspicious of everyone and their motives. This sounds like a life issue as much as a show issue.

I gotta ask - intentional pun?

(If so, I like it.)

What does TCB stand for?


My best place has to be in a hot, dusty old attic. I was living in a house with 5 other people, and two of us started seeing each other. We were hiding our relationship so that it's wouldn't weird others out, plus it made for hotter sex. (Of course, they all eventually found out.) We hadn't really been in the attic much, and I was pretty amazed how disgusting it was. REALLY thick layers of dust. We just stood up, her in front of me, and I leaned my hand against a pole, which was the only part of either of our bodies (besides our feet) that touched anything in that attic. It was totally hot, and then we snuck into the shower together.

Some of the best sex I've ever had.


P.S. "Dat be in the butt, Bob" is a common urban legend, but it happens to be true: http://www.snopes.com/radiotv/tv/newlywed.htm

Don't concur on Rob. I think Aaron genuinely felt she couldnt put him through the humliation of taking the money twice on national tv, plus he is a creepy stalker with an unbearable monotone. Better for him to cut his losses then get his hopes up. I think she feels sorry for him, as she should bc man is he a loser. How can someone so hot be so ugly?

As for Wade, I didnt watch this from the beginning but I get this totally unctuous vibe from him. Do men in Texas regularly call chicks "sweetheart"? Why not say "hi generic girl whose name I cant remember"? Yuck. I will pretend to myself that my Matthew Mconnaughey would never do such a thing.

My theory on the SF man thing would be that as SF is where the most beautiful straight men in the country migrate and where they have the male female ration advantage, so they cannot really be taken serioulsy for a LTR unless they are already married. In other words,playa playa. I totally didnt get what you got. Anyone else have a theory on this? Chad is fucking A hot and is out of Aaron's league (unless she grows in her eyebrows, loses the eye shadow and develops some personality) so of course he takes the money.

Yeh, but its more than that. There's a stupid culture among many of the "Shanty Irish" which reinforces blue collar values. You'll see very few WASPS or Jews waxing nostalgic about living in row homes with armies of underfed children. And you'll never see a sensible Jew or WASP follow blindly the edicts of his faith (fundamentalists from both groups excluded). Catholicism is uniquely evil in its goal of keeping its followers down and beholden to its guidelines. What other religion preaches that the poorer you are, the better you are, yet keeps its own 10 billion-plus capitalized bank?

I recognize very well why the folks at the golf course did not want my kind so many years ago, and although it sounds awful, I can't disagree with them. We needed to grow up and it took a few generations for the better of us to develop the independence of thought necessary to interact properly in society.

S(sounds awful, bit its truer than the second hand on my watch)D

Anal sex standing up in a filthy hot room? Huh.

Its perfect. The trashier guests and family (i.e. the rabble rousing riff raff) get served the Charles Shaw, while I have hidden bottle of Silver Oak in the kitchen chillin' (figuratively) that I use to hit my glass. On the down lo. sts.

The lesson: when you come to my house make sure I'm filling your wine glass out of the same bottle as I'm filling mine. FWIW, another bad sign is, if you don't crystal and then its probably Chuck.

True, but what really got him ticked was when he found out where yo mama had put it. A cigar is one thing but a marble rye?

Small dick lawyers who think that they make their dicks look bigger by either 1) having their secretary do their outgoing voicemail message or 2) (the worst) doing their own voicemail message but referring to themselves in the third person. As in, Thurgreed doing a voicemail saying "You have reached the office of Thurgreed Marshall. Mr. Marshall is unable to take your call at the moment. Please leave a message and Mr. Marshall will promptly return your call."

If you want your dick to look bigger, do your own first person voicemail and shave your balls.

As to the procreation thing, ... it appears the less dough you have the bigger the family you have...

From something I read rather recently, this observation is more or less true, but the cause/effect is in doubt. They've known for 20-30 years that the best predictor of future economic hardship for a given household is the number of dependant children, to an extent that blows race, education and current economic status away. But it isn't clear if people already disadvantaged by lower social class, lower economic status or lower educational attainment choose to have more children, or if instead people who have more children suffer economic distress, loose social status and achieve lower educational levels (largely due to the family's time and economic resources being more thinly spread over many). Not that the two are mutually exclusive, of course.

There have also been lots of studies of why children from large families (whether extended or "lots of children" types) have much more trouble succeeding in higher education, which sociologists generally believe stems from their usually being socialized from a young age to accept authoritarian power and social structures (which are common in large families, simply because they are necessary to maintain order). Kids from large families often have difficulty interacting with "superiors" (i.e.: teachers) as fallable (or inferior) equals, are more used to being told what to do than thinking about what they want to do for themselves, and tend to associate self-assertion (and particularly intellectual self-assertion, which is much more threatening to the legitimacy of an entrenched authority than simple ornrieness or aggressiveness) with punishment rather than praise; whereas children from small families have usually learned that a thoughtful argument or negotiation can often convince an authority figure to change its mind. I haven't read anything that correlating Catholicism with the "accepting hierarchical authoritarianism" educational issue, but I suppose you can draw your own conclusions.

We've really sort of developed our own form of cockney rhyming slang here, haven't we?

Except, without the rhyming part.

Leagl: could we get a "commonly used acronyms/terms" page? Or have someone compile them all in one place in a post others can link to?

I used to work for a partner that refused to make a telephone call. He would have his secretary make all calls and then have the caller hold for a minute or two before he'd pick up the phone. I'm pretty sure he read some management / power book in the 70s that told him that was the appropriate way to establish control over the conversation. The first time he did it to me, I hung up on him.
