The only scenario where I can envision this is if you were with someone hung like the monster unit who enjoyed holding off as much as, and as long as, Sting.

But the soreness is kinda nice.

Of course, NO ONE is really that funny on SportsCenter anymore. Everyone tries WAY too hard to say something cool. Chris Berman stopped being funny in the '90s. Stuart Scott is the Carlton of sports. ALL OF THE NEW GUYS SUCK.

The commercials are still funny.

Baseball Tonight is still excellent, even though Pete Gammons needs to take his lips off the BoSox's collective dick and actually report on one of the other 27 MLB teams.

What became of former laminated list member, Kenny Mayne? I knwo he did two minute drill, which was a waste of his skillz. Is that even on anymore?

Why not just email me. @work because that is where I live now.

I like the real time feel of IM. Plus, we can invite Thurgod and Pretty Little Petals into conferences and discuss sock strategy

I was in London one night with my friend Brit
Walkin' throught the streets of Soho in the rain
We was lookin' for a place called Lee Ho Fook's
Got a big dish of beef chow mein.

Remember the Betty Bowers site from prior conversations? Well she's been busy upgrading her site since we last discussed it.

But of all the things I saw, this made me laugh the most:

[NYT article on teenage girls and younger dressing like sluts.]

Query: how sluttish are some of the fashions actually described? spaghetti-strap tank tops? Camis with built in bras? I wear stuff like that all the time. Is that supposed to be somehow worse than the tube tops I ran about in (braless) in the waning years of the '70s? Is this just another version of the "oh, we're fuckin' boomers, this shit never happened to anyone before" schtick? I mean, you want to talk about scandalous and provocative clothing rebellion among the young, check out 1918-1928 when they were running about BOBBING THEIR HAIR AND WEARING SHEER STOCKINGS !!!

I have dropped Princess Wonk off at HS a couple of times in the last week or two, and picked her up a couple of times as well.

I find it very scary that so many of these little girls look like they are on the stroll. I don't think I'm being overly prudish to say that it should take more than a mild breeze to get a panty shot from a 14 year old girl. Especially if said 14 year old is wearing a floss thong.

I think the same thing can be said of the transparent top over black bra look. Girls who are barely past puberty aren't supposed to look like they're hunting for a hookup.

Don't these girls have parents? Thank God the Princess is fairly modest and goes for the preppy look.

Shit.

I was going to write a minireview of his album this morning as I finally got to listen to it this weekend. I'll write a shorter one: go buy it.

An excellent, if randomly sourced, obit:

Or if you work 10-12 hours per day, go home and immediately start cooking and cleaning for your family, have a child under the age of 10 to contend with (feed, homework, bath, bedtime story, returning him to bed 12 times between 8:30 and 9:00 pm) and are plain ass tired by the time you sit down for the first time at 10:00 pm which is about the time that your spouse (who rises at 5:00 am to go to work) is heading off to get some sleep.

But I always have you FBers to live through vicariously.

Oh god are you a wimp. Whine whine whine. Hoooney I can't find time to fuck, I have to cook dinner, clean the house and take care of the babies.

Well aren't you selfish?

Here's the thing, though. I don't doubt that these girls look like sluts to you parental types, and that any girl who looked like that when you were their age would be caned, &c &c. What I doubt is that they, in general, look any more sluttish to your eyes than many of your friends' clothing did to their own parents when you were their age. Except now you are the generation out of date and out of touch with what actually qualifies as looking slutty for a 14 year old. I don't believe that the generational-clothing-gap is any greater now than it ever was - this is not a new development, just the current version of the same old thing. And, compared to some past generational-clothing shifts, this seems pretty mild. The move from bikini knickers to a thong is vastly less shocking than, say, the abandonment of girdles and corsets, girls adopting trousers, the replacement of petticoats with hoops, or the advent of the lingere dress around the turn of the century. Never mind skirts that showed ankle (or even calves!) and dresses with low backs (which, at the time, was much more scandalous than appearing with your breasts exposed - those had been more or less exposed for centuries).

That's why I never learned to cook and clean. Voila! Plenty of time.

1.) Yay Texans! I didn't turn on the game until the second half and I was shocked, shocked I say!, to find the Texans not only in the game, but winning.

2.) I saw a commercial the other day for a video of all the bresticle shots from a variety of movies spanning at least three decades. All on one tape, so no need to fast forward or check out a crap movie just for the boobs. I thought of the recent discussion on the FB regarding the advent of PG-13/decline of R, and figured that someone on this board may want to part for their precious $19.95 for the tape.

3.) Taking life isn't as hard as you'd think, but I'm all scratched up as a result. Gardening can be a bicth.

4.) I'm wondering if I made the right choice in declining to go on a cruise to no where this weekend. One of the cruise ships out of Galveston came in late, and they were going to do a mini cruise that left on Saturday at four, went out to sea, turned around and returned this morning at eight and were charging $100 for it. I didn't find out about it until abotu noonish on Saturday, and the posse that was sort of developing to go wasn't quite formed. I wonder if anyone made it.

Ok, that was more than a couple.

Gammons is a god. He knows everything about baseball. And I like when they report on Boston because I love watching Boston fans get all excited and then watch as they shoot themselves in the face every September.

You know who's good? Tony Gwynn. Well spoken. And actually adds to conversations with <gasp> real baseball knowledge that is informative and current. They should replace that jackass Valentine with him.

TM

Don't get me wrong, I like Gammons. I just wish he'd talk about MY team more.

And Gwynn is great. Bobby Valentine is a moron. Bring back Buck. Harold Reynolds just cracks me up, and nothing soothes me more than Joe Morgan's voice, even if he sometimes belongs in the department of redundancy department with Mr. Obvious...

7 hours maybe. But no way I can have sex for 9 hours. Straight.
