Now that's a dealbreaker. At least they weren't Calvin Klein, but still.

So have you dated more gay guys or guys who own black jeans? Not that they are necessarily mutually exclusive.

Would it be wrong to dealkill a guy for having a southern accent and referring to me as a Yankee? While using words like peripatetic and being prone to renaming every re line even after I passive aggressively implied that it is really not an endearing habit, if he is a really sweet and cutish guy? Why do people have to rewrite re lines on every email anyway? Is it a control thing? Is he anal? Does he have to try that hard to be funny? is it all a bad [JOKE]? Is this just the beginning of a lifetime of stting at the proverbial coffee table reading the NYT while he cracks his knuckles and chews gum? Am I just too shallow here?

1. No. "Yankee" is annoying.

2. Who cares about email. I don't even read re lines. I just hit reply.

3. Yes, he is anal. Sounds like a closeted gay civil war buff. I date one of those once. Run.

4. I fucking hate gum chewers. If you must look like bovine, go buy some Skoal and at least get a little nicotine hit for your work.

I dated a boy from South Carolina once whose mother liked me so much she referred to me as the "YANKEE JEW WHORE". To my face. Seriously.

That, my friends, was a deal breaker.

New Board Motto- where the yankee jew whores are./

Bullshit. That's like wearing jorts. Nobody does that.

True as the day is long. The trick is to be a slacker and succeed. And it can be done. You'll never be Rupert Murdoch, but you'll do allright if you know how to work it. The older I get, the more I realize perception and image are more important than reality. Present yourself as a driven Dale Carnegie go-getter and ye shall be one... I find the whole phenomenon of succeeding in this and other similar professions so utterly arbitrary its laughable, and a bit pathetic. I learned a while ago that people mistake my loathing for intensity and think its a sign that I'm dedicated. The more tantrums I throw, the more they seem to think I'm working my ass off, while the quiet guy who's really into this shit is getting yelled at for being apathetic. Law's a great field for manipulators... 99% of lawyers can't read other people for shit.

Ding ding ding, we have a winner!

Welcome to the club SD!

None of my gay friends would be caught dead in black jeans. Not even the lesbians.

I'm confused. You seem to know where the Mason Dixon line is, but yet you don't know where Yankees come from?

Youre not confused, you are mistaken.

Let me amend the new board motto. Where the Yankee Jew Whores and Closted Gay Civil War Buffs with Black Jeans hang.

I can think of no gay male alive on this planet who'd be caught dead in anything that is a required part of a TGIFriday's uniform.

I dont think Dr. Peripatetic ...

He also ccalls himself a cognitive minority.

As to the first, just what did he say exactly? What was he trying to say?

As to the second (and this may obviate any need to answer the above questions), if he's saying what you seem to imply he's saying (viz. I'm smarter than most everyone ...), what a freakin' tool. It's one thing to think it (unbecoming as it may be to have such thoughts...), it's completely another to announce it. It doesn't work on so many levels (very much unlike "Man Getting Hit in Crotch with Football").

I couldn't make this shit up. He actually called me to tell me when he would pick me up (we were going to a comedy club for gods sake, not anywhere fancy) and I said "can I wear my jeans?" and he acted offended. He was like "well, I'm dressing nice-casual."

To me, "nice casual" means slacks and a shirt (no jeans or t-shirts). If he said "I'm dressing redneck mullet-sporting Nascar-watching nice-casual" then maybe I would have expected the black jeans he showed up in (yeah, I ended the sentence in two prepositions, kill me).

What are "jorts"?

Please describe the rest of the outfit. And what brand were they? Did they have a tapered leg? Did he wear his good white sneakers? A comb in the back pocket?

I can think of one. But he is in the closet.

Given that black is the new black, again (or has it changed again, DS?), what if someone wanted to wear all black all the time.....are they then barred from wearing jeans..black jeans? Or in that case is it okay to wear black jeans?

They should really add this to the SAT verbal section.
