C'mon in. Mind the first step into the hot tub. It can get slippery.

Veal kabobs, all around please. And any other oppressed animal food we can think of.

Frankly, I'd just like a martini. (which reminds me...I had the most delicious cantelope martini several weeks ago. I know it sounds disgusting but it actually taste just like fresh cantelope. oooh...me want one now.....)

Thurgreed and I realized we were having two different conversations and resolved them through IM.

I have no clue what Bilmore realized, but we too resolved through other than on board means. I didn't get his joke as a joke, and was even less amused by his reaction to my not getting it as a joke. He was hurt because he figured I should have known it was a joke which is why he reacted the way in which he did.

This is an old story.

Person makes joke.

Other person doesn't get joke and reacts.

Person who made joke instead of saying, oops sorry, it was just a joke, didn't mean offense, makes a sarcastic or obnoxious response that you have no sense of humor or what have you because you didn't get the obviously funny joke you should have gotten, you moron, or you PC person or you whatever.

This further irritates.

Argument results.

Clarity occurs.

End of argument.

We could short cut this all if the person making the joke would simply recognize that when you make a joke, sometimes it won't be received as you intended and the response of the individual is a valid response to a joke that backfired. It doesn't require a lack of sense of humor, it doesn't require someone being overly PC. What it requires is that at that point in time the joke just rubbed the person the wrong way. This is the risk of joke telling. Happens to all of us.

Say oops and move on.

It isn't a big deal.

However the whole Bilmore/TM thing is a bit different. Y'all have been fighting for how many years now? It is sort of like bacon and eggs you two fighting. We're just used to it.

Flirting advice from NY's Museum of Sex:

"go to a restaurant, head for the bathroom, take off your panties and put them on your date's plate."

I'm not sure how I would respond to this gesture. I can see either being turned on or pissed off. It would depend on the restaurant. It would depend on the woman. It would depend on what's in the Depends. I heartily approve of other suggestions:

"Tips were given on an exercise regimen aimed at keeping pelvic muscles in good shape and a recommendation for making eye contact with one's partner during oral sex."

I don't mind it. But the way I see it, the horse has been led to water and refused to drink, and is dead now.

Love the avatar by the way. Have you ever played the King of the Hill Paintball game on Shockwave? The sound effects make the game.

Oops. RT (not RP). Apologies.

I will definitely check out the paintball.

But I have a soft spot for this movie because I went to it not having a clue that it was about Beowulf, and so I had a surprising blast.

I really liked this movie a lot, because I went in having no idea what it was about and was pleasantly surprised to find Beowolf pretty much set exactly as I had envisioned the book back when I read it the first time in seventh grade.

Holy cow, I saw this episode! Doc also made a pass at a fetching young woman and Gopher did something goofy.

Hilarity ensued.

If a woman is wearing Depends, I can pretty much guarantee that I won't have sex with her, no matter how "flirty" she gets.

You can add "The Rules of Attraction" to the list of movies made of Bret Easton Ellis novels that really, really sucked. Good lord that was horrid, even though expectations were already low.

USE FUCKING PM ALREADY!

Since you obviously know we're all bored by this conversation, given your heading, continuing it in public serves no purpose. Throw us a bone here, and hit next for us BY USING PM

Oh, stop fucking whining. It would take 97% less energy to scroll past it than posting this stupid complaint took. Besides, no less than 6 people IMed or PMed me to express their views on the argument, so kiss my ass.

TM

Edited to add that I'm amazed that you followed up your first idiotic post (quoting my whole post and taking up space) asking me not to take up space with another idiotic post that says the same exact stupid thing.

May I suggest "SKIP IF YOU'RE SICK OF TM V. BILMORE" for a board motto someday.

Doesn't have to be today. It can be any day. But I don't plan on skipping.

That's why I hate PM's. Now I have no idea which six people I should be arrogant to in the future.

Fuck em. I'll just be arrogant to everybody. Inconsequential little pricks.

I love this quote..."Think of new ways to flirt with the person you've been with for a long time," said former stripper Ducky Doolittle, who has made a career of educating women about physical pleasures."

Can a stripper named Ducky really make a living?

You're not including me on that list are you?
