Dude.

Much like TITS!!!!!, I brought the commonly used phrase "Bitch please" to this board. Did I originate the phrase? No -- I never claimed to. Did I use it first on this board? I think so.

If you want to type "bitch, please," go ahead. However, you are offensively incorrect when you say that "bitch please" is incorrect. It is much more than correct. It is supercorrect. Says who? Says me, the Genius Known as ABBAKiss.

You got a problem with that, take it to Gene Simmons.

Good lord. Sometimes I am overcome by how much I love you.

Houston's steel and glass buildings are much nicer than the steel and glass buildings in Dallas.

But Houston has much better topless clubs. And better seafood, barbecue, Mexican, and Italian food.

To be honest, I never understood car leasing -- blame it on my desire to own things but I just can't get comfortable with renting a car. Post 9/11, with the new car interest rates hovering around 0%, I don't know why anyone would lease rather than buy. I got a $40k car at 0.9%, will pay less than $1,000 interest over 4 years and have something of value at the end that I can drive for another 5+ years for "free" and still be able to make a few grand in resale or trade-in.

Congratulations --- heck of a deal. This has been Timmied to death on the Gadgets board, but I'll put in a pitch for leasing (about which I'm ambivalent, because it depends on the role your car plays in your life, which varies by person).

The 0.9% purchase financing you obtained stands in place of a dealer rebate that you could successfully negotiate into the purchase price under a lease and obtain the same benefit, assuming you're getting a competitive money factor by shopping for leases (e.g., looking to credit unions you're eligible to join). If you can recapture the hidden dealer rebate into a lease, you might choose to lease anyway if you can negotiate the best possible a purchase price at the front end of the lease (including the rebate), and the highest possible depreciated value at the back end, that has the bank bearing the risk that the actual depreciation winds up being greater than the parties anticipated at inception. You're then putting the bank on a market risk that, as an owner, you'd be bearing. But you have to be smart about it.

Sure, you're riding the steepest depreciation curve by financing only the first two, three, or four years' worth of depreciation, but you're also bearing that depreciation if you buy and buy again in the same timeframe. Which some of us (not me) do, because our car needs change that quickly. I have a GA friend leasing an M3 which he'll be able to dump when he gets married this fall --- not perfect timing, but close --- and gets something more practical as he settles into married life. Leasing lets you drive the topless roadster for the brief window of life before you start thinking, "Hey, that Honda Odyssey isn't so bad . . . ."

Leasing can be a better financing option for people who drive less than 15,000 miles a year, who keep their cars in good shape, and who tend to get a new car every two or three years anyway, if you can get the bank to bear the risk of steeper-than-anticipated depreciation.

But I suspect when you say you "never understood car leasing," you really meant you don't fall into the above description.

Speaking of cookoffs, if anyone happens to be driving to Austin from Houston this weekend and is on 290, stop at the City Meat Market in Giddings for the best barbeque in the world. It's on the northwest corner of the intersection right before you cross the traintracks heading west. The slight detour will be more than made up for by the barbeque.

Kreuz Market in (I think) Longhart is better.

What's with the venom? People like me. They really do!

Now would be an appropriate time for all of you to weigh in with stories of your own examples of coitus interruptus, or almost coitus interruptus.

Not a particularly interesting story, but since you asked. There was one time when and ex and I were, um, between acts if you will, and things were just beginning to heat up for another round when the phone rang. I, naturally, encouraged her to ignore it and continue with the festivities. She, knowing it was her mother, insisted on answering. So much for additional rounds.

The worst part was that she felt bad about it later. So women apparently just don't have their priorities straight.

Was that a joke, or do you go commando? If you were being serious, I have new-found respect for you.

Pictures, of course, are always welcomed.

I thought it was "going commando" only if a dude was doing it. Does "going commando" apply to chicks as well?

I could do with one less.






When's he getting back, anyway?

I see. He won't fuck you, so he must be impotent.

He may have just seen her picture. I wouldn't fuck her with a stolen dick.

It does seem a rather crude phrase for something so sublime and wonderous, doesn't it?

Your moral relativism frightens and confuses me, but I'm just a caveman.

Well, using only "Friends" the TV show as reference material, the answer to your question is yes.

Otherwise, there's no really cool term to describe it.

coitus interruptus

1. Sister in law, with three year old nephew in tow, walks in on Mr. Kiss, who is "laying" on top of me on the floor of in-laws living room on New Year's Day. No blankets. No clothing. No explanation given or requested, except from nephew. No eye contact during brunch.

2. Bahamas, a few years ago. Workman who is fixing air conditioning duct in ceiling outside our room uses doorknob to balance. Doorknob turns. Man literally falls into room where Mr. Kiss is performing vacationlinguous on me. Man so stunned he doesn't move. Finally stands up, apologizes, and leaves with Mr. Kiss screaming at him and me screaming in general. Can't tell man apart from other workers in uniform becasue never focused on his face. All workers seemingly snicker at us for remainder of vacation.
