No and no. Stop hating me because I'm beautiful.

Are you admitting then, that you suck in bed?

Oops, I lied on that one

Damn right you lied. Don't you remember the discussion we had just the other day about what's under your kilt?

I thought the question was not whether he does or does not suck, but whether he does a good job of it?

This issue is irrelevant to the lease v. buy debate --- I just wanted to address the widespread myth that the cost of keeping a old car running is an upward slope. It's not. The general trend line is flat; I think the Magliozzis found the average was about $800/yr or something for repairs and maintenance. You might not have repairs one year, and get hit for $1,600 the next, but it stays a relatively flat line.

This does not account for the decreasing value of the car, however. I think many people (at least instinctively, if not consciously) do not analize this cost as cost of repairs, but rather the cost of repairs compared to the value of the car. This ratio continuously goes up, at least until cars become collectable.

I'm not saying this is rational, but it is a corollary of viewing a car as an asset rather than an expense.

That being said, I'm going home to get the hell out of this storm before it gets any worse.

No I'm standing up as the living embodiment of the refutation of your assertion of such fallacy. You just pick the wrong self-centered beautiful people to have sex with.

I may have vomitted in a cemetery once. And may do so again, ftm.

Yes! How sweet it is!

I did. Fringey will be happy to know that a tree already has fallen across from my house. I ducked though. A scofflaw stole the street's stop sign, though, so I should be safe on that count.

Are you at HOME? This whole thing started when you were scoffing at the idea of people not going to work as usual today. But maybe that tree fell last night. If you are at home, and staying inside, then my helpful reverse psychology warnings worked. You may not like me, but I might have saved your worthless life.

On a different note, if you criticize someone's flaming style as dull or unoriginal or unimaginative, and almost immediately thereafter make a joke (about that person no less) that relies on the concepts that the person is ugly/undesirable, you don't want to have sex with her and Thurgreed's mama just confirms for everyone that you are a sucky flamer. You also seemed to be working with Wanker which is never a good thing. I don't think he's ever had more than one or two original/interesting/funny insults of me, ever. Usually they are either cliches or derivative of other peoples' funnies, like my multiple personalities and need for medication.

w/r/t the head on the platter, the bloody stop sign is on the floor; you just can't see it.

Absolutely right. And it is irrational, which is why I related it to sunk cost decision theory. Car owners regard the annual amounts already spent as expenses, not capital improvements, and rightly so. But they go on to regard past expenses + past depreciation as being part of the total cost of ownership, and weigh it against a very loose idea of present FMV to determine if they're "behind" --- in other words, "Have I already spent too much on this car, and will I just keep paying more and more in the future?" The answer is "yes," but they're combining sunk costs with an illogically inflated amount for anticipated future costs, which is a double whammy.

Nobody said it was a rational enterprise, but I wanted to deprive people of the pleasure of thinking they were saving themselves money by dumping an old car before it got really expensive to keep it running. You just bought yourself a new car with pretty much the same annual repair cost --- you're just paying for it differently (i.e., the first two, three or four years' worth is plowed into the cost of the car and probably financed).

I have a question.

If you are in bed with someone really good looking (really good looking, not just cute) and that person's technique is not all that good, do they get a pass just because they are devastatingly beautiful/handsome? Or would you criticize them to your friends just as much when they are gone as you would someone not so good looking and equally lame in bed?

Now this is the sort of topic we should have all the time...

1. How you look is part of being good in bed. I don't care how great the technique, if you're really aestehtically unpleasant, your partner ain't going to enjoy it that much. Some folks will say "I love him/her and looks don't matter to me." Bullshit. I don't doubt your deep love, but we both know you wish like hell that your partner was a lot hotter. When you're fucking, you want a hot partner, and there's no way around that fact.

2. A gorgeous chick gets a pass for being mediocre in bed, but not for being bad in bed. Just because you're hot doesn't mean you can "phone it in" all the time.

3. HOWEVER, you should NEVER tell a person before sex, especially if you're drinking and the other person is drinking, just how hot you think he/she is. Every time a chick has said she thought I was good looking I felt like I could totally "mail it in," and if I'd had a few wines with dinner, I did exactly that (although I always made sure to make up for it the next morning because karmically, handing out bad sex will bring you terrible future luck). Conversely, every chick who made me wonder whether she really dug me gave me something to prove, so I worked harder to do the best job I could. So never tell anyone you think they're really hot until after you've fucked them at least twice sober.

4. I think rule #3 only applies to guys, because it seemed that when I tell a woman how horny she makes me, she'd get more turned on, whereas guys are lazy bastards who'll use any excuse to work less.

5. Tell the guy who sucks in bed what he needs to do to fix his technique. Guys are open to that sort of criticism, and if they're not, they're insecure, and if they're insecure, they'll never be good in the sack.
