You self righteous prick, if you'd have bothered to read my ramblings you'd see that I (and BNB) were saying we bought what we bought because we liked it, and then we were making fun of other prople who didn't like what we liked. We were just being shitheadedly self-congratulatory, which is what these boards are for.

Wrong. You spend 30% of your posts talking about which brand looks stupid because some guido or wannabe upper class schmuck likes it. You associate brand names with whole classes of people and then feel all smug about it. Of course you're not going to buy any of that stuff. You wouldn't want someone to mistake you for a guido who thinks buying the two-tone Rolex will garner him some credibility.

Now let me respond for you: You caught me. I was talking out of both sides of my ass again. I use these boards to blow off some steam because I'm always flying by the seat of my pants because it's tough to always have to think on your feet. But you called me on it. And fringe is ugly.

My Ebel is a perfect pair of levi's and a white tee shirt.

My dream watch is a plain gold Ebel Beluga.

As for SO gifts, I have informed my BIL that we are going shopping on Sat. a.m. I prescouted my fave jewelry store with my sis so I can show him some things she'll like in several price ranges. He'll never know what hit him. And her birthday is in Feb. so I'll get him started on that too.

Off to watch junior varsity hockey.

I don't care what the hell the watch is really so long as it's not one of those five-hundred pound gold or silver clunkers you can barely lift your wrist under. They invariably look idiotic beside the weak manicured hands of some spoiled white-shoe lawyer.

Come to think of it, they're Hummers.

Forget that, I head down to TJ once or twice a year and purchase the most gargantuan silver faux Rolex I can find. And then partake in other, uh, entertainment, of course. But I do agree that there is a certain minimum physical stature required to wear such a beast.

My favorite acquisition is still my Yachtmaster from a few years back. Nice perpetual motion operation for less than $100, and still runs strong. And it is only slightly smaller than your average wall clock. Would make a lesser man look like Flavor Flav.

Feast your eyes, ye mortals:

Seems silly to go boating while wearing an anchor.

No, I told the sock that these jokes somehow give you the idea that its okay to joke abot women being over the hill, bc its all in jest and has no grain of truth to it whatseover.

However, the idea of three giggly thirthysomething guys on a failed quest for pussy that ended up in crazy 6am hijinx of playing on a computer was just too analagous to the early twenties kegger thing, that I could not resist.

btw, who knocked up Heidi Klum? Was it a midwestern lawyer? Or is she over 22?

I always use a condom, silly princess.

I'm buying mine a house.

Then might I suggest this:



The handiest thing that I've come across when looking for homes, especially if the SO isn't doing the walkthrough with you.

Instead of trying to explain later the size of the wood-paneled basement living room in comparison to a room in my current home, I can respond in three dimensions down to a fraction of an inch.

Of course, the device clashes with my Brietling, but compromises are unavoidable.

Someone may have already said this, but in that case you should frequent any Pizza Hut in the metropolitan area.

Those franchisees seem to have hung on to that 1980s era technology, waiting through the lean years until the nostalgia value kicked in.

Oh, I know where a few Galagas are. Good times. And much better than sitting next to some college kids playing Golden Tee. Of course, the Golden Tee World Champ made six figures last year...playing video game golf...

I'm jealous.

While we are being spelling Timmies, I would like to correct whoever typed "Varnet." That would be "Vuarnet."

And I too am hungover and my codpiece just broke.

Wrong. They're your best guardian against oafishness.

Only a woman would try to make oafishness sound bad.

Junior Cotillion has voted on its most well-mannered people of the year:

Surfer Bethany Hamilton, 13, who lost her left arm in a shark attacked, rounded out the top five. She was named "for the manner in which she handled the adversity of a shark attack."

Did I read that correctly?

No no no. You have the chicken before the egg. I feel smug about what I perceive to be my own superior tastes and associate things I don't like with repugnant stereotypes.

Now let me respond for you: Whiff. Oh, and you're a race baiter.

PS: You're becoming PLFesque. I honestly can't tell where the sarcasm starts and the earnestness ends, but I surmise, neither can you.

PS2: Upon further review, your last paragraph was pretty funny.

Ms. dL is one of 3 sisters. I know exactly how you feel. At least none of them lives within 500 miles...
