Now there's a woman who is comfortable with her body. Best google photo search all day.

By the way, I put a fantastic photo of her up on the adult board.

Based on what I saw on google, I now need to see the photo of her posted by TM to the adult board.

Can someone please give me the secret password, or teach me the handshake, or whatever?

You just want to be involved and are mad because Sleestaks are quite comfortable being naked.

Damn you! If I have to be singing this in my head, you all have to be too.

Met the greatest earthquake ever known.
High on the rapids it struck their tiny raft.
And plunged them down a thousand feet below.
To the Laaaaaaaaaaand of the Lost."

you all have to imagine it. Man in shorts and Ugg high ankle/low calf boots.

I suppose it could have been worse if he'd cut air holes for his nasty callused long-nailed toes.

A word about the Germans --- as we all know by now, they occasionally do deplorable things like exterminate people or invade our good friends and staunch allies the Polacks. But for all their many faults, you have to admit that German potato salad is better than regular potato salad and German dodgeball is better than regular dodgeball.

Germans don't make the things you buy. They make the things you buy better. So why are they always going around calling themselves Dutch? Selbstrespekt yoself before you wreck yoself.

A couple of years ago I read (I think in Money magazine, of all places) an article that extoled the virtues of picking up a used exotic rather than dropping $35k for yet another generic SUV. I think the author specifically mentioned old Rolls and Maseratis. I've been thinking about it ever since.

The question is whether the Bentley is "used" or "classic." An '88 911 is used; a '68 is a classic. I wouldn't consider the owner of the latter to be overcompensating. Only you can decide whether it's the first or the second. Would you be buying it because it's a really nice car, or because it's a Bentley? If it's because it's a Bentley, walk on by.

I am pretty spiritually vacant, but something happened last nite which freaked me out.

After posting yesterday about a black used Bentley, I drove home from the train and, I shit you not, found a relatively new Black Bentley Arnage parked in front of my house. I've never seen the car in the neighborhood before, but there it was, sitting right below my mailbox. I went inside, got changed, went to the gym and when I returned it was gone. I have no idea why it was there, but it freaked me out. I mean, really, what are the statistics on this sort of shit happening. The damn car was an immaculate example of exactly the sort of ride I'd really love to get my hands on someday. The only thing wrong with it was the interior was white, and I prefer tan. My grandmother used to say that crows in the yard were harbingers of a death in the family... I wonder if her specious superstition applies to cars? Perhaps this is God telling me I have to quit law immediately?

I have to have one. The damn thing was gorgeous.

did you check the bedroom closet before leaving? Maybe it's just your wife likes the kind of guy who likes black Bentleys.

Are you suggesting I trade rides?

Yeah, you've got to really wonder about those losers who don't consider all the image-related implications of buying a Mini. What a bunch of losers! Don't they realize that they should be lusting after something portraying a better image, like a ten year old Bentley?

By the way, your $35k Bentley will cost you three times per year in depreciation, insurance and repairs as would a similar vintage $35k 911, which is already way more expensive to maintain than anything else on the road.

There's a reason the exotic dealer near me can't sell the $4k Maserati biturbo. There's no warranty, and the first repair is going to end up costing more than the purchase price.

When I was leaving last Thursday, I think I saw one of those pulling up right in front of SD's house.

Hmmm. Sounds like someone was interested in a game of "German beer wench/1970s degenerate rocker."

Magnificent job of fleshing out the obvious!

The sole reason I even toyed for a brief moment with the absurd notion of buying a used Bentley was because my commute is about a mile to the train. And the insurance would not be all that high on a used Bentley. I'd maybe see an increase a few hundred a year over what I pay for my truck.

I hate 911s. I'll NEVER own one. I appreciate their performance and respect that they are great vehicles, but I think they're ugly and uncomfortable.

I saw an E 65 last weekend - THAT is a fucking car. Its a biturbo 12 cylinder Benz convertible. Fucking crazy ride. Makes most 911s look like dogshit.

I know what you're saying about the Maserati. Those neat new Maserati coupes are already going for pretty low prices in the used market. The Bentley is actually not as complicated to fix as those Italian sport rides. It doesn't have the crazy racing suspensions they slap into Maseratis or Ferraris or Porsches. The cat who sold me my used trucks has a mechanic who services Rolls, and he's nothing special - just the average solid mechanic. Parts is parts unless they're the high performance kind.

I've seen, and have watched, TV. Does that disqualify me from kayak ownership?

Apparently, according to this guy having seen TV in the past does not disqualify you, but still watching it might.

"No TV. At one time, I merely disliked the idiot eye, but about the time of Tonya Harding and OJ Simpson, I developed a hatred for the boob tube only surpassed by my feelings about politicians and phone salespeople. I've gotten to the point where about the only TV I'll watch voluntarily is "Lyin' Stan, the Weatherman", only occasionally, and that only to crosscheck what I get from the net. I'm not a fan of spectator sports, especially on TV; I prefer doing to watching. TV "News" has gotten so shamelessly bad that I'm a little reluctant to admit that I'm a member of the media, too. TV "Entertainment" has gotten unbelieveably coarse and tasteless. So why waste the time when there's other things to do?"


Of course I've watched a lot of TV lately, but then I also haven't been kayaking all summer. Apparently I prove the point.

Would you like my kayak?


ETA Cool, I broke the board!
