Not that I disagree with you or anything, but what brought this one, Snuglebunny?

Thusfar, this board has been happily NotMeFree, and Atticus paged em to restart the Tiger debate, no less.

So, right now, I hate him.

and Penske

and PLF, that elitist fuck.

Indeed.

EVERY guy I've been with since I first noticed the scent on my ex-BF's balls years ago has the same exact smell. It's not exactly unpleasant, but it's not the sweetest thing either. Is it sweat? Or do the balls simply exude their own special scent? Or maybe it's a white guy thing.

I suspect you are describing the smell of the bacteria that form in the sweat that collects in this un-aired area, much like armpit odor, at the end of the day. The smell can be made stronger by frequent manipulation of the balls, such as masturbation, which increases the sweat, traps the sweat, and spreads it around. You should Blow a White Man For America right after he takes a shower to see if the smell is gone.

I'm no sock buster, but it is clear that ine is either a Penske sock (really) or a spoof of a Penske sock. So, in other words, it was a joke.

Ah. Suspected it was someone else (without spoofing), but OK.

Penske, please email me the latest iteration of "Penske Ostensibly Retired Socks, Kilts and The Tactics of the Wannabe Fuzz That Cling to Them." Version 3.4 is obviously outdated.

and I didn't hate her.

I think the series is running on Sci-Fi over and over again for the rest of the month, and if you're a fan of the original but willing to let go some of your pre-conceived notions, you might like it.

We were thrown off initially because there was no opening credit and the music wasn't there to remind us that we were watching Battlestar Galactica. There was a lot of backstory covered in a series of subtitles, about the Cylons and the war and the lack of war for awhile and no one had heard from the Cylons for awhile.

The first half-hour or so was setting everyone up, and explaining what was going on. No word from the Cylons, Galactica about to be decommissioned, and a lot of the stuff on Galactica was antiquated. The colonies were finally getting out of their fear of networked computers, and Baltar was unknowingly consorting with Cylons.

Henry James Olmos made a very good Adama, I thought, and there were some nice touches with the re-do. It took me awhile to get used to Starbuck was a girl, though the cigar in her first scene helped. Tigh was wholely different than he was in the original, though I liked that he wasn't just an Adama yes-man, like he was in the series. Boomer and Jolly were never really well developed in the series, but I liked Boomer (a younger girl), and Jolly seemed to have been rolled into a deck-commander type, though there was another person named Jolly. The political situation was totally different than in the original series, though there were some nice conflicts set up, though as far as I could tell none of the class conflicts were developed yet. No counsel of twelve, and it seemed to be more of a democracy.

It took nearly a half-hour to get Apollo on the scene, and I liked him. I liked his bitterness towards Adama about Zack (I'm glad that they didn't try to replicate Zack's death), and I liked his clear desire to be a separate person from his father. I sort of missed the Serena thing, but I understood, though didn't approve of, a budding thing with Starbuck. I thanked everyone for the wisdom in keeping the robot dog out of the show.

I think it's possible that there were too many characters. They locked Starbuck in the brig early on, and after a brief exchange with Apollo, we really didn't see her again until the Cylon attack. Same goes, in the second part, when Adama is off alone with the refugee arms-dealer guy.

Baltar I liked a lot. Very much a flawed character, and seemingly manipulated, but I think he proved himself in the end. I especially like how he was set up to steal his way on the getaway ship, but turned out to be a fairly decent human being that had unwittingly made a horrible alliance. I think that if the show ever becomes a series, he'll be by far the most interesting character.

All in all, with the understanding that I loved the original series, I thought it was well done, and I'd watch this make-up of people again through their adventures.

I was accused of outing you after I penned you a letter. WE also got to read about SD's wife's grease slicked roast beef and the deforestation of fringey's ass. All in all, I would say its been a banner week here.

Anyone who knows me IRL and reads this board has put two and two together long ago. No biggie, although I'm sure what you said was still moronic. As for the other stuff, I couldn't get through all the same, tired FB cliches/"jokes"/references/inanity enough to care.

Definitely agree there. Need I remind people of my infamous "curry balls" post? EVERY guy I've been with since I first noticed the scent on my ex-BF's balls years ago has the same exact smell. It's not exactly unpleasant, but it's not the sweetest thing either. Is it sweat? Or do the balls simply exude their own special scent? Or maybe it's a white guy thing. I never noticed this smell on my Korean BF of 5 years. (This might be consistent with the fact that most Asian people don't have B.O., but who knows?). I wish I could describe it better, other than a mild curry odor.

A lot of men have gross bo. I don't mean bo in the sweaty sense, but their natural odors are out of tilt (IMO, of course). I find it impossible to remain attracted to men who smell bad. Hence my (already narrow due to height requirements) gets even smaller. I love the way my bf smells. He got a good one. Lucky for him.

It's just a working hypothesis, but perhaps the reason for the general shortage of truly hot women (concur in the observation) is that it's really, really hard to obtain and maintain that level of hotness. You can only live on crackers and yogurt for so long, after all. It's not so hard to be an 8 or 9.

And our perception of what is true hotness has probably changed quite a bit over time -- now that every model and actress is zone-dieted thin, surgically enhanced, and digitally enhanced on top of it, standards are presumably higher than they used to be.

I'd extend the theory to men, but what part of lazy slobs needs to be elaborated on?

Which reminds me, that Supercuts commercial where the guys are identified by stereotype is fricking hilarious.

Well, I would use it under these circumstances. Mainly cause I am too lazy to change it.

Now I'm confused by your re: line. I didn't think this was up your alley, so to speak.

We held hands. Under the table. So what's-her-face couldn't see.

Merde! I thought that was what's-her-face's hand (don't tell what's-his-name). OTOH, no pun intended, you have soft girlish hands.

And sweaty palms, but at least that sweat wasn't stinky like curry.

Did you not get the memo?

For one brief, shining moment, Penske got her to switch teams!

I, for one, think it was the manskirt.

Damnit! I must have misplaced that TPS report again.

And by the by, no offence, but I no longer heart you, which doesn't mean that we can't have lunch when I come to Texas, only that you have to pay for your own meal and I will be treating ltl/fb.

Oh puh-leaze. You continue to heart her with the burning passion of a million suns. Don't try to hide behind my skirts.

And my whole entire body below the neck got deforested in my Agent Orange bath last night. It was kind of like aromatherapy, but different.

[notcasesensitive]

I have received empirical evidence that ltl/fb is, in fact, a hot man. Sorry for the earlier confusion on this point. Carry on.

[ltl/fb]

When you put it in the teeny type, and make it confidential to one person after loudly proclaiming my not-hotness to the entire board, it does not fix the problem. Carry on.
