There was no misunderstanding -- she chased me out into the street.

or Friendster
You can apply it to everything. One size fits all. especially fucked up aspects of some deal, or deficiencies in someone's personality.....it means you concede some type of resigned accceptance that a certain aspect of life ain't gonna change.

Why are these commercials OK but a bare tit on TV not? Because the pharmas dump so much $ into republican coffers that that shit isn't deemed indecent?

They're not selling the drug to her.

You were getting more of her attention than we were, then.

Jesus Christ, why can't you write this clearly all the time? Or even half the time? And it's on point, too!

Viagra is this high technology pharma-development, right? big drug companies doing god's work with billion dollar labs, so this poor guy can get a boner?

But when he decides to go bang the wife he goes low tech- he puts in a VHS tape. isn't the image only dull-normal people would use the stuff? I mean the product starts with a target audience that must be somewhat self-deprecating in the first place THEN you add in its for people who don't even have TIVO. too many contrary messages if you ask me.
My God, even I wouldn't use that bad a segue.

Foul.

the sad fact is you and Sidd and what the hell her name is ncs or westlaw or whatever her name is have not met and do not know if I am hot or fat or gross or attractive. so you need to stop acting like a child and stop piling on and then I will stop making pot shots at all of you and it really is THAT SIMPLE.
God, I just so wish TM had carried a camera phone that day. Then we could stop hearing about how, despite the fact that you met someone purely in order that they could rate you and report back to the board, no one here is apparently in a good position to accept that rating, not having met you personally.

What would that fix? We'd see a picture of someone that TM would say ain't all that, atticus (sniff) would say is smokin', and a bunch of other people would say hot (or not). And everyone in the not camp would be told, in the course of 1000+ posts, that they were wrong.
