My issue currently with the TSA, is that they've been going through my luggage. My husband says they sniff the panties.

Does your husband mess with you alot, or was he serious when he said this?

Cut 'em some slack, aiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight?

Don't worry kid. If you adhere to the following rules, soon you'll be just as popular as ThurgreedMar... - well, I take that back, Thurgreed is popular because he gives away crack cocaine and lets us bang his mother - say, just as popular as, for instance, I.M.Pay or Saxfa:

1) Pick a regular. Any Regular, but preferably an older one [but not Bilmore, he's "elder-sensitive"]. May I suggest Chef.

2) Flame the hell out of your selection. Why? Doesn't matter. Tell them their posts suck, or they don't know what pari passu means. Doesn't matter.

3) Be prepared to get flamed back by tens of other posters for having the audicity to flame a regular. Take it in stride. Like the sun rising in the morning (or Rb being bitchy and fb being manic) this WILL happen.

4) Pick one or two of these "calvary types" and flame them back. Flame hard. Don't defend your intial attack. Continue to fuck with them. This way, you get a name AND a rep*.

5) After a few thousand posts [FB speak for 2pm to 4pm on a monday], several do-gooders on the Board will rise to your defense. Kind souls, like genteel GP NotBob, or good Christian folk like SEC. Often, although not always, these defenders are usually newer posters like yourself, who feel as if they haven't yet been absorbed into the clique because they don't get the inside jokes [Self-test: If you cannot figure out the inside joke in every one of Lady Greediva's posts - good, because they're not funny - but I digress].

6) So now you've got a name, a rep, a group of defenders, and a bunch of regulars that you pissed off. You're doing fine, you're almost home - in the final stretch. Keep posting nice things with the defenders, but keep flaming the old regulars.

7) Ultimately, the regulars will warm up to you. Not only because of your persistency, but mainly because they are a bunch of losers who hang around the internet all day and cannot afford to lose any potential new friends. They are akin to the "Island of Misfit Toys." I, myself, like to think of myself as the Dentist elf. [BTW, wasn't there once a poster named Yukon Cornelius?]

Hope this proves helpful.

Now get out there and fight. I didn't hear no bell.

* Be very careful here. You have to be persistent. If you give up here, and begin to crisp from their flames - you are toast, pun intended.

This is just cruel. You know she has no idea.

Try LL Bean or Travelsmith.

Two trendy blues of late are Ice Blue and Periwinkle.

Note, however that "trendy" is not a word which usually applies among the male GA set, so you can rest assured that the darker French blues will be around for quite a while, despite what is seen these days in GQ.

What I don't understand is the rush to get on the plane. It's not taking off before everyone boards, and the inside of an airplane is one of the most miserable places outside of Abu Grahib. I'll gladly let someone board before me. I usually wait til everyone else has boarded before getting on.

So you either don't have any carry-on, or don't fly Southwest. Because if you fly Southwest and you're the last one on, you get to sit between the 2 fat people, or by the bathroom.

Let me get this "straight." You want to have a daughter because you'd rather not be too involved and you think having a son requires you to join a golf course so you can get away from him? Someone should help you remove your shit-colored glasses.

He's not the only one.

My son plays basketball, and I've been taking him to travel tournaments. Watching my kids do sports has been one of the best things over the past few years. anyway, I had to put together a team of 6 or 7 boys. Several don't have dads around, but a few do, and these dads miss all of it. They never can make the games.

I really don't get having kids if you don't want to be there for the things they do.

I understand the odd conflict, but this is pretty constant.

I don't follow the sons vs. daughters thing, either. Is the idea that a daughter doesn't need her father to be as involved? So that when she grows up, she'll only seek out men who prefer to avoid her company or don't want her to expect too much from him?

He likes to say things that he knows will gross me out. He enjoys the reaction. A lot like you people.
Like telling me that the real estate people rifle the panty drawer and drink stuff in the fridge when they go through a house.

You're not a Santini sports dad, are you?

From the sound of it, your husband sounds like a guy with a good sense of humor. You must be supremely hot/rich/good in bed, or something.

She's an excellent driver. An excellent driver.

Haven't you been deleted enough, Generalissimo?

Now play nice or go home.

So I watched Hit Me Baby One More Time last night and I really enjoyed it. The only bad part was making old school bands do relatively new stuff I guess in order to try to get a younger audience interested. I was shocked when the audience picked Vanilla Ice over the Knack, Tommy Tutone and the Motels - all of whom did a fantastic job. Plus, Vanilla Ice sang a Destiny's Child song that absolutely sucked. Well, in fairness, Tommy Tutone doing Blink 182 sucked as well. Overall, the show was fun.

I also caught Britney and Kevin on MTV - I guess they replay the Chaotic shows on MTV. That accent of hers is so incredibly grating. No wonder Kevin drinks in Vegas. So he can get away from the grating.

Nonsense (uh, not you, RP). I still do stuff with my daughter, despite the fact that there are some things she only discusses with her mother (thank God). She and I have overlapping tastes in music and movies, and it's pretty cool to learn stuff from your kid (she gets credit for introducing me to the White Stripes before they broke into my normal frame of reference).
