Would you rather date (not just shag) someone who is fat or ugly? Assume a proportionate amount of fatness or ugliness.

I can't figure out why I would date either one. But I'm shallow. My answer would be it depends on which I found more attractive, I guess, which would be completely subjective (obviously) and therefore not predictable. I would not date someone that I did not find attractive. If the hypo begins with the fact that the choices are viewed by society as either fat or ugly it would be up to me whether I felt any chemistry with either of them. If not, my choice is none of the above - I'll go it alone and buy lots of batteries.

I know. My answer sucks. Sorry.

I have decided not to go to the adult board anymore bc I enjoy having a job. But Take A Wild Guess posted it over there. You cant miss it. Its the pic that generated a post from Sebby along the lines of "Man, look at the slab of roast beef on her!". The only more revolting post was the one where he discusses the sweaty salt lick between his wife's leg that is like greasy roast beef.

No need to really, now. Even the re: line's misleading: one can Extreme Makeover oneself out of ugly now just as easily as one can lipo one's colossal ass or be forced off the Doritos by having one's stomach stapled to the size of a walnut.

Of course, I find the prospect of any of the above rather gross and creepy, and would go it alone as well instead.

I think I'm going to have to go with ugly but this person has to have an amazing body. Once a person hits a certain level of fatness, they are ugly. That's why people say things like, she would be pretty if she wasn't fat.

I must've totally missed the inception of the adult board. I just checked and saw it for what I think was the first time. I'll check it out tonight from home. But I will NOT do a search for slick. Ick.

Hey, that sweaty salt lick between you legs is no culinary masterpiece. And it ain't much fun loosing feeling in your jaw licking a quivering handful of greased roast beef while your hips are shaking.

Be polite and sit still while a man is eating.

If someone could give me something that would get over the nausea your posts induce, I would appreciate it.

Queen Victoria is rumored to have smoked pot to cure nausea. You could try that.

During this fine holiday season I would like to wonder aloud to the board why lawyers are so fucking cheap.

Everyone around here, IT, Finance, A/P, H/R, everyone, gets these great gifts from vendors and consultants. What do I get from the outside firms that I use? Nothing but stinking fucking cards.

And I know that it isn't just me. I have spoken with other GCs and find that law firms are just plain stingy at the holidays -- unless, perhaps, you are a multi-million dollar client rather than coming in just under a million in billables.

What is up with that? How embarrassing it is when everyone pools their gifts to share here at the home office and I have nothing...nothing. Every year it is the same.
Cheap-ass fucking lawyers.

Starting next year I am demanding gifts or the work dries up.

Sorry, sweetie. All of my clients have policies which forbid me from giving them gifts or anything of value. About two years ago, a client (a relatively senior in-house lawyer in a large legal department) told me how much trouble one of his colleagues got in for keeping a bottle of wine he received from outside counsel.

What I do instead of sending jars of Harry and David chutney is make sure that I invite the local clients (and spouses/kids) to sit in the firm's box at the Podunkville Stadium for sporting events and the like, and visit the out of town clients a couple of times a year and take them to incredibly expensive restaurants.

You want to get gifts next year? Tell the next outside counsel you talk to on the phone that you loved the Godiva chocolates that your law school classmate who handles matters for you in Macon sent you. Then say how much you pity those poor friends of yours who are in-house at places that have anti-gift policies. That should start the ball rolling.

But make sure that there is no such policy buried somewhere in the fine print at your company. A few of my clients have theirs listed in the "Standards of Engagement" letter that they send to me at the beginning of each matter. (The offending language is usually right after the part about how I won't charge more than 10 cents a copy and that I will give them a 10% discount off of my standard rate for the privilege of representing them.)
