It is inexcusable for you to take the whole site down just in order to lower your post count.

And I thought it was the server rebelling after getting sick of storing all of his PB crap...

You are being unaware again. The gentleman in question was watching TV. Couldn't be me.

I think you are right to have such a fear.

Could be I just have a higher tolerance for fat proles.

The problem isn't that they are fat proles. The problem is that they were rude and abused MR and his wife's hospitality. Stop being a dense.

And your ass is already permanently bruised from the kayak. You really ought to get a pillow for that thing.

No, both are problems. I guarantee, if it was you and Gwink laying around naked on MR's couch, he wouldn't give a shit about having to sit on the floor.

As I said when I brought this up, the example was but a drop in the bucket that was the nightmare of them staying with us. I could give more examples, but I'm afraid that stuff probably wouldn't convince you, either.

Jesus. The proper response to a mooch desperate to suck themselves onto your furniture for a weekend is (if you can't bring yourself to simply say, "I'm sorry, we can't") "I'm sorry, we can't, we're too busy this weekend. Let me get you the number for the Holiday Inn. We're free for dinner on Friday though--why don't I make us reservations?" The proper request to a thoughtless bloated couch remora is "Ellen, do you mind if I join you on the couch, I'm really wiped from work. Thanks. Rob, don't you get up, you just had surgery for God's sake."

This is way, way more than you owe crappy oblivious houseguests.

All this talk about Lasik is reminding me of how much I fucking hate contact lenses...and GLASSES. I can't see shit wearing glasses. No periphery.

Damn those fat people and their wonderful, magical eyes.

What are the latest stats on lasik? I was looking into it a few years ago and I seem to remember that something goes wrong in about 1% of the surgeries. This seems like an unacceptable failure rate when you're talking about sight. I have never been able to bring myself to wear contacts and I'm tired of glasses.

Incorrect. You see he opened the post with a "Christ, Bilmore." Although I was tempted to misinterpret this as the deification of Bilmore, when combined with the "Who, Bilmore?" I saw that these were both effective rhetorical devices for conveying his almost-unbelieving exasperation. I could almost hear his hand slap his forehead. When MR wants to give an answer, he provides clear signals that this is what he is doing, as he did later in the post ("Answer: there is none.").

I think I'm probably not alone in wanting to hear more details. Other people's misery always brightens my day. Share.

Ditto. People not getting up is annoying but not horrific, and how freaking small is your house? Can't you afford something of reasonable size so that you have another room in which to unwind? If they aren't getting up, possibly in part because one person is recovering from (admittedly minor) surgery, you owe them minimal chit-chat before adjourning to the bedroom to unwind, perhaps by doing an ass-licking 69 thing.

When you said "nightmare" I figured children running amok and parents vomiting on the new furniture.

And I am praying nightly that NY will release our neckless, talentless quarterback hunk du jour.

Yeah, Jared Lorenzen should be the issue. Eli Manning, however, probably will be cut before Jesse.

Why do the bachelor-folks think we want to see Jenny admit to the remaining bachelorettes that she was a spy?

More trish; less jenny. at least trish is spicy.

THE RUDE FATS WERE NAKED????!?!?!??????????

I would imagine that if GWINK and I were naked and lounging on MR's couch, MR would probably find somewhere besides the floor to rest his weary butt.

Work on thinking outside the box, PLF.

Yes. And definitely some sort of screaming, crying tantrum. From either the kids or the lazy, fat mom.

Bitch, please, not all of the world has sprawling mcmansions with two rooms for each person, plus a crap room, plus a garage that holds more crap.

Go ahead and steal it. I don't think I invented the idea, but I may have invented the phrase "rude fats."

I take credit for "bitch please" and "TITS!!!!" Perhaps some other things too that have now slipped my mind.

The one thing that I like about sunnybunny is her invention of "flipping twit of a moronic bitch." I use that from time to time in my daily life.

Burger invented TITS. You just popularized it.
