I guess differential equations III prevented you from taking a survey course in Modern Am. Lit, BTIOT

I don't get why 90 year old partners would hide the age. Here at the staid white shoe firm of Ghone Crew Societz, we make people quit at 65 five, turn the spigot right off, these guys haven't done anything since 50. BUT if I can somehow blackmail my way into still being on the tit at 90, I guarentee I will use an internet picture making me look old for my age.
Anna Nicole inspired a whole new type golddigger. The smarter ones surf the net looking for rich guys about to die. Right now there are 22 year old blonds in trailer parks across ARk, Okl etc googling "senior partner" and looking for guys with $$$ who will die soon. So I'll have an old picture- for sure- and someday your grandkids will hopefully be on here* talking about the Betty Jo Leeking show, and Rufus' ashes on the TV.

*except it might be telepathic by then

Don't talk about the West Wing. I know, I know, I'm tragically unhip, but I watched it last night and it was painful. Youcould see the actors silently counting to five to fill air time before spitting out the utterly wretched dialogue.

Case in point: C.J. opines on the oppressiveness of the North Korean regime with two examples that were shockingly devoid of statistics and the previously hot whip smart Charlie responds "It's a bad place." When did Charley become Corky?

Then they had a meeting with economic advisers where they talked about the R word and interest rates and tax cuts and post-terrorism [Zoey's kidnapping] market jitters, as if this were occurring in 2001.

Verrrry topical. When Kelley left, did he take all the researchers with him? Next thing you know the First Lady will take a job as a trauma surgeon in an urban ER.

i'll go out on a limb here and guess that they suffer from massive insecurity about their bodies based on the images of women put out by the media and their parents want so much that their precious little daughter be happy that they agree to it.

Some parents are assholes then aren't they.

By the way, has anyone claimed WTF yet, or is that open?

In a ironic coincidence I was deeply gratified to see last night that Dave Atell could find a way to meld getting drunk, finding porn and seeing nekkid women in Nashville into a choking to death funny half hour show. Brava! Brava indeed!

I think that the 16 year old in the article had a nose job. Not that there aren't 16 year olds out there getting breast implants; I'm sure that there are.

I've got to put breast implants in the same categories as strippers and prostitutes (which is surprisingly appropriate). While there might be legitimate reasons to get them or become one (and we can argue about that), women rarely do it for the right reasons. They do it because they want to be objectified and have power over men they've never really had. Breast implants probably aren't as far towards that end of the spectrum as stripping and prostitution, but they're getting there.

God, I sound paternalistic.

If only all parents were this helpful (getting 16 year old kids implants)!!

Frankly, I'd be concerned of the impact on the "Barely Legal*" porno series 3 years down the road if implants get popular as sweet 16 party favors?

*forgot someone had this moniker- sorry

That's a good theory, and in certain zip codes on LI you are sure to find that level of indulgence. But timmy note, the 16 year old in the article had a nose job. The age of the breast implant woman in the article was not revealed, she could have been 16, but reading comp people, let's not jump to conclusions. I'm sure there are 16 years old girls who've had boob jobs, but that seems incredibly premature. My bra size didn't reach its set point until I was 19 or so, but I didn't develop super early.

Also, note to Paigow, while it is eerie how much I look like the woman in the picture, I'd like to preserve what little (if any) crushability I might have on the boards by saying that I don't have man hands (although I do have a pronounced Adam's apple that many people mistake for a goiter).

One could also just go for a bra fitting at a good store--the right lingerie can make a huge difference. It's all false advertising anyway that'll be revealed when the hand hits the plastic bubble or the Wonderbra smoosh-n-shove's pulled off, so why not save oneself the discomfort of surgery?

leagleaze · 10-23-2003, 11:46 AM

Yes I know the article didn't say specifically a 16 year old had a breast implant, but I have seen articles that say 16 year olds have had breast implants and I was sort of generally bitching. I like to bitch ok?

The 16 year old could have had a deviated septum or something necessary to a nose job at a young age, certainly.

Friggen timmies.

So, exactly how many women do you know who have breast implants? Those are some fairly sweeping statements regarding women's motives , so I assume you have some experience on the subject.

Fuck, I really didn't want to get into this debate again but I can't help responding to drivel like this.

My mom would LOVE to know that you consider her implants (that she got 9 years after marrying my dad (they've been married over 30 years now) and after having three kids to be akin to stripping and prostitution. Asshole.
