I think Calvin invented it. The one with the tiger, not the religious cat.

Hey, puppy, et al., stop your whining and post other stuff.

Sheesh.

I was compelled to buy a bumper sticker (on a bulletin board in my kitchen) that states a variation on this pearl:

Normal people are just people you don't know real well.

Try soccer players. They've got the same great legs and rock hard ass and the stamina that comes from 90 minutes of running up and down a field. Soccer players don't come close to matching the lacrosse social scene.

Ahhh, soccer players.

People who buy bumper stickers are stupid.

I bet if I sold bumper stickers saying that I'd make millions.

Well, I can't argue with that. I stand corrected. I think we have done some good work here today people, let's all hit the bar.

I know this whole "stamina" thing is tongue in cheek, but do any of you actually believe that athletic stamina translates into sexual stamina? If so, please stand up. Please stand up. Please stand up.

Danish Butter Cookie threads not exciting enough for you?

That's not ironic, its coincidental. Your stupidity is worse than PLF's boorishness.

leagl, isn't the incorrect usage of "ironic" or its deratives a bannable offense? Please?

Actually, the blandness of the Danish Butter Cookie thread was a pretty good antidote to the nausea-inducing stuff from yesterday, but then lunchtime rolled around and just as I was sitting down to some lovely chicken curry ...

In no particular order.....

1. To the person who said that fringey was a not hot guy, I'll have you know that I .... look, this is hard for me to admit, but, I ..... I have had depositions with her. She is lovely. And quite a deponent, too, if you know what I mean, and I think you do.

2. To the person who said that you should look at a guy's shoes, car, phrasing, etc. when deciding if he has dough whilest out at a bar. Watch out. You could end up with a mortgaged-to-the-hilt married loser like me.

3. To boldn'brazen: Sensitive guys needed sex in college, too, you know. I now know that you were the minx who had me snort a line of blow from her decolletage (with nothing more than that for me other than then "allowing [me] to worship at the Temple of Aphrodite," which was nice, I admit, just not, um, fulfilling) three days before boinking the guy from the rugby team on the hood of my Mazda Miata. (The dent never came out -- of the hood or my heart. Sniff.)

4. To Displaced Texan: it just can't be the same without Pa Cartwright.

This entire thread is so ridiculous. The watch or the car might simply be primary indicators of stupidity. You can't tell by what a person wears or drives whether that person is living beyond his or her means. You might admire a person's taste but it says nothing about whether you'd admire the way he manages his life.

I'm with Flinty. (He's my favorite.)

Confuckingcur. If I want money, I go out and make it myself. What I find attractive has more to do with whether a guy is nice, interesting and how likely it is that he will be hot in the sack.

And a wacked sense of humor brings a guy up a point or two.

Flinty is big time chick bait. He's my new favorite.

The proverbial "lasting longer"? Nope.

"Able to do a whole lot more, for a longer time, with more energy and enthusiasm, and strength, and agility, and look physically good while doing it?" Yep.

Whaaaaa? I have Aldens, Guccis and Ferragamos, and I have yet to ever hear a woman say "Love your shoes." And shoes are cheap. You pay $2-400 once and you get five years out of the fuckers, so they're hardly indicative of being successful. Good shoes are in fact indicative of being wise and thrifty, because if you buy right, you buy once, whereas buying cheap means buying more often at increased cost. Maybe that's the allure of good shoes - they show stability and forethought.

As to belt matching, unless you're a fuckin retard, you match your goddamn belt and shoes. this is a huge pain in the ass if you're slightly colorblind like me. I have a closet full of belts I can't wear because they don't match properly.

Perhaps I wasn't clear. It's not whether you bothered to match the shoes and the belt, it's whether you cared enough to pay $100 for one or not in the first place.

You are absolutely right about paying up front for a nice pair of shoes being thrifty, but be honest - did you have a pair of Ferragamos when you were 21? Or did the thought of paying $400 for shoes instead of drugs strike you as stupid? I'm willing to bet that you didn't buy your first pair of $400 shoes until you stopped drinking beer for breakfast. It's not all about the $$ per se, but a man who wears nice shoes (and has them polished and doesn't walk the heels off and doesn't have tattered laces) will typically have come to a realization that money spent properly isn't stupid. I'm still not being clear - just think about yourself. If I saw you in a bar with your Guccis, I wouldn't necessarily say anything, but I would give you the time of day waay before I would waste my time talking to a guy who wore some ratty old adidas.

I'm just saying - this is how the girls talk (the ones I know anyway). If you don't think a girl notices when a guy has walked the heels off his shoes, or walked the hem off his pants, think again.

Using BB's criteria I was just promoting my favorite athletes. While the Lax boys win in the social category, I still think soccer players make better lovers. Don't forget, lacrosse players run around for 60 minutes holding on to a stick. True, soccer players can't use their hands to touch the ball, but they are creative with what they do and can get away with. Goalies have great hands.

Stamina is overrated. Timing is everything.
