concur.
but like Sebastian when it happens I will first be suspicious.
Me? then I'll be humble "aw shucks" no its not good, then I'll make a reference to someone else's good post, where I know i had a good response so I can get a double credit.

What I'm impressed by is that he still remembers that "forgettable" Bilmore's Inner Cynic. Was that one of yours?

He generally missed mine (one exception), though I do have to fess up to being Maine. New Jersey was just so lame, I had to hold up the mirror.

I'd say this rant was so 1999, except that would be so very 2002 of me.

Even if he missed some of them, trust me, they all suck.

As does your primary, for that matter.

Cool. But I am certain that if I see the pirate with the thong - then I'll know I'm at the wrong party. I can't imagine wearing that to a party.

Is anyone dressing up on Friday to go out? And what is a sexy pirate?
sexy pirates, sexy cops, sexy lawyers

I will get (sort of) dressed up, at least sort of gothy, and be at an adult party. (After appropriately memorializing the passing of the Ivy King into the underworld by extinguishing my fires to be relit in the new year, of course.) I will not dress to kink, but I have certainly seen it done.

A sexy pirate is a woman in skin-tight breeches or mini and thigh-high boots in a poufy-sleeved pirate shirt laced up the front but opened very low under a tight vest, with big hoop earrings and a sword tied on and maybe an eyepatch and headscarf, or maybe a parrot on her shoulder if she can find one.







Also on the "sexy" costume list: french maids, nurses, cops, etc.

Uh oh. Less? Do you still want to bang her?

apropos of a dead fucking horse thread, is it compromising your principles to take off your top for money if you (a) could use the money and (b) don't care who sees your breasts? Or are we supposed to assume that it is a universally held principle that it is always a dilemma whether to take off your top or not. Does it matter how large the audience is, or how big the paycheck? enquiring minds, etc..

I think it depends on your own principles. If you have a problem with taking off your shirt, and yet, you do it for money despite this, you have now compromised your own principles. If it was never something you thought was a big deal, doesn't seem to me you have compromised anything. I don't think (a) really matters. (b) does though, since it involves the whole compromising thing.

Wow. Great post. Las Vegas, NM is a place very few people have been, and more people should go.

While in NM, one should stop at a Lotta Burger (they are all over the state- just sometime when nothing else looks good). Get the green chile burger. Ummmmm.

I wonder though if a better route isn't further South. Anyone who thinks Texas has speed traps hasn't spent enough time in Oklahoma. It might be worth considering keeping south through Missouri, into Arkansas, then crossing into Texas at Texarkana, taking I-20 to Dallas, I-35 down to Austin to visit all the board members there, drop down to Fredricksberg (and Luckenbach!) before heading west into the desert. When in Austin check out Antone's - it's not nearly as cool as it used to be when it could still catch fire and burn to the ground at any moment, but it's still a great place for good music. There's a cut up north from I-10 that is cross country (but fast) that goes through Iraan, then Midland, then up to Hobbs, NM. Keep following the mountains up north, and eventually you get back to the I-40 route, but by way of Roswell.

Alternatively, keep on the southern route and zip through western Texas on I-10, turning into I-20, stopping in the Guadalupe Mountians for some RnR. Marfa has a very funky art community, the the southernmost part of the Rockies is very different. At El Paso you can swing across the border to Juarez. It's no Tijuana, but it does have cheap everything.

Closer to home, taking I-68 west through Maryland is almost always an easier drive than the PA turnpike, unless there is likely to be snow. It's also more scenic.

But remember, if you go through OK, go slow, despite all desire to get through it as quickly as possible.

I am dressing up and going to a party. I will not be a sexy pirate. I tend to think that I will be kinda sexy but not in a wearing lingerie sort of way.

Actually, I find that article odd. I don't see going to Hallowween costume parties as a "Peter Pan/Find the Child Within" sort of thing. I've always considered masques to be a rather sophisticated form of adult entertainment, really - so I think the resurgence of adult costumes at Halloween isn't about acting like children but rediscovering adult diversions and using the existing holiday as an excuse. (I wouldn't be surprised to hear that Carnival is increasing in popularity among adults where it is celebrated, too.) The whole "ooh, look, we're so young at heart" schtick is such a boomer thing, and the media persists in thinking old boomer attitudes bleed down onto the rest of us, but I don't think it's really accurate with respect to the under-35-40 crowd.

If you put $1 mil in a suitcase, tax free, I'd masturbate live on national television during prime time in sweeps week.

Good. Because I picture you as more of a witch.

I've driven Florida to Texas and Phoenix to California on I-10 and Atlanta to Dallas on I-20.

I-10 also gets you through New Orleans, Houston, San Antonio, Phoenix, LA.

On second thought, maybe the northern route is better.

I am a big fan of Prescott to Kingman to Needles to LA. The Joshua Tree National Forest is well worth seeing. We drove through at night and it's very eerie.

Yeah, that part of it was weird. I've always loved Halloween and dressing up. Some of my friends - not so much. Some people actually hate Halloween. I don't get it.

I don't think it's the letting go of the childhood so much as the escapism from everyday life. I mean really, how often do you get to dress up like Gene Simmons?
