[SlaveNoMore]

Anytime someone mentions the Plaza I am reminded of an old commercial where a well-coiffed woman walks out of a shop, tightens the belt of her fur around her waist, and struts down he street like Thurgreed just bent her over the arm of a sofa. The voice over says "Some women lunch at the Plaza, ski in St. Moritz, and buy expensive furs every year. Other women just look that way."

Why do I remember this crap?

Ah, the good ole' Ritz Thrift Shoppe

He's so persistent that she gets exhausted and just gives up and continues to date him? After she stops arguing with him, he resumes his side of the argument until her eyes glaze over?

If that actually worked, I would spend roughly zero time here. I'd be out talking to Halle.

But please, tell me how well "Dude...uh...I mean babe, is the keg cashed yet?" works for you.

I am in a generous mood and inclined to believe it's possible that he's good in bed. But it's interesting to note what you find attractive about TM.

I'm inclined to believe that it's possible that your sense of humor sucks.

Touche

But I usually ask what sorority they were (are?) in...

ETA: Or which HS they go to...

Halle has a thing for bald guys that look like Steve Urkel?

Menopause can do that, especially to a spinster.

I'm sorry, but I feel compelled to say this. I find Slave's latching on to Reagan to be in terribly poor taste. Regardless of your politics, Reagan was a charming personality, loving husband, had a talent for diplomacy and chose his words carefully to always be pleasant no matter what pill or blow he was delivering. I find Slave's invocation of his image to be incredibly distasteful. I troubles me to see his image associated with sexually depraved, drug-addled rageaholics. And i thought the Christian right was destroying the party.

Imitating Paigow is so paigow.

Would it change your tumescence level to hear that the 2004 and 2012 Transits of Venus play a minor part in Thomas Pynchon's next novel? They say it will be his most encyclopedic work to date --- over 256 MB, all ASCII text --- covering everything from sly jokes about the Lewinsky scandal to the coming Age of Robot Overlords. It's slated for a Fall 2240 release.

It would until you got to the date there. Happily, I have Mason & Dixon to keep me turgid until then.

unless you are willing to (a) give us the names of the reality folks so that we can google them or (b) discuss in detail the qualities that make your trapeze instructor so hot, your story comes up a bit lacking. maybe fringey could find you a nice creative writing class?

The name of the girl who was on Average Joe is Samantha -- but I don't know anyone else's name (there was this German guy called Ruben or something, and the tumbler's name was JC, oh; and the jeweler's name was Laura -- other than that, I got nuthin on the names.)

As for (b), let me count the ways. He's probably a little under 6 feet tall, dirty blond hair, an impish grin, very tan, and a sa-mokin' bod. He's not all muscle-bound like Ahhnuld in his heydey or anything, but his muscles are very defined. Lamentably, I can tell you no more, as I haven't had (and am unlikely to have) a glimpse of other, uh... pertinent attributes.

The Plaza? Is that where you insist on going when a guy with great teeth bends you over the arm of a sofa?

TM

No. It's where she told me her "friends" get a group rate.

And think about the teeth reference, Dummy. I know you're smarter than you look; you have to be.

You bitch. You told me that was "our secret place."

If you're going to sleep with TM and then start defending his honor all over the boards, that's okay, but some advance warning would have been nice. Geez. That was just shocking.

How about Coltrane? Can we make fun of him? Or are you gonna get together with him, too, and make him off limits?

It's a big tent.

We even let in the occasional teetotaler lunch-box groupie.

I mean, since you live in NYC, you gotta figure that dudes ranging from Ed Burns to Bill Clinton to Mike Piazza have tried out their mojo on her.

Ed Burns is married!!! and Mike Piazza is gay. Bill Clinton, well..., you're probably right about that one.
