N. An insult directed at someone acting like a stereotypical old fart, especially being overly cautious; tone may moderate the insult to mere teasing.

I think they focus on her hair a little much.

a "little" much? They want to fuck her hair.

I assume they were not looking at her when she had the weird black and blond thing going on.

The child wouldn't be either. If the parents aren't religious, and don't rear the child to be religious, the child is not religious.

True, but that doesn't mean they aren't Jewish. According to traditional Jewish belief the determinant is biology, not philosophy.

That's my point. They aren't Jewish by religion, they're Jewish by heritage in that situation. Judaism comprises both faith and culture.

And damn, she does look like Axl.

See, I was going to say Chucky, the doll from Child's Play. Maybe she can play Chucky's mom in the next sequel.

The judge was referring to [Rosie's] counterclaims as well... Clearly the judge thinks very little of both sides and who knows how much of the tab was run up by both sides pursuing her claims as opposed to the publisher's.

Getting fees is somewhat rare even if you win. It will be a pox on both their houses and they will each eat their own fees.

Nope. NCS (oops -- "ncs") is right.* Getting fees in a breach of contract spat where both sides can afford big time law dudes and dudettes isn't that rare. Assuming that there is a prevailing party attorney fee provision in the deal between Rosie and the Germans,** she has a decent shot at getting something for her troubles. Judges have to apportion fee awards all the time, so that guy is perfectly capable of dividing the amount spent by Rosie in defense from the amount spent by Rosie on attack.

However, he will probably lean on both sides to settle it so that he doesn't have to deal with it.

*Well, I'd be able to say "NCS is absolutely right" if the suit against Rosie were filed here in the State of Podunk, but I'm pretty sure that prevailing party attorney fee provisions in contracts are enforced in TCOTU.

**Hey, I read "The Gawker" too.

I don't often remember my dreams, but this one was so odd (not, sadly, "odd" in an interesting way) that it woke me up. I've been pondering it, and haven't got a clue as to what it means.

Anyway, in my dream my wife and I are in some sort of combination antique store and restaurant. The place seems pretty full (more on that later). My wife and I get up from our table and are looking at the stuff on the shelves. I pick up some porcelain knick-knack from the World's Fair in New York (no idea why I remember that detail, and, no, I haven't seen Men In Black lately), look at it, absent-mindedly wipe some dust from it with my sleeve, and set it back down. My wife and I go back to our table.

A few minutes later, the owner comes from the register at the front of the place, and tells me that that someone reported that I had acted suspiciously and wanted to look in my (apparently massive) pocket for the World's Fair thingy. As I opened my pocket, showing that it was empty, I pointed out that the thing was still on the shelf. She said something like "oh, yes -- I see it now" and started to walk away. When I asked what I did that was "suspicious," she said I had wiped the thing on my sleeve.

I guess at this point I had forgotten that I did wipe dust from it, and said that I didn't even touch it. At this point, the entire place starts shouting at me: "Yes, you did! I saw you! Liar!" etc. Weird. And almost all of the people in the place were older women. We left the place in shame, and then I woke up.

So, what does it mean? Don't shoplift? Avoid antique cafes? Shun the elderly?

Tori Spelling is not attractive enough to be a tv star, but if you saw her in a bar, you would probably think she was cute--even without 14 beers.

Beeyotch, please. Your definition of cute is definitely different from mine. Even with the aid of beer goggles, it's hard to get past the full-on frontal assault her mug took with the ugly board. That said, the fact that she is insanely wealthy and, as I've said before, has a smoking bod would go a long way toward ignoring the fact that her face is not attractive by television or other standards. Chicks like her are the reason why doggie style was invented.

For me (and most guys), it's all about what I don't have right now.

Example, when I was dating a little 5'3" 100 lb girl, I wanted a taller girl with a nice round butt. When dating a girl with a ghetto booty, I wanted a nice little firm ass. Dating big rack girl - wanted perky B-cup. Lean, slim girl - wanted DD jugs.

See ladies? This is the sacrifice we men make when we commit. It's KILLING us inside not to cheat. I have stigmata.

ABSOLUTELY. The grass is always greener elsewhere. A buddy of mine refers to this as "The Strange." He's explained it as "Well, I've been fucking the same chick for a while, so I just want the 'strange'... something different. Doesn't really matter what, just different." I don't care if you're SO is Tyra Banks, fucking the same person gets old after a while. Just part of the human condition... you gotta try new shit from time to time to keep things fresh. When I was single I wanted to fuck everything and I never had a type - blonde, brunette, tall, not tall, big tits, little tits... as long as they were attractive, I'd want to fuck them, and if by chance I got to fuck them, I wanted to fuck someone else. I don't think it has to with specific hair color or height or boob size so much as just volume. I think we're all, men and women, wired to want to fuck a whole lotta people.

This realization hit me full in the face freshman year in college. I went to a place where it snows.

My college had this huge tundra between parts of campus. my buddy and are going to a party leaving our girlfriends back at the dorm we're living in. The party is friends of 2 girls we had met the week before. Thing is, the party is about a mile walk across the tundra, and there is a friggin blizzard of awesone proportion going on. The snow is white-out volume, and the winds were like yesterday in the midwest. It was really really bad.

About halfway we jump behind a wall for a brief windbreak rest, and had this philosophic conversation about what the fuck we're doing. Sure thing at dorm- no mile walk through the perfect storm, or mile walk through storm for the CHANCE to maybe get somewhere with someone new.

We decided to go on to the party, but we did realize just how shallow the decision made us.

A lot of evolutionary biologists would agree with you and state that monogamy is an "unnatural" state in terms of survival of the species.

The whole idea is that because the mortality rate of humans was historically quite high, men and women both would, consciously or not, seek out a variety of sexual partners with desirable physical traits in terms of doing the things necessary to survive in harsh environments. It is only a fairly recent development in the whole history of the species, that lifetime monogamy became the norm.

So your comment on being "wired" that way does have some basis in scientific theory.

Of course, in modern society, survival of the male depends in most cases, on staying faithful to one woman, but YMMV.

"NEW YORK (AP) -- An attorney accused of burying an associate alive under the floor of his Manhattan apartment left court a free man Thursday after a prosecutor said she would be unable to prove kidnapping."

Turns out it was a business associate. And here I was hoping for a juicy story about law firm intrigue that would get PETA* involved.

Keep moving.

In the end, everything eventually comes down to the face. A bad face is a dealkiller because, no matter how much dog style sex you can have, eventually you gotta kiss... well, in Spelling's case... Gumbi with a boob job.

Of course, the worst is a "Car Hottie" - the reverse of the Butterface. This is a girl with a stunning face who's sitting down when you first see her, either in a car or somewhere else where you can see the torso only. She's looking magnificent... until she gets out of the car or steps away from the bar and walks to the ladies room, revealing that her backyard is as big as the White House's. The male version of this is "Big Clothes Guy." This is the guy who's a doughy mess, but hides it by wearing loose fitting clothes. A drunk chick takes him home and starts hooking up with him only to realize he's a got a substantial pot, no muscle tone and an ass like John Goodman. My girl friends joke about this all the time. If you're a big clothes guy, you might want to rethink your wardrobe... 99% of chicks are onto your trick.

Oh, and lets not forget "Fake Tits," the girl who's wearing an inflated push up bra which holds her rack so high you could balance a tray of manhattans on it. You get her home, get her shirt off and ask yourself "Where'd her tits go?"

This is why I've always been an ass and face man. You always know what you're getting...

As loathe as I am to agree with anything Sebbie says about women, I agree the face is most important.

I also agree that men are biologically wired to be sluts. Or so I learned in my anthropology courses. Which was about all my anthropology courses were good for.
