Speaking of which, what the fuck is wrong with women and "romance." Wake up - we know you are all suckers for candles, beaches, or anything else that is so-called "romantic." We don't care. We are using your simplistic, media-created, prejudices to take advantage of you. A canal ride through Venice is not romantic. It is a canoe through a filth-infested sewer, poled by an unwashed misogynist who can't hold a tune, that gives us a change to grope you.

Romance? Who the fuck wants romance? I want a fridge full of beer, a carton of smokes, a baseball (hockey in season) game on the tube in the rec room and for everyone to leave me the fuck alone. Wanna romance me? How about wiping your pubes off your fucking toilet once in a while or not serenading me with various bodily noises and accompanying olfactory sensations? I am watching the fucking game so shut up already and take your stinky ass a few feet further away, there are two fucking couches in here so why aren't you on the other one? Sheesh. Oh yeah, I am reading the Harry Potter series now (I am always late to the party) so don't touch my fucking books.

Edited to explain that I am a bit crabby today because I was rudely interrupted numerous times during the game last night and then my beloved Braves were routed because I was not able to give them the full benefit of my attention and complete any of the spells I was casting on the Phillies. :devil:

T Slo
Bilmore (needs to esp lose the number of posts thing- like, is he too good to have his acutal number posted?)

No significance. I picked it from the available avatars. I do not have any clue how to make my own or bring one from somewhere else. I cannot even put a picture in a post. I do not work well with computers -- or people for that matter. If I knew how to change my avatar to something besides the other ones provided here I would -- do you think I want to be a stinky prairie dog (or at least I think that is what it is)?

The show is boring. I *get* it and find it occasionally mildly amusing at best but never would i ever laugh out loud. There are much funnier shows ontv (Curb Your Enthusiasm, SATC. The Office). Also, I think I have heard "d'oh!" about eight million times in my life too much, which is a lot since I dont really watch the show. Maybe if I was forced to watch it like ten weeks in a row I would develop an appreciateion. BUt that isnt gonna happen. Hype isnt enough to lure me in, which is why I wont see LOTR, The Matrix or Matrix 2, Harry Potter or whatever lese stuff that is s upposed to be sooooooo good but isnt my thing. Ef that.

I dont love all reality tv. I like survivor when there is good strategy going on (which has been like twice) and good interplay. Ditto Big Brother which is probably my favorite. AMazing Race is still obring to me though I tried to watch it this season. Like the travelogue aspect of it though. But its boring. And I like ForLoveOrMoney bc it is revenge of the bims and the frist time we see the "bachelor" as they all really are. To me, it mocks reality dating tv. I also love Last Comic but fell asleep early on Tuesday and sadly, mnissed it. But I love stand up comics and a house full of them is likely a house full of smart, neurotic and highly observant people. Like me. And I loved AI for reasons I could not begin to explail bc I thought I would hate it and didnt watch the first season. I dont know how I even ended up watching the second I have not tried to watch any of the rest of the shows and wont. After all, I am a kayak owner.

Oh, and Blind Date is still the standard for reality dating .

Sex and the City might be the worst and most overhyped show on television. I have yet to see writers strain harder to seem hip and cutting edge. Its a total metrosexual show, and metrosexuals take themselves way too serious to be funny at all. I think the show provides a nice fantasy for people who have no idea what living in a city is really like. Its a sort of cheap Bret Easton Ellis ode to the alleged hipness and coolness of urban upper middle class living. The characters are dull, the plot each week is a repetitive rehashing of the same cutesy observations, "outrageous" sexual exlpoits of Samantha and cloying from the chick who used to be married to Kyle McLaghlan. Oh, and there's the redhead with the kid. She's a lawyer and her ex bugs her a bit from time to time. And at the end, to ensure that middle America does not think the main character is a morally vacant zero, she spews some Hallmarky obervation on the diffuclty of being a chick in the city. "See, deep down, Sarah Jessica Parker's character is just like all of us... she just wants to be loved."

Crap. Utter mindless drivel in a hip package.

Agreed, however, that Curb Your Enthusiasm is simply fantastic.

As to LOTR, Matrix, Hulk etc... people who rush out to see those things crack me up. I wonder if they stay at home and play Dungeons and Dragons when they don't have sci fi fantasies to drool over. If its got wizards, unicorns, warlocks, elves, or any form of forest nymph, faery or goblin in it, I ain't watching it. Star Wars is about as far as I go with the sci-fi nonsense.

Your avatar should be a six of bud ice or whatever your drink perhaps superimposed over a trailer?

I tried to bring my beloved Bud, Thrashers and Braves together but alas I am incapable of creating an avatar and thus am stuck with whatever is available here. :sobbing:

People in Akron LOVE Sex and the City.

They don't like it when you call it Sex and Ohio.

They sure are sensitive about being square.

2) Your avatar needs a revision also. So does Anne Elk's.

1. No, but she probably fits the web site definition of a Masshole.

2. Any suggestions beyond its ability to amuse you? Are you sure that my screen name is okay? I only aim to please.

I'm technically challenged, fuck me. And yes, the article was long, but I fell asleep before I finished reading it, so it really didn't seem long to me.
