RE: men age better than women

I think I'm about there exactly, Dana. If you're 44 - then I need to be at least 10 years older to match your maturity level, and by some coincidence I meet that criterion exactly.

RE: Who has the most imaginative / fun / creative profile pictures???

Damn it, Uli, you're supposed to be ending this charade and handing the title to me, not cheerleading for the pretty boy Robert!!?

Seriously, that's pretty hard to believe for me, too. If STYLE were the criterion, Robert would surely win hands-down.

RE: men age better than women

An average 21 year old? That old, Dana??!

RE: Who has the most imaginative / fun / creative profile pictures???

RIght, Autumn would definitely be in contention. As would Uli herself. I'm not sure that collection of giant phalli sculptures I seem to remember being displayed in one of her photos would qualify as "creative," but they certainly are quite risible.

RE: Have u ever gone to the movies alone?

Times beyond count, Pearl, times beyond count.

RE: Who has the most imaginative / fun / creative profile pictures???

Come on, Uli, close this damn poll/contest before someone does something to draw attention to it!

I can just feel the Dark One-Eyed Lord plotting my demise in the background. When I foolishly dared to gaze into its soulless abyss, I could feel my will melting, my very self dissipating, like one of those selfless ghouls Constanza so admires...and I'm not ashamed to admit that it chilled me to the core of my virtual soul....

So I'm asking, can we just end this thing, Uli? I can almost feel the golden statue of "Most Creative Photographic Profile" in my sweaty hands (and am wondering how much it will fetch on Ebay).

RE: If you were betrayed by your boyfriend/girlfriend or husband/wife...you would

I don't want to make light of what your ex-wife did, FF. I'd rather make more of what you did - for yourself - by forgiving her. It took a lot of character to do that, and it's ultimately the only way to get on happily living your life.

Of course, I'm sorry you had to go through this. There aren't many worse things to experience, I think.

RE: If you were betrayed by your boyfriend/girlfriend or husband/wife...you would

Right, but you could end it immediately *and* still (eventually) forgive him or her, I think. The problem with not forgiving is that it seems to usually lead to a bad case of festering soul-rot, if you'll excuse my graphic description...

RE: men age better than women

I appreciate the clarification, Detente.

There's no accounting for personal preferences...but hey, what about that blonde you led us to the other day? She sure as heck didn't have olive skin!?

RE: men age better than women

You certainly do have an eye for women, Detente, I'll grant you that. This lady has a real upbeat attitude, too, saying "the whole world is my oyster." I wrote to ask her if I might be her "pearl." I'm hoping she hasn't heard that one too often.

But what about our very own Athens (JLB684)? You can't tell me she isn't beautiful, and she's well into her fifties ("VERY well into her fifties, if I do say so!).

It's quite possible to look great in your fifties, or even sixties (my ex is still gorgeous). Just takes good camera work, the right lighting, and a massive supply of makeup for most of us.

RE: men age better than women

The accuracy of your perceptions? (My first thought.)

RE: Who has the most imaginative / fun / creative profile pictures???

Okay, step away from The Eye, Firstlight, do not, whatever you do, stare into the Eye...oh...crap....too late...

RE: Who has the most imaginative / fun / creative profile pictures???

Yup. Just as I thought.

You know, Bode, I owned a bull terrier myself, once. Great dog. But even sillier than me. Not a good quality in a dog, I guess - he once made a bad pun to an Irish Wolfhound, and ended up getting eaten.

Okay, the above is true, except for the part about him being a great dog. (His name was Sharken, btw :-)

RE: On Noise

I lived next to this f**kin* kid back in California that used to beat on his damn drums like most adolescent boys beat on something else...except not nearily as esthetically in his case.

I complained to the neighbor, explaining that I had just finished reading the same sentence five times, thanks to her noisy son. She replied that she didn't want to stifle his creativity. I offered to stifle it for him.

RE: Who has the most imaginative / fun / creative profile pictures???

Yeah, you're welcome for my virtually making a virtual offer of a vote...

Did you realize that your eye is the same color as mine? Great Eyes think alike?

RE: Who has the most imaginative / fun / creative profile pictures???

Hey, Rave...like your new pic, bro'! Looking kind of mischievous yourself, aren't you?

RE: On Noise

In your typically overblown way, I think you've stated something which has an element of truth, Ray. Actually, I tend to agree - that very intelligent people prefer quiet for their study or various contemplations. One of my greatest practical fears is living next to someone who plays loud music (heavily featuring bass) or drums, or who own a constantly barking dog. In fact, that was one of the central reasons for my move to South Dakota. I can't see ever going back to endless sound-mayhem of the city - except to visit, of course.

RE: On Noise

I was starting to type a reply, but the incessant clacking of my fingers on the keyboard is driving me nuts...

RE: have you ever worn a straw hat in public? (controversial I know!)

Then who the heck is this blond UK chick I've got tied up on my bed who's been making non-stop dirty jokes? I guess I should ask her name again...

RE: Who has the most imaginative / fun / creative profile pictures???

Hahahahaha...(slaps hands jubilantly together) I can almost taste it...finally, a bona fide award...heh heh...now comes the life of luxury I've always dreamed of....

And to think that damn Cusp almost ruined all my precious dreams. The guy's coming on like a rhino in heat...but thankfully, Uli's about to end the poll. Muuuaaaahhhhh...?

RE: have you ever worn a straw hat in public? (controversial I know!)

Just when I thought you couldn't sink any lower in your depravity, Falling.

But yeah, sure, I've worn one in public - if you count a small group of overweight and out-if-sorts fisherman "public."

RE: Who has the most imaginative / fun / creative profile pictures???

I woulda voted for you Falling, but that Eye. Damn, not another Eye Person. The more I look into it the more it creeeeeps me out, like looking deep into the recesses of my own soul only more darkly Irish...eerrrcchh!

RE: Who has the most imaginative / fun / creative profile pictures???

Damn, that bad boy gets my vote! (He is a boy, isn't he?)

Jeff

RE: Who has the most imaginative / fun / creative profile pictures???

Right, Uli, let's close this thing quick! Cusp is catching up with me!

RE: No guts no glory

Dear Lord. And I thought I had broad shoulders...

RE: Who has the most imaginative / fun / creative profile pictures???

Hmmm...I think I'd have to drink a lot more than this to do that, Ken (though I do kinda like the idea).

Winning? What a change. First I bombed in BEB's strip contest, then I was barely able to string together one funny line in the humor contest, so...this feels pretty good. Here's to you guys!

RE: Who has the most imaginative / fun / creative profile pictures???

Thanks, K. I wish you could be here to share in the revelry. There's a neat viney thing with your name on it that would look great in your hair.

RE: Who has the most imaginative / fun / creative profile pictures???

Hey, Daughter. But the critical question is: Is Luverhunk still here? Can't have too many of these intellectually gifted and modest types clambering about, can we?

RE: LEGALISING OF GUNS

What kinds of guns, Aries? Plenty are already legal here - in fact, I own a deadly arsenal of them, and yet somehow don't seem to be inclined to start shooting everyone around me. Same with most of the people who live hereabouts. Other countries where citizens are allowed to be heavily armed (Switzerland and Israel) also seem to lack this proclivity.

RE: No guts no glory

Yeah, Beb, I've resolved to go on a new diet, too -- one featuring the most delicious carbs ever known to man or woman. I'm sick and tired of starving myself and exercising like a gerbil just to fit into a toga.

So this morning, Trudy, I'm eating dessert crepes bursting with whipped cream, French pancakes smothered in strawberry marmalade, rich, creamy Morrocan coffee, and a generous helping of French pastries heavily dusted with powdered sugar. I don't even want to talk about what I'm having for lunch, T, because that would be cruel.

But best of luck with your New Year's resolutions, Trudy, and your campaign to win Ms. CS 2008!!
