You are probably right. The fact that every time she has seen them she has said that "they cost too much" is really womanspeak for " I really want it"

You got it!



Every time I've gotten my wife a gift that "costs too much", there was much peace and joy in the land (and the bedroom).

Ya the more I think about it , the more I am thinking I better buy an overpriced purse .

Oh and ditto on paying too much . They protest a little but then I'm in total agreement on the much joy comment.

JohnT, just be careful with your joy since I'm hoping we won't see another "My daughter caught us" thread.

What's the best way to pwn someone?

IMO, to cite and link them saying or doing the opposite from what they're currently saying.

For example, check out this thread. Aggie rants on and on about an unreleased Spielberg production about the '72 Olympics, calling me ignorant... until I pwned him by throwing his words in a Michael Moore thread back in his face. It's classic pwnage, if I may say so myself.

Interestingly enough, Aggie didn't show up on these boards for 3 days after that... in fact, after I posted that, he stopped posting and logged off. I know because I checked.

Otherwise, people just pwn themselves by usually getting their facts wrong.

Actually, my sig is about the power of pwning oneself, Kuci.

In the first quote, Aggie states: "Movies are crap because their target audience is the mass of moronic, shallow, ill-educated cretins that make up the most of humanity. "

The next quote is Aggie talking about a movie. Which, according to him, by default its target audience is the "mass of moronic, shallow, ill-educated cretins that make up the most of humanity." I.e., himself, apparently, because he made this quote after seeing... a movie. Note that this line is about how one shouldn't rant against a movie until one has seen it.

The last quote is Aggie ranting about a movie that not only has he not seen, but hasn't even been made!

Dear JohnT, I´m being attacked by 4 Giant Mosquitos and I have none of the conventional means to fight them, just a dagger, a pirate´s hand and his eye, a thenchcoat and pointy hat. What should I do?
I have 2 friends with me, a Mountain Goat and an Evil Finnish Witch Doctor.

Mosquitos:
One has 1hp and there´s another mosquito attached to him, sucking his blood, there are three more, two with 4hp and one with 5hp.
I only have 3hp left...

Will the emphasis on anal sex be a fad? Or is it here to stay. The same with oral sex.

Anybody can pump out 2000 words on genes (an aspect of cell biology) with little effort, I would think.

So, you actually have 5 giant mosquitos if I'm reading this correctly, 'cause once that first one is dead, the one attached is coming at you.

In that case I would invoke the spell of Reload, if possible. If you haven't saved in a while, that's your own tough luck.

Get hired or do an internship as a bookkeeper* or a bank teller. Any job that has you adding numbers in a business environment will be better than a college job waiting tables or delivering pizza.

And how do you get hired? You, personally, go to every business in the town, hand out resumes, and say that you're looking for a basic accounting or bookkeeping position, and you'll be glad to interview if one is available. Eventually you'll get to some guy who likes your moxie, has a need, and they'll hire you on the spot.

*Are there any other words in the English language that have three double-letter combinations in a row?
