I can't recall them by name, but I watched the women's gymnastics just
last night and was greatly disappointed - there were no women, there
were not even girls, there were A BUNCH OF LITTLE CHILDREN! Jesus!

I was waiting to see beautiful, trimmed women bouncing all around the
floor with their hair flowing freely..you know. Or was it some kind of a
age-limited contest?

On the other hand I don't like the sports programs that much, because
the cameramen^H^H^Hpeople don't have a fucking clue: they're filming the
entire race just like I would be interested in it, whereas I only want
to see top-trimmed beautiful people! Just to think of the 100m runners'
asses..the arms of the swimmers..the elasticity of the gymnastics'
bodies..and the TOTAL CONTROL they all have over it.

But no, these sucking camerapeople never catch the right parts and views
of the athletes! It makes me feel like a goddamn Peeping Tom trying to
enjoy the absolute beauty of their bodies and concentration.

(Something ugly? The weighlifters' legs...just look at the disgusting
difference between their thighs and the rest of the legs, or even the
rest of the whole goddamn hunk of meat!)

If you're that curious, go watch ten good porno movies, take lots

It's one of my favorites too.  I took a camping trip a couple of years ago
and had this real nice CD system in my truck.  The guy I went with was a 
musician and we tried to choose appropriate music for the scenery as we
drove to our destination.  I put on Dvorak's 9th for the drive through
Yosemite.  It was quite appropriate for the grandeur of Yosemite.

Although there is a strong cultural bias against young-man/older-woman
relationships, the cultural bias is certainly based on a more
fundamental genetic tendancy against this kind of relationship.
  From a social point of view it seems that the basic issue is one
of fertility.  Older men are still able to father children at quite
an advanced age, whereas older women cannot provide children past
a certain age.  Also, an older man, being further 'up' the social
hierachy, is able to provide better for the children than a younger
poorer and less skilled male.
  The cultural biases stem from the basic instictual reactions against
this type of relationship, reinforcing this taboo.
  Don't get me wrong - I'm not against older woman/younger man 
relationships - but I think it is true to say that there is a basic
view that the norm is that the man should be older than the woman.

Actually, I hadn't thought of that, but now that you mention it, I do

and, in each case, it was a pretty short-lasting marriage.

     Not as far as I'm concerned.  My PsuedoStepDaughter is almost 13, so
nailing a 14 year old would be like nailing one of her friends in another
year.  That's something I can't imagine at all, since 14 year olds, even
relatively mature young ladies, are still babies at that age.  Shoot, I'm not
interested in women in their early 20's, let alone teens.  Comes back to a
simple philosophy of mine; never fool around with someone whose father might
be younger than me.

I usually don't unless the customer seems like they are open for chit chat.  
As far as tips go, it chatting up the customer doesn't seem to be a factor.  
I've had customer's where they were happy with everything and let me know it
and I was friendly, yet they didn't tip even 15%.  I think it depends on the

Not necessarily, but I have met alot of people through the restaurant I work

Don't mean to start that US-Canada thread again, but I found the rules
for this sweepstakes entry to be very amusing:

This is an excerpt from the official rules for a sweepstakes entry form from
FLYING magazine. The entry form consists of the usual bunch of certificates
with assigned numbers on which you have to stick corresponding stamps from
other parts of the mailing and send it in. There are no other requirements
or tasks for US residents. However, the magazine apparently wishes to 
dissuade too many Canadians from winning. So the following is in small print,

So there's this fellow whose wife is nagging at him
for weeks, saying "They say that a bath in beer is good for the 
complexion, please, love, get me a barrel of beer so I can bathe
in it."
 
The husband just mutters "Of all the silly things I've heard in my
life, that has to be the silliest. Waste good beer for bathing in."

But she keeps on, and eventually it wears him down. One day, he 
arrives at the door, rolling a barrel full of beer. "Oh, you're
the most wonderful husband a woman could ever have!" exclaims
the wife, in her joy. 
 
"Just be quiet and enjoy your bath, it won't happen again," growls
the old man.
 
And <thunk> <thunk> <thunk>, up the stairs he rolls the barrel. He
pours the beer in the tub and says to her "now, when you get out,
don't pull the stopper until you call down to me and I say it's
alright!"
 
"Of course," says she, "anything for the most wonderful husband in
the world!"
 
Down the stairs <thunkathunkathunka> he rolls the empty barrel,
all the way to the basement. Down there, he disconnects the 
drain from the plumbing where it comes down from the tub, and
places the barrel under it.
 
An hour or so later, the shout comes from upstairs "I'm out of the
tub, dearest!" 
 
"Okay," he says, "you can pull the stopper," and he watches as the
barrel fills up... ...and overflows by one cupful.
 
The next thing we hear is the husband, running up the stairs, roaring
"how COULD you!?!?!"
