Speak for yourself.  I had two with lunch just today.  Nothing like a couple

First:  I was afraid that no one was going to see Karen's lovely little
pun hidden away in the keywords field like that, so I wanted to put it in
the subject header where everyone could appreciate it.

Second:  Just in case anyone is getting frightened away from the 
BostonBoink by the thought of any lack of respect being shown to their
hindparts, I NEVER claimed that a mere visit to Boston was enough to
proclaim one pickle-arsed.  If that were the case, then even I, having
lived here for two years, would have that dubious honor.  And we all know
that's silly, don't we?  No, it's the incorrigible east coast types, the
ones who were born and lived all their lives in New England, who behave
as if they had pickles up their rears.  But that's OK Karen, don't take
it personally, some of my best friends have pickles up their butts. :-)

Third:  While it's true that her majesty the baby was born in Boston,
I intend for her to spend enough time in the midwest where people are
sane that she'll escape this affliction.  No daughter of mine is going 
to be too stuffy to drink Strawberry Hill on appropriate occasions.

I used to know a guy at school who shaved his legs, he claimed that it would
help him his race times when he swam competitively. The girls didn't believe
him and teased him mercilessly. He got a lot of attention from them...

Damn I was jealous! (of the attention that is..:-)

I've personally found this to be a "love conquers all" kind of thing.  I
never thought I could find back hair attractive.  Then I fell madly in

hair was great.

Comment:

I've met guys who (I thought) there was that chemistry and so on, we got on
brilliantly, etc. BUT they still weren't interested in anything more than
friendship, if that.

Why?




I'm beginning to think there *is* no such thing as love at first sight.

Haven't been watching _Donohue_ lately?  A couple of weeks ago, Phil was
broadcasting from the Mustang Ranch in Nevada, a legal brothel.  His guests
were Joe Conforte (the owner), three employees, and two frequent customers.
Most of the people in the audience were locals, and the majority seemed to
be pro-brothel.  Conforte had beaten the IRS on his tax problems, and he
had some choice remarks on the federal government's inability to run his
business (that's right: the feds didn't close it down; they operated it).
One reason for the audience's attitude is that the Mustang Ranch is a major
business in the area and Conforte is a major contributor to civic causes.

My original point was that intelligence is becoming a sexual
selection trait (because of its increased survival value).  Since
your friend was another woman, which makes her, I presume, a
member of the inappropriate sex (MOTIS? -- I don't know all the
Newsgroup terminology), her behavior had no positive social value.

   I know what you mean.  My curly blonde hair is as long as it has ever
   been -- a few inches lower than my sholders.  (My beard is getting
   there too, but that's only a littly over a years growth.)  I'm trying
   to decide how long to grow it -- the middle of my back seems about
   right.

Envy.  Extreme envy.  I wish I could let my hair grow long.  I really
do.  But I tried it once (in high school).  I just found a picture of
it.  UGH!  It looks like someone was holding a big black fuzzy
basketball behind my head!

The horror!  The horror!

That's all very well, but the word "gazongas" I don't find particularly
complimentary.

And for all the discussion (drooling) over breast size, I find that although I
get a lot of comments (mostly silly words like "gazongas") most guys I've
heard talking and talked to don't like huge breasts (in NZ, anyway).  They seem
to have no use other than novelty value.
