    - dave said this morning 'why didn't he just use prostitutes? women who will sleep with your cause your famous will obviously sell you out.' -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 3, 07:34 15
      - Or you sleep with them, but never give them your phone number. There have to be plenty of opportunities. No need to go back to the same one. - Dano Dec 3, 07:38

      - [deleted]
      - but prostitutes are anti-selling-out money? -- nm - TFox Dec 3, 07:36 3
        
        you don't hear prositutes doing often, do you? and there must be plenty of famous people who've done it. -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 3, 07:39 1
        
        no, but i bet its far more common for a celebrity to jam a random chick than a prostitute, and not all of them come out and say something either. - TFox Dec 3, 07:41
        
        if you keep coming back they would keep their yap shut...(unless you wanted it open...but I hear that is extra) -- nm - Beaker Dec 3, 07:36

      - my British tenant said this exact thing yesterday. -- nm - Max Dec 3, 07:35
      - heh I said this at coffee! go the Charlie Sheen route (although they often get busted too, but still better than a bunch of celebrity chasing hos) -- nm - Beaker Dec 3, 07:35 2
        
        at least Charlie used a service - the Hugh Grant situation was the stupidest. -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 3, 07:38 1
        
        (get. a. room.) -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 3, 07:40
      - I said last night "If you're all hot over someone else, go home and jerk off" - zork Dec 3, 07:35
    - geez, I'd never think of things like this, but then I haven't cheated. -- nm - zork Dec 3, 07:32 1
      - I haven't either, but it's pretty common sense. - Redmond, Go Ducks!!! Dec 3, 07:35
    - and when you have that much money get a lackey to call your hos for you... -- nm - Beaker Dec 3, 07:31 1
      - I think the arrogance that makes him great on the course also causes him to think he can get away with anything. -- nm - Redmond, Go Ducks!!! Dec 3, 07:33
- Wouldn't it be great if NO one showed up to this news conference? - Jim Dec 3, 07:29 1
  - Jim, znufrii's using your username...you might wanna talk to him about that. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 3, 07:30
Marvel Comic fans....Dark Avengers Annual is a must buy if you're reading Captain America. -- nm - Remlik Dec 3, 07:22

- Hey Comcast! Don't you hate Leno?! -- nm - Ender Dec 3, 07:36
- Quietest potential outcome: The NHL is well positioned to gain due to this. - Name Withheld By Request Dec 3, 07:33
Hey, Canadians! Your e-commerce offerings are CRAP! How 'bout you progress past 1992?! - Mop Dec 3, 07:12 20
- Why can't I buy a Canadian? -- nm - Dano Dec 3, 07:32 1
  - well, it's really just a matter of whether you can *afford* one. - Elf Andie Dec 3, 07:33
- Amazon.ca, imo, is the best online site we have for shopping. -- nm - Shaun Dec 3, 07:21
- maybe they feel that the extra crap you buy in-store more than makes up for the loss of online sales -- nm - zork Dec 3, 07:16
- They don't even have pictures of what you can buy, it's embarrassing. And don't get me started on amazon.ca -- nm - Roger More Dec 3, 07:14 13
  - Was it Canadian Tire that stopped online sales through their site a while ago? -- nm - zork Dec 3, 07:17 3
    - Yes, they found that they lost sales because people who go to CT for one or two items, typically buy more stuff. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 3, 07:26 1
      - which supports my original reply to this thread -- nm - zork Dec 3, 07:27
    - You can't buy on there now (not sure about before). But at least you can check their inventory and see if they have something in-store -- nm - Roger More Dec 3, 07:22
  - hate amazon.ca (I still buy the odd thing there but still hate them and their overpriced shit (compared to amazon.com)) -- nm - Beaker Dec 3, 07:17 8
    - and no mp3 sales still -- nm - zork Dec 3, 07:17 7
      - Who cares? We can d/l for free legally. -- nm - Shaun Dec 3, 07:21 6
        
        I wonder who would win in a war between the RIAA and Canada. I bet the RIAA. - TFox Dec 3, 07:22 3
        
        We pay some bs "blank media tax" that makes it legal. -- nm - Shaun Dec 3, 07:25 2
        
        I don't think that makes it legal. Isn't that compensation for the illegal acts happening -- nm - zork Dec 3, 07:27 1
        
        *sigh* It's not illegal then. -- nm - Shaun Dec 3, 07:29
        
        more like with impunity than legally -- nm - zork Dec 3, 07:22 1
        
        Fine. It's not illegal to d/l. -- nm - Shaun Dec 3, 07:22

Repost: Don't forget to set your NFL Pick 'ems, Survivors and FF teams - Bills/Jets today. -- nm - Beaker Dec 3, 07:11
yeah, there might be an organised "tail-gate party" in a roped off area but that's just a place for them to sell stuff to you. It doesn't happen at al - zork Dec 3, 07:07

- I don't get the tipping of your trainer...you pay him, if he doesn't like it hire another one (or just use a freakin' treadmill!) -- nm - Beaker Dec 3, 07:19 27
  - depends. If the trainer is working out of the gym, he only sees a fraction of what the gym charges you for his services, so tipping is appropriate - znufrii Dec 3, 07:22 24
    - Sweet...cause I only make a fraction of what the St. Louis U doctors charge for their service. Can't wait for my top... -- nm - Jim Dec 3, 07:26 1
      - OR tip. -- nm - Jim Dec 3, 07:26
    - by that argument, dawson should be asking for tips from his clients :) -- nm - Roger More Dec 3, 07:23 13
      - apples and oranges, really. -- nm - znufrii Dec 3, 07:31 11
        
        No, the underlying principle is sound! -- nm - Roger More Dec 3, 07:33 9
        
        not really. you're equating two completely different classes of work. -- nm - znufrii Dec 3, 07:36 8
        
        I am just taking your statement to its logical conclusion. - Roger More Dec 3, 07:41 1
        
        see my response to Jim, below -- nm - znufrii Dec 3, 07:44
        
        No...you're argument was that the trainer only gets a fraction of your membership fee. Dawson only gets a fraction of what his firm makes on a case. - Jim Dec 3, 07:39 2
        
        [deleted]
        
        my argument was for a particular class of work. The other examples you cite are different classes of work, therefore the same argument does not apply. -- nm - znufrii Dec 3, 07:41
        
        classes of work? wtf is this? the victorian age? -- nm - zork Dec 3, 07:38 2
        
        simply that they are in two separate categories - znufrii Dec 3, 07:40 1
        
        you're wrong. dawson is nothing more than a glorified admin professional. suck it up, princess - Roger More Dec 3, 07:43
        
        Can't wait to see how you come up with this? -- nm - Jim Dec 3, 07:33
      - [deleted]
    - if the gym isn't paying him enough then he should get a job somewhere else -- nm - zork Dec 3, 07:23 7
      - don't stress it. there is no such thing as an artist who isn't pro-tipping. he's gonna need that money someday. -- nm - TFox Dec 3, 07:24 6
        
        [deleted] 5
        
        actually... - znufrii Dec 3, 07:33 3
        
        [deleted]
        
        i mean, you made a Thanksgiving video for Youtube. what more does he want from you? -- nm - TFox Dec 3, 07:35 1
        
        (spoiler) - znufrii Dec 3, 07:36
        
        in his heart, jack. an artist in his heart. -- nm - TFox Dec 3, 07:32
  - Yes. Or, for that matter, who the heck tips their mailman? - Don Homer Dec 3, 07:20 1
    - and paperboy -- nm - zork Dec 3, 07:21
- The full list of people I tip: Waiters, Waitresses, Bartenders. -- nm - Ender Dec 3, 07:13 22
  - don't forget the strippers! single moms need tips too -- nm - ceregon Dec 3, 07:31 3
    - without a doubt...always tip your stripper. -- nm - Jim Dec 3, 07:32 2
      - But what if you wanna shaft them? -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 3, 07:33 1
        
        then they stop being a stripper, I guess. Do you tip a pro? I don't know. -- nm - Jim Dec 3, 07:34
  - Speaking of bartenders...do you tip after every drink? Or just drop a big tip at the end of the night? - Jim Dec 3, 07:31 3
    - I generally go every drink, depending slightly on how I'm doing on tip-appropriate dollar bills. -- nm - Ender Dec 3, 07:38 1
      - I tip every drink unless I am running a tab. -- nm - Redmond, Go Ducks!!! Dec 3, 07:40
    - I tend to tip one lump sum. - Will Hunting Dec 3, 07:33
  - i am getting some sort of small gift for my buildings superintendent, i think that's it this year. -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 3, 07:27
  - Add Barber to that list and that's me too. -- nm - Redmond, Go Ducks!!! Dec 3, 07:23 11
    - Taxi drivers -- nm - Roger More Dec 3, 07:24 10
      - Yes, I don't taxis so I am sure I would. Also the cruises I went on Tipping is manditory. -- nm - Redmond, Go Ducks!!! Dec 3, 07:27 1
        
        dont use taxis -- nm - Redmond, Go Ducks!!! Dec 3, 07:27
      - but all of those are more: pay/tip as use types of things rather than tipping someone for a year's worth of service - Beaker Dec 3, 07:25 7
        
        Oh that's true - I don't tip anyone annually -- nm - Roger More Dec 3, 07:27 6
        
        Me either. I never tipped the paper boy when I got a paper -- nm - Redmond, Go Ducks!!! Dec 3, 07:28 5
        
        an actual kid paper boy? i would tip them. -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 3, 07:29 4
        
        there are no paper *boys* that I know of now. in fact I had a couple of friends who drove around doing it for years. -- nm - zork Dec 3, 07:31 2
        
        my mom still has one, it's charming. not in big cities though. -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 3, 07:32 1
        
        I live out in the sticks. A lot of the houses are too far apart for a bike to manage to get to them all in a morning. -- nm - Redmond, Go Ducks!!! Dec 3, 07:37
        
        No a dude that drove around in his car tossing papers. - Redmond, Go Ducks!!! Dec 3, 07:30
  - word -- nm - Beaker Dec 3, 07:20
- Tipping culture is crazy. I think if you're tipping more than, say, you're spending on a sibling's Christmas present, then that's too much -- nm - Roger More Dec 3, 07:11 8
  - [deleted] 6
    - "I'm not giving you $100 now but have recommended a $1000 raise for you ..." - zork Dec 3, 07:19 4
      - if dawson doesn't gift his secretary in some way, that's crap. -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 3, 07:30 3
        
        [deleted]
        
        that was a tongue-in-cheek post -- nm - zork Dec 3, 07:34
        
        I agree with this, scretaries are a totally different kettle of fish -- nm - Beaker Dec 3, 07:33
    - You can't not take care of your secretary. I think that one's obvious. - TFox Dec 3, 07:18
  - i pretty much totally agree with this. -- nm - TFox Dec 3, 07:13
- make their "tip" a donation to The Human Fund... -- nm - Beaker Dec 3, 07:10
- has your salary really gone down? -- nm - decline Dec 3, 07:09 1
  - [deleted]
- Personally, I would tip flat to maybe one or two less people. But that's just me. -- nm - TFox Dec 3, 07:09 16
  - [deleted] 14
    - Maybe not if you only tip those three. I assume those New Yorker articles tell you to tip way more people than that. - TFox Dec 3, 07:16 13
      - [deleted] 12
        
        why is there any need to tip a trainer? -- nm - zork Dec 3, 07:20 5
        
        Training is pretty much a commodity service -- nm - Roger More Dec 3, 07:25
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        nearly every employee in the world is getting robbed blind by their boss. what makes trainers more deserving? -- nm - zork Dec 3, 07:25 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        didn't mean to say you are for this. It's like why are coffee shop workers suddenly deserving of tips but sandwich makers are not? -- nm - zork Dec 3, 07:30
        
        didn't you just move in? can't you prorate that one to like $50? -- nm - TFox Dec 3, 07:18 3
        
        [deleted]
        
        I saw that Friends episode :) -- nm - Roger More Dec 3, 07:19
        
        or a couple bjs in the elevator -- nm - Don Homer Dec 3, 07:19
        
        but you only lived there for a part of the year. - znufrii Dec 3, 07:18
        
        lol -- nm - Don Homer Dec 3, 07:18
  - I kinda agree with this. -- nm - Inigo Dec 3, 07:13
- as far as the secretary is concerned, I'd regard that as a gift, not a tip. - znufrii Dec 3, 07:09 2
  - always take care of the people that take care of you. - 'lia Dec 3, 07:23
  - agreed -- nm - Beaker Dec 3, 07:09
- you're such a cheap bastard. -- nm - Don Homer Dec 3, 07:08 6
  - [deleted] 5
    - to the IM, yes, that is generally the definition. :) -- nm - znufrii Dec 3, 07:13 4
      - [deleted] 3
        
        I wasn't saying it was necessarily a bad thing... - znufrii Dec 3, 07:17 2
