    - [deleted]
  - all of the above, most likely. -- nm - znufrii Dec 23, 12:08 15

        [deleted]
        
        Not much. At that point, though, if you *build* the outline, you're already half done. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 23, 12:15
      - [deleted]
- do you have trouble focusing or getting started?.... - Capstern Dec 23, 12:04

well, here's an office gift exchange gone bad.... - Andie Cane Dec 23, 12:01 42
- Supposition: her husband has either dated, expressed an interest in, flirted with and stated the attractiveness of one of the calendar girls. -- nm - David Dec 23, 12:13 11
  - Also, they are all friends of friends, through the photographer, and therefore, possible acquantances -- nm - con_carne Dec 23, 12:16 8
    - i know the photographer, i don't know any of the models. dave doesn't even know the photographer. - Andie Cane Dec 23, 12:17 6
      - Facts, these are all facts. Something that jealous people are not known to heed. -- nm - con_carne Dec 23, 12:28
      - You've done this all wrong. You could have sent half of ST into apoplexy by suggesting you were in the calendar. -- nm - Roger More Dec 23, 12:22 3
        
        = total bitch -- nm - David Dec 23, 12:24
        
        what was i *thinking*? -- nm - Andie Cane Dec 23, 12:22 1
        
        I prefer to believe that you are in the calendar and have been lying all this time to cover it up. - The moossiah Dec 23, 12:24
      - PMS + hates the holidays = total bitch. -- nm - David Dec 23, 12:18
    - Relatedly, it could also be a woman she hates and she doesn't like her husband thinking she's hot. -- nm - David Dec 23, 12:17
  - Supposition: The woman is uptight and insecure. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 23, 12:15 1
    - This sort of overreaction generally goes beyond something like that. -- nm - David Dec 23, 12:15
- tell her to "keep fighting the dominant patriarchy" -- nm - Beryllium Dec 23, 12:11
- so that gift receiver's wife is apparently not good looking and has no self esteem -- nm - CQ Dec 23, 12:09 16
  - heh, (not true at all, though.) - Andie Cane Dec 23, 12:10 15
    - Some people would. In the end, it's the sex appeal aspect of the calendar that is the point, which makes it only a so-so work gift idea. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 23, 12:14 13
      - they are all professional graphic designers, they share a studio, there's a centipede game there for heaven's sake. - Andie Cane Dec 23, 12:15 12
        
        No, not saying that it is, but it *is* still a work environment, casual or not. - Name Withheld By Request Dec 23, 12:19 8
        
        i get that you think that, but you're wrong. - Andie Cane Dec 23, 12:21 7
        
        Sounds like a Hax question to settle it. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 23, 12:23 6
        
        oh, i don't actually care, it's just knowing the wife, i'm shocked. -- nm - Andie Cane Dec 23, 12:24 5
        
        What? That some women have a problem with pin-ups and the underlying notion behind them? - Name Withheld By Request Dec 23, 12:26 2
        
        her particular reaction. this isn't to start a debate. -- nm - Andie Cane Dec 23, 12:27 1
        
        Too late. You've intrigued me with the situation. (Though my post just below probably ends my portion. If it's not the photos, it's the couple.) - Name Withheld By Request Dec 23, 12:29
        
        (note - they have done work on photos of models for professional shots that have more - Andie Cane Dec 23, 12:25 1
        
        Okay, that's relevent information. That means it's probably more personal to their situation than to the objectification. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 23, 12:27
        
        i think i misread though: it's not the sexiness per se, but "how it depicts women" because they were objects to lust after back then? - TFox Dec 23, 12:17 2
        
        i think it is a feminist thing. -- nm - Andie Cane Dec 23, 12:18 1
        
        so then i claim ignorance. i am admittedly horrible at comprehending the depth of the feminist perspective sometimes. -- nm - TFox Dec 23, 12:19
    - yeah, that's odd. -- nm - CQ Dec 23, 12:13
- I'm sure my wife woudn't like me hanging a Jennifer Aniston calendar in our bedroom. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 23, 12:04 7
  - would she care if you had it over your desk at work? -- nm - Andie Cane Dec 23, 12:06 6
    - Make me take it down or forbid me from putting it up on the wall? No. But I'm sure she wouldn't like it. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 23, 12:19 1
      - see, this is crazy to me. if a friend gave me some silly beefcake calendar and i put it up at work, i couldn't imagine - Andie Cane Dec 23, 12:20
    - *nods* possibly. -- nm - TFox Dec 23, 12:06 3
      - really? fully clothed girls, in what look almost like illustrations done in the 50s would offend your wife? -- nm - Andie Cane Dec 23, 12:07 2
        
        well, that wasn't what I was responding to, so no, probably not that. -- nm - TFox Dec 23, 12:10 1
        
        (to clarify: if i was into design because i was a designed, and it was a calendar of cool designed shots to recreate something, almost definitely not. - TFox Dec 23, 12:13
- The first few sentences made me imagine a much worse outcome than this -- nm - con_carne Dec 23, 12:04 3
  - much *better*, for me! -- nm - prayformojo Dec 23, 12:04 2
    - It is humpday, so you win -- nm - con_carne Dec 23, 12:07

  - no, I just got back from xmas lunch. -- nm - tRuMaN Dec 23, 11:59
Would it be correct to say that sugar stimulates the appetite? - con_carne Dec 23, 11:58 1
- I do not think so. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 23, 12:12
From IDLYITW, "The ring is 12 carats and is worth $1.3M ". Jesus, Mike Fisher means business. -- nm - Shaun Dec 23, 11:56
A FB friend of mine just became a fan of "Realizing that the 'Krusty Krab' is in 'Bikini Bottom.'" - con_carne Dec 23, 11:52 1
- I'm sure its not unintentional. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 23, 11:54
