I'm in gamer heaven right now. Guitar Hero, Assassins Creed II, CoD: MWII, Wii Sports Resort, Mario Kart.... - Stephen Dec 26, 13:19 2
- *wakes up at first note of GH* -- nm - bubba Dec 26, 13:22
- *likes this* -- nm - con_carne Dec 26, 13:20
Just told/asked the boy what I might be planning to do. His response: (wtf!) - Hotkiss Dec 26, 12:50 27
- Oh sure, I get back and immediately there's homework. -- nm - the liioulu with mitten toe Dec 26, 13:22
- and what would you have thought if he had forfid it? lose lose for him... -- nm - Beaker Dec 26, 13:17
- Uh, does this mean he assumes you feel the same way, should the tables be turned? There are trust issues here, going both ways. -- nm - con_carne Dec 26, 13:09 10
  - they've only been dating a month - Guy Dec 26, 13:12 9
    - The first month should be the month you are most picky. - Red Nosed Reindeer Poop Dec 26, 13:16 1
      - oh, im not arguing in favor of the boy, i just think its funny how carne phrased it as 'trust issues' -- nm - Guy Dec 26, 13:20
    - If HK is worried enough about her diet while he is away, she may be worried about stuff he does, too. Just saying. -- nm - con_carne Dec 26, 13:13 6
      - Her diet? What? -- nm - mara Dec 26, 13:19 4
        
        I thought it turned out to be about eating meat. I could be wrong. -- nm - con_carne Dec 26, 13:21 2
        
        heh. no, that was another guy she already dumped -- nm - Guy Dec 26, 13:23
        
        If so, I completely missed that. -- nm - mara Dec 26, 13:22
        
        Yeah I was reading back posts. I didn't know we had a specific on it yet. -- nm - Red Nosed Reindeer Poop Dec 26, 13:20
      - (she is also WTFing about his reaction, which to me sounded natural in their stage) -- nm - con_carne Dec 26, 13:17
- not the typical fare for a series' Xmas episode but, what the hey -- nm - mr. squiggles Dec 26, 13:07
- He may not want to hear about individual instances, but his knowing that you'll continue doing this thing you want to do is important. It's better - mara Dec 26, 12:58
- Not that I know much about this man. I do know you from ST pretty well. This is rebound guy. - Red Nosed Reindeer Poop Dec 26, 12:57
- my take: he'd rather have you not tell him about something you know he doesn't care for rather than tell him you won't do it and then do it anyway - dogbert Dec 26, 12:56
- if it's a dealbreaker for him, either you honor it or find someone for whom it isn't a dealbreaker -- nm - mr. squiggles Dec 26, 12:53 1
  - unless she's just looking for a fling. but otherwise yeah, not exactly conducive to closeness and intimacy. -- nm - kare Dec 26, 13:01
- how long have you been dating? - Guy Dec 26, 12:52 6
  - She was just hoping you'd curb her for her indiscretions. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 26, 12:58 2
    - Ding!! Very possible. I have used the nuclear option before. - Red Nosed Reindeer Poop Dec 26, 13:00 1
      - we broke it off about a month before she returned, but a few weeks after she was back... - Guy Dec 26, 13:02
  - bwah. that's cold -- nm - mr. squiggles Dec 26, 12:58
  - about a month. - Hotkiss Dec 26, 12:53 1
    - i think she wanted me to break up with her, so she didnt have to. - Guy Dec 26, 12:58
- 1) don't ask 2) that *is* kind of WTF. -- nm - kare Dec 26, 12:52
Chad Ochocinco(notes) says that if he scores a touchdown Sunday vs. the Chiefs, he�ll throw a pi�ata into the stands filled with 2,000 dollar bills. -- nm - David Dec 26, 12:48 7
- He's pointless when he pre-announces things just so that he can be told not to do them -- nm - stewie Dec 26, 12:52
- "Scores of Chiefs fans trampled to death when wide receiver throws cash-filled pinata into the stands" -- nm - mr. squiggles Dec 26, 12:51 2
  - I have trouble believing the phrase "scores of Chiefs fans". -- nm - David Dec 26, 12:54
  - Like there were more than 15 people in the stands :) -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 26, 12:53
- In honor of Chris Henry? - Red Nosed Reindeer Poop Dec 26, 12:49 2
  - in honor of Pacman Jones, once fans collect the money, he'll demand it back -- nm - Guy Dec 26, 12:51 1
    - And then shoot an usher in the spine. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 26, 12:54
I think I may be being blown off for avatar. hmmmm. maybe lunch instead. -- nm - amanda Dec 26, 12:37
Being a meatasauraus, dating/marrying a vegetarian isn't all that bad, the hardest part was having to cook two separate meals most of the time. - Stephen Dec 26, 12:32 33
- Did she eat any of the roast? -- nm - con_carne Dec 26, 12:34 32
  - A little bit, not much though. She eats a lot of chicken, and hamburger, but she's not a big fan of chops, steak, or roasts. - Stephen Dec 26, 12:37 31
    - Ah, my twin was a vegetarian for years and years, but then - con_carne Dec 26, 12:40 27
      - For her it was the cravings (McD's cheeseburgers) she started having when she was pregant. - Stephen Dec 26, 12:47 26
        
        i always hear pregnancy can do it. eek. -- nm - kare Dec 26, 12:51 25
        
        (note: not expecting.) -- nm - kare Dec 26, 12:51 24
        
        Like there's any other reason to get engaged! -- nm - David Dec 26, 12:55 9
        
        *questioning look toward the living room* - Will Hunting Dec 26, 12:56 8
        
        pfffft. -- nm - kelly Dec 26, 12:57
        
        I was waiting until Halo to mention it but yes! I got it this afternoon. Jason Heyward and I thank you! -- nm - David Dec 26, 12:56 6
        
        That's, iirc, his first professional card from 2007. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 26, 12:57 5
        
        Love. You. -- nm - David Dec 26, 13:01 4
        
        *air kiss* - Will Hunting Dec 26, 13:05
        
        13 hours too late! -- nm - Stephen Dec 26, 13:04 1
        
        errr - Stephen Dec 26, 13:06
        
        hey, back off!! - kelly Dec 26, 13:03
        
        (yet) -- nm - kare si Dec 26, 12:53 13
        
        true. -- nm - kare Dec 26, 13:00 12
        
        I am back in the "I would like children" camp. - Red Nosed Reindeer Poop Dec 26, 13:02 11
        
        That's willing to put up with my crap :) NOW that would pretty much narrow the field -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 26, 13:18 1
        
        Guy found someone!!! -- nm - Red Nosed Reindeer Poop Dec 26, 13:19
        
        might i suggest that you exclude that from your criteria? - Guy Dec 26, 13:06 5
        
        no offense, but imho this is terrible advice -- nm - kare Dec 26, 13:08 4
        
        just seems like approaching a women with that kind of looming demand isn't going to help - Guy Dec 26, 13:11 2
        
        I agree with kare on this. Having a set of criteria on your search is a smart move. - Red Nosed Reindeer Poop Dec 26, 13:15 1
        
        fwiw, i dont think those things are analogous with the things you mention - Guy Dec 26, 13:19
        
        Starting from a clean slate with no woman in mind I agree. - Red Nosed Reindeer Poop Dec 26, 13:10
        
        once you're in your 30s, it's really tough. - kare Dec 26, 13:05 2
        
        That is why I didn't have kids with my ex. - Red Nosed Reindeer Poop Dec 26, 13:08 1
        
        um, your IM was my whole point -- nm - Guy Dec 26, 13:22
    - So wow. Like, she eats meat now because of a man (and kid) and Guy doesn't eat meat because of a woman. It's universal balance on display. -- nm - Red Nosed Reindeer Poop Dec 26, 12:40 2
      - i actually cut out everything but fish from my diet before we started dating. - Guy Dec 26, 13:15
      - heh -- nm - Stephen Dec 26, 12:44
I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I would go vegan forever if I could find someone who's the bomb at ironing. - Loyola Dec 26, 12:30 6
- Ironing = Dryer on high then toss in a wet towel. -- nm - Red Nosed Reindeer Poop Dec 26, 12:32 2
  - Word. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Dec 26, 12:34
  - heh The Bachelor Trick (nm) - Stephen Dec 26, 12:33
- good luck with that. i haven't ironed in years and years. i don't believe in it. - kare Dec 26, 12:32 2
  - hippie! :) -- nm - Guy Dec 26, 12:57
  - *high five* Pac NWers don't iron -- nm - Red Nosed Reindeer Poop Dec 26, 12:33
Curse you, Gargoyle Mouse...I'll catch you one day. -- nm - Tiny Tim Dec 26, 12:26 1
- I hadn't caught one until I went to the comet. - Stephen Dec 26, 12:34
My ex and I once vowed to go vegetarian for 3 months just to see how heavenly meat would taste after. We never did it. -- nm - Hotkiss Dec 26, 12:17 5
- Meat is overrated. - secretslacker Dec 26, 12:40
- two of my friends and I had a contest to see who could go longest without eating meat. sash and I tied for the win. - amanda Dec 26, 12:20 1
  - I would be like Kramer in that Seinfeld episode. *slaps the money down on the counter* I'm out. -- nm - Red Nosed Reindeer Poop Dec 26, 12:25
- Not even a kiss? -- nm - Loyola Dec 26, 12:19 1
  - L3 - dogbert Dec 26, 12:25
I was in a shop there on Christmas Eve looking for a nice shirt, it's a fairly expensive shop, but out of like maybe 100 shirts there was only one I - Loyola Dec 26, 12:14 3
- i tried to find a clothing item for my guy recently. i realized i have 1) no idea what's in fashion and 2) no idea what would look good on him - kare Dec 26, 12:16 2
  - He could just think you like him best with no clothes -- nm - con_carne Dec 26, 12:26
  - Good move. Don't ever buy clothes for guys. We're the worst. -- nm - Loyola Dec 26, 12:17
When I went vegan for almost a year I couldn't stand the thought of Fakon or tofurky, fake meat was like giving a recovering alki near beer - zeitgeist Dec 26, 12:13 13
- I was a total vegetarian for ~15 years. there's so much good veggie stuff, there just wasn't a need to ick it out with - b!, merry and bright. Dec 26, 12:18
- plus its fun to get creative: for Christmas breakfast, we made Silk Nog pancakes and grilled sausage in rum, oil and herb mix -- nm - Guy Dec 26, 12:17
- im not talking about the deli packages - those are gross. - Guy Dec 26, 12:17 4
  - au contraire. tofurky slices are the bomb. even the dogs clamor for them. -- nm - kare Dec 26, 12:23 1
    - on a cold sandwich they just don't work for me -- nm - Guy Dec 26, 12:27
  - seitan turkeys? its like why? so your relatives can think you are eating turkey too? agains I suppose its different for a recovering carnivore than - zeitgeist Dec 26, 12:20 1
    - not for impression - but for variety. for example i actually prefer the orange 'chicken' i get to real orange chicken - Guy Dec 26, 12:22
- i know, right? though i finally came around to fake meats. it had been so long since i'd had the real stuff it didn't turn me off anymore. - kare Dec 26, 12:14 5
  - The vegetarians who are protein starved are people who are actually starving - zeitgeist Dec 26, 12:17 4
    - i still eat seafood and that seems to do the trick for me - Guy Dec 26, 12:25
    - that's not true for everyone. -- nm - b!, merry and bright. Dec 26, 12:20
    - oh i know the "necessary protein" numbers are inflated, but personally i need more in order to feel sated - kare Dec 26, 12:18 1
      - there's a consolidated song that says that the food industry protein studies were done on rats, who, it has been discovered, need 50 times - amanda Dec 26, 12:22
kare, I would say this. Those guys that rejected you or thought your veg status was a negative? - Red Nosed Reindeer Poop Dec 26, 12:04 18
- oh, just a negative as far as i know. it's a bit of a hot button because it feels a little sexist when dudes say they couldn't ever date a vegetarian - kare Dec 26, 12:11 13
  - It's meatist!!! I have never been in a relationship where I wasn't the cook in the household. - Red Nosed Reindeer Poop Dec 26, 12:13 12
    - you've always been the chick? that expains alot -- nm - dogbert Dec 26, 12:14 11
      - Joking aside. Cooking a nice meal for a woman is a great skill to have. - Red Nosed Reindeer Poop Dec 26, 12:18 10
        
        joking aside? I can't have a conversation without joking -- nm - dogbert Dec 26, 12:22
        
        it's admittedly total chick porn. -- nm - kare Dec 26, 12:19 8
        
        I couldn't believe what a turn on it apparently was for me when the boy cooked for me the first time a few weeks ago. -- nm - Hotkiss Dec 26, 12:20 7
        
        my problem is my guy insists on doing all the traditionally dude type stuff, plus he does far more laundry, dishes, and general housework than i do - kare Dec 26, 12:27
        
        yeah, that line about the fastest way to a man's heart, actually it works a lot better the other way -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 26, 12:22 5
        
        sounds like it's not the fastest way to a woman's heart, but to her nu-nu -- nm - dogbert Dec 26, 12:24 4
        
        YSMM. After all, we're not the ones in this thread who compared cooking to porn ;) -- nm - con_carne Dec 26, 12:28 3
        
        Yeah, I very much took notice of that as well. I knew it was a great skill. I didn't know it was porn for chicks. -- nm - Red Nosed Reindeer Poop Dec 26, 12:29 1
        
        I mean, the ST husbands usually say that about cleaning house. It's all good, though. :) -- nm - con_carne Dec 26, 12:30
        
        mostly it's just terrific when a dude makes an effort - kare Dec 26, 12:29
- People's diet makes them smell a certain way, too, though. -- nm - con_carne Dec 26, 12:11 1
  - you really think so? maybe in extreme cases (kim chi, garlic) or their breath right after they eat it. -- nm - kare Dec 26, 12:28
- My intolerance for diet differences isn't about lack of acceptance or respect for me. It's about basic compatibility, or lack thereof. -- nm - Hotkiss Dec 26, 12:09 1
  - I wonder how znufrii got on over the Christmas. -- nm - Loyola Dec 26, 12:10
that was a fast board - lone canadian leafs fan Dec 26, 12:03 1
- Can you see my green-with-envy neck? -- nm - OAE Dec 26, 12:13
We now return you to ST's discussion of Our Bodies Ourselves ... . -- nm - ReluctantCynic Dec 26, 11:58 16
- Want to see Avatar today/tonight? -- nm - Red Nosed Reindeer Poop Dec 26, 11:58 15
  - Lemme check. I'm supposed to pick up a friend of mine from the train station. Where do you want to go? -- nm - ReluctantCynic Dec 26, 12:07 9
    - I have the car you don't. I can do what's convenient for you. - Red Nosed Reindeer Poop Dec 26, 12:08 8
      - Closest to me would be Cinetopia, then. And there's a 5 p.m. 3D show. - ReluctantCynic Dec 26, 12:11 7
        
        Confirm it because we probably need to buy the tickets in the next hour or risk a sell out. - Red Nosed Reindeer Poop Dec 26, 12:14 6
        
        Can't go today -- timing won't work. - ReluctantCynic Dec 26, 12:23 5
        
        *signs up for next weekend* -- nm - Guy Dec 26, 12:24 4
        
        Okay then guys. Next Saturday no exceptions, no more delays. (I am still seeing it again today) - Red Nosed Reindeer Poop Dec 26, 12:28 3
        
        Absolutely. Cinetopia? The 5pm-ish show? -- nm - ReluctantCynic Dec 26, 12:35 2
        
        Okay then. Cinetopia, next Saturday, around 5pm!! It's locked in! - Red Nosed Reindeer Poop Dec 26, 12:38 1
        
        I'm not backing out! It's on my calendar! -- nm - ReluctantCynic Dec 26, 12:43
  - i'd call that close enough to a proposal for ST purposes -- nm - mr. squiggles Dec 26, 12:00 4
    - As long as I get to pick the china pattern, I'm fine with that. - ReluctantCynic Dec 26, 12:02 3
      - Oh damn. *favourite* I got a compliment everyone!! Look here!! Look here!! -- nm - Red Nosed Reindeer Poop Dec 26, 12:20 2
        
        sure "a lot worse" -- felons, fetishists... -- nm - b!, merry and bright. Dec 26, 12:22 1
        
        Suck it Felons!!! -- nm - Red Nosed Reindeer Poop Dec 26, 12:24
