        The furries ep is an all time classic. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 08:58 1
        
        Agreed. Hilarious. :) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 5, 08:59
    - (or at least, they did on that fictional procedural show.) -- nm - TFox Jan 5, 08:56

  - EAT A SANDWICH! -- nm - Beaker Jan 5, 08:54
- I actually have zero problem with this. -- nm - TFox Jan 5, 08:50 32
  - [deleted] 20
    - Exactly. And that's why the article is newsworthy; people want the site to fail, they want to see management make "bad" decisions ... -- nm - Beryllium Jan 5, 08:57
    - i don't care about that either. douches would seem to be a profitable niche market. - TFox Jan 5, 08:55 16
      - You're basically judging people for going out and finding what they want. I dunno... -- nm - con_carne Jan 5, 09:05 1

      - I imagine a site of investment banker interns, a la 30 rock. -- nm - mafic Jan 5, 09:03
      - [deleted] 12
        
        my take is: it's less exclusive than they think it is. -- nm - mafic Jan 5, 09:05
        
        i would say that it would tend to be a second choice to meeting your dates in person for virtually everyone, no? -- nm - TFox Jan 5, 09:05 6
        
        [deleted] 5
        
        of course you don't. you've already signed up. - znufrii Jan 5, 09:11 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        where do you have to live that you can't find hot people? hot people are everywhere. -- nm - TFox Jan 5, 09:07 2
        
        [deleted]
        
        *invites you to DC* - loosilu Jan 5, 09:09
        
        I don't think that's TFox's personal view, but the view of people who'd use that sitre -- nm - Roger More Jan 5, 09:03 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        The people on that site think that finding dates on non-discriminating dating sites is for losers - Roger More Jan 5, 09:06
        
        That's historically been the case, yes. Like the VHS dating services of yore. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 5, 09:03
    - it rounds up a whole lot of vain douchebags and keeps them away from me. I'm cool with that. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 08:55 1
      - I don't necessarily agree, but that is well said. It's why there are many dating sites. :) -- nm - con_carne Jan 5, 09:03
  - If anything, the ego-hit is probably much needed by the 5,000 who got the boot. :) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 5, 08:53
  - neither do I. It's what the whole site is about. Anyone signing up for it should know better than to get fat. -- nm - Jim Jan 5, 08:52
  - [deleted] 8
    - The whole site is built on a foundation of vanity and douchitude. Which is why I don't care. - TFox Jan 5, 08:52 6
      - as I said last night, anyone who joins that site deserves what they get. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 08:54 4
        
        beautiful children? -- nm - con_carne Jan 5, 09:05 3
        
        hot sex with gorgeous people? yeah that would suck -- nm - Beaker Jan 5, 09:07 2
        
        Yeah, I fail to understand loosi's outrage over this. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 5, 09:11
        
        if they're as gorgeous as all that, how is finding hot sex a problem? -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 09:10
      - [deleted]
    - so's the premise of the site. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 08:52
- what if they're pregnant? -- nm - CQ Jan 5, 08:50 3
  - they get transferred to the sister site: preggoandeasy.com -- nm - Beaker Jan 5, 08:52 2
    - *splooge* Love the preggos. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 5, 08:52
    - I thought the sister website was called "beautifulsisters.com"? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 5, 08:52
- Not unlike heaven, from what I understand. nm - Dignan Jan 5, 08:48
- this is the same site that has to approve your 'beautifulness' before you can join, right? -- nm - Andie Jan 5, 08:47 4
  - Send me YOUR pic and decide if you're beautiful enough to judge ME. -- nm - CY's application Jan 5, 08:49
  - I found it amusing that the article in my paper (on their website, natch) specifically stated that it " -- nm - Beryllium Jan 5, 08:48 1
    - "was probably a publicity stunt", and then went on to say how it was a commentary on overeating. - Beryllium Jan 5, 08:48

stupid headache -- nm - Beaker Jan 5, 08:46
Valium is an an anti-anxiety pill, although I don't do so well on it. I prefer Ativan. neither are pain pills. that's the Percocet. - loosilu Jan 5, 08:46 2
- your IM is correct. And my experience with Ativan ... was that it made Martha Stewart's Apprentice pilot watchable -- nm - Beryllium Jan 5, 08:49 1
  - Ativan allowed me to get all of my fillings replaced without freaking out. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 08:51
My favorite illustration of the afterlife, courtesy of Terry Pratchett... - znufrii Jan 5, 08:46
What I never understood about my Southern Baptist upbringing is that you can be baptized at age 10 and guaranteed a place in Heaven, regardless of - CrankYanker Jan 5, 08:46 6

  - It was in Atlanta during the 50's and 60's..........oh sure we had "backsliders" but you're still IN regardless. -- nm - CrankYanker Jan 5, 08:53

ty...they gave me some percocets as well when I had my surgery. -- nm - Remlik Jan 5, 08:46 9
- that sheet made me vomit violently. I will not touch it with a ten foot pole. Vicodin, however, is awesome. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 08:49
- To this day, the weirdest prescription I've ever gotten was when I went to the ER because my abdominal hernia was bothering me... - TFox Jan 5, 08:47 7
  - Did you use them? -- nm - Don Homer Jan 5, 08:52 1
    - Sure. Doctor's orders. -- nm - TFox Jan 5, 08:53
  - "I'd like a second opinion." "What?" ... "I'd like. A second. Opinion!" -- nm - Beryllium Jan 5, 08:50 1
    - I went to my PCP a week later and he diagnosed my hernia in approximately four seconds. -- nm - TFox Jan 5, 08:51
