  1. What I want to know is why women click on a thread called "Hot and Sexy women" and then complain about guys talking about hot and sexy women.
    Because people think that everyone else should do, say, and think whatever it is THEY do, say or think - and want to complain about it whenever that isn't happening.

    And I agree with you - no thread in this forum should be closed until a minimum of three interlopers have bothered to come in here and express their righteous indignation about whatever is being discussed (note: UK and Canadian posters only count 1/2 point for this purpose).

  2. Heh, ok why not? :) I think the biggest reason guys go on and on and on about their fiancee/wive's physical features is insecurity,
    That's my reason too.
    and possibly anxiety that they're suddenly going to turn around and it'll all be gone. The more they talk about her, the more real she seems.
    But I have a different sub-reason. My sub-reason has to do with ego. Kind of like how you tell people all about your awesome Corvette, Porsche or other trophy vehicle. Rather than just drive it and enjoy it for what it is, part of the pleasure derives from letting everyone KNOW you've got that vehicle - and it's part of a deeply-rooted insecurity that reveals itself as a need to "show off" or something.

    Frankly, the more people talk about how their SO looks (almost to the exclusion of any other feature of hers), the less credible I find them on anything else they have to say.

  3. We do care about our women and more than their looks.
    Uh huh............

    Of the husbands (and wannabes) of "FSU" (man I hate that term) women, there seem to be two types. Those who frequently comment on the looks of their wives, and those who never (or almost never) comment. I find it interesting, and very interesting.

  4. Not very often, and almost exclusively by accident.
    You wouldn't believe what I found on my wife's computer screen recently. We had just finished watching a Netflix movie on her computer and I happened to close the browser window. Behind it was another one, and on that page there was a woman in the woods, lacking any clothes, and involved in a bodily function. I called out to her, "sweeeeeetie???? Is there something about you I should know???" She came downstairs to where we were (we had two guests over), looked at the screen and turned beat red. She then explained that a lot of the time, sites she uses to view Russian movies and stuff throw up these kinds of windows trying to get people to come to their sites.
  5. Last night, while post Christmas shopping, drove by Hollywood Blvd, a cinema in the western Chicago suburbs. Except for select matinees, NO CHILDREN LLOWED !!....And if you talk or your cell phone goes off, they will escort you out.
    Wow!!! I might have to move to Chicago.

    I wish all theaters had this policy!!!

  6. The worry about TSA employees is real. You get more scrutiny when you use your credit card than when you board an airline. Now they have new "security" policies in place that require everyone to remain in their seats during the last hour of each flight. Unless they go through the cabin announcing that the flight will arrive in just over an hour there are going to be a lot of people peeing their pants on the airlines. It might be a good time to start wearing adult diapers instead of waiting until old age. :rofl:
    Oh please. If they deny me use of the bathroom, I'll whip it out and piss right there on the floor before I piss in my pants.
  7. Most of those fatalities were on the Seward Highway....during this summer. People feel the need to pass on that highway no matter what the cost. I'm sure you already know this though seeing how we both live in Alaska. tbh I haven't seen these crappy highways that's in that report. Seward highway is decent enough as long as you don't try to pass on corners, or when there's on coming traffic....or even better yet when these idiots try to pass several cars/trucks/motor homes/r-v's/etc.... The Glen highway is decent enough, can't really see too much problems with the Parks other than the bottle neck from Wasilla to Big Lake. And yes we do have frost heaves up here.
    Doesn't matter what the excuses are. It's the results that matter. The problem with Seward Highway is it is not designed for the load it carries, plain and simple. But the bigger problem is the simple lack of a road network. In most places, you can go north and south, or east and west, by a single route. That's it! If that route is cut, then you're cut off! There is no alternative route. That fact alone is what gives us the world road system in America. Of course - that assumes you're even ACCESSIBLE by road - which, as you know - is a BIG "if" in Alaska.
  8. Philly roads are horrible.

    Actually, we are lightyears behind other countries when it comes to road quality

    Bah, we've got you ALL beat.

    ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- Alaska has the worst highway system in the nation, according to a new report from a California-based research group.

    The report says the problems are in maintenance, bridge deficiencies and fatalities.

    The Reason Foundation says the roads have steadily been getting worse as the years go by.

    Many drivers agree.

    "I think the highways are horrible; I won't even drive on them…they're curvy, there's not enough room, the semi trucks. They're horrible," said Paula Jones, an Anchorage driver.

    The report says the roads are old and in need of upgrades. Bridges are past their prime and almost all areas are unsafe, especially major highways that lead into cities.

    "The fatality rate for Alaska-- this is 2008 data-- it was 1.63. The national average is 1.35 so it's considerably higher than the national average," said David Hartgen with the Reason Foundation.

    Other drivers agree the roads need work, but say to blame Mother Nature for the problems.

    "I think they need to have better maintenance, maybe take a look at changing the budget and re-evaluating the way they do snow removal along these roads," said Dean Paul, an Anchorage driver.

    Still other people say the problems aren't as dramatic as the report suggests.

    "It's not bad. I don't think it's bad. Only in the winter where you go 5 miles an hour for two hours, but… I can't complain. It moves along just fine," said Jennifer Seetomona.

    The Department of Transportation did not return phone calls Thursday.

  9. For instance, peanut butter. I really thought she would love it, but she could care less.More astonishing, she hates pancakes and maple syrup! What?? How is this possible? She not only dislikes it, but seems offended by the taste and smell of the syrup. Has this happened to anyone else, or is it just my crazy wife??
    I can't stand peanut butter, maple syrup, or pancakes either. I don't even want to be at the same table with syrup - I think it is disgusting.
  10. Russians don't want to have a monthly bill but would rather pre-pay for usage. That's because they can usually only afford to spend $20/month on a cellphone instead of $120 for an unlimited data plan. You can't get diddily squat for $20/month in America.
    I used AT&T go phone service, and I spend less than $10/month for cell phone service.

    Wife says Russia is way better for cell phone stuff - thinks America is lame.

    Do you include yourself in that perception...or are you special?
    Of course I do.
  11. We just had a bunch of kids beat up a cop at a basketball game while their parents cheered.
    I'd cheer too.

    Yes, everyone should be able to have lightning-fast free porn. And that's why we're now spending 8 Billion dollars to expand high-speed access to rural areas. Only in America!
    HAHAHAHAHA. Slim keeps it real. I love it.
  12. Actually Alla can not believe our cell phone plan. "You mean Mobile to Mobile is No Limit on minutes?" "Even if in a different city?" Yes dear, Welcome to America. I don't know what others mean by Russian cell phone plans are better than here?

    And if you think you MUST stick to your 2 year agreement, you have another thing coming. Yes you must stick to the same provider, but I've always changed plans on the fly before the 2 years ran out. Never a problem.

    I wouldn't exactly use the cell phone situation in America as an example of modern miracles. We're well behind most of the rest of the world in this regard. Relative to Europe, America is a freakin' joke.
