Aye, don't I just know that one!
Its when you find your self in a nightclub clutching a $35 cocktail, bought for you by some honest-to-god-cockney mob member (of course your savvier friend has neglected to share this information until about five minutes after you realise you are copying his accent) and can you stop? oh god no... you carry on and on and despite your best efforts it gets worse, soon your copying his mannerisms and inflections and oh my god why wont it stop?!
Fortunetly, he was either pissed enough or I was cute enough to get away with an arm around the neck hug and a kiss on the forehead - I suppose the girls version of the 'ain't he just the cutest' hair ruffle.
Ha, see this is why I've been single for goin on three years - not cause i'm snobbish and too high in my standards, not cause i'm determined to stop kissing toads, not even 'cause i'm commitment phobic, socially standoffish, and aggressively protective of my person and space.
But because I'm s**t scared of having to hold a conversation!
Gutterball - everything hurts from laughing, it is so refreshing to see you two. Oh god my sides hurt.
I think i'm kinda like you about five years late, you keep saying things that I agree with, its uncanny.
But you kinda made me realise one little thing - i'm not afraid of that perfect guy coming along, infact, I think I eagerly await the glowyness and the pythonesque 'he's the one' finger pointing from the sky.
I reckon its about time someone came along to make me revise my opinions of people (never as vital as they are on the net or in the movies)sex (um, icky, sweaty, ultimetly pointless) and relationships (restrictive and um, ultimetly pointless)
I can see BB rolling his eyes, but you know what, I don't give a flying f***
So cheers
Unfortunetly, scanning the posts, lots of fine men here, not a damn one of them anywhere near me. crap.
Ah well, back to normal.
I'm off to join Dave with that popcorn.
Dave: you may like this - a few years back there was a report in the Fortean Times, a troup of monkeys would regularly break into some big office in Japan and go around stealing cigarettes, then the alpha male would sit in the CEO's chair and smoke them. Got to the point where the monkeys were so common peoples just ignored them and carried on - real monkeys in your office!
Oo, Gutterball, as a co-habitor with a Neo mastiff/Old English Mastiff/Great Dane cross, and a pure O E Mastiff, and being a woman apparently beloved of cat kind, be careful what you wish for! Acidic drool, eye-melting gas and all-invasive hair - it's often a comfort to have my cat glare at me.
But seeing as little dogs are so gorram insecure and yappy, go with Irish Wolfhounds or pure Danes - less hair, no drool (not the viscous carpet eroding stuff anyway)
Unfortunetly, the gas is ever present.

I am unrepentant. I live to entertain. Or hurt. Sometimes can't tell which.

Bite your tongue, woman! I feel a little like Jayne jumping up from the table shouting, "Well don't SAY it!"
Hopefully, it only applies to you. Heh.

Apropos of almost nothing, one of my favorite image quotes of all time is "Take a flying f**k at a rolling donut!" I mean, can't you just see it? Heheheh...gets me every time....

Yes, sadly I know. But I'd rather have the Bog of Eternal Stench and Alien-acid drool than all that yapping. There is nothing less useful on this planet than a small dog. That includes the Slinky.
At least the Slinky is fun to watch tumble down the stairs. Kinda like some people I know.

Aw that's ok sweetie, it's a special fun breaking in girlies with initially mistaken apprehensions that they run things, or even have a say in them. There are no women so happy and tamed as ones who began needing taming. Call me Petruchio.
Please, let's do this in an orderly fashion, people- feminist lynchers to the right, outraged SNAG slapfighters line up on the left, and we have an area for "scared" people to mill about making clucking noises in the hall. If you would please sign the guestbook on the way in.
Hey BB, sorry I didn't reply sooner. I was home all weekend swinging a sledge hammer at a wall that was in my way. It is no longer.
So, in all seriousness and without mocking (really!) I do have to wonder if you've ever had a woman hold you down and ravish you until you forget who and where you are. No? Bummer.
But good job on that body count you've got going! I bow before your obvious studliness (just don't mistake the bow for something else, I still have my sledgehammer...)
Really, all meant in humor, it takes all kinds and I do find you entertaining. Especially since you're half a continent away.
Ask Dr. Science ... he knows more than you do.

I'll have to track down the name of that company. I wonder how hard it is to learn Japanese?

Wow, I can't believe I didn't see this thread until now... funny. I've always thought there should be a dating service for sci-fi geeks/dorks/nerds/whatever name you prefer to call yourself. Of course, the numbers would be completely whacked - 100 guys to every 1 girl...
Neat idea, though - any single ladies in the Milwaukee area, by chance? I doubt it, but worth a shot.

The sad thing is.. this is almost true... of ANY dating site. Go to ANY dating site/service/etc.. and look to see if you can find actual numbers. In most populated geographic areas.. there typically seems to be about a 10 to 1 ratio of men seeking women to women seeking men. Then when you start to look at less populated areas... yes.. there are places where the ratio can be 100 to 1.. or MORE!!!
I have known women who have posted the most basic information (virtually none) at a dating/special interest site.. with no photo.. no real information at all.. other than age and being a woman.. and will get several emails a day. Post a semi attractive photo.. and they get more emails than they can possibly even read. Some guys I know who have posted profiles have never been contacted... not even once. They have to do all the contacting.. while trying to break through an entire ocean of white noise.. just to get a "hello". Is it a wonder why so many guys are frustrated?
This is the really sad thing... all you guys out there that think the whole "lesbian" thing is hot (I don't get it).. you better be careful what you wish for. If you go to many dating sites.. if you can find the numbers.. you will notice that the number of women seeking other women.. is APPROACHING the same number of women who are seeking men. I wouldn't doubt in a few years if there becomes MORE women seeking women than women seeking men..
Sigh... not that any of this matters anymore to me... but it still makes me depressed..

Ahhh, now I'm in a much better general mood, no prize for guessing why. Why, I'm veritably bright eyed and bushy tailed. So! Where was I.

Oh how I would enjoy taming you.

Which firefly character do you like better, Mal or Jayne?
I would caution against using that question to determine another person's psychology. I don't have a personality like either, nor do I have an analogue in the entire FF 'verse.

Reason I ask is that you are uncannily similar to a character in a novel that I'm writing (even in some superficial details, curiously) and I couldn't let this thread die without taking the chance to work out aspects of your psyche to the finest detail.
Hahaha, good luck with that.
