My friends back in Missouri used to buy 30 bottle cases of Rhinelander for ~$11.
I believe in Carl Pavano.
Where in Missouri? I went to high school in West County St. Louis and I don’t know what Rhinelander is.
Where exactly did you go to high school? I have to know.
Who needs affection when you can have blind hatred?
Of course. I am from St. Louis so you know I had to ask. Webster Groves for me before you ask.
Who needs affection when you can have blind hatred?
Ah, Webster Groves. You had a Quarterback who destroyed us in the state semi-finals. He went to Mizzou but got kicked off the team for raping someone I think. What was his name?? And are you still at Clemson?
Darryl Jackson. It was statutory rape I believe. Yeah. That’s how we roll.
Yes I am still at Clemson.
Who needs affection when you can have blind hatred?
I thought his name was Jackson. And are you liking Clemson? I looked there before ending up at Auburn, they seem like pretty similar schools.
Yeah we like to say that Auburn copied us at everything. I love Clemson. It is amazing.
Who needs affection when you can have blind hatred?
Hah yah. That bowl we played a couple of years ago was pretty exciting.
I know a girl here who went to Webster Groves. Her name was Wendy Koogz. I don’t know her actual last name, it’s something ridiculous.
WENDY! I know her! hahaha She played soccer I believe.
Who needs affection when you can have blind hatred?
She did play soccer! And I know her pretty well actually. We went on a trip to Australia together. That’s just nuts. Small world.
I’m not sure if she’ll know me because she was a friend of a friend. One of my best friends played soccer so I know of and sort of know a lot of the soccer girls.
Who needs affection when you can have blind hatred?
Haha I wouldn’t worry about it. Last time I saw her she was double-fisting hurricanes on Bourbon Street. A bit wild, she is.
At Webster they have that rep. So our new soccer coach got a fake facebook and friended all of them and found one of his star freshman in questionable pictures and kicked her off the team to try to stop the partying. It only worked for like a week.
Who needs affection when you can have blind hatred?
I’m not a big fan of adults using facebook in attempts to trick teens. It’s creepy and apparently never works.
He was smart about it. he friended a bunch of people from the high school so they thought they had mutual friends and banked on the fact that they are “friend whores” (like to have as many friends as possible).
Who needs affection when you can have blind hatred?
I once lost my wallet in one of those Clempsin Lady dorms. I don’t remember which one, but the problem was that I lost it in the middle of the night, evidently when men are not “invited” to be there.
Further complicating my wallet recovery was the fact that it was in my pants. I believe that my pants were somewhere along with the rest of my clothes.
hahahaha Manning or Lever. I’m RAing in Manning next year so that is a no-no my friend.
Who needs affection when you can have blind hatred?
Roommates in dorms suck.

Really, Old Milwaukee? What’s that taste light? The yellow can coors? I actually kind of have respect for Old Milwaukee with those old commercials. Didn’t they have those guys on the beach Barbecuing and then they say something like, “Old Milwaukee, it doesn’t get any better than this.”

"I gotta be honest, I dunno much about the climate in Japan." - Matt Underwood
Haven’t been tracking it. What’s the controversy?
by fleerdon on Jun 3, 2009 10:32 PM EDT up reply actions
Most every female here does not like beards, most males have calmly disagreed.
"I gotta be honest, I dunno much about the climate in Japan." - Matt Underwood
Okay … this is the deal on beards.
Most women do not like facial hair on men.
However, those women who do not like it also aren’t big fans of significant body hair on men.
Most men have significant body hair, so that preference falls into the realm of unrealistic expectations.
Some women do like men with significant body hair, i.e., “real men.”
Those women tend to like facial hair.
Women who like facial hair tend to like it a lot.
So for a man with significant body hair, ultimately having facial hair is the smart move.
As far as I could ever figure, anyway. It’s like, by not having facial hair, who am I trying to kid or please? I’m not going to wax my chest.
Well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Not the same thing as a beard, no, but Jay brought up “body hair”, and I think this falls under that category.
I believe in Carl Pavano.
No, not really, and you know it. Maybe arm pitts, but not legs. Legs are standard.

My wife had (minor) surgery a week ago, gave birth the week before that, and was pregnant for the nine months before that. I’m not really making demands of her in the body hair department these days.
Well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
Actually, I think it’s women that expect other women to have no body hair. If you overhear a gaggle of chicks talking about another girl with hairy legs? Hoo boy.
Women are harder on other women than men could ever be, I think.
I believe in Carl Pavano.
There was this girl in a class of mine this past yr who for some reason looked ever-so-slightly masculine for the first few months. Then like the last week of class I was standing behind her off to the right and figured it out – slight but noticable moustache.
FE WEE
Well, the reality is that we’re all a product of our environment in what we expect from the opposite sex. If you grow up without ever seeing leg hair on a woman, of course it’s going to seem masculine to you. If you always saw grown women with leg hair, then bare legs will seem childlike.
As we get older, get in tune with our own personal sexuality (assuming we’re not terrified of it) and have different partners, things like leg hair just become part of the larger fabric of negotiation between partners — and, ideally, part of two partners’ desire to continue pleasing one another, in ways large and small. Between two people, it’s never really about politics.
Well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

I’m the same way. I have the grey face syndrom, wherein the minute I’m done shaving my face looks like I have a thin stubble, even though I don’t. Any ideas how to get rid of that?
by jakesinger777 on Jun 3, 2009 10:43 PM EDT up reply actions
Well that’s the other issue, it’s not 100% full, so it doesn’t look after say a week or so. That, plus my new job coming up, makes me think I should have semi-regularly. I just wish that when I shaved I actually looked clean-shaven.
by jakesinger777 on Jun 3, 2009 10:45 PM EDT up reply actions
Since you’re pressing for details, I just use a pair of clippers with the plastic guard off, then use a razor on the detritus around the edges. It’s a compromise. If you really need a good shave for one day, think about going to a legit barber. You can’t beat a straight razor.
If you want to talk facial products, we should probably do that in private.

Scruff isn’t terrible. Mainly I just feel like beards would get in the way.

I feel like I shouldn’t need to explain this. Just think about it.
Who needs affection when you can have blind hatred?
They don’t entirely get in the way. Bottom line, some women just find men (or a certain man) more handsome with a beard, and with most women and men, how much you like looking at your partner’s face is a pretty big priority.
Well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
I think they get in the way of seeing their face so I can’t properly look at it.

I don’t get how it can be coke. It’s only a coke if it’s coke. I say soda, not pop. But if it’s coke, I say coke. Fresca or Sprite or Fanta, those are sodas (or pops). Can’t be that people call those coke.

It’s an eastern Great Lakes thing. Back at MU we Rust Belters would always lock horns with the upstate Wisconsinites about it.
Of course, they also call water fountains “bubblers.”

Huh… a lot of these are just all mixed together, with no obvious regional groupings.

It’s a Great Lakes thing. In Toronto, it’s pop too.

Obviously, I posted before I read the whole conversation. Lesson learned.

I think it ended tonight, in fact, I’m done.

You should, I started it on purpose the first time and inadvertently the next. I vow no more starting right now. I promise all of you.

For the record, I never commented on beards until tonight.
Well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
Argh, I hate this movie. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not a bad movie, it’s just that my parents forced me to watch it probably 100 times when I was a kid.
I believe in Carl Pavano.
I always thought he made an incredibly stupid decision to lead those people through that burial ground. I wouldn’t have.

It was stupid, he didn’t want to and he was haunted by the decision for the rest of his days.

Or at least until he killed a couple dozen Crowe(?) Indians in battle and then they respected him and left him in peace.
Just Crow. In peace physically, but mentally is another argument.

Uh, beards, cats, fantasy baseball, Charmed, the works of William Shakespeare and Rodgers & Hammerstein and Buffy The Vampire Slayer, if memory serves.

Raffy doesn’t look any different than when he went down.

Everybody, I just wanted to say, I think a Minnesota Twin bunting out on strikes may be my most favorite out in baseball.

Man, this guy spelling for Al Pawlowski on STO is bad. Not quite “boom goes the dynamite,” but really, really green.

Accept/except? I think my brother broke up with a girl because she emailed him and mistook those two. Also, your/you’re errors peeve me.

Wanted to make my first post in a winning game thread
I usually read the game threads from work, and you guys are very entertaining. Wish I could post from there, but oh well.
You know, it’s games like this that keep me coming back for more pain just when I’ve decided to give up on the season. Ah well, I love this team.
And thanks for the entertaining game threads, LGT’ers.
Well, when I’m at work I can’t tell anyone I’m checking scores and following the game… cause, ya know, they probably wouldn’t like that.
My only gripe is that it took me a whole week to figure out who Agent M was.
We got uniforms and everything. It's really great.
I still don’t think I really know. I just kind of pretend. Help would be great.
Who needs affection when you can have blind hatred?
I do it all the time, though I have some pretty sweet leeway at mine.

Sadly, I do not. We get nasty notes from head office about how they’re monitoring our Internet usage and that we will be fired for visiting unapproved sites. I’m definitely not used to being treated like a child at my job. If only there was some actual careers in this town…
