RITA's XLVIII: Some Fun Now

[howyadoin]

She seems pretty, but isn't she a little .... overlarge?I'm assuming you don't mean Megan Fox.

[HomerJay]

See, folks? This is how you subtly reflect the fact that you got the joke, as pitiful as the joke may have been to start with. in fact, this actually raises the pitiful joke to acceptable respectability.
Dread, what did I just walk into here?

About JUNO:
Maybe I just liked it so damn much because every really good movie I've seen this fall have employed huge kicks in the balls as part of the story (THE MIST, I AM LEGEND) or are just plain gloomy (NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN). Then along comes this movie thats so genuinely touching (without being manipulative of sacchariny) and funny.
and now for a lucy Pinder break
How very soothing.

[SOGG]

Is that a tattoo on her left forearm?

[tricksterpup]

I mean, not her personally. But her boobies seem too massive to be attractive.

She's got a great... everything else though.

Course she does.. she's super girl.

[howyadoin]

A man who complains about large breasts have never gotten to play with any.In my experience, smaller ones are much more sensitive.

And y'know, less droopy.

[SOGG]

I'm assuming you don't mean Megan Fox.

Yeah. she looks pretty tiny.

Guess I'm just not a boob man.

[SOGG]

In my experience, smaller ones are much more sensitive.

And y'know, less droopy.

I'll + 1 this. Gravity always wins.

[HomerJay]

Not for homer.
I go turn images off now
Yeah, out of courtesy I usually link to these rather than hotlinking.
But her boobies seem too massive to be attractive.
I know all of the words in that sentence above, but I simply can't make any sense of it.
A man who complains about large breasts have never gotten to play with any.
That's one way to look at it, yes.

[SOGG]

Man. She should have dyed her hair blonde and become Powergirl instead.

[tricksterpup]

Yeah. she looks pretty tiny.

Guess I'm just not a boob man.

Hehe. I guess I just associate them with limited mobility.

Hey, only 500 to go.

Hehe. I guess I just associate them with limited mobility.
limited Mobility??
Where do you want them to go?

Unfortunately, (or maybe fortunately as howy points out) , I've no headphones and I've an intern who's sharing the office today.

[howyadoin]

limited Mobility??
Where do you want them to go?Up and down, mostly.

[HomerJay]

Hehe. I guess I just associate them with limited mobility.
In that case, they wouldn't be able to run away from you as often as they do, so I would think that would be a positive.

[tricksterpup]

You're a cruel man.

Would rather me post a naked picture of this woman? I know Stonegold would appreciate it though.

Bless you.

Sorry.

New giant monster movie?

[morna]

I know this may sound sad... but under the bed lie longboxes. I think I should just start giving stuff away... like... that entire gotham war games crap.
I condone the concept of a purge - it's good for the psyche!
If you're down in the dumps, go see JUNO.
I dare anyone here to not fall in love with it.

Thanks - I will try to see it soon. I keep thinking it's chick-flickish from the trailer so I have to shake that impression out of my head


...or perhaps drown it in champagne (and lobster!) tonight! :)

[SOGG]

I had a Korean gf once. She was.... massive. We basically had to cut out quite a few activities because they got in the way. Eventually, it became a huge irritant in the relationship because she started wanting to stay home more often since she got hurt a fair bit.

Understandable, but then with quite a few sports and outdoors stuff out, I started to fatten. And then we both realised just how mature the relationship was.

[tricksterpup]

Sorry.

New giant monster movie?

Gamera??? It came out in the 90's but probably a close follow up would be Godzilla Final wars. But except for the really early Godzilla Movies most were really crap.

[SOGG]

Did you watch a lot of early Ultraman? I mean, I submit that it's mostly monsters getting the snot kicked out of them, but.... Monsters!

The japanese spider man was awesome too.

I'm afraid to ask what kind of sports or outdoor activities you guys did.

[howyadoin]

For one...
Bouldering is.... very challenging when you can't grip some surfaces properly.

[HomerJay]

Thanks - I will try to see it soon. I keep thinking it's chick-flickish from the trailer so I have to shake that impression out of my head...
It might be considered chick-flickish because of some of the emotional content, but it's more along the lines of Wes Anderson directing a John Hughes script.

I don't mean to sound like Glen Quagmire here, but how massive?

Just firmly place you hands on them and hold on. Shouldn't be that hard.

[Ed Cunard]

So big that they didn't measure in cups, but in gallons.

Massive. She'd miss rest spots on a rock because she couldn't hug it.

Not sure if I brought any of her pictures with me, but I'll check when I get home.

[howyadoin]

http://mine.icanhascheezburger.com/completestore/beerbellireqw128435467586668750.jpgAlmost every meal I had over the holidays made me feel like that.

Even now I'm waiting for my omelet to digest a little before I do a little whiskey-tasting.

Man. Work isn't happening today, is it?

Yeah, I thought the same. Maybe she just didn't like climbing.

For my wife, golf and anything that requires running is out of the question.

[Ray R.]

HI-YOOO!

Her breasts were so massive.....the local cows were heard saying catty things about her......


Hmmm......if girls with big boobs work at Hooters, where do the one-legged girls work?

IHOP.

IHOP.Fucker. I just about spit chocolate milk on my monitor.

[SOGG]

Yeah. The sprinting killed her.

I'll admit that the post workout massage sessions were kind of nice, but I guess it got old for her even faster than it did for me.

And archery was right out. And really, there's only so much fun you can have with a crossbow.

Thats right, Ray isn't a person he is a sex object.

Why did you think he liked young boys?

[i_mmmchocolate]

Does the slap-yo-mamma pork sauce get reduced before or after adding it to the pork? (I'm guessing before, but best to make sure.)
Yep! The OJ & lime juice is boiled until it's about 2 cups. Then add a few crushed garlic and like 1/4 cup of fresh oregano.

Cut slits into the meat and rub additional garlic all over it, especially the slits. Then pour the marinade over it.

Apparently SOGG is like one of those super-active people you see in a pharmaceutical ad. He doesn't have time for herpes, arthritis or an overactive bladder with all the archery, rock climbing, boogie boarding and grandchildren playing he's doing.

[howyadoin]

I'm late for the early bird special......hopefully, tonight I'll be able to see the ball drop, since mine have been dropping for years......Do they wobble to and fro?

[tricksterpup]

That happens at the end when you are to tired to do anything else.

[Ray R.]

They look like fuzzy dice hanging from a rear view mirror.

Pho's getting married? YAY!

She mentioned it in her birthday thread, since that's when he proposed, but I don't remember when that was.


The flavored Triscuits are even better.

Especially the black peper ones.


So, this past year, my mortgage was sold to another loan company. The letter I got was that nothing would change, business as usual, you know the drill....


So tell me, if the Tax folk don't get their payment on time, and send me another due notice, what are the chances of me actually collecting on a frivolous lawsuit concerning mental anguish or something like that.

No, really, I'm serious.

I would call the county or whatever and explain to them that you really don't trust your new, fly-by-night mortgage company and what are your risks and your options? If nothing else, maybe they can note the account somehow.


well golly gee, I can see my desk.

That's why I came in today rather than taking a long weekend. Can hit the ground running on Wed.


Shit, they don't collect that stuff?

What a dumb idea. His movie recommendations alone would make collecting them worthwhile.

Yep.

I need to decide what to bring to the party tonight. Stopping at the (very small) liquor store on the way home from work. Probably just a six pack of hard cider. Reliable, and don't need to worry about glasses, ice, etc. I don't know the hosts that well.

[Ronald Bryan]

My plan is to have a little of each this afternoon. I'm just trying to decide on the sequence.
Then go Glen Breton, Redbreast, The Balvenie, and then save Elijah Craig for last.

[Ed Cunard]

Given the current discussion, I'd probably start with the Redbreast, then go to the Doublewood.

[Dreadstar]

I would call the county or whatever and explain to them that you really don't trust your new, fly-by-night mortgage company and what are your risks and your options? If nothing else, maybe they can note the account somehow.

That won't work. CountryWide is one of the largest mortgage companies in the U.S. today, so I don't think I could get the "fly-by-night" description across. I just think it's B.S. penny-squeezing tactics. And yes, if I *do* get ANY flak from the government over this, I am going to court.

No worries for me, just going home and staying put. Which really isn't any different from any other New Year's Eve. I think in my life I have gone out one time. To me the new year starts on Solstice so this is just an arbitrary party night.

Now will the ghost of howy visit me with a Scotch bottle?

Almost as much as I love that Morrison skipped the creepy sexy angle. Did they already have furries in 1973?

...what?

[Gilda Dent]

That mess consists of her birthday presents. It's all clean now.

Turned seven Saturday. I need to start thinking about saving for her Bat Mitzvah.

I'll be cliche.

It goes by so fast. It's hard to believe my "little girl" is a young woman of 15.

Today is my sister's 10th birthday. She's had her birthday neglected in the past because it's on New Year's Eve and too close to Christmas, so we're making sure she gets a big bash, a combination birthday party and New Year's Eve party for her and Will's friends.

Plus, it's free babysitting for most of the other adults in the neighborhood, so they're all for it.

Has anyone watched Mad Men? We are two epeisodes in and I am pretty intrigued. It has to be the most misogynist show on TV, there also seems to be an anti-semitic undertone, but then I think the main character just hates everyone.

I saw part of an episode. The show isn't misogynistic or anti-semitic, the characters are. The point is to show how sexist and racist big business was in the not so recent past and by doing so condemn such attitudes as they existed then and persist today.

It's like House. The character is misanthropic and a selfish egotist, but the show consistently demonstrates that these same characteristics make him a miserable person.

This is amusing: The Worst Comics Medicine of 2007 (http://politedissent.com/archives/1864). Contains yet more reasons to hate the current Spider-Man plot.

Emily loves Polite Dissent, especially for the reviews of House.

Morning, boys and girls.

Went with the kids to a Game Stop this weekend. Unfortunately for my bank account, they had "buy 2 used games, get 1 free." That equalled 4 Nintendo DS Lite games, 2 Playstation 2 games, and a PS 3 game.

DS Lite: Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hour Glass, Spiderman: Friends or Foe, The Sims: Pets, and Ice Age 2.

PS2: The Lord of the Rings: Third Age, and World Championship Poker

PS3: Bladestorm: The Hundred Years War

I went yesterday to exchange a couple of 360 games and get some XBox games I'd never played, and got caught up in the promotion. I got Morrowwind GOTY Edition, Burnout 3: Takedown, Doom 3, Ninja Gaiden: Black, Soul Caliber 2, getting SC3 and Burnout 3 free. Then there were three 360 games I'd been wanting, so I got Mass Effect, The Orange Box, and Beautiful Katamari free.

I'm pretty sure that if I don't buy another game in the coming year, I'll still have enough to last the whole year. The clerk told me not to play Morrowwind first, because if I did, I wouldn't have time for anything else for the next six or eight months, there's that much to do.

Which isn't to say that I won't buy anything new; I pre-ordered Burnout Paradise while I was there.

She seems pretty, but isn't she a little .... overlarge?

In my experience, smaller ones are much more sensitive.

Yeah, very large does little for me. Partly this is because my empathy reflex kicks in and I know that there's no way I'd ever want breasts that large, which makes any degree of attraction much more difficult.

Moderate sized and a proportionate to a woman's frame size is much more attractive to me.

And to add to what howy was saying, it's simple logic. The number of nerve endings is the same regardless of the size. Thus, smaller means that the nerve endings are more dense.

[Puma]

No, admit it, Gus is a terrible Secret Santa.

Nope, he picked the two most coveted items on my list so he is a very good SS.

What is a bit odd though, K'Nort was my SS a few years ago, I was K'Nort's this year, and Gus was mine this year. I think QWolf has worn out the librarian/Northwest angle.

[K'Nort]

Yeah, when my present from you arrived, we were first afraid that it was his gift to you and it had somehow been returned.

He asked for advice on which two to pick, which was pretty sensible. Although there was clearly still luck involved.

The dance music makes me want to put a gun to my head, but it's nice to see him get off his ass while he's playing a video game.

There will be a Wii at the party tonight but I don't expect to use it. That's another that involves moving around, right?

[Ed Cunard]

Why didn't he get you Scott Pilgrim? Scott Pilgrim is awesome.

Because I hate fun.

Or I couldn't find a copy when I went shopping.

[K'Nort]

The clerk told me not to play Morrowwind first, because if I did, I wouldn't have time for anything else for the next six or eight months, there's that much to do.

I know little about video games, but I have a good friend who plays many and Morrowind has been probably his favorite of the last few years.

I've been drumming on Rock Band all afternoon. So, I'm still on my ass all day.

You hating fun sounds better.

[Gilda Dent]

So Molly's getting a complete set of Fruit's Basket, a 4 gig iPod Nano, plus whatever the party guests bring.

They're supposed to start arriving at about eight, but we have two here already.

[K'Nort]

You hating fun sounds better.

More believable.

[howyadoin]

And to add to what howy was saying, it's simple logic. The number of nerve endings is the same regardless of the size. Thus, smaller means that the nerve endings are more dense.Science!

.

[Ed Cunard]

More believable.

I just hit "post reply" to type the exact same thing, and saw yours.

My reputation precedes me.

[howyadoin]

So the Glen Breton was okay, but nothing special. The $90 price isn't justified, so I'm glad it was a gift and not something I spent hard-earned dollars on.

(For reference, 12-year-old Balvenie Doublewood costs $70.)

[Dreadstar]

So the Glen Breton was okay, but nothing special. The $90 price isn't justified, so I'm glad it was a gift and not something I spent hard-earned dollars on.

Is it corn or rye?

[Winslow]

There will be a Wii at the party tonight but I don't expect to use it. That's another that involves moving around, right?

Yes.

You should try it, it's a lot of fun. My rich nephews that get whatever they want for Christmas got one this year. It was a blast playing though. Baseball was hilarious.

Science!

.

I demand empirical evidence and lab testing!

[howyadoin]

Is it corn or rye?Barley, yeast and water. The only reason they can't call it Scotch is geography.

http://www.glenoradistillery.com/glenbreton.htm

[K'Nort]

Yes.

You should try it, it's a lot of fun. My rich nephews that get whatever they want for Christmas got one this year. It was a blast playing though. Baseball was hilarious.

That reminds me. And it ties into the photo that Howy posted last night.

Gus created... whatever they're called ... little people on the Wii that looked like us. When he was using a friend's system. (The same system that will be at tonight's party.) A couple months later, someone I don't know was playing Wii baseball at their house and said something about John Lennon being on his team. He meant me.

[howyadoin]

Mmm, the Redbreast was much better.

[SOGG]

There was this whiskey thread awhile back and I remember someone recommending the Macallan 30.

That's some pretty tasty stuff.

Since I don't drink very often, it helps having liquor around that keeps for awhile. I always hated having to throw wine away because it's like a week old and I haven't figured out what to do with it.

[Ronald Bryan]

Here is why I keep joking with Cunard.

Yup . . they're called mii (I think). I made a tall skinny one with a 'fro.

A couple months later, someone I don't know was playing Wii baseball at their house and said something about John Lennon being on his team. He meant me.

Between that and the gender comment about the SDCC '05 photo, that should make you scratch your head.

As for me, I had someone give me a dollar once because they thought I was homeless. I probably need to upgrade the coat and shave the beard (and maybe shower more often).

I actually had something tasty involving spiced rum over the holidays. It wasn't Captain Morgan's, however.

Spiced rum and lemoncello and hot apple cider. Especially nice when you've ducked in out of a downpour.

Me too.

Human milk is probably gross.
Fortunately, Steve's already tasted it for you! (http://www.thesneeze.com/mt-archives/000142.php)

I must admit that my aversion to drinking breast milk is something of a double-standard. Let me try to put this as delicately as I can out of respect to my female readers... but some women have been known to willingly "ingest" a certain dubious "body fluid" made by men, during moments of "intimacy." (These moments are known as "blow jobs." These women are known as "awesome.")

That won't work. CountryWide is one of the largest mortgage companies in the U.S. today, so I don't think I could get the "fly-by-night" description across. I just think it's B.S. penny-squeezing tactics. And yes, if I *do* get ANY flak from the government over this, I am going to court.
You never know. Countrywide is one of the big offenders and seems to be at the top of the investigation list.

Did I miss some announcement this morning that nekked pitchers are okay?

[howyadoin]

Wow, the step up in flavour from Redbreast to Balvenie is enormous.

[Ronald Bryan]

Hey, I just remembered...



Oh! Car bombs, bad idea.

[K'Nort]

A little cinnamon with that would be nice.

Both the rum (Sailor Jack's?) and the apple cider were well-spiced. And the lemon kept it from being too sweet. I wasn't thrilled with the whipped cream garnish, but it did mellow things nicely. And gave it a sort of a la mode effect.

Oh and there was a cinnamon stick.

[K'Nort]

Hey, I just remembered...

Don't think I'd wanna drink more than one in a sitting, though.

I just had to use the rest of my single barrel Jack to wash the car bomb down. Damn.

[K'Nort]

Yeah, I'm gonna have to try that.

Don't think I'd wanna drink more than one in a sitting, though.

Oh we each had three. And then went to another bar.

More sugar than I usually do. But it was mostly the warmth that was so appealing. We were soaked.

Gilda Dent has good breastage taste:

Yeah, very large does little for me. Partly this is because my empathy reflex kicks in and I know that there's no way I'd ever want breasts that large, which makes any degree of attraction much more difficult.

Moderate sized and a proportionate to a woman's frame size is much more attractive to me.

**nods**

Perky and proportionate over whoppers any day.

Plus I don't want to listen to bitching about how they make her back hurt.

I know it and believe it, I just don't want to listen to it.

The beginning and ending music changes - one or two different tracks per season. There's one that sorta reminds me of Shaft.



My favourite opener music is GO! I think it's from 3rd series or the one where Naruto and Jiraiya go looking for Tsunade... but don't quote me on that. I think the song is "Fighting Dreamers" or some such.

Ah. That's nothing to worry about. Assuming she's not asking to go home, but very few kids are that sensitive.

When I was little, my parents managed an apartment building in exchange for rent. One of the tenants was an exotic dancer with a boa (python?) and all the kids in the neighborhood loved visiting at feeding time.

That makes sense.

I know grease is excellent for hangovers, which makes me think I should save the taquitos (frozen) for tomorrow just in case.

The drinking will probably be medium, however.

And I get to hear about a friend's engagement. Happened over the holidays. Apparently she was actually surprised. I didn't think anyone got to be surprised any longer. They all go pick out their own rings and everything.

So if my grandmother sends me money for Christmas, and mentions that it should help with my plane ticket from Thanksgiving (which was $750 and I'm still paying for it, so yes, big help) does that mean I'm obliged to only send it to Visa for that purpose and not actually buy anything fun?

[K'Nort]

No. Since it was such an expensive plane ticket, that won't even wipe out half. But it will get it paid off about three months sooner. Which then eventually means more money for fun which otherwise would have gone to interest. And no guilt. So I guess I can just look at it as delayed gratification. Like for San Diego!

I'll think of it as being saved by Visa on my behalf for San Diego.

So the Glen Breton was okay, but nothing special. The $90 price isn't justified, so I'm glad it was a gift and not something I spent hard-earned dollars on.

They're not that long. I just beat easy. Time for medium. Where you have to sing "Won't Get Fooled Again" at the end.

I'm pretty sure that wasn't the end song. In any case, it's not that hard. The ones by the bands I don't know where the singer is off key are. Hell, Maps was harder. Fucking Maps.

Basalmic chicken and Italian fried potatoes.

No. Since it was such an expensive plane ticket, that won't even wipe out half. But it will get it paid off about three months sooner. Which then eventually means more money for fun which otherwise would have gone to interest. And no guilt. So I guess I can just look at it as delayed gratification. Like for San Diego!

I'll think of it as being saved by Visa on my behalf for San Diego.
Yay San Diego!

Bye Puma! Happy New Year!
trying to catch up ...wanted to say HNY to Puma first tho'.

no worries Morna. I'll be here for some time (at home now). I have six audio books to rip into my computer and then transfer to the zune.

I find Maps pretty easy. It's just "Maaaaaaps Wait"

Oh, and I rock "When You Were Young" because I know it by heart.
