    Yeah I'll invite you to the wedding when I realise that he really loves me and I should be with him.

    It's not creepy or stalker behaviour if there's jaunty music playing as they do it!

    edit: now I want to get a bunch of films about stalkers and replace the music.

    I carry around the handy dandy Flirt Knob(tm).

    It's a small, 15 inch pad that can attach easily to your fanny pack.

    Simply turn the knob to "flirt" when you engage with an attractive person. If they turn their knob to "flirt" as well, wedding bells are in the future!
    If they turn their knob to "slug" then uh-oh! Looks like love's not in the cards today for you, Buster Brown.

    Flirt Knob(tm): "Flirting Made Sensible"
    Flirt Knob expansion packs available in stores now.
    Batteries not included.

    "Flirt Knob" sounds lewd as fuck

    Because "fanny pack" doesn't??

    Been hanging out with too many Brits for that one to not make me giggle now

    Fanny pack is pretty funny too. I guess "flirt knob" caught me off guard is all.

    Caught off-guard by Fab's flirt knob...

    I really do hate it when movies show romantic persistence despite a lack of reciprocal feelings as a virtue. I never really acted on those feelings as a teenager but I had them and it was fucked up, and it fucked me up.

    These days I try very hard not to act in.the manner that, honestly? society raised me to. Feminism is basically my moral code re. all that these days and thank God it's there to tell me the best way to be.

    "Does the carpet match the curtains"

    Ok, so we're all agreed that I'm basically a mental patient on extended shore leave, right? Ok.

    So I'm hanging out with several coworkers after an asskicking Friday night shift and there's a desperate need for beers and shots because we're all ready to just start murdering customers. We walk across the street to our watering hole and make our way to the patio and start knocking them back. Most everyone of us was swing shift (open the joint, work through Happy Hour) and we're all just griping about how much we smell like sweat, spilled sodas, spilled beer and buffalo wing sauce; we've had it with life for the day and we were quite happy to be left the fuck alone.

    Problem is, several of the cocktail waitresses were quite stunning and kept getting all kinds of the wrong attention (loud, drunk, obnoxious) from a couple of random assholes. The Curtain v. Drapes Question got asked and my brain just sort of ... split ... into several different parts, one of which took control of my mouth as I stepped in between my coworker and the douchebag:

    "Well, since you asked so nicely, the short answer is Yes."

    *stunned silence from everyone*

    "The long answer is Sort-Of since I shave my head every other day, but my BALLS ONLY GET SHAVED TWICE A WEEK. I'D BE HAPPY TO SHOW YOU RIGHT NOW BUT I NEED AT LEAST TWO MORE SHOTS AND TWENTY DOLLARS BECAUSE I'M KINDA DRUNK BUT NOT DRUNK ENOUGH."

    (The part with the all-caps is where I pitched my voice a little, not sure if that was obvious or not.)

    I shave my head every other day too, but I only shave my balls twice a month.

    I've stumbled across a profile of an American in London and I'm quite convinced he has copy and pasted his job profile onto his profile. I wish I could share it, he's had an impressive professional life, but I know nothing about him as a person.

    Good Luck Chuck. Maybe the worst example I've ever seen. That movie hurt my brain. I don't think I'll ever recover.

    No, sadly. He was too busy getting laughed at and tucking his tail between his legs.

    If you enjoy camping, fishing and hiking like me, it's just practical when you want to avoid ticks and chiggers, especially in Texas.

    It might just tell me that he's crap about writing about himself and his personal life. But yeah, he loooves his work I think.

    Is it bad if he loves his work? I guess there is a line. I'm very dull without my work I fear, I use it rather as a shield, maybe he is doing that?

    I once wrote a reference for an ex to give to new partners as a joke between us, I wish I'd kept it as it was a work of art. Full of lies, but some of my best work.

    While mine would be one long entry and a whole lot of flimsy secondary credentials that I hope are of relevance and interest.

    She is? I don't think she spoke a peep on Rabb.it last time. Lots of architectural style workings it looked like. It was just me and Bagel shouting at each other.

    Speaking of I liked our TRL experience last time bagel, tofys, plat, et al. (I'm totally forgetting people.) Would do again.

    We should do a themed music night. 80's night. I vote 80's night.

    And sometimes people suddenly drop out of existence for extended periods of time. Y'know, just like at the pub.
