Whoever figured out to sell shirts to girls that only go down to the midsection is my absolute favorite person on earth.

And whoever figured out to sell them in XL+ sizes is my least favorite.

How about a Gen-Y digital music implant?

"It could be that pilots are considered techies? Officers have power and prestige and women like that. By “enlisted” you probably meant the combat troops? "

In the Air Force, the officers (pilots) are on the front lines and get combat exposure. Except for the enlisted ground controllers (on the ground in Afghanistan in enemy territory, directing air attack) the enlisted work back at the base.

Headset,

The way I heard it told, in the other branches of the service Generals sit behind desks and order the troops to fight and die!

But in the Air Force, the enlisted guys just fix the plane, and then go tell the OFFICERS to go fight and die!

"I hate the execu-slut look"

You and me both brother. Yet it seems that's "the look" most realtwhores favor, no?

DinOR,

Speaking of fight and die, we were briefed in Gulf War One to expect 25% casualties. Very sobering to think that the politicians valued us so cheap, as to trade all those crews and aircraft to put a king back in power in Kuwait.

Of course the casualties didn't turn out anything like that.

It could be realtor owned I guess. Could be that it's owned by one of their parents who is also a realtor. There are no signs or hints that they were foreclosed upon. And I still see them come by occasionally, which I wouldn't expect if they were chased out.

"You and me both brother. Yet it seems that’s “the look” most realtwhores favor, no?"

I have noticed that at the last "Parade of Homes" that all the Reators at every house were wearing low cut tops. I wondered if that was just new fashion I missed.

Steveoh,

Please do me the favor of including the following when you write your "intent to vacate" letter to your old landlord:

Dear Flipper McGreedbag,

PS. Should I assume you're keeping my deposit and go ahead and file my petition with small claims court now, or wait til I move out?

Yeah, why don't the realtwhores get a clue. If I am buying and I can go with any buyer's agent I want and for my own 'professional reasons' I pick a really hot chick I don't want to see a blazer. I would not feel it unprofessional for her to present my offer in a G string. Now that's negotiating.

BTW I almost hit the deck when I read the XL post.

A chick with a back tatoo, with the XL mid shirt, with back and neck hair, now that's what I'm talking about.

Funny story about back hair. We used to tease my brother about his backhair problem. His back follically active issue, so he went in for a waxing. He had a $25 coupon. When he showed up and took his shirt off the price doubled.

I think that was wrong since they could have sold the large stip of tape afterwards as a nice shag area rug.

There’s something to be said about those who are so secure that they don’t care about being or becoming the “best” and are so content with being an average guy (troop, enlisted, whatever), living in an average neighborehood, driving an average car, and

They're so secure they don't bat an eye when their women go to the Bahamas for a 'girl's trip'.

GC we're talking about a lot of back hair. Mother Teresa wouldn't have taken that on for free.

GC,

KC-135, a modified Boeing 707 that refuels other aircraft in flight. We would burn circles in the sky over northern Iraq, and the combat planes would hit the boom for fuel. Kept this up long after the war for "Deny Flight" and over Yugoslavia for that mess also. Great TDY's though, we were based out of Sicily, Anatolia (Turkish Riviera), and Provence (France)for months at a time. We even got time at Bodo, Norway. Flying low over the fjords was just beautiful, as was flying over the Alps.

If you don't like the execu-slut look, maybe this will do you better:

Some of you might remember these guys from a previous thread. Still gives me the creeps.

@HARM,

Nicely done. Especially "Should I assume you're keeping my deposit"

Why do I get the feeling that this is going to be a VERY common occurence over the next few years? Oh yeah, and whatever you do "don't give it away"! Freaking priceless man.

If by exotic you mean he had Macaws making nests then I can put you in touch.

Sweet.

Luna, those people would be the beautiful socialites in NM.

lunarpark,

Sweet Jesus! I just lost my lunch.

Well, we know she gets the Brazilian wax job, which is unfortunately all too obvious.

@HARM

Perfect! (cutting... pasting...)

Should I add ? "Remember, this is not your fault. That sleazy, predatory lender that duped you into this mess in the first place, should rot in hell for taking advantage of you.” I wish you luck in your lawsuit against them and the investors that bought your loans.”

Steveoh,

You should also add in something along the lines of, "Don't forget - you may be eligible for a bailout by the federal government real soon. All may be well for you after all. Hang in there!"

Noooooo!!! Don't give them any bad ideas!

If only she wore a conservative one piece with a wrap and covered her face with Jackie O shades. Then she might only look pathetic rather than scary.

"Wow! Your job is pretty risky, because if an enemy figher gets close to you, there’s no way to fight back or escape."

Oh, why weren't you in a bar when I was trying to pick up?

We were never really in danger. No Iraqi fighter would even get close enough for a shot, since every F-15 in the air that day would jostle for the chance to splash it (in fact, this eagerness accounted for the US helicopter shot down by "Rotor", who did not take the time to properly identify since doing so may have allowed it to land, and thus cheat him out of his 5th air kill) And no ground anti-aircraft radar would even be used to guide rockets or artillery since merely turning it on would invite Wild Weasel strikes.

In fact, the only time I know of that we we fired on is when I saw the puffs from what looked like a howitzer on the ground firing, and the hits on a mountain. The howitzer was probrably Kurds who may have thought we were Turks. Yes, our allies the Kurds were routinely bombed by our allies the Turks, with the Turks flying American built aircraft.

If we didn't have smart people, we wouldn't have our current stupid people social problems.

Once all the smart people dies off, the idiots will return things to an (idiotic) equilibrium.

Re Evolution in modern society…
In our not too distant past (say, 1 million years ago up to about 1900s)

hmm, that would be distant past -- homo erectus I think (Peking Man, etc)... modern homo sapiens is pegged at emerging maybe 200,000 years ago, and modern civilisation and settlements only in the last 10,000 years. Prior to that, it is considered neolithic societies were largely unstratified, much as we see in pre-state societies today such as the New Guinean highlanders or Australian Aboriginals. It's possible there was an evolutionary 'spark' about 10,000 years ago where alleles for intelligence became more widespread, which might explain the very long period of incredibly slow advancement prior to that...

We're getting to the tipping point where the benefits of smart people and functional society are inadequate to counter the environmental degradation and destructive weaponry and lack of herd culling.

We're doomed. No changing that. Let's have fun while we can.

I refuse to believe that humans evolved from monkeys.

"neolithic societies were largely unstratified, much as we see in pre-state societies today such as the New Guinean highlanders or Australian Aboriginals."

Yes, and the land is owned in common and everyone gathers or hunts what he needs. No private plots to farm. Property is limited to articles of clothing and rudimentary tools, which are easy to defend or replace.

An environment where socia$m actually works.

lunarpark,

Someone e-mailed me that link earlier and it was titled:

Have you ever wondered what happened to the Coppertone Girl?

E-gad! Mom... knock it off! :(

Lunar Park,

That is the perfect Computer Wallpaper I will put on co-workers machines

I refuse to believe that humans evolved from monkeys.

Actually, we didn't. Humans and monkeys are different evolutionary offshoots of a common ancestor.

Peter P evolved from an accidental meeting between a cylon and a cat.

"That is the perfect Computer Wallpaper I will put on co-workers machines"

Heh, thanks for the idea...

You're right Peter P, we didn't.
We both evolved from a common ancestor - proconsul - around 20 million years ago. We never have and never will evolve from monkeys...

In other news - listings in L.A are dull, as
A) they're just the same houses relisted from last june.
B) new houses, 3000 sq ft + built on lots of 4500 sq ft.
C) Teardowns/duplexes/condos/townhouses/'investment properties'(wtf), pretending to be SFRs with little or no success at pretence.
D) Mansions big enough to hide a religious cult in, none under 5 million dollars.
E) teeny houses for Ken and Barbie, wedged under freeway onramps, yet somehow priced as if they were mansions in Malibu.

I keep an eye on ZipRealty, but to be honest, the fun has gone out if it - almost 2000 lisintgs in my search, and yet I only have 25 saved in 'my homes' because they meet with my requirements.

On the subject of savoury pies....I like a Cornish Pasty almost as much as I like a man in uniform

"I refuse to believe that humans evolved from monkeys."

Why Peter P? Would that make you feel guilty about eating chilled monkey brains?
