Alarming News: I like Morgan Freeberg. A lot.
American Digest: And I like this from "The Blog That Nobody Reads", because it is -- mostly -- about me. What can I say? I'm on an ego trip today. It won't last.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: We were following a trackback and thinking "hmmm... this is a bloody excellent post!", and then we realized that it was just part III of, well, three...Damn. I wish I'd written those.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: ...I just remembered that I found a new blog a short while ago, House of Eratosthenes, that I really like. I like his common sense approach and his curiosity when it comes to why people believe what they believe rather than just what they believe.
Brutally Honest: Morgan Freeberg is brilliant.
Dr. Melissa Clouthier: Morgan Freeberg at House of Eratosthenes (pftthats a mouthful) honors big boned women in skimpy clothing. The picture there is priceless--keep scrolling down.
Exile in Portales: Via Gerard: Morgan Freeberg, a guy with a lot to say. And he speaks The Truth...and it's fascinating stuff. Worth a read, or three. Or six.
Just Muttering: Two nice pieces at House of Eratosthenes, one about a perhaps unintended effect of the Enron mess, and one on the Gore-y environ-movie.
Mein Blogovault: Make "the Blog that No One Reads" one of your daily reads.
The Virginian: I know this post will offend some people, but the author makes some good points.
Poetic Justice: Cletus! Ah gots a laiv one fer yew...
Well… it sure would be nice if real life would imitate art (I use the term loosely, of course) in this space. Once in a while, at least. But I think the price is kinda high for what the dude’s getting. IMHO.

Nicer restaurant + necklace + bracelet + cab ride home. He gets four BJ’s plus anal privileges, airhead arm candy, quickies in front of Austin Powers and a clean bathroom. I suppose it all comes down to what kind of necklace+bracelet we’re talking about…seems to me the negotiations would have been more functional if they spec’d that out a little tighter. Aw well.

That sure makes prostitution look cheaper.

I do. She’s no rocket surgeon, as our hero noted. It’s been my experience that the smarter the woman is (or quicker, mentally) the better the sex is. The fact that life is 90% vertical, even in the casual dating world, further reenforces my point. I don’t think she’s all THAT good looking, either… but I understand that’s just a matter of preference. Your point about setting boundaries on the necklace/bracelet is well taken. I wouldn’t be shopping Tiffany’s for that.
YMMV.
- bpenni | 03/26/2012 @ 07:36She’d be hotter if she didn’t have her hair cut like a lesbian’s. Her tits really aren’t that great, either. I’m not sure what the dude sees in her.
Interesting video, though. I always like parody videos where people “cut the crap” and say what they are really thinking….say all the things we’ve been trained from childhood to not say, because it is not polite.
On a more serious note, this is kind of sad. Their (brief) relationship is going to completely revolve around sex for him, trinkets for her. She’s reduced to little more than an overpaid hooker, as pdwalker notes. And as Buck points out, 90% of life is vertical. There’s…so much more to getting to know another person than what their apartment is like or how they are in the sack.
A decent girl would never accept that invitation so early on; a decent guy would never issue that invitation so early on.
