Always Anti-fascist!

It's because I wouldn't, mostly, that I think Allyson should.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Perkins! those are the same two watches I got for myself. We are of one mind.

Yeah, those are the two Emmett would like best. His faves:

Yoda
Darth Vader
Darth Maul

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

It's because I wouldn't, mostly, that I think Allyson should.

So I can be your bizarre experiment?

Nope. Not gonna.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Work today is beyond dead, but I think it's only going to get slower as the week progresses.

So what are people doing for Thanksgiving?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I just think that I probably missed out on a few opportunities for further flirting, if nothing else, and that Allyson shouldn't have to lose out as well. But the other side if it is that it feels like a huge RISK to tell someone, hey, you're cute, I'd like to bump into you again. And what if he turns out to be an asshole? I mean, it's possible.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I have blue fingernails.

yay?

It is the time of year when I start really missing Festivus ice cream. WHY?! Ben and Jerry, why? won't you make the yummiest ice cream anymore.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

yay?

Yes, yay. Deliberately blue fingernails, as opposed to imminent death blue fingernails.

So what are people doing for Thanksgiving?

Going to my sister's in Maine where as many of my kin as are available will probably come over for dinner. Then staying at my Mom's until at least Saturday.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I'm not sure I get the problem here. It's not like they're [allegedly] sending a faker out with each and every member, are they?

No, but except for word-of-mouth*, they only make back one extended subscription per date. That extended subscription brings in $30/month-- let's say 30% of that is profit. So $10/month. How could you hire a beautiful woman that would possibly make it worth the company's money to save one customer at a time?

*admittedly, this is a big caveat.
