Awwww, Pete! PeteTheCat, that is!
...OH! Did you call her Pete because she's
adorable?
Was that your rationale? Because I like it! I like it a lot!
So, hivemind: what's that term for the thing you do in a debate, where you come up with some egregious thing that's supposed to prove your point, rather than actually, you know, PROVING YOUR POINT. You know, like: "And besides, Stoppard was a good friend of mine, so clearly I must be right in my interpretation of his play!" Or maybe: "What's more, I have a hole in my heart, so I would never ever have dreamed of following Atkins, however desperate I got!" Or: "I have an English degree, so I certainly had no problem understanding the book."
I know there's a term for this dick-measuring point-scoring crap, but I can't think what it's called. Anyone?
not Sox
Well, you have her house, her hot tub and her dog at the moment, so commenting on her DH doesn't seem much of a leap.

My usual source for that sort of thing didn't turn up any obvious answers, so I propose a new logical fallacy be added to the list - Argument From Being An Asshole.
bwah!
d speaks for me. (also d? I haz assbruise! AIFG!)
DH is feeling much bettered now and say bless to pharmaceuticals with special thanks to the entire steroid family. Still yeah. Ouch. Poor dh.
I wish the f2f was here! What?
Oooh, nice link, Jessica! Thank you!
I haz assbruise! AIFG!
Sox, I think you're channeling the birthday girl.
Best wishes to NDs dad and comfort to pixkristin and ND.
Yay kitten!
~ma for ND's dad.
We're having huge thunderstorms here today. Every time I think it's done, it starts back up again. My plans to go back to the farmer's market are on hold.

I like the term coined on these boards, an argument ex cloaca.
Sox, if you see a couple at the beach with a wee Boston Terrier they're calling Miyagi, say "Hello!" for Sass, the DH and I.
Happy Birthday, Teppy!!
I haz assbruise! AIFG!

HAHHAHAH! That's AWESOME.
Jars, kitteh Pete is ADORABLE indeed.
this is going to sound very mean spirited in light of all teh hot but is GILF aware of your makeOutLikeTeenagers dates?
I have not mentioned them to her, though I have to others, but I don't think she is (she may vaguely be aware I've been on a few dates lately, but given that she's polyamorous and would not in any way expect or want monogamy, that wouldn't be an issue). Though it is, indeed, the sort of thing she'd do.
