I'm not saying it's off limits. I don't make any rules around here. I'm just saying that it's really no one's business, and they never made it anyone's business on the boards that I ever saw. Most people that weren't actual FOH probably didn't even know they were married or later divorced...

One point that you never hear raised, and that is almost impossible to argue with, is that if you're legitimately concerned about the environment the single best thing you can do for it is to not reproduce.

Exactly. Who gives a fuck? Leave that alone. On the other hand, I'm genuinely curious why Req would shut the boards down after making such a big to-do about updating the board software last week and bragging that Rerolled or wherever else would never have the longevity that FOH had.

That doesn't make sense. The cap is based on per-season numbers. Whether a contract is 5, 7 or 10 years long if the average salary is 7 million the term is irrelevant as far as the cap is concerned. The only argument for having such long term contracts, in reality, is cap circumvention through...

Was there any final reason given by Req as to why he just up and shut it down all of the sudden?

It would appear it's either early or late season, and they're downloading the bottom part of the mountain due to lack of snow/base. Also sometimes mountains will close runs at a certain time, sharp, so that ski patrol can "sweep" the mountain. If you don't get on the run in time, they may make...

I don't really agree, or at least not entirely. I remember in 1997 when I was 16 and looking at getting my first car, a low end Pontiac Sunfire or Chevy Cavalier was around 13-15k. Today you can still buy an equivalent car for about the same price, despite inflation of something like 30-50%...

I don't see why anyone would buy the "players have given up so much" line of argument. Yeah, they have given things up, because they've been making money hand over fist while most of the league loses money or barely breaks even. No shit they're being asked to give back some of their share of...

Because we get fucked, is why. Both in the US and Canada. I pay $95/month for the package my Blackberry needs to be useful. I think around 500 minutes, unlimited texts, and I'm not sure how much data but around 2gb I think. And it's a three year contract to get the full handset subsidy. I'm...

heh, the sum total of our "expensive" dating has been a concert with dinner beforehand ($12/plate!) and brunch three times cause we can't ever make evenings work other than a quick bang and snooze. I don't know her financial situation, but I think she does alright between waitressing full time...

It's actually been fairly well studied by psychologists. Basically, they come up with a bunch of justification for why the prophecy didn't hold true, and end up with their beliefs actually reinforced. Welcome to cults.

Agreed that buying a used, high mileage, luxury car doesn't make a lick of sense "status symbol" wise. However I think that people massively overstate how expensive BMW's and the like are to maintain. I've never had a Mercedes, but I've driven a BMW for the past 10+ years, about 3-4 years of...

Since when have I ever "thrown money" at chicks? As far as being excessive, yeah it's on the high side. But considering a decent dinner and a bottle of wine runs around $80-100 (round these parts, anyway, a "decent" meal at McDonald's for 2 is $25) it didn't seem outlandish. I'll see what else I...

So, what's the story with the song he posted back in 2005? I never bothered listening to it. Was it really a dude singing like a chick?

haha, funny story, I'm going back to Japan in February. So this is doable, in the medium term.

I suppose I was duped, but the sum total of my duping was saying "well jeez, what about the whole rape story?" while admitting I may well have been pulling a Duppin. Otherwise my interaction and involvement with Evelys' persona was virtually zero, other than vague disgust when various board...

It was better on How I Met Your Mother... Just wondering something on Christmas presents for ladies. I fucking hate presents and sentimental shit, because I am the least sentimental person in the world. It's just not how I operate. So naturally Christmas is coming up, and I've been dating...

Glad to know you ladies care.

haha, hardly, I even said "maybe I'm pulling a Duppin" in the post. I guess I just couldn't wrap my mind around someone actually inventing a fucking RAPE PREGNANCY story of all fucking things. It's not like I spent weeks white knighting. Still. I feel shame.

Peace out.

Fuck you. Cunt.

Why should anyone care?

haha so much this.

Fuck you. Cunt.

Obvious: send her The Package. But seriously, what have you got to lose? Add her, creep the fuck out of her profile to see gather some info/ammunition, meet up for a coffee and go from there. Maybe it goes nowhere, maybe it goes somewhere. The worst that can happen is that you rekindle your...

I"m not really saying otherwise. Traffic or bandwidth numbers aside, there"s no question that there"s been noticeably less and less active posters and topics over the past year or two here. The only upside is that FOH"s reputation and involvement in MMOGs does bring in or keep some members...

Perhaps. But like any community, there"s an attrition rate, and unless there"s some source of new members it will just continue to shrivel and die. Not that this board has seen a whole lot of new membership over the past few years, either, but an entirely new board would see just about zero, I...

Not overly sure. She said she does developmental psychology stuff with kids a lot, doing interviews, having them play games and monitoring reactions, etc etc.

Yeah, that"s why I posted a screen grab from I Just Had Sex that I specifically mentioned in my previous post. We"ve just been cuddling and forehead kissing.

Again, sorry to disappoint my people.

I"m sorry for leaving my people disappointed! Generally I only post if I"m looking for opinions/advice or organizing my thoughts. Haven"t really needed any of that. When we texted about going to the Metric/Stars concert last weekend, I said I"d still be up for hanging out last Tuesday. She...

Slushee or casino indians?

I dunno, there"s one friend of mine I"ve screwed around with off and on in the past, and she"s definitely crazy in the fun kind of way. But that"s likely just from my perspective, having never been in a real relationship with her. Dating, it would probably get pretty annoying.

I don"t know if I agree with that. I think if/when dudes cheat, it"s generally just for sexual gratification and only for a short period, they may not even want out of their existing relationship, and cover their tracks reasonably well. Whereas it seems like with women they cheat for emotional...

It has long since turned in to a general dating advice thread. Other"s pop in from time to time, but my incompetence at dating is unparalleled. Although really, I"ve only posted a couple stories here the past 6-12 months if memory serves, been fairly quiet on my end. There"s been some pretty...

Hey fuck you guy! But not like, you know,that.

No, I"m looking for someone happy in their own life with plenty of their own interests that isn"t just sitting around waiting to latch on to the next halfway decent thing that comes along. And jesus, if anything getting friend zoned is the result of the exact opposite: being too available and...

Again, in this specific circumstance it"s not the fault of either of us, whether me being too busy or her not making time. We"ve got two tentative plans set up next week, one her coming by after work to watch a movie on Tuesday, the other going out with her friends on Friday. When she had got...

Considering she did her best hoover impression on me after I"d repeatedly called her the (slightly) wrong name, I"m thinking that I"m not in the friend zone to start with. Safe bet, anyways. Like I said, it"s not that she"s not making herself available or that I"m continually available, it"s...
