You're too kind, Bhaskar.ing ...
I just try to write like I talk ... it's no big deal, really.

I feel that's the only possible conclusion one could come to, Saul.

Actually, my boyfriend doesn't drink, Passion.

Thank you, food4thought ...
and yes, my vast knowledge is often difficult for guys to accept.

But I will know, Blanche ... that's all that matters.

And, I'll always be able to snicker about it behind his back.

Why thank you, TAPS.

I'm glad you enjoy it.

Mademoiselle
Superbly written. I greatly love such creative pieces, said so disarmingly a style. Wish I had a bit of your talent! Honestly! No intended pun here. ...The first one is you and the second, me.

That was so rude!!! How can you live with yourself, talking during a
ballgame.  LOL>  Personally, I believe Mr. Nimrod was out of line...

IN that case, I don't think you're too young to learn this about men:::

NEVER SPEAK DURING A TELEVISED SPORTING EVENT THEY ARE WATCHING.

The only thing that it's acceptable to say is:

"HOney, can I get you  a beer?"

Mademoiselle...
They were just chapped that you knew more about football than they did.  Great post.

Mademoiselle, that was so unmanly of James. He could have at least
made a snide comment on your behalf.  What good is taking revenge if Farquuade never knows he's been punked?

Mademoiselle, Your wit and humor never ceases to entertain me.

Perhaps fortunately (for him), Azur, James isn't a very creative guy.

posted by Mademoiselle on December 5, 2006 at 2:58 PM | link to this | reply

Yes, well
James could have come up with a creative response to that!

I pretty much talk a lot during everything, Passion.

Except "Gray's Anatomy" ... because that would be wrong.

posted by Mademoiselle on December 5, 2006 at 2:28 PM | link to this | reply

LOL...Cool Story...but I DO feel the need to ask you something....

"DO YOU TALK ALOT DURING FOOTBALL?'

If so, let me assure you that this is frowned upon by ALL men everywhere.

It had a lot of matted hair in it, too, A + B.

posted by Mademoiselle on December 5, 2006 at 1:52 PM | link to this | reply

That will remain with him forever because people generally never wash their hair brushes thoroughly. 10 clicks for your helpful suggestion on drawing.

I wonder if there's an actual term for that (phobia), Corbin?

I'll have to check that.

posted by Mademoiselle on December 5, 2006 at 8:50 AM | link to this | reply

Will do, bandana ...

Good timing, btw ... I'm leaving for lunch in, like, ten seconds.

Maybe Roethlisberger was just shy, LadyChardonnay?
And I can imagine what they must eat, considering the size of some of them.

posted by Mademoiselle on December 5, 2006 at 8:14 AM | link to this | reply

Actually, Corbin, I always flush before I lift the lid ...
I have a phobia about "floaters".

posted by Mademoiselle on December 5, 2006 at 8:12 AM | link to this | reply

yes they did - my ears are still ringing
yes troy polamolu - when i was a manager at the hilton they stayed there for their home games and i got to meet them and the older ones too.  ben is very mean and unfriendly - but troy and alot of the other are so friendly - especially bill cowher.  they rode the service elevators and naturally we had to feed them - you would not believe what these guys eat before a game!!!  i wasn't working there last year and i am glad - total mayhem

Good for you......
I hope the toilet hadn't been flushed yet!

The thing is, Troosha ...

my boyfriend is just not very confrontational, in general.

It's simply not in his nature to be so.

posted by Mademoiselle on December 5, 2006 at 7:51 AM | link to this | reply

Well, you can't really complain, LadyChardonnay, considering the year they had last season.

You mean Polamalu? He certainly has a good head of hair.

posted by Mademoiselle on December 5, 2006 at 7:49 AM | link to this | reply

my man wouldn't have said anything either
because he knows I would have said it first!!!  and the party would have quickly ended for me - better for me to let the little boys play off on there own...

Mademoiselle
It's a little odd but a reality that we DO think our companion should defend our honour when someone says something rude to us (and Farguuar was most certainly a jerk).  I suspect they probably think  "If someone pissed you off - deal with it".  OK - so there's some merit to this but I'd still be a little disappointed if B didn't grunt out at least a little something.

I know, SuccessWarrior ... it's ironic, isn't it?

My professor says I'm an amazingly "economical" writer.

well I don't actually live with the Steelers - but Troy is cute

posted by ladychardonnay on December 5, 2006 at 7:41 AM | link to this | reply

i live in Pittsburgh with the Steelers
you should here the screaming and yelling throughout the neighborhood during games - and we are losing this year.  My neighbor went outside a few weeks ago after a big loss and threw his garbage cans in the middle of the road - they are very intense around here!!!

Yeah, LadyChardonnay, excessive perspiration is not exactly an endearing trait.

I can't fathom how some people can become so emotionally invested in the outcome of a sporting event ... unless, of course, they have a lot of money riding on it, or something.

his best friend sweats alot and tried to call every play before the ref

posted by ladychardonnay on December 5, 2006 at 7:17 AM | link to this | reply

His friends and my friends are, like, "polar opposites".

posted by Mademoiselle on December 5, 2006 at 7:14 AM | link to this | reply

i have never been a big fan or my guys friends
so i just stay away from them

posted by ladychardonnay on December 5, 2006 at 7:12 AM | link to this | reply

I'll save that for the next time, LadyChardonnay.

posted by Mademoiselle on December 5, 2006 at 7:07 AM | link to this | reply

LOL that is what I was afraid of.

posted by bel_1965 on December 5, 2006 at 7:07 AM | link to this | reply

Depends on your definition of "a lot", Bel.

I mean, I do occasionally stop to take a breath, every now and then.

posted by Mademoiselle on December 5, 2006 at 7:06 AM | link to this | reply

he was rude and you should have chosen the toothbrush!!!

posted by ladychardonnay on December 5, 2006 at 7:03 AM | link to this | reply

LOL that was not nice
And being the parent of a teenage girl, I have to ask:  Do you talk alot?   Because had it been Pam; the answer to his question would have been no.
