during a big snow storm here in 94 my stupid bosses thought I could ride a horse through 18+ inches of snow 11 miles to come to work. Sure, it would take about 3 hours, in below 0 temps and WTF am I supposed to do with the horse while I work?
well, you ARE in Texas...
Most of us here are parents... how the fuck does anyone fall for this? Could you imagine answering an ad of someone who wanted to pull off your kids pants and measure their underwear?
Ben Hawkins scammed parents into believing that he was an "underwear measurer" - a researcher who needed to measure the underwear of their children — alone. He was arrested for sexual assault of 11 children aged 9-16.
Hawkins, 44, took out ads in a Cincinnati weekly alternative newspaper and sometimes responded to parents’ ads for in-home child care. He asked the parents to meet him in a public place, like a high school, and the stated that he needed to measure the underwear of their children in private — and then allegedly proceeded to molest them.
Police allege that, even when he was under investigation and cooperating with authorities, Hawkins continued to contact parents and children to continue the abuse.
Don't send them my way, I don't tend to be gentle.
I was wrong, he does make a funny every once in awhile. lol
Maybe they've browsed the forums?
While reviewing new profiles for approval, I've noticed that very often people new to the lifestyle write something along the lines of "We/I are new to this so be gentle with us." What do they think we will do to them that requires that kind of special request? Is it meant as a joke or are they really afraid they'll be abused?
"Hmmm, were there other options in the poll?"
Yes. 99% of respondents agreed that true "shape-shifting" requires more than use of a photo taken with a Kodak Instamatic circa 1960.
Reptiles stole their koolah?
After reading some of the theories in this fora I can believe that.
Now that the elections are over, those pollsters get to ask Americans the really important questions. Like what conspiracies they believe. Last month Public Policy Polling asked Americans such questions as "Do you believe that shape-shifting reptilian people control our world by taking on human form and gaining political power to manipulate our societies?"
The good news is that only four percent answered yes. The bad news is that four percent answered yes.
Another seven percent weren't sure. So, 11% of our population, over 30 million people, are at least receptive to reptilian domination theories. Let that one settle in ....
I've never owned a pair, I just thought their commercials are funny.
I bought my husband a pair, out of curiosity. He wasn't impressed, but then again never felt normal pants were a problem in this regard. Once nice thing about Duluth Trading Company is they keep track of your purchases on line and you can always exchange them if you are dissatisfied with the product, even years down the road - without having to keep track of the original receipt.

The original (I think) radio spot:
soundboard. c om/sb/Ballroom_Jeans_ad
the one I saw was a cartoon of a heavy set guy and went he crouched down in regular jeans he sang soprano. The new crotch gusset jeans he was singing like barry white. I think they were jeans by Duluth?
Crouch without the ouch. :-)
I love the ballroom jeans radio commercial... "I can't believe you just said that...."
I get "prune room", but WTF is a nard yard?
"I just saw a post for "ballroom" jeans. "
Is this the new style of Levi's that Brett Favre is endorsing?

LMAO
I'm rather upper class high society
God's gift to ballroom notoriety
And I always fill my ballrooms
The event is never small
The social pages say I've got
The biggest balls of all
I've got big balls
I've got big balls
They're such big balls
And they're fancy big balls
And he's got big balls
And she's got big balls
But we've got the biggest balls of them all
And my balls are always bouncing
My ballroom always full
And everybody Comes and comes again
If your name is on the guest list
No one can take you higher
Everybody says I've got
Great balls of fire!
Some balls are held for charity
And some for fancy dress
But when they're held for pleasure
They're the balls that I like best
My balls are always bouncing
To the left and to the right
It's my belief that my big balls
Should be held every night
And I'm just itching to tell you about them (we've got big balls)
Oh we had such wonderful fun (we've got big balls)
Seafood cocktail, crabs, crayfish... (we've got big balls of them all)
WTF??? I just saw a post for "ballroom" jeans. Jeans for men that have a gusset in the crotch so when you crouch down it expands so that you have room for your balls.

Reuters ran a canned template of George Soros' obituary today. I don't know why. He's not dead.
The obit is down but someone grabbed a screen shot. When George Soros dies, Reuters already has the obituary ready - just a few blanks to fill in! The first sentence is a wee bit aggressive for an obituary.
----------------
""George Soros, who died XXX at age XXX, was a predatory and hugely successful financier and investor, who argued paradoxically for years against the same sort of free-wheeling capitalism that made him billions.
He was known as "the man who broke the Bank of England" for selling short the British pound in 1992 and helping force the United Kingdom to withdraw from the European Exchange Rate Mechanism, which devalued the pound and earned Soros more than $1 billion.
And his Soros Fund Management was widely blamed for helping trigger the Asian financial crisis of 1997, by selling short the Thai baht and Malaysian ringgit.
"Subsequently, Prime Minister Mahatir of Malaysia accused me of causing the crisis, a wholly unfounded accusation," Soros wrote in The Crisis of Global Capitalism: Open Society Endangered," in 1998.
"We were not sellers of the currency during or several months before the crisis; on the contrary ... we were purchasing ringgits to realize profits on our earlier speculation."
Still, economist Paul Krugman, was one of many observers who accused Soros of helping trigger the crisis."
Nothing gets me in the mood for sexy time like meeting up at Sbarro.
