    Or that it’s Hiliary Clinton talking, or that it’s a woman talking, or that it’s a blond talking…. there is SO MUCH more that makes her opinion irrelevant than just that tacky brown suit.

    • ay dio mio says:

      But it certainly helps.

    • RhapsodicPersephone says:

      The first I agree with, the second two, not so much. I bet if it were Scarlett Johansson you’d listen.

      The suit is obscenely tacky, and looks like something Willy Wonka would wear as pajamas or something. -shivers-

      • Nebton says:

        I think he’d watch, but I’m not sure the upper brain would be engaged… (the blood flow would be diverted elsewhere)

      • I Like Peanut Butter says:

        There was heavily ladden sarcasm there……

        • Nebton says:

          I’d like to think that most of us got that… ;)

        • RhapsodicPersephone says:

          Sarcasm fails when you’re typing. Didn’t you know?

          • I Like Peanut Butter says:

            Neb got it and he’s a durty libral I mean liberal, or libra (Neb what’s your sign?)….. I digress… oh yeah you shoulda known, it’s your fault so STFU!!! :-)

            • Nebton says:

              I resent being called a Libra. I’m a Taurus and damn proud of it! (Just don’t confuse me with that fuel inefficient Ford Taurus…)

              • Justacarolinian says:

                Really? Mine gets in excess of 24 MPG. And the newer ones are even better than that. And I can haul more than one bag of groceries at a time, unlike many of the other cars of today.

                • viking gal says:

                  My sports car gets 30-32 miles per gallon–and I can fit 3 cat carriers, 2 duffles, a backpack and 4 bags of presents, and leave the passenger seat free for the BF!

                  • viking gal says:

                    Being a geek, I didn’t include the crate of emergency supplies and the sleeping bag in my list of stuff…

                    • dissimilitude says:

                      I hope you have good professional-grade jumper cables back there, too. Those little cheap thin-gauge ones are for crap.

                      • Justacarolinian says:

                        I can fit 6 passengers, 10-12 bags of groceries, Jumper Cables, spare coolant, spare oil, window washer fluid. And have even gotten 34 MPG on long trips.
                        And my jumper cables? They could boost the California economy.

                        • dissimilitude says:

                          6 counting the driver, right? You’ve got a bench seat in front with a middle seat? Or did they make a Taurus wagon with a third seat? :???:

                          And I would expect you to have excellent jumper cables, naturally.

                        • Justacarolinian says:

                          Yes, counting the driver. I am a passenger, though one with a duty!

                      • viking gal says:

                        Of course I have the good cables! And a set of chains, a shovel, those reflective triangle things, first aid, some coolant, water and peanuts. This woman wants to survive the apocalypse! Or a roadside car problem, anyway.
                        But the point was, I got myself a midlife crisis car, but still get good carrying capacity and mileage! No way I can carry more than 2 tall adults and 3 smaller folk, though–the back seat does NOT have head clearance!

                        • Justacarolinian says:

                          Ok, cough it up. What kind of sports car do you have? If it’s under 300 hp, it’s a poser. And I mean that as respectfully as I can.

                        • oɹɹɐɥɔ says:

                          I once had sex in a CRX.

                          Is that TMI?

                          Though, I am reminded now to go through my emergency supplies again. We once had 3 vehicles, one was basically stolen, the other I .. can’t do math. Let me start over.

                          We once had 2 vehicles, one was basically stolen the other I traded in for my current car. Most of the really good stuff was in the truck. My dad taught me well, always have reflectors, 4 sided tire irons, long jumper cables, various tools etc.; I just bought a safety kit for my car but for some reason think I may be sans jumper cables. Being winter, I should go inventory.

                          But since I’m nice and warm inside, I won’t. :-)

                        • Justacarolinian says:

                          Oh, word of advice ladies, don’t carry cables. Or at least get a booster box, so that you don’t need cables. You can get a decent one for about $50. Some of those boxes can’t be stored in sub zero temps, so be sure to check before you buy. (Up north) And the good ones will allow you to plug them in to the car, so they stay full charge, even when not used. If not, you simply bring it in the house every 2 weeks to a month. No need to find a second car, and many of them also have an air compressor too.

                        • oɹɹɐɥɔ says:

                          Now, I do have one of those. I think. Blargh.

                        • viking gal says:

                          I just looked it up, only 200hp, but I’m enjoying the heck out of it! Acura RSX S, 6 speed. Yippee! Given that I don’t have room or income to allow for a ‘regular car’, I have to have something safe to drive in the winter–and I think more than 200hp would qualify as too many horses to keep from spinning?

                        • Justacarolinian says:

                          Oh, and BTW, 68 VW, 81 Datsun 210, 83 RX7 and a multitude of pickups and vans…….

                        • Justacarolinian says:

                          Depends on how you drive it. And much respect for the Acura, but a real sports car will eat it alive. Though your car is quite nimble too.

                        • viking gal says:

                          Oh, I don’t want to keep up with the Porsche and Lamborghini crowd. I just wanted a few extra horse to play with on occasion (wee!), and to keep myself alive around those cellphone-yakking inertia-ignorant SUV-driving Massholes when need be.
                          Do you think I resent those drivers much? :P

                        • viking gal says:

                          Rx7–nice car.
                          Old VW’s make me think of a description I once read about their heating system–a hamster exhaling through a drinking straw. Still makes me giggle!!

                        • Justacarolinian says:

                          That’s the way I feel about my Taurus. It’s not powerful, but it does cruise nicely. And it’s comfortable. And those other cars were reflecting on Charro’s comment about making whoopie in small places.
                          My sister wrecked the VW (my first car) and was replaced with a 76 Granada. Plenty of room there. A nice car, as mine was not the usual 4 dr 6 cylinder. There is one identical to it on the final scene in Karate Kid, where Reese punches out the windows of 2 cars, aiming for Mr Miagi. The brown car with the tan roof looks just like mine, down to the hubcaps.

                        • Justacarolinian says:

                          LOL, yep. That hamster would burn your ankle, and that was about it. My defroster was a rag, if you get what I mean.

                        • oɹɹɐɥɔ says:

                          I object. I have never once “made whoopie”. And I merely said that to point out how roomy your average CRX is.

                        • viking gal says:

                          I think the BF and I would have to rent a Checker cab if we wanted to ‘make whoopie’ in a car!
                          (viking heritage + not in our 20′s =/= car sex)

                        • mabsba says:

                          Car sex is for young people who don’t have someplace better.

                        • dissimilitude says:

                          …..or who just can’t wait long enough to get home. Not that I’d ever do that, of course. *looks innocent*

                        • viking gal says:

                          Ah Diss–that explains the bruises!

                        • oɹɹɐɥɔ says:

                          Some of the car sex incidents were for that reason mabs. Some of the other ones were because we couldn’t wait.

                        • mabsba says:

                          Right. Sure. :roll:

                        • Justacarolinian says:

                          Charro dear………. “oɹɹɐɥɔ says:
                          January 4, 2010 at 3:19 pm

                          I once had sex in a CRX.

                          Is that TMI?”

                          And Mabs, you’re missing out. It puts a whole new spin to date night!

                        • mabsba says:

                          I don’t remember anything about that particular exercise to miss, thank you much. As I said, that’s why I have a house. :)

                        • oɹɹɐɥɔ says:

                          LOL. I’ve had sex, Justa. I’ve never made whoopie. :-P

                        • Justacarolinian says:

                          I don’t guess you would think it entertaining on the washing machine either? I’m all for coming together joyfully in many unique places!

                        • Justacarolinian says:

                          I’m sorry Charro, I’ve heard some women have problems with the whoopie part. ;-)

                        • mabsba says:

                          TMI, JAC.

                          Oh, Charro! I am so shocked that you are not as pure as the driven snow. *puts hand to forehead and faints*

                        • Justacarolinian says:

                          You know Mabs, maybe that’s why your washer died early? It felt left out?

                        • Default User says:

                          I don’t care how hot you are! If you keep having sex in the driven snow you’re going to catch a cold!

                        • Okay, THAT was TMI, JAC. LOL

                        • Justacarolinian says:

                          Now Rando, you and I both know that you will be chasing the wife in the laundry room tomorrow. Just admit it. Who knows, it might be the inspiration you need to accomplish that goal!

                        • oɹɹɐɥɔ says:

                          I just have problems with silly euphemisms.. That’s all.

                        • Pfft. Been there. Done that. Except it was the apartment complex’s laundry room several years ago. While our friends were sitting in our apartment wondering what the hell happened to us. How’s THAT for TMI?

                        • bitter wino says:

                          But was the washer running?

                  • oɹɹɐɥɔ says:

                    My Civic holds a lot and gets.. Really good gas mileage.

                    The point I’m trying to make here is I’m not looking forward to driving back to AZ from IL in my Civic with 2 cats and a dog.

                    • Justacarolinian says:

                      *much sympathy sent your way*

                      • oɹɹɐɥɔ says:

                        Hmm.. I said “thanks”, but it got eated.

                        • Justacarolinian says:

                          I was hungry. Sorry. I moved 10 blocks, and my cats thought they were going to die. Screaming cats and bleeding owners. *sigh*

                        • oɹɹɐɥɔ says:

                          Yeah, when I moved from my dad’s house to the last house I lived in in AZ, we brought the cat and she was in a carrier. I was petting her lovingly to try and soothe her, she was kind enough to insert a claw under my skin on my finger. I started chanting “retract retract retract” because I was afraid she was gonna pull away and take half my finger with her. She kindly retracted.

                          Make no mistake I love my kitty. So much I adopted her happy ass twice.

                        • Default User says:

                          I went to Kansas to visit family a few years back and took my cat with me(24 hour straight drive with my dad at teh wheel). After the first twenty minutes I couldn’t stand her crying so I took her out of her cage and cuddled her, after about an hour she calmed down and spent the rest of the trip asleep on my lap except for one point when she really needed to go, she started freaking out and meowing and running around the 4runner as much as her leash would allow her. Then she found the litter box and went back to being calm.

                        • viking gal says:

                          Back when I only had one cat, I felt sorry for him and let him out of his carrier to cuddle in my lap. –and the idiot cat-bastard immediately moved to cower at my feet…under the brake pedal! So I had to carefully pull over. I’m never doing that again without a copilot. Ever!

                        • Default User says:

                          Yeah, you definitely need someone who isn’t driving to calm the cats down for you and keep them out of the way of important things like break pedals and windshields.

                        • oɹɹɐɥɔ says:

                          There were two of us, but she still wouldn’t shut up. I cuddle coddled and cajoled her but she still wasn’t having it. At one point she got her paw on the auto window and it started rolling down and it took both arms to restrain her from leaping from the vehicle. Me yelling “Jeremy Jeremy Jeremy close the window close the window close the window” only elicited puzzled looks from him. After that, we put the child lock on. Stupid smart cat.

                        • justacanuck the booty wench says:

                          We had a cat that would pee on me, just me, everytime we drove anywhere. Sigh, I miss that cat…….

                    • viking gal says:

                      Ouch! One of my cats has meowed himself hoarse a couple times, and that is ‘only’ a 6 hour drive. Good luck!!

                      • oɹɹɐɥɔ says:

                        Ugh, on the way here Maggie just would no SHUT UP. I wanted to eat her. I can’t decide if I should get valium for the ride home more for me or for her..

                        • viking gal says:

                          There is kitty valium. I tried it (for the cats!!) a couple times. But one time, the trip was surprisingly short–no traffic in Connecticut or New Jersey? What is this world coming to?!?–and the cat got into a plant at my mother’s before the 6 hour medication was up, and the poor guy went into convulsions. Scared the crap out of me!!

                        • viking gal says:

                          Well I’d suggest avoiding mini-tropical tree-type plants around your sister’s cat, especially those with narrow leaves that look like striped spider plant leaves!? I thought I was going to have to do kitty CPR…fortunately not.

                        • oɹɹɐɥɔ says:

                          Well my sister was kind enough to throw us out, so we don’t have that problem anymore..

                        • mabsba says:

                          Our two cats meowed CONTINUOUSLY from CA to NM. I didn’t know cats could meow nonstop for that long. (Add to list of things you don’t want to know.)

                          BTW, Charro, if you don’t have a jumper box, Costco usually has a decent price on them. You want one that has places to plug in other stuff and will inflate tires, sort of an all-in-one. My husband used mine (he takes my car camping) at the Scout ranch to inflate someone’s low tire and was hero for the day. :)

                        • Justacarolinian says:

                          If you can afford it, I recommend getting one from a tool company. They usually have better quality batteries (which is all they really are) and higher amp rates. And most often much more durable.

                        • shonuff says:

                          drove two cats, along with the bf, from Jersey to Oregon during summer. will never do that again. they meowed for almost a day straight, then resorted to only meowing when we stopped to eat or get gas.
                          it was interesting, to say the least.

              • Smurf says:

                A Taurean huh, Nebton. Renowned for the bull, aren’t they?

            • dissimilitude says:

              I think Neb’s a she, too, right?

              • Nebton says:

                Not last time I checked.

                • I Like Peanut Butter says:

                  Did you sleep too close to the fire again?

                • dissimilitude says:

                  Oops. Well, apparently I mistakenly mentally attributed something somebody else said to you! (Hard to tell on the internet….)

                  • mabsba says:

                    Ooops. I think I may have been spreading that misinformation. Sorry, Nebbi. No wonder I didn’t get a response from my form turning you into that unnamed agency. :)

                    • Nebton says:

                      The funny thing is that IRL I’m “a boy named Sue”. (I.e., my parents named me after my grandfather, but it is now effectively a girl’s name.)

                      • mabsba says:

                        VG and I still embrace you as a fellow geek even if you are not a geekette. Especially since you know the difference between “i.e.” and “e.g.”. VG will just love you if you use commas correctly, especially near the end of semesters when she’s reading lots of comma-less papers. :)

                      • My wife’s name is fairly unisex. We met on the chat at our college. The first couple times we talked (just chatting it up and stuff) I had no idea if she was a girl or boy, and she didn’t let on. Boy was I happy when she finally dropped some clues.

    • dissimilitude says:

      But why is it so….shiny? And so oddly fitted….

      Wait, maybe she has him stand next to her to distract people from her ugly red suit?

    • Sara says:

      Were you not chastizing others for trying to politicize an LOL and taking it too seriously? You don’t like Hilary, we get it, if you don’t find this funny ignore and move on..geez

  2. irisblue says:

    so who IS the dude in the shiny brown suit that doesn’t know how to keep his jacket buttoned? and what’s with the tie?

  3. VictoryNotVengeance says:

    OOOoOOOOooo….. shiny!

  4. surrealfarm says:

    That shiny suit is scary! I actually feel sorry for him. He doesn’t know any better.

  5. n10bettes says:

    That suit will add to global warming, the reflection will heat up the atmosphere. They will need to levy a tax on that man.

  6. SAUMAGEB says:

    she can give him head while sitting. = D

  7. pbean says:

    He kind of looks like Keanu Reeves, doesn’t he? Although this guy surely has more facial expressions than Keanu.

  8. Danbala says:

    ZOMFG, what is with Libyans and their clothes? Or is it more narrowly genetical? Dayumm.

    • mabsba says:

      You know who that is? Enlighten us, O Swedish Guru!

      PS You missed the GW rant yesterday. :)

      • Danbala says:

        It’s one of Moammar Khaddafi’s sons, Mutassim Khaddafi* (security advisor to his daddy).

        I’ll have to check on the posts of the last fortnight now, I’ve been blissfully computer-disconnected over Christmas. :)

        *) I realise this is probably not the standard spelling of Khadaffi/Gadaffi/Qhadafi etc., but it’s how we do it. Mostly. ;p

          You should see the number of ways Hanukkah is spelled here. (That’s the ‘right’ one according to spellcheck, but you have to bear in mind that spellcheck doesn’t think spellcheck is a word.) :)

        • Nebton says:

          Evidently, according to Wikipedia, there are at least 37 ways to spell “Moammar Khaddafi”. Now that I think about it, however, 37 seems like a very unusual number to stop at, since it’s prime. You’d think there’d be x ways to spell Moammar and y ways to spell Khaddafi or x⋅y ways to spell the combo. Maybe I’ve just put too much thought into that.

          • mabsba says:

            *watches as Neb’s geek brain implodes* That was fun! Okay, my solution would be that not all first name spellings are used with all last name spellings. I.e., if you spell the first name Moammer, there are only certain ways that you would spell the second name because you are basing your first name spelling on certain rules. Then 37 gets to be the sum of those pairings.

            In other words, more linguistics and less math in the answer. :)

            But it would have been great if it had been 42.

            • Nebton says:

              Surely, we could come up with five more spellings…

            • dissimilitude says:

              But since 37 is a prime, it’s automatically cool.

            • Nebton says:

              Also, I don’t believe in linguistics. It’s a hoax.

            • mabsba says:

              True. I was swayed by a conversation last night with my son who was talking about Amazon’s poor marketing techniques with Kindle: he said they should laser etch “Don’t Panic” on them. :)

              This morphed into whether or not it would be cost effective for Amazon to offer custom etching. (Apparently there are places that do this, but it’s rather tricky as the ‘shell’ is very thin and it’s easy to etch too deep.)

              • HelOnWheels the Gene Pool Lifeguard says:

                “Don’t Panic”!! That would be awesome!! They should have made the back like the iPod so you could laser etch anything on it. You son sounds pretty cool, mabs.

                • mabsba says:

                  Thank you. He is. He is also, I swear, smarter than my husband and me combined, which at the risk of sounding immodest, is no mean feat ’cause we ain’t idjits. ;)

                  First time I ever looked at the comments here was when he started laughing because some really rightwing fundie troll was talking about the Christians being persecuted by the Romans. His comment: Mom, they threw ANYONE they didn’t like into the lion pits; totally non-discriminating.

                • dissimilitude says:

                  See, I want a Kindle anyway, but if I could get one with “Don’t Panic!” I’d totally have one by now.

                  • HelOnWheels the Gene Pool Lifeguard says:

                    I can’t get behind the Kindle. It’s going to cost me my job at some point in the future.

                    • Default User says:

                      It’s usually around 10 dollars per e-book. I don’t want to pay that when I can get a paperback for 6-8, less when you factor in my employ discount. Plus I like having a hard copy to look pretty on my overflowing bookshelves. There is also the tactile pleasure of turning pages, and looking at the size of the book to see how far along you are. Sure, you can look at the number of pages and see how far you have left, but it’s just not the same. Now if they sold e-books with regular books (i.e. you buy the regular book and get the e-book to go with it free) I might consider hopping on board. Honestly I think alot more people would be interested if that were an option.

                      • justacanuck the booty wench says:

                        I prefer hard cover to paperback, so I’m considering Kindle for the commute to work. A “piggyback” deal would be perfect! Work on that DU, okay?

                        • Default User says:

                          I’m working on it, but no one’s listening to me!

                        • HelOnWheels the Gene Pool Lifeguard says:

                          I would love a “piggyback” deal! I love physical, printed books for so many reasons, including having a physical, visible library in my home. But I’d love a Kindle for travel. I had to bring 5 books to Australia and then buy 2 more while there. When all you’re allowing for is carry-on luggage, that’s a lot of room taken up by books.

                        • mabsba says:

                          My sister takes after our dad: likes to read in the tub and falls asleep and drops the book. I don’t imagine that’s covered by the Kindle warranty. :)

                          (In the winter we often had a book propped up in front of the fireplace drying.)

                        • Default User says:

                          Well, with the kindle I’m sure you could put it in a ziplock bag and still be able to see it and ‘turn the pages’. Then when you fall asleep it won’t damage the kindle.

                        • viking gal says:

                          Mabsba, I love to read in the bathtub, too! But I don’t usually fall asleep. Have had to dry out a few books…and a couple cats who were too affectionate as young-uns!

                      • dissimilitude says:

                        I’m assuming that at some point the technology will catch up with itself and we’ll be able to check e-books out from the library, buy ‘em used, etc. …the main reason I love the idea is that, say I go on vacation. Know what I like to do on vacation? Sit on the damn beach in a chair and read. Sit on the deck or balcony and read. Sit on the plane and read. Are you seeing a pattern, here? ;-) So, I can easily go through a book or two a day if they’re not terribly challenging, and for vacation reading I’m more likely to grab thrillers and mysteries than anything serious. That means for a one week vacation, I’m lugging 10-15 paperbacks with me.

                      • dissimilitude says:

                        Come to think of it, shouldn’t the e-book logically be cheaper than an actual paper copy? Fvcking corporations stickin’ it to us again….

                        • HelOnWheels the Gene Pool Lifeguard says:

                          Well, an e-book is much, much cheaper than a hard-cover. And if you’re getting an e-book first “edition” then the comparable paper copy would be a hard-cover. So, yes, cheaper.

                          Here’s a thought: Will technology make first editions obsolete? I’ve collected (and would love to keep collecting) a bunch of favorite authors’ first editions. Will that not matter anymore? I’ve also given some first editions of loved ones’ favorite books as gifts. Will we not be able to do that henceforth?

                        • Default User says:

                          I think it will increase the value of first editions actually, as more and more ‘first editions’ are bought as e-books, the number of hard copy first editions will diminish. I personally think it will be quite some time before actual books become obsolete. I think they will still be making them in my life time. Among other things, there’s stuff you can’t do with an e-book, like fancy leather bound editions with slipcases and embossed lettering. Though the trend may be that most actual books being sold are the fancy ones like that, it’s still a long ways off.

                        • viking gal says:

                          But Kindle books will have no insulation value for the house!!

    Suit is so shiny…can’t look directly at it.

    You people are nuts. That suit kicks ass. I don’t know who he is, but he’s way too rock-and-roll to be there with her doing whatever it is they’re doing.

  11. mdav says:

    Admit it. That suit is pimp.

  12. Roguefemme says:

    LOL, I was wondering if that was Steve Valentine. The haircut is the same and he would SO wear a suit like that. Heck, it’s tame compared to the metallic red kilt he has been photographed in!
