6/24    Comment from my wife on why Cal guys are dating non-Cal ('Furd or
        other) girls: "Who would want to date a Berkeley chick unless you
        want to be abused by her for doing nice things like holding open
        a door or treating her nice in general?"  Nothing ruder than some
        feminazi Berkeley bitch.  Or uglier.

                                   worthless for that.

                   own solution by mixing sugar with water and lemon juice.
                   how do you know what proportions to mix things in?
                \_ Gotta be careful though.  It'll burn if it touches anything
                   too 'sensitive'.  I suggest not.  Go get waxed.  They've
                   seen/done it a million times.  It's pretty common.

6/5     Is there a different technique to getting a Korean chick and a
        Chinese chick? I like them all and want to know how to get one.
        \_ Slightly different taste in food.
           \_ They also, consequently, taste different themselves. Chinese
              go well with an old german Reisling while I prefer my
              Koreans with a crisp Pinot Grigio. -(fucker)

              dessert wines only go well with white girls.

        \_ There are many differences. There are many differences just
           among Chinese chick(ens) too. May depend on geography, generation,
           as well as looks and other things. I will go into all of the
           nuances (and more obvious aspects) if I have time after work.

                            of relationships?  It seems self-defining to me.
                            Maybe they're saying you have a typically asian
                            female point of view regarding relationships?  And
                            are you saying you're more asian than asians or

04/64   My friend needs a gift idea for her boyfriend.  She wants to spend
        << $200 and wants something kinda cool for a semi-geek guy.  She
        thought about a CD burner but wasn't really sure about how to
        install it and whether there would be enough power on his machine,
        so now she's looking for something else.  Any ideas?
        \_ Sex. And it'll definitely cost you less than $200.
                \_ Yeah, she was giving it away free last weekend at the party.
        \_ If that's what she thinks he wants, just hand him the box.  He'll
           install it.  I'd be *very* unhappy to come home and find out my
           wife had decided to add new hardware to my machine without telling
           me first.  Some surprises are bad surprises.
        \_ Does he have a DVD player?  If not, get one.
           \_ boycott the MPAA, please.
              \_ MPAA is as anal about video casette, and DVD is just such
                 higher quality.  Live with it.
                 \_ hey man, I didn't say to go out and buy a VHS instead...
        \_ If he likes TV and she's willing to go a bit higher, get a TiVo.
           They're awesome, especially for people who work later than their
           favorite shows, or who get called at home while watching TV.

5/31    I am a shy; non GQ looking guy who has a mad crush on this girl
        in my class. I am white; she is Asian. How do I approach her
        ands not scare her off ?
        \_ What, you DON'T KNOW?  GEEZ.  And you all thought I was a scrawny

        \_ THOROUGH understanding of her culture is required. Saying
           I love you in Korean to a Flip girl will surely turn her off.
           Hang out with Asian guys, they're your window to understanding
           the Asian culture (and their cute little sisters).
                \_ Sisters, yes, asian chicks, no.  Reading about the poor
                   success rate of the other asian boys leads one to believe
                   that being white is the best way to get an asian chick.

        \_ First, young dansielsan, before I can help tell me which one:
           a) HK'ese
           b) Taiwanese?
           \_ Are there any other types of asians besides a) and b)?
              \_ They all look the same to me.
        \_ ask her if she speaks "Asian".
        \_ forget about asian girls, they are generally hard to persue.
           It takes forever to get to kiss them.  Anything takes too long
           is not worth it.

           \_ Asian chicks are as easy as the rest.  No problem.
        \_ Depends.  Giant lecture, small lecture, or small discussion?
           If it's a giant lecture it's not impossible but good luck.
           Otherwise you might have a shot.  Just sit down next to her
           and talk about the class.  If it's a semi-hard class maybe

                                                      problem, man!
           ask her if you could study together (perhaps in the library
           or something).  Just try to start with random chit-chat.
           Don't be too overt.  Just talk about things that interests
           you (avoid any discussion about sex). And by all means, be
           polite (complement her, open doors for her so long as she's
           not an ultra-feminist, encourage her, etc...). Oh yeah, try
           to sound intellegent (hopefully you are).  People (guys and
                    \_ intelligent.  (You can see how dubious it is to be

        it's like colorblind people arguing over who has the pretties rainbow
        \_ Contrary to coganman's experience, numerous other geeks are having
           plenty of sex.

                \_ I fucked a Puritan once.  Pretty much the same as anyone
                   else....
        \_ Let's assume for humor's sake that tjb isn't the liar we all
           know him to be.  Assuming that, all this proves is that women can
           be incredibly stupid and make *really* bad judgement calls when
            \_ where does it say that she's a drop out?  not everyone
               can get into cal in the department that they want.  sure,
           under the influence on alcohol or other drugs.
           \_ Ok, this from someone who lived in the same building as both
              of them last year:
              Yes, they went out. Yes, she hit on him. No, not under the
              influence. But the same statements applied to her and a large
              fraction of all other guys in the area.
              \_ Oh, so she was sleeping with anyone that would touch her, so
                 it's actually a big minus to have been with her, not a big
                 plus.  Avoid whores and you'll avoid a trip to Tang to get
                 your dick examined.  STD's are not your friend.  I wouldn't
                 be publicly gloating that I was with a chick that was with
                 30+ others the same semester if I was TJB.
              \_ I know of at least one other complete loser who was dating
                 her during her brief stay.  Extreme loser.
           \_ They actually went out. It wasn't a one-time deal. He dissed
              her though.
                \_Proving that boys have easy access to drugs and alcohol too.
       \_ hey, that's cool that a berkeley woman actually made it into
          playboy.  go bears...
                \_ No.  A drop out.  No big deal that some party chick in LA
                   got into PB.  Any idiot can get into Cal.  Any idiot can
                   drop out of Cal.  Any chick with big tits and gym time can
                   get into PB.  I don't see anything special here.
               it doesn't take much to get into l&s, but it does take
               a special breed of idiot to get maneuver into the cs department
                   \_ Hmmm.. let's see... she hasn't been in town for two years
                      and doesn't have a degree...  let's add 2+2 and see what
                      we get?  Maybe she's taking an extended leave to party
                      in LA for 5 or 10 years and plans to come back when she's
                      30 and worn out?  Ooookaaaaaay....  She's a dropout.
                      \_ No she's not. She *was* here two years ago, so shut
                         the fuck up if you don't know what you're talking
                         about. She's taking a year off but plans on coming
                         back and getting her BA and a masters to boot.
                         \_ Idiot.  How can she be planning on taking a year
                            off when she's already been gone for 2 years?  So
                            that'll be 3 years off total?  Her PB bio didn't
                            say anything about coming back, either.  It was
                            chock full of, "I LOVE GETTING LAID IN L.A.!"  I
                            also 'plan' to do become the first emperor of the
                            United States but that doesn't mean I will be or
                            anyone should take my plans seriously.  How much
                            more naive can you get?
                   \_ Not any chick with big tits and gym time can get into
                      Playboy. Do porn, maybe... but there are lots of chicks
                              \_ Spenking for yourself.
                      that do porn that aren't playboy caliber. You're a
                      trolling moron.
                        \_ Kona Carmack has small tits and she got into PB
                        \_ Gym/tits = playboy.  PB is the same chick over n
                           over n over.  It certainly isn't the best looking
                           women.
                           \_ what is gym divided by tits?  does that mean
                              that you have to have the proper proportion
                              of gym and tits to get into playboy?
                \_ I can't believe you guys are even thinking about arguing
                   about who gets into PB. How stupid. Y'all remind me of
                   \_ wad pad'uv texas ya fom?
                      \_ What the fuck is that supposed to be?  If you're
                         seriously selling that crap as an accent, you
                         LOSE.

                   do her if they had the chance. As if.

                           construction workers so maybe your opinions aren't
                           as valuable as you seem to think.

5/10    Where's a nice first date place to impress a "nice" woman.
        Serious replies please.
        \- you know if you want a serious reply, ask a serious question.
        you need to specify location, price and some sense of genre ...
                \_ SF would be good.
        morton's steakhouse in SF is much different from a $20 sushi place
        \_ Farallon, Aqua, Postrio, LuLu...all in SF though.
        in the south bay. --psb
        \_  the only thing impressive about most restaurants around here
            is the price of dinner vs. what you actually get...
            don't overdo it on the first date, it's not worth it.
        \_ is it generally a good idea to go to a very nice restaurant
           on a first date before really knowing the other person?  I think
           a more casual first date would be better.
           \_ BINGO! a truely "nice" woman isnt looking to be impressed.
               That's for your average gold-digging bimbo.
                \_ yup, perhaps leave a nice restaurant for the time when
                   you plan to get more serious with the person.
        \_ If you want to impress a woman, do so with your intelligence and
           wit, or if you don't have that, you could settle for your looks.
           Nothing else would work, certainly not a restaurant.
           \_ while this is true, having a good atmosphere helps provide
              a nice setting
              \_ A normal cafe is a perfectly good setting for a nice,
                 intelligent discussion.
                 \_ very true.  But mentioned below, sounds like the person
                    may be visiting and she seems to like going out.  I think
                    we may have to know the personality of the person the
                    poster is taking out.
                    \_ She may have said she likes going out in order not to
                       appear boring.  People play these sorts of charades with
                       each other all the time.  Some people date for years,
                 Bay, and it's quiet unlike Oliveto.  But then taking her to
                 a hotel might make her think that you're implying something.
                 -- yuen
                       and still never know what their SO truly wants or
                       likes.
                        \_ Don't play guessing games.  If she says something,
                           take it at face value.  Stupid mind reading game
                           playing idiocy is why people date for years or
                           even get married and still never know what their SO
                           truly wants or likes.  If she can't tell you the
                           truth on something so basic about herself, then
                           what sort of relationship are you going to have?
                           If it's just about sex, then who cares what she
                           likes?  --doesn't play ESP head games, did well
                           \_ Just because guessing games are lame doesn't mean
                              they don't exist, or they should be ignored by
                              burying one's head in the sand.  A human being
                              is a lying animal.  Taking things at face value
                              because the alternative seems hard to swallow
                              is ... naive and stupid.
                                \_ Obviously games exist.  By playing you only
                                   make it worse.  It's stupid.  By always
                                   being upfront that I don't play games and
                                   then living it consistently, I was very
                                   successful in avoiding all the fucking
                                   nut heads and liars and other time wasting
                                   bimbos.  There _are_ women who don't play
                                   kiddy head games.  Those are the ones you
                                   want a relationship with.  The rest are
                                   good for casual sex and nothing else.  I
                                   take it at face value to teach them not to
                                   fuck with me.  It works really well.  The
                                   super head cases flee, the dumb ones never
                                   "get it" and the smart ones quickly figure
                                   out correct behavior and adjust.  It's
                                   very Darwinian and works great.  Have fun
                                   trying to sort out the whacky losers from
                                    the real women with your method.
                                   \_ Taking things at face value doesn't make
                                      you noble, it makes you a sucker.  You
                                      may have gotten lucky by not getting
                                      seriously screwed by a cold-hearted
                                      player, but if you keep with this
                                      'strategy' of yours, you eventually
                                      will be screwed.  Human beings lie.  You
                                      can take what they say at face value,
                                      or tell them to be honest, but they will
                                      lie anyways.  It's life.  Don't be a
                                      sucker.
                                      \_ I agree with the other poster.
                                         Personally, I would like a woman
                                         who is honest with me and vice-versa.
                                         No head games.  It feels so much
                                         better (for a healthy relationship)
                                         \_ I also agree that honest women
                                            are better, and a healthy
                                            relationship has no games.  I
                                            don't like games.  I am just
                                            recognizing a fact of life that
                                            liars exist, and they cannot be
                                            ignored.  Some of them are even
                                            very good, and pose as 'honest
                                            women.'
        \_ You could cook dinner for her.
                \ I thought  of that; but she is from HK; and likes going out
                 and I thought iinviting to  my apartment might be too
                 forward.
       \_  uh-oh...HK;  that almost necessarily means super-high maintenance.
           HK's typically expect you to buy stuff and pay for everything,
           so be careful.  Something about HK's that seem common:  they
           always complain about how boring life is in the bay area and
           how they want to be back in socal or hong kong where everything's
           on at all hours of the morning.  you want that?

        \_ If it's a question of honor, just ask yourself ... "What
        \_ OH, yeah.  Of course it's OK.  I have no doubt that you are
           rescuing this girl from a fate worse than death.  You go,

           would Worf do?"  If it's a question of being cool, ask
           yourself ... "What would Fonzie do?"  Those guidelines
           apply to everything in life.
        \_ don't bother to read this next bunch of crap, and fuck the bitch
        \_ Maybe she's just confused and wants to make the bf jealous
           so that he'll show his love for her by kicking your ass.
           Once she's "woken him up" and made him "realize how much
           he really loves her", she'll dump you like

        \_ Look, she's not married to him, right?  She's willing to date?
           There's a reason why she's willing to date, because she wants
           something better than what she's got.  Is it unethical to offer
           her something better than what she's got?
        \_ If you don't mind some other guy in the future thinking the
           same way about you and her, go for it.
        \_ If she fools around on her current bf, who's to say she won't do
           the same thing to you?
        \_ Ethics has nothing to do with it.  She has free will.  You're not
           do anything she doesn't already want to do.  Don't be an egotist.
           forcing her to do anything.  Even if married, she has the right and
           option to get a divorce.  You do not have the power to 'make' her
           do anything she doecsn't already want to do.  Don't be an egotist.
           Don't be a manly prince doing The Right Thing by following some
           bizarre standard of ethics only you adhere to.  Don't be the
           patronising idiot you sound like.  She has a choice in the matter.
           It's *always* ok.  Even to pursue a married woman.  She has the
           option to tell you to fuck off if not interested.  I'm a married
           man and have no problem knowing my wife is getting hit on at work
           you want this woman.  If you thought the boyfriend was an OK guy,
           everyday by both men and women.  They have the right to try and
           yourself.
           she has the power to blow them off.
        \_ My rule on this is simple: don't break up a good thing.  Besides
           the obvious meaning, there is the underlying belief that, if you
           break up a good thing, someone else will come along and break up
           something good that you have later.  This raises the question of
           how do you tell if something is a good thing?  If the bf is a
           luzer, then I'd say no, but don't be so quick to make that
           judgement.  Of course you think the boyfriend is a luzer-- afterall,
           you want this girl.  If you thought the boyfriend was an OK guy,
           then you'd have a much harder time justifying your actions to
           yourself.  Ask a friend what he/she thinks, perhaps a mutual friend
           of yours and the girl you're interested in.  Better yet, ask the
           girl about the bf.  There's almost always a bit of idealizing that
           goes on when describing a significant other, but you'll probably be
           able to tell pretty quickly whether the faults outweigh the
           benefits.  One last thing: corollary to my rule that you shouldn't
           break up a good thing.  You're obligated to break up a bad thing.
           -dans
           \_ You're confused.  You *cant* break up a good thing.  You don't
              have that power.  Your entire line of reasoning is patronising
              and demeans her ability to choose for herself.  She may be with
              the biggest loser on the planet but choose to stay with him no
              matter what you do.  She may be with the biggest winner and
              leave him for a total loser like you.  Again, it's because she
              has chosen to do so.  Making yourself available and pursuing her
              has *zero* ethical implications for the guy hitting on her. None.
              Zip.  Nil.  She has free will.  Stop your patronising bullshit.
              She'll stay or go as she pleases no matter what you decide, do,
              or think.  She isn't an object.  No wonder so many young men
              have such a hard time getting laid.  You completely and totally
              fail to comprehend this one simple fact.  She's a person.
              As far as your theory about someone else coming along later if
              you do it now.. that's total bullshit. Your actions now have
              absolutely no bearing on what some other guy will do down the
              line.  There is no cause/effect relationship between you and
              the future actions of an unknown individual.
              \_ I think dans is saying "This is the way I think people
                 should do it," and the responder is saying "That's what
                 you think, but don't feel guilty if you want to hit on a
                 spouse, because that person can decide on their own."
              \_ What the free will wanker is missing is that free will is not
                 a given.  She can think for herself?  I don't take that for
                 granted.  And no, I'm not being sexist.  Plenty of guys can't
                 think for themselves either.  And even if someone generally
                 has a good head on his/her shoulders in day to day life, most
                 people get all fucked up when it comes to relationships, and
                 there capacity to decide goes out the window.  In immature
                 relationships (and one can't judge if the relationship in
                 question is mature or not without more information), one
                 person usually has a not wholly insignificant degree of
                 control over the other.  In said situation, the "other" has
                 had his/her will subverted, and it cannot accuartely be said
                 that he/she can think for him/herself when the relationship
                 is concerned.  Hence, the obligation to break up a bad thing.
                 Free will is a choice.  Even if you are born free, which,
                 despite your rosy enlightenment-inspired worldview, is not
                 guaranteed, you are only free so long as your will is YOUR

                  not go looking for people on the side.  The fact that
                  hasn't just dumped him means she hasn't got he head on
                  straight, and you shouldn't date her because she's a

              get some poor girl pregnant and screw up her entire
              life by beating off. Also no STDs. And if he keeps it
              private, his enemies can't use it to black mail him.

              \_ You don't "get some poor girl pregnant".  Sex outside of rape
                 is a mutual responsibility.  She isn't a "victim".  And from
                 your wording you imply that once pregnant _he_ has no
                 further obligation or duty to help take care of _his_ child.
                 The law will say otherwise.  Use multiple methods of birth
                 control or stop having sex with random women.  Otherwise be
                 prepared to pay and pay and pay for 18 years.  You *will* be

                 \_ Women (and esp. girls (IMHO under 25 is a girl)) in his
                    age group) have a heavier burden in terms of child bearing
                    and rearing than men. If he has sex (birth control is not
                    100%) and gets some girl pregant, he won't have to carry
                    the baby for nine months and deal with all of the physical
                    and emotional compliations that can result in pregancy.
                    If they are both in school, he can stay in classes while
                    she will probably have to skip a semester or more to care
                    for the kid, thus kissing her future good bye. Even if she
                    decides to abort, he doesn't have to endure that medical
                    procedure. I agree that if he fathers a child then he has
                    a responsiblity to care for the child, I did not mean to
                    imply that he does not have this responsibility. The only
                    problem with this is that the law only holds him financially
                    responsible for the child. A child needs much more than a
                    monthly check and clearly he (and probably the girl that
                    he has sex with) are not prepared to provide that. I think
                    that he should refrain from sexual activities with live

                   \_ always a risky move. She might get sucked in to
                      the dark side.
                        \_ Hardly.  If so then she would've done it sooner or
                           later anyway.  It isn't like there aren't plenty of
                           opportunities for it.  My wife gets hit on about
                           3 times a month that she notices.
                           \_ "opportunities" can be fought with morals.
                              If you explicitly tell her,"forget about
                              morals", its your own fault.
                           \_ If she's never tried it before, she wont
                              know what she's missing, until, fool that
                              you are, you push her into it.
                                \_ Some of us aren't as shakey in our
                                   relationships as you are.  -doing it
                                   \_ Having your wife/gf get it on with
                                      another woman, is in no way a
                                      sigh of whether your relationship
                                      is shakey or not.
                                        \_ But being fearful that she'll "go
                                           over to the dark side" says a lot
                                           about what you think of your own
                                           relationship's strength.  What
                                           you're saying is not what I was
                                           saying.  And I don't "have her"
                                           do anything.  We enjoy it together.
                    \_ If Julia was in it, it would be an even bigger box
                       office draw than usual for a Julia (or lesbian) movie.
                       But what would the title be? And what story-line?
                       \_ does it matter?
              \_ Hey, if movies like "Wild Wild West" and gross $100 million,
                it really shows that a large part of movie-goers have
                gone brain-dead, in which case, story-line is irrelevant...

        \_ not that anyone reads this thread anymore, but one of the other

        \_ Unh! Unh! Oh, just like that, yes baby, unh, deeper, all the way,
           baby, oh yes, unh!
        \_ But I wanted to hear what people had to say. I heard it, will stop
           now.
           \_ but I didnt get to say that:
              Any women who prefers anal sex greatly over vaginal, probably
              suffered extreme sexual abuse, and so while craves intimacy,
              shies away from normal penetration.
               \_ woah!  now there's an incredibly stupid theory!

1/12     What is up with men nowadays?  I was browsing the 'adult' room
         at Video Maniacs and saw a peculiar fascination many purported
         hetero males have with anal sex.  What is the real story?  Do
         most men crave anally penetrating a girl even if they can have
         access to the traditional orifice(s)?  I do not get why this
         spot especially would be the subject of so many adult videos.
        \_ I think what you want to look for is the bend over boyfriend
           series.  -aspo
        \_ you should be specific about "you saw lots of anal videos
           on the shelves", vs "all the guys were drooling over that
           section."
           PS: it's the whole "forbidden in 3 states" thing.
       \_ No different from any other 'forbidden' form of sex in a stuffy
          puritanical country.  If it was commonplace and not thought of as
          evil or twisted it wouldn't be such a big deal.  There's no special
          fascination peculiar to men.  Plenty of women like or even prefer
          it.  Just another taboo and not that special.  So how is it you get
          so close to the adult section that you can read the titles the men
          are looking at?  Little known fact: more porn is rented by women
          than by men nationwide.  While I'm at it, how do you know those are
          hetero males?  What's the real story with people like you?
                        \-i would be curious where the stat about more women
                        than men renting ho movies comes from --psb
           \_ Not to mention all those straight men ito recieving anal sex.
              People other than lesibans buy strap-ons too you know.
              \_ Unfortunately, most of the strapons are too damn big for
                 my comfort, so wifey doesnt get to play.
                 \_ what part of most don't you understand?
                    \_ Idiot. To anyone but the totally clueless, it
                       should be obvious I meant "All the ones ive seen
                        are too large, but I'm sure there are smaller out
                        there, so it wouldnt be appropriate to say 'all'
                        without qualification"
           \_ I'd like to see a source for that "more porn" statistic.
              Because it has a tough time standing up to me never seeing
              a woman in the adult section, but quite a few men.
              \_ You live in the Bay Area, Land of the Under Sexed Geek.  The
                 rest of the country is different and has the standard 52/48
                 female/male ratio in the general population.
              \_ Also depends on definition of "porn." If you include Brad
                 Pitt sans shirt in that category, then yea, maybe. Otherwise,
                 you'd have to provide a pretty damn reliable source.
           \_ That's on the assumption that original poster was female. I
              somehow doubt it.
        \_ hypocritically puritianical, I might add  -- swings
        \_ The stats come from the rental movie industry not your personal
           observations.  Anyway, that's beside the point.  The whole thing
           is a troll.  I want to know how the original poster can tell what
           movies men are renting and what the "main thrust" (heh) of each is,
           so to speak.  Troll, troll, troll.  -smells a troll
           \_ The rental industry wants to increase/protect itself, not
              provide accurate statistics. Which do you think is more
              beneficial, and avoids hordes of feminazis descending:
                a) porn is  mostly rented by a bunch of horney men
                b) porn is mostly rented by women
          \_ Who here has dated a woman who preferred anal sex? Or even
             liked it? I have dated dozens of women and only one liked it
             at all.
                \_ half of the women I've dated liked anal sex.
                \_ I have.  She not only preferred it but we rarely had
                   'normal' sex.  Anal sex every day.  Her choice.
                    \_ Was she a transsexual?
                        \_ No.  She was a born as female, lived as female, and
                           entirely genetically female.  What's so hard to
                           understand about a normal woman who likes anal sex?
                    \_ Damn. Can I have her phone number?
                        \_ She's married now.  I think she lives in SoCal
                           somewhere.  Haven't had any contact in years.
                           \_ I get it.  She wanted to marry virgin.
                                 mostly a virgin.
                              \_ If you rarely have normal sex, you are only
                                 mostly a virgin.  This comment does not
                                 concern you, anal sex boy.  -\
                                        \_ Mostly a virgin is like somewhat
                                           pregnant.
                                \_ Neither of you get it.  We had sex every
                                   day.  Often several times.  Every single
                                   day we had anal sex.  About every fourth
                                   day we had 'normal' intercourse.  She was
                                   nothing like a virgin.  Maybe the way that
                                   Madonna, the entertainment figure, is like
                                   a virgin.  She just liked anal sex.  It's
                                   very simple.  Don't over psycho babble it.
                                   \_ This from someone who has a CSUA

1/7     Female wants to keep her last name.  Male wants her to take his,
        hyphenation unacceptable.  Marriage this summer.  What do you do?
        [Actually, this isn't happening to me but two close friends of mine.
        The female has been engaging in subtle lobbying whenever liberal
        me is around; but the male keeps deflecting.]
        \_ If you two are getting married and not planning to have kids,
           why do either of you have to change your name?  If you do decide
           to have kids then there is the issue of their last names.  As
           one of my female friends once told me, "The woman bears the child
           for nine months; she should get to choose their last name."
           Having said that, if neither of you is willing to compromise
           on such a minor topic, then marriage might not be appropriate.
           Good luck. -emin
        \_ Have no last name. Be like Cher, Madonna, Prince (formerly).
           I'm changing my name so I'm a one-named-wonder.  A.U.B.I.E.
        \_ If you can't agree on something this simple, don't get married.
           You're not ready.  Incompatible people getting married because "we
           love each other" or "it was just time" is why the divorce rate is
           so high.  Do yourself a favor and think long and hard about this.
           How many other things have you not worked out yet?  Are you the same
           religion?  Do you both want kids?  Have you agreed to raise them in
           the same reloigion or non-religiously?  You can't choose both.  And
           what about jobs?  Have you discussed what you'll do if one of you
           gets a killer job somewhere else?  Is the other willing to give up
           their job and follow?  You're not ready for marriage.  Why do you
           need to ask this on the motd?  You trolling or just too young to get
           married?  -happily married, no unresolved issues
           \_ Ditto.  -another happily married, no unresolved issues
        \_ Male needs to remove head from ass.
                \_ Idiot.  It's a deeper issue than that.
                        \_ no it's not.
                                \_ "Yes it is, no it isn't, yes it is, no, it
                                    isn't, nyah! nyah! nyah!"  As others have
                                    already pointed out, it's deeper than that.
                                    You can't prove otherwise.
        \_ Break up.
           \_ Seconded. If she isn't willing to take his name, she'll be
              a bitch of a wife. Dump her now.
              Besides, what do you do if you have kids? She'll feel pretty
              stupid when peole dont think she's the mother because they
              have different last names. You WILL insist the children have
              your name, I hope.
              Note: yes, I am married. Wife went through this, as part of
              'familial separation anxiety'. She got over it.
              \_ Really, if you can't work this out then you shouldn't get
                 married.  And you shouldn't need to ask on the motd.
        \_ Use dashed name, maiden name as middle name, official nee postfix,
           or some other mix.
                \_ Wrong.  They have deeper problems than her name.
        \_ Declare last name to be empty string and enjoy watching databases
           die from dumb bugs on a regular basis
                \- flip for it and cheat.
        \_ kick guy in balls.  hard.  repeatedly.  then break up.
           \_ and go find the lesbo friend that obviously suits you.
           \_ Wrong.  This is a couple's issue, not the fault of either.  It's
              the fault/problem of both.  Please tell me you have no serious
              relationship plans for at least the next 10 years until you
              grow up and learn some tiny bit about life.
              \_ You're wrong.  It's obviously the guy's fault since he was
                 lame enough to ask the motd.
                 \_ The wording made me think it was a girl asking the
                    original question.  Unlikely on soda, but...
                 \_ No.  That's the part where we have to ask, "Is this a troll
                    or is he just an idiot?"  One stupidity does not make him
                    wrong on other issues.  This is a problem for many couples
                    today and the motd has nothing to do with it either way.
                    If this isn't a troll then they have real problems and
                    probably other questions that they need to work out before
                    they get married.  Saying he's automatically wrong because
                    he was lame enough to ask on the motd is stupid.  Nothing
                    is obvious.
        \_ Can you make and use a new lastname?  If Ricky Martin marries
           Mariah Carey, then Marrey or Cartin.
                \_ Legally changing your last name is possible but a huge pain
                   in the ass.  You have to go to court, change all sorts of
                   documents, get a million government and credit folks and
                   others to acknowledge it, blah, blah, blah.  You're better
                   off just killing yourself.  It's less painful.
                   \_ Uh.. what do you think many women do every time they
                      get married?  That's a legal name change, bub.
                        \_ BZZZT!  They still have to file papers, etc.  They
                           don't just start using the new last name and have it
                           magically be their new legal name.  Where do you
                           kids get this stuff from?  And why do you go off
                           about things you know nothing about when others who
                           do know have already told you otherwise?  Do you
                           try this in lecture, too?  Tried telling your
                           physics prof that gravity doesn't really work?
                                --been there, filed papers post-marriage
                   \_ actually legally changing your name in CA is quite
                      simple.  (Harder in the rest of the country though)
                        \_ BZZZT!  See answer further down.
                   \_ The government does not have the right to tell you
                      what you call yourself. You can use whatever name
                      you want without restriction unless it is for
                      fraudulent purposes.
                        \_ BZZZZT!  There's the name you use and put on random
                           documents and there's "legally changing your name".
                           Your passport must have your "legal" name on it.
                           This is the full name on your birth certificate
                           unless you've *legally* changed it.  YOU ARE WRONG!
                           GO TO THE END OF THE LINE!  Your passport can have
                           "aka" names listed on it but the primary name which
                           is required is your legal name, not what you call
                           yourself and sign other documents with.  Yes, in
                           fact, the government can prevent you from changing
                           your legal name and makes it reasonably difficult to
                           do so.  Good thing you're in EE/CS and not law
                           school.
                           \_ however for California residents things are
                              easier.  (Not for a passport no, that is a
                              federal document.)  You can get a driver's
                              license, for instance, with any name you want.
                              Consider how powerful a form of ID that is.
                                \_ Yup.  But it won't get you back into the
                                   country after aliens kidnap you and leave
                                   you in Singapore.

           that you even have a last name.
        \_ It's her name. If she wants to keep it, she should. Seems like
           the only issue that should have to be joint agreement is what
           to give the kids as a name. Choosing a new name together is

                        \_ no it's not.

                                    isn't, nyah! nyah! nyah!"  As others have
                                    already pointed out, it's deeper than that.
                                    You can't prove otherwise.
        \_ Break up.
           \_ Seconded. If she isn't willing to take his name, she'll be
              a bitch of a wife. Dump her now.
              Besides, what do you do if you have kids? She'll feel pretty
              stupid when peole dont think she's the mother because they
              have different last names. You WILL insist the children have
              your name, I hope.
              Note: yes, I am married. Wife went through this, as part of
              'familial separation anxiety'. She got over it.
              \_ Really, if you can't work this out then you shouldn't get
                 married.  And you shouldn't need to ask on the motd.
        \_ Use dashed name, maiden name as middle name, official nee postfix,
           or some other mix.
                \_ Wrong.  They have deeper problems than her name.
        \_ Declare last name to be empty string and enjoy watching databases

        \_ kick guy in balls.  hard.  repeatedly.  then break up.
           \_ and go find the lesbo friend that obviously suits you.
           \_ Wrong.  This is a couple's issue, not the fault of either.  It's
              the fault/problem of both.  Please tell me you have no serious
              relationship plans for at least the next 10 years until you
              grow up and learn some tiny bit about life.
              \_ You're wrong.  It's obviously the guy's fault since he was
                 lame enough to ask the motd.
                 \_ The wording made me think it was a girl asking the
                    original question.  Unlikely on soda, but...
                 \_ No.  That's the part where we have to ask, "Is this a troll
        \_ Who says the male is the one posting?
                    or is he just an idiot?"  One stupidity does not make him
                    wrong on other issues.  This is a problem for many couples
                    today and the motd has nothing to do with it either way.
                    If this isn't a troll then they have real problems and
                    probably other questions that they need to work out before
                    they get married.  Saying he's automatically wrong because
                    he was lame enough to ask on the motd is stupid.  Nothing
                    is obvious.
        \_ Can you make and use a new lastname?  If Ricky Martin marries
           Mariah Carey, then Marrey or Cartin.
                \_ Legally changing your last name is possible but a huge pain
                   in the ass.  You have to go to court, change all sorts of
                   documents, get a million government and credit folks and
                   others to acknowledge it, blah, blah, blah.  You're better
                   off just killing yourself.  It's less painful.
                   \_ Uh.. what do you think many women do every time they
                      get married?  That's a legal name change, bub.
                        \_ BZZZT!  They still have to file papers, etc.  They
                           don't just start using the new last name and have it
                           magically be their new legal name.  Where do you
                           kids get this stuff from?  And why do you go off
                           about things you know nothing about when others who
                           do know have already told you otherwise?  Do you
                           try this in lecture, too?  Tried telling your
                           physics prof that gravity doesn't really work?

                   \_ actually legally changing your name in CA is quite
                      simple.  (Harder in the rest of the country though)
                        \_ BZZZT!  See answer further down.
                   \_ The government does not have the right to tell you
                      what you call yourself. You can use whatever name
                      you want without restriction unless it is for
                      fraudulent purposes.
                        \_ BZZZZT!  There's the name you use and put on random
                           documents and there's "legally changing your name".
                           Your passport must have your "legal" name on it.
                           This is the full name on your birth certificate
                              liscense, for instance, with any name you want.
                           unless you've *legally* changed it.  YOU ARE WRONG!
                           GO TO THE END OF THE LINE!  Your passport can have
                           "aka" names listed on it but the primary name which
                           is required is your legal name, not what you call
                           yourself and sign other documents with.  Yes, in
                           fact, the government can prevent you from changing
                           your legal name and makes it reasonably difficult to
                           do so.  Good thing you're in EE/CS and not law
                           school.
                           \_ however for California residents things are
                              easier.  (Not for a passport no, that is a
                              federal document.)  You can get a driver's
                              license, for instance, with any name you want.
                              Consider how powerful a form of ID that is.
                                \_ Yup.  But it won't get you back into the
                                   country after aliens kidnap you and leave
                                   you in Singapore.
                           \_ How bad is the name?  My friend's given name
                              is Rocky and he got it changed to Eric when
                              he was 18 without difficulty.  The judge just
                              laughed at him and then signed the paperwork.

1/6     Does "engagement" mean the period after successfully proposing
        but before actual marriage ceremony?  Is an engagement ring
        considered mandatory when you propose (as in the movies) or should
        I buy it for her one afterward?  Is a diamond "mandatory" on the ring
        or what are acceptable alternatives?
        \_ You are engaged from the time your intended says "Yes" until the
           time the minister/JP/etc. says "I now pronounce you man & wife."
           The only thing that's mandatory is a marriage license.  Rings are
           completely up to what you want, what she expects, and what you can
           afford.  For some people, that means a diamond is required - for
           others a diamond engagement ring would be seen as a total insult
           (religious prohibitions against gaudy jewelry, rich guy rubbing in
            just how much more money he has over poorer fiancee, etc) or a
           waste of cash (someone who values eating over stupid shiny rocks
           for instance, or who would rather save those thousands of $$$ to
           spend on the wedding/honeymoon/new home).
        \_ For people who care, a typical guideline is 2 months salary for the
           engagement ring.  My wife and I didn't care though, and we both
           agreed we'd like to use the money in other ways.  I proposed earlier
           than I was planning somewhat spontaneously, and so didn't even have a
           ring.  We picked it out together.  And today (Jan 6) is our 4th
           wedding anniversary.  Yay!  -emarkp
           \_ Pre-tax salary or after-tax?
                \_ I was told three months pre-tax.
                   \_ That "guideline" comes straight from the diamond industry.
                      \_ Ask Partha about his love for de Beers.
        \_ Most people I know who got married recently spent about 6K on
           their engagement ring. That gets you a nice 1+ carat ring. -ax
                \_ My wife was happy with a nice $250 ring sans diamond.
                   \_ Yep.  Save the money and honeymoon in Europe.
                \_ Mine was happy with a ~$450 one with tiny diamond.
           \_ My friend went with her sister to go shop for her engagement
              ring. Then they called up the boyfriend and told him which
              $5k ring to get.
                \_ It's impossible for anyone with a conscience to support
                   de Beers.  It's ridiculous for anyone with a brain to
                   pay thousands of dollars for a rock.  -tom
                   \_  You are SO unromantic tom and most of me agrees with
                       you.  The other part explains that the WHOLE POINT is
                       to spend a shitload of money on something that is
                       essentially worthless as a romantic/symbolic token of
                       irrational Love.  (boy, now i'm more sure it's dumb)-tom
                   \_ the difficulty comes in communicating this to the woman
                      in question
                      \_ The greater difficulty comes in not strangling her
                         when she says she has lost it.
                         (yes, it's REALLY lost, permenantly)
                          \_ Oh no!  What are you some kind of GIRL? who gives
                             a fuck if she lost a hunk of metal and carbon?
                             You didn't lose any more money than you had
                             already lost by buying it.
                         \_ If you're going to spend a dumptruck full of
                            money on the ring, would it be so tough to get
                            it insured?
                            \_ Silly me, I thought it was wasteful to spend
                               $500 a year on insurance, when I could trust
                               my wife to look after things.
                               I'm cured of that now.
                               I also have a greater appreciation for HSN.
                                \_ You are an asshole.
                                   \_ I suggest that he is trolling.  If not
                    he is an idiot as well as an asshole.  He can't possibly
                    think that she (assuming, and i don't, that he actually has
                    a wife...) actually lost something worth X thousand $$.
                    She lost a rock that would never be worth anything except
                    as a symbol, which, if he were a decent human being it
                    could have been in spades.  Being decent about something
                    like that can earn you as many points as wasting your money
                    on the damn thing in the first place.  The money Was wasted
                    BEFORE she lost the thing, A husband in this position could
                    get TWICE what he paid for.
        \_ it doesn't matter. YOU'LL BE SORRY!!! (to the newly weds)

01/01   Galaxy Quest: GO SEE THIS MOVIE!  Best movie I've seen since Matrix
        and Men in Black before that.

                \_ American Beauty is definitely better than most of the

12/22   I know the motd is not normally a place to say anything remotely
        serious, but this seems pretty important to me.  There is a petition
        to legalize same sex marriage in California.  It needs signatures
        to get on the ballot.  They are asking people to download the
        signature form off the web and fill it out.  If you are registered to
        vote in California and feel same sex marriages are important please
        either visit the web site at http://www.samesexmarriage.org (.com is a
        straight porn site btw) or take a look at /tmp/csua/petition.pdf.
                                        -aspo
        \_ Windows RULES! Linux SUX! BAN Linux.
        \_ I'd feel my marriage was somehow something less if reduced to a
           mere legal contract so queers can feel good about being queer.  Go
           feel good some where else.  Not interested.
        \_ Won't move back to CA until you can marry your boyfriend?  That's
           pretty serious.  I'll be signing so we can get it on the ballot and
           vote it down and be done with it.
        \_ This last weekend, a man and woman came to my door taking a tally
           of people supporting a proposition in march to explicitly ban
           same-sex marriages in CA.  I don't know what was more disturbing,
           that they supported the ban, or that they had a printout of the
           names and addresses of all registered voters in my neighborhood.
                \_ Voter registration lists are public record and easily
                   obtained.  Candidates & parties use them all the time
                   to mail out flyers.
        \_ Since there's a petition to legalize between man & man and women &
           women, is there a petition to legalize marriages between brother &
           sister, uncle & niece, aunt & nephew, father & daughter, mother &
           son, and so on?
                       \_ Orthogonal, and no it is not.  It is a good and
           \_ I'm not sure aobut mother & son type marriages, but it is
              legal to marry your niece/nephew.  Get a clue.  And stop
              trolling.  -aspo
              \_ No it is not legal in this State to marry your niece/nephew.
                 Check out Family Code Section 2200 in
                 http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/calaw.html  My point is that why
                 should we accept one kind of biologically wrong marriage but
                 reject other kinds.
                 \_ and same sex marriage is biologically wrong how?  is
                    opposite sex marriage biologically wrong if they use
                    birth control?
                    \_ No, not nature-wise.  Opposite sex couples who take
                       pills are still biologically "right" (or "fit", or
                       "appropriate") for reproduction nature-wise.  They just
                       cognitively decide to disrupt nature.
                       \_ so marriage has to have something to do with the
                          possibility of reproduction even if the couple plans
                          to never have children?  should people who become
                          sterile non-"cognitively" be banned from marrying?
                          \_ No I didn't think that.  Rather, I agree with the
                             "Marriage is either simply a legal contract ...
                             or marriage is a special institution ..."
                             paragraph below that someone else wrote.
                             \_ What is "special" about it, such that the
                                State has a vested interest in promoting it?
                                I am personally offended that a special
                                interest group gives itself priviledges
                                that it denies a minority group simply
                                due to religious superstition. -ausman
                                \_ Either you think it's "special"; or you
                                   don't, in which case it appears that you
                                   would think we should accept marriage
                                   between any two individuals, including man
                                   and man, uncle and niece, and so on.
                                   & man, uncle & niece, bro & sis, and so on.
                 \_ well then, I stand corrected.  However you still should
                            \_ No, actually.  Orthogonal.
                    get a clue and stop trolling.  Oh and if it really matters
                    to you get your own petition started.  This issue is
                    orthogonal to the issue.  -aspo
                       \_ Disagreement is not trolling.  You've had your say
                          and other think you're wrong.  Tough shit.
                          \_ But trolling often takes the form of disagreement.
                       \_ Orthoganal, and no it is not.  It is a good and
                       relavent point.  Marriage is either simply a legal
                       contract, which should be enterable by any two
                       OR MORE adults, in which case this law doesn't go
                       far enough and simply heaps irrationality on
                       irrationality, or marriage is a special
                       institution designed to foster a particular
                       morality/behaviour by recognizing and to some
                       degree rewarding said behaviour, in which case
                        \_ Unfortunately, marriage is also associated with
                           the "right" to be parents in many peoples minds.
                           To truly fix the system, the state should declare
                           marriage a religious ceremony it no longer has
                           anything to do with, and make all people who want
                           the traditional marriage benefits sign a
                           domestic partnership contract (gets rid of the
                           whole pre-nup mess as well, since that would be
                           included in the contract).  Those who want to be
                           parents should be required to get a license,
                           everyone else given mandatory birth control.  Then
                           you've taken both religion & genetics out of the
                           picture, and prevented a whole lot of unwanted
                           pregnancies and children born to people who can't
                           or won't take care of them.
                       homosexual marriages don't fit the bill.

                   and had to put up with the social service system (which is
                   ridiculously biased against men) for that long, and has
                   a master's in clinical psychology to show for the statement
                   that he's capable of caring for the kid properly.

                      You're so completely clueless and dense.  There's a very
                      good reason they don't give children to unmarried men.
                      The only shock is that they let freakoid have one after
                      *any* number of years of trying.  Normal people who want
                      kids try out this thing called "marriage" and they "have
                      sex" and "procreate".  Try it sometime... or in your

                           hair on both her and her partners.  Most women
                           aren't having *that* much sex.  It's also a fetish
                           thing for folks who have a little girl fetish.
                             \_ wanting better pussy eating is unlikely?
                                \_ No, but most people aren't aware of this and
                                   aren't that kinky.  They'd be more likely
           party bs.  A lot of good looking women attend cal.  Just go
           to the IHouse or southside.
                                   to do it if they understood the effects.  Or
                                   maybe not if they understood they have to
                                   keep it smooth or it'll itch like hell.
                     \_ I've dated a couple of women with big tits and
                        a shaved puss who weren't doing photo spreads. They
                      they drop, at 14. I'm sure you've had a lot of
                      experience at that.
                        were all into sex.
                        \_ Yes.  Just like I said above.  It's an anti-friction
                           thing.
        \_ I've had better.  Ok but a bit saggy even for a 'big' girl.
           \_ Anything less saggy would be implants, I'd think.
                \_ You'd be incorrect.
                   \_ Thats right. you've got to get them before
                      they drop. [get them at ] 14.
                      \_ They don't drop at 14.  I've never illegally touched
                         a girl.  I've been with 14 year olds.
              \_ Actually what I wanted to say is "anything less saggy at her
                 age would be implants."  I've seen very full and firm ones on
                 some teenage girl that are real but look like implants.
        \_ I never realized girls like this attended Cal. I guess she's
              probably not an engineer, huh? --dim
              \_ She dropped out after the pictorial to do some sort of
                 modeling work in LA. And no she was not in engineering.
                 Pubic policy, if I remember correctly.
                 \_ She didn't go out with Buckingham, though.
                    \_ Actually, disturbingly enough, the claim he posted
                       on the newsgroup is correct; I know 3 people who
                       were witness to the event. And they were surprised
                       no less than the rest of us to hear it, too.
                        \_ You can hire a hooker to do almost anything.  What
                           would it cost to get a chick willing to show her
                           shaved cunt to the world to walk around the dorms
                           with you once or twice?  I figure about $5.00.
        \_ Sigh.  Why don't you ask csuaers who know brooke?  Ask your
           current treasurer, Twohey, or bensch.  Fuck vi and this 3rd
           party bs.  Take your own advice and consult the src.
           \_ okay, then another question for "the src",
              "HOW did he scam her into going out with him?"
                \_ $5.00.  Don't be naive.
                \_ Actually, it was pot.  Brooke used to be a sweet and
                   innocent little girl with "a boyfriend back home" and then
                   she became a stoner.  Yay pot culture.
                \_ Ok, so she's a stoner with bad taste in men.  And now she's
                   in LA working as a call girl.  I wouldn't brag about this
                   if it were me.  "Yeah, I dated this one stoner chick with
                   big tits who dropped out and now 'dates' a lot".
        \_ A lot of good looking women attend cal.  Just go to the IHouse
           or southside.
           \_ IHouse is all foreigners.  Southside is all drug addicts.
              \_ Fuck off elitist white boy.
        \_ At the time I was surprised at it. But today it comes as no
           wonder to me that after I stopped hanging with CSUAers socially
           not only did I start dating more, but I started dating attractive
           women. The women associated with the CSUA tend to contrast
           pretty significantly with the arrogant pricks the men tend to be.
           \_ I've been saying this to my friends who socialize in the CSUA
              for years but they're too afraid to join the real world.  There
              are some really great women out there.  Out there = not in the
              CSUA.  Just don't discuss the latest kernel patch on your first
              date and you'll be fine.
                \_ The right woman will be the one to bring up the latest
                   kernel patch in the first place
                   \_ Get some sun.  Not the workation kind.

        which i can buy posters of the pictures the hubble telescope has
        recorded.  some sweet shit for sure.  crazy beautiful constellations,
        nebulas, galaxies.  amazing.  Any Ideas?

        \_ You're not gonna find any images of constellations from hubble,
           fucknut, be they crazy or beautiful or whatever. I don't know
           hubble's visible angular diameter but it's pretty fuckin small.
           Of course, you could try to piece together collections of
           images taken under the same magnifications but why not just get
           yourself a cheap reflector on a dobsonian mount or something?
           They're like $300-400 for a 6' and they're pretty fuckin good.
           A lot cheaper than the >$2000 catadioptric fuckers.
           http://www.telescope.com has some made by Orion, I think.
           \_ Because the guy only wants a $15 poster that looks good on his
              dorm wall, not a $350 dust magnet?
              \_ actually, it's for a girl.
                \_ Same thing.  The only reason to put anything on your dorm
                   wall is to "look cool" (as if that's possible living in
                   the dorms) so you can get laid.  Somehow I doubt geeky

11/23   That's the problem with polygamy--all those rings get expensive!
        \_ I thought the problem was prison?
        \_ If rings and prison are your biggest problem with having multiple
           wives around, you're probably in luck...
           \_ I don't hate women, have a problem with women, or think poorly
              of women.  Legal issues are my only problem.  What's wrong with
              multiple women if they're happy with it?
              \_ contrariwise, what's the problem with only LEGALLY
                 marrying one? There's no law specifically against
                 "infidelity". There's just grounds for divorce.
                 \_ I want to marry them all.  They all want to marry me.  Who
                    are you to tell me I can legally have only one wife and the
                    rest must remain unacknowledged?  How can I possibly tell
                    the ones I don't marry that they'll just have to be my live
                    in girlfriends and should hope my "real wife" doesn't bust
                    us all for it?  How would you choose which one to marry?
                    The problem is nosy body clowns like you sticking your nose
                    into other's business.  Get out of my life and I'll stay
                    far away from yours.  The first thing I'll decide is you're
                    not allowed to masturbate anymore... not legally.  ahem.
                 \_ I thought there is, at least in CA, but they're just not
                    enforced.
                    \_ I think its probably a civil issue. Which menas
                       your wife woudl have to file it. Whereas for "bigamy"
                       (from the viewpoint of legal marriage)
                       I think the state can come after you reguardless
                       of what your wives think.
                 \_ This is precisely what polygamists do nowadays.  Only marry
                    one wife legally, and just live with the others.  It's a
                    difficult issue (there are reports of child abuse/young
                    marriages in such communities).
                     \_ As opposed to other communities where there are no
                        reports of Child abuse/young marriages?
                     \_ Get out of my life!  I don't want to "just live with
                        the others".  I have the God given right to marry who
                        I choose.

10/16   It seems that PacBell charges differently for business and home
        DSL. My company of 2 people (located in a rental office in Berkeley)
        would like connectivity via PacBell DSL. Can I just tell the PacBell
        people that we use it for home, and get charged less? Is that
        possible? Has anyone had any experience with this?

16OCT   anyone know what the STAR WAGGONS parked along bancroft
        were about on friday?  ==ahm.
        \-if a business is payingthe bill you probably cant opt for the
        home option. it is the same for phone lines. in theory i suppose
        there is a tax issue too should you or the business get audited.
        if the is a sole-proprietorship it might be hard to tell however.--psb
        \_ Similar question to the above... if I get DSL, will I still be
           qualified for Universal Lifeline Plan? It's really a $ saver.
           \_  D'you have the income qualifications for it?  Household
               yearly income less than $20k or so?  If you satisfy that
               it's perfectly fine to spend your money on DSL.  PacBell
               wouldn't care if you spent your money on drugs or cigarettes,
               would they?  So why would they mind if you got net?  --PeterM
                \_ Because addiction is considered a disability and they can be
                   sued for discriminating against someone based on their
                   disability.  They can not be sued for discriminating
                   against someone based on their bandwidth.  That's why.
           \_ see:  http://www.pacbell.com/products/residential/basic/dialtone/uni-life/features.html#qualify
           \_ If you're enough of a hotshot to pay for/have your company
              pay for DSL, what the fuck are you doing on the Universal
              Lifeline plan?  I'd rather the hidden charges inflating my
              phone bill go to subsidizing some poor person who actually
              *needs* that cheap access, not a "golly, it's really a $
              saver!" weenie brat like yourself.
                \_ Well, I'm just a poor student TRYING to startup a company
                        \_ Then you'll need to get someone to invest more money
                           in you instead of trying to abuse the system.
                \_ Whoa!  I actually totally agree with another motd poster
                   that isn't me.
                   \_ Thanks, man.  I try.  -- not you

           \_ Movies suck, man.  If the plot they describe in that article was
              concerned with being anywhere near true-to-life, the "straight-
              laced, anal retentive" engineering student would have a lonely
              four years of masturbation at home while watching his "happy-go-
              lucky spirit" friend date a series of increasingly larger
              assholes (while whining to the engineering student about what an
              asshole each guy was).  Then, at the end, instead of the two
              realizing they're the only people for each other, they'd fail to
              hook up, and the movie would end with the chick marrying the
              biggest asshole of all, and with the geek dying at 1 AM in his
              shiny-new-silicon-valley-job-after-graduation cramped cubicle
              from a heart attack brought on by overwork (and it takes a few
              days for anyone to notice the body -- he came in to work the

                   version would do as well in the movies.  I especially like
                   the part about dating bigger and bigger assholes and whining
                   to him about each one.  The problem?  Engineer boy didn't
                   treat his so-called friend the way she wanted to be treated.
                   She wanted him to treat her like crap, he never did, so she
                   dumped on him for four years and would have driven her new
                   mini-van to his funeral but she was busy and his parents,
                   (the only people who know he's dead), didn't know he even
                   knew a female during college, much less lived with one.  Dad
                   thought he was a poofster.  These parts were probably cut to
                   reduce the screen time to 92 minutes.

                        \_ I'm guessing he's talking about nice happy Hollywood
                           endings but may be completely wrong.  IANAL.  YMMV.
                         \_ I believe (but I'm not sowings) that it's
                            likening relationships to a little kid's desire
                            for Christmas morning to come . . . it'll be this
                            BIG GREAT THING, better than *ANYTHING* in the
                            WORLD -- and then when Christmas does come, it's
                            a disappointment, 'cause it wasn't so great.
                            So female holds a similar attitude towards snaring
                   third or fourth time he beats her up, she gets his home
                   number through information (since she didn't need to keep in
                   touch since she as 'happily' married now and didn't need him
                   to whine at), calls it and gets the "number is no longer in
                   service" message and says something about "he was just an
                   asshole anyway, like all men, and who needs him?  He was
                   never really there for me".
                            asshole guys (to the extent that she has blinders

                            our geek friend) -- and once she gets them, finds
                            out that it wasn't as great as she thought it'd
                            be.
                            \_ Ah yes.  That's more like it.  There's also
                               usually a touch of, "I can change him and make
                               him into a better person!" soon followed by,
                               "I hate all men, all men are evil" followed
                               by either an even bigger asshole or some
                               ridiculous lesbian experiment because "women
                               are evil like men are!"  HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH!!!

                stuff . . . "  Asshole husband: "Just relax and forget about

                   and didn't need him to whine at), calls it and gets the
                   "number is no longer in service" message and says
                   something about "he was just an asshole anyway, like all

6/17    Here's my dilemma.  When I resigned from my job last week, I
        cleared my desk, by accidently left behind a floppy with some
        random personal letters saved.  I asked a friend who works in the
        office to retrieve it for me.  He did, but my former boss chased
        him down and confiscated the floppy from him.  The floppy is not a
        big deal, but I am pissed about my boss's childish behavior.
        Short of going to the office and cursing her out, is there
        anything I can do?  The floppy is my own personal property.

                           need to understand more clearly in their daily
                           lives.  Thank you for raising the issue and providing
                           that opportunity even if you had only ill intentions.
                   answer to the original troll, however, it depends on what
                   kind of girl she is.  Some girls expect sex on the first
                   date.  Others, nothing before marriage.  What sort of slut
                   whores are you dating?
                        \_ In this country, it doesn't matter what the
                           circumstances are. If a woman says it was rape,
                           it was rape.
                           \_ No, only in bizarre places like Berkeley.  In
                              the rest of the world, some sort of actual
                              physical act is required.  Only in Berkeley are
                              you a rapist for asking for sex.  Of course
                              she'll think you're a faggot if you don't so
                              maybe you just shouldn't bother trying in this
                              city.  Other places I've been are far less fucked
                              up when it comes to sex and relationships.
       \_ WHOEVER DELETED MY POST ON THIS THREAD GETS IT RIGHT BACK
          IN YA FACE!
       \_ Summation of all deleted posts: there is NO "rightfully".
                \_ Fuck you.  Don't read the motd if other people's trolls
                   bother you, asshole.
       \_ I think the original poster misses an important point. If you
          do not have enough of a common vibe with the person you're dating
          to tell whether or not they want to have sex, you should probably
          wait until more intimacy develops.
          \_ There can't be any misunderstandings if you ask her first.
             Ask her when you think she'll say yes.
       \_ Neuter your sodan today, before it's too late!
                \_ someday, some sodan's kid is gonna get a soda account.
          \_ By definition, it's already too late.
       \_ It doesn't depend so much as which date, as how much money you
          spend on the dates.

                If a girl is giving you a blow job for the first time,
                should you pull out or not, if you dont know if she
                swallows?
                \_ uh, if she doesn't want to swallow, she'll pull it out
                   by herself.  she's in control in this situation unless
                   you've got her tied up and are just face fucking her.
                \_ Just break wind.  If she keeps going, she's sick enough
                   to swallow.
                        \_ why is it sick to swallow?
                           \_ It isn't.  It's just a weird American cultural
                              thing that cum swallowing women are more whorish
                              than those who don't.  I figure any woman
                              willing to suck cock in the first place
                              shouldn't be prudish about the final stages.

                  "she swallows" or not? Duh, it's up to her once she gets it

                           what she wants?  Are you supposed to warn her or
                           something?
                           \_ if those directly involved can't tell when
                              you're about to cum, i think there's something

4/27    So . . . say you meet that one woman who seems to be your ideal; you
        ask her out, she says yes, and you find she's even *MORE* ideal than
        you thought.  The date ends amicably; you both agree you should meet
        again next week, and that you'll call at a specified date/time to set
        things up.  Inbetween then, she E-mails you to say that after further
        thought, you're not right for one another, and wishes you well . . .
        is it socially acceptable and within the rules to make that *ONE*
        phone call to try and convince her otherwise, or is that operating
        from such a position of desperately transparent geeky neediness that
        the only gentlemanly thing to do is say "okay", fade away, and never
        be heard from again?
        \_ I'm almost 21 and haven't gone on a single date in my life. I
           guess that's what you get for being a CS nerd.
           \_ I'm almost 24 and haven't gone on a single date in my life
              (unless if you count the time my editor took me to lunch). I
              always though that once I graduated, I would have a lot more
              time on my hands for other stuff like dating. Unfortunately,
              coding for a living is more time consuming than coding for
              classes. Oh well, maybe when I retire and cash in my options
              I will find someone nice. Hope springs eternal.
        \_ You should follow your ONE TRUE LOVE around, and you should make
           sure she knows you're there.  This is to show her that you really
           care about her.  If she sees OTHER GUYS, it's not because she
           cares about them.  She is just TESTING you.  You have to demonstrate
           your LOVE by threatening both her and the other guys.  The woman
           is just looking for that kind of definite AFFIRMATION of your
           feelings.  Finally, after a few such threatening encounters, you
           should GRAB her and TIE HER DOWN in your room.  Then she will
           know that you are TRUELY COMMITTED, and she will be YOURS FOREVER.
        \_ sounds like she took some time to think about it before sending the
           e-mail.  i don't think she wants you calling her questioning her
           judgement, and she would have given more reason if she felt it
           prudent.  it might be that your opinion of the date was biased, and
           she didn't want to be rude to you in person.  i'd suggest sending
           her a mail saying "okay" and then offer that she can contact you
           any time if she just wants to be friends.  then forget all about
           her, and try not to feel sad or sorry for yourself.
        \_ If she's as ideal for you as you've described, go for it.
        \_ 1) Asking for this kind of advice on the MOTD is not wise.
           2) Who cares if she thinks you're desparately, transparently,
              geekily needy?  If she says no, you don't ever need to see
              her again.  If she says yes, woohoo!
        \_ I don't understand why you can't talk to her or visit her.
           It sounds as if one meeting was a marriage decision.
           If she honestly doesn't dislike you then you can at least
           associate with her, and maybe something will develop.  Why not?
        \_ really, you're an idiot for deciding so quickly that she's really
           the one for you after one date. no wonder she doesn't want to be
           near you. you freaked her out. you fucked up. learn. move on.
           \_ I second this response.  You're too inexperienced to make such
              a big decision based on one date.  Furthermore, you're asking
              for advice on the MOTD!  Jesus, you are really inexperienced.
              You have the rest of your life in front of you, don't make such
              big decisions based on a date or on any MOTD advice you get.
        \_ LJBF! LJBF!
          ( Subtle, desparate long-term torture plan )
        \_ This is the WRONG place for a question like this.  Do what you
           think is right.  Make sure you have no regrets, and make sure
           you're proud of yourself after whatever you do in the name of love.
           I'd call her and ask her why.  It is not a question of whether
           she is testing you, or if this is a game, it is about
           communication -- if she still turns you down, then you know it's
           the real thing. --female@soda
           \_ Why is it wrong to ask for advice in relationship matters on
              the motd? After all if you were having trouble in your relationship
              with your compiler or your computer, asking for help on the motd
              generates useful feedback. Anyway, since most of my friends read
              and post on the motd, asking here or in person would be the same.
              (Actually the motd is better since its anonymous).
              In this particular case I'm betting that the post was made on
              the motd, so that the female in question would read it and
              reconsider her decision.
        \_ You know, I bet a lot of these relationship questions that show
           up on the motd are purely hypothetical, posed for the entertainment
           value of the responses.

2/25    Let's vote for the most popular soda fetish. If you fetish is on the
        list, increment the counter. If not, add it. You may vote for
        several fetishes.               \_ muchandr

2/4     This is not a troll/flame bait... I'm just too embarrased to ask this
        in person. If Orthotricycline and other "pills" are 99.9% effective,
        does that mean it is 99.9% effective when you shoot "it" in,
        or 99.9% effective when you pull out?
                        \_ No.  Means, over a year, 0.1% of the couples using
                           this contraceptive will get pregnant.
                           \_ So it means over a period of say 30 years,
                              approx. 3% of the couples will get pregnant,
                              right?  I hope it can be lower.
                              \_ You want lower that that for the long
                                 of a time one of you should go under the
                                 knife.
                           \_ But shouldn't that percentage also depend on how
                              many times the average couple do it in one year?
                              What's the average number of times then?
        \_ Your asking for sex advice on soda?  pwahahaahah.
          \_ send all bug reports on the new linux kernel to http://www.playboy.com
           \_ You're ignorance is showing.
                        \_ Not as badly as YOUR ignorance of English.
                           \_ Your irony is lacking.
                           \_ Your stupid, you know that?
              \_  Oh I'm sorry.  I forgot that most sodans are geeks by day
                  and major studs by night.
                \_ Like from the movie, geeks only think about sex.
        \_ 99.9% effective when you come inside her. That is the great
        thing about oral contraceptives, you can come in her all you
        want, and she will not get pregnant. Of course, if you are like me,
           \_ ...so if you have sex 1000 times, on average she will get
                 pregnant once.
                        \_ No.  Means, over a year, 0.1% of the couples using
                           this contraceptive will get pregnant.
        and have been spoiled by women who use oral contraceptives,
        you can never go back to using condoms. Such is life.
           \_ So how do you convince your wife to switch to the pill? thanks
              \_ convince her that all those health warnings are lies,
                        \_ If you smoke, the pill kills.  Otherwise it's
                           \_ Um, the cigarette part of that combination
                              is sort of unhealthy as well.
                           a tossup if it kills more than abortions/childbirth
                           caused by not using the pill, and some women lowers
                           risk of cancer.
                           \_ It isn't a tossup.  The pill is by far the
                              safest way to have sex.  A failed condom which
                              causes a pregnancy which causes health problems
                              is more likely than similar health problems from
                              the pill.  The figures are available from
                              Planned Parenthood (and probably elsewhere).
                 and she didn't want children any time soon.
                 It can take months to wear off, and there are different
                 kinds of pills. Some may work well, while others might
                 have side effects.
                 Oh, and also convince her that she would LOVE to spend
                 an hour getting squick out of her insides.
                 \_ Ah yes, the angry tone of a woman who had sex with someone
                    she shouldn't have.  Obviously it was his fault that sex
                    is yucky and dangerous.  Men are evil, etc, etc.
        \_ and if yer a stud you'd pull out just like the porn stars do
            \_ Yeah and all the porn whores are on the pill.
        \_ so what is the .1% measuring?  yearly chance she becomes pregnnt
           anyway, or chance each time?
           \_ Yearly % as an average over some number of couples. --dim
           \_ the people who lie and say they used it right, when they didn't.
                \_ BINGO!  There is no proof whatsoever that the pill has
                   _ever_ failed a couple who actually _used_ it.  Using it
                   when she feels like it or remembers doesn't count.
                   Dropping the extra pills in the toilet or simply lying to
                   her dumb bf/husband b/c she wanted to stick him with a kid
                   doesn't count either.

2/1     Usually for two couples having a group wedding, how many bestmen are
        there?  It looks like I and a friend may get married on the same day
        and we both have the same bestman in mind.  Is it common to have
        only one bestman in a group wedding?
        \_ who cares?  do what you want.  -tom
           \_ tom needs to be sodomized
             \_ by yer mom.
           \_ I love reading tom's comments. Laughter is the best medicine.
        \_ in some cultures it is customary for the best man, if he is to be
           the same best man at both weddings, to father children with both
           maids of honor, as he has achieved the sole alpha male status.
           \_ You can't have a "group marraige" in California. The Christian
              lobby says marraige is "between one man and one woman."
              \_ Just Say No to government-sanctioned marriage
                \_ Marriage is a civil ceremony in this country.  Get real.
        \_ Group *wedding* not marriage.  Group weddings are pretty
           untraditional anyway, so you'd be breaking new ground.
           Definitely do what you want.  I personally think you should each
           have your own day, though.
        \_ You're going to _share_ your wedding?  Are you mad?  This has got
           to be the dumbest (ok, second dumbest) thing I've ever heard.  So
           you're saying this marriage doesn't mean anything more to you than
           a double date to McD's with fries on the side?
           \_ are the fries still dripping with hot grease?
           \_ The Moonies do it all the time.
                \-which side are you on? --psb
                        \_ Ours.  --Sun Myung Moon
                \_ Yup.  They do.  Thanks for making my point.

1/28    Five years ago I fell deeply in love, but when I got out of the army
        she was married. I bought a house across the bay from her, so I could
        see the green light out at the end of the dock behind her house
        every night. Recently I learned that her husband was having an
        affair. Fast forward to a few weeks ago, my love's cousin moved
        into the house next to me. I'm considering asking him to ask her
        to tea so we can see if we still have a relationship. What should I
        do?
        \_ Just Do It!
        \_ If you believe she still has feelings for you, go for it. But the
           most preferable method is to do it YERSELF, aka do not rely on
           her cousin. You get more brownie points this way.
        \- And remember you DON'T ask her out for relationship but to rekindle
           the long lost tie and to catch up. In another word, to let her know
           you're there for her and but don't confront her about relationship
           yet.
        \_ NOT a good idea. She's not a virgin anymore.
        \_ can we got some lady to comment on this, please?
           \_ Yeah.  Fitzgerald sucks.

1/18    Anybody know the exact procedure of getting married in CA?  I'm
        not sure how a marriage license, blood test, marriage certificate
        and all that stuff is tied together.  This is a civil marriage, BTW.
        \_ You don't need to get a blood test.  Just go down to the
           county courthouse, with ID and about $80, and get the
           license.  The license is good for something like 60 or 90
           days.  I don't know how to schedule a civil ceremony.
           \_ You need to see if you can be put on the schedule for the
              county ceremony. Check up with the County Clerk. The one
              in SF is done underneath the dome in SF City Hall, which
              is better than a windowless room in the basement.
        \_ "Civil marriage"?  What other kinds of marriages are there?  Thx.
           \_ Uncivil marriages, of course.
           \_ Church marriage ceremonies.  You still need the "civil
              marriage" part, which generally consists of doing all the paper-
              work, but when people refer to civil marriages, they mostly
              mean having a judge/notary/non-priest-type person perform
              the ceremony.  -John
           \_ Same sex marriage?
              \_ Not in this theocracy.
                 \_ Thank God.
                 \_ Thank God. (God is always there. You may think you have
                                gotten rid of Him, but that is just an
                                illusion)

        does vaginal tightning? I'm asking for my friend. Thanks.       -lila
        \_ Boy, you've got to be really brave to ask a question like that
           on the motd and then sign your name.
        - Well, that also shows how good of a friend lila is by risking
        making a fool of herslef to help a friend... this could also
        be a forged motd posting too you know..
        \_ anyone trying to forge as me should realise that i never use
           capital letters in such a forum.  i also know how to spell.  -lila

           that their cunt be more puckered? -(fucker)
            \_ it's all your fault, seano, don't you know.  -lila
        \_ You know, I've finally figured out what this whole lila vs. kchang
        thing reminds me of.  It's like an Ayn Rand novel, where the
        principals (for some Objectivist superhuman reason not immediately
        apparent to us mere mortals) spend their days doing everything in
        their power to completely destroy one another -- and then they spend
        their nights meeting in secret and having hot, raw, animalistic sex.
        I _think_ that's what's happening here, except lila isn't a famous
        journalist or a railroad mogul, and kchang isn't a hyper-
        intelligent scientist or architect.  (And what would Ayn Rand know
        about hot animal sex, anyway?  Judging from the picture on the back
        cover of her books, it doesn't look like she ever got any.)

11/23   If your boss shows you a picture of his daughter who's around your
        age, what is a polite thing to say? Serious now. Thanks.
        \_ DONT say "she's cute" or anything stupid like that.  Be an adult.
           "Oh, you must be very proud of her" is harmless.  "She's a total
           babe!  Can I fuck her?" is NOT a good thing to say.  A big giant
           "Sheesh!" for all the morons who said something like that below.
           They're either totally fucking clueless themselves or trying to
           get you fired.

           did, if you know what I mean.
        \_ Hey!  I haven't seen her since last months orgy at my frat house!
        \_ If you're "close", and she's a babe, say so. I mean,
             say she looks cute. Otherwise, say something vague, or dont
             say anything. Unless its a picture of her smoking a bong, if
             so, ask "hey man, were can I score some doobage like that?"
        \_ I agree.  Something like "she's cute" or "where does she go to
           school" is innocent enough.
           \_ unless she looks like she's in high school, in which
              case, do NOT try this :->

9/11  If I hear one more person on tv complaining about the explicitness
      (is that a word?) of the Referral, let's remind ourselves that it
      had to be that explicit to actually see if Clinton lied.  It was him
      that wanted a definition of sexual relations, so that he can twist
      it somehow to get away with saying "no."  It was him that
      lied to everybody, and tried to coverup for 7+ months.  Let's face

8/11    This is a question for a friend. Does academic probation show up
        anywhere on your records (especially transcript)? Can anyone
        (eg. companies) easily find out if you have been on AP or not?
        \_ Yes, it does, so if they have your transcript, yes, they can.
        \_ I don't think it does. However, the rotten grades that got you
           there will be so what's the difference? --dim
           \_ It does (like I just said in the response above, gee), trust
              me.  I was on AP for one semester, and the fact that I had
              entered/left AP was clearly noted on my official transcript,
              just below my grades for the semester -- Someone Who's Been There
              \_ I have seen the transcript of someone who was on AP (and
                 who also withdrew) and only the withdrawal was evident.
                 However, it was an "unofficial" transcript. Does that
                 matter? Also, like I said, the grades aren't going
                 anywhere so what difference does it make really? --dim
        \_ I think the actual quote is "Dismissed `date`" or something
           like that.
                \_ Most people on AP aren't dismissed - only the losers,
                   but AP shows up on your official UCB transcript either way.
        \_ YES! YES IT DOES! SHUT UP! IT SHOWS UP! ITS THERE! STOP! YES! YES!
           IS THAT PERFECTLY CLEAR NOW?!  YES BEING ON AP SHOWS ON YOUR
           OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT! NOW STOP IT!
           \_ So you are sure it shows up. I am confused.
           \_ No more coffee for this person.
        \_ Do companies actually want to see your transcript? I have never
           heard of such a thing, though some want your GPA.
           \_ I've been asked for my GPA.  Good sign you may not want to work
              there.
           \_ A couple big companies have asked for mine.
           \_ hell, i've seen some ask for SAT scores.
           \_ Apologies for the formatting below... -mogul
           \_ If they do, it's an indication that they don't have a clue what
              kind of person they are looking for.  GPA is not a measurement of
              success in the work place.
              \_ Im sorry, but there *is* a correlation.  It's not perfect,
                 but it is important enough to ask for.  I know there are
                 alot of "sucessful" programmers or whatever who flunked
                 out/dropped out of school, but as a first screen, you probably
                 want to know about grades.   I mean we are talking about
                 being a corporate stooge, so what do you expect them to
                 ask for : ``Only apply if you are a motivated self-starter?''
                 Oh, they do that too. Sorry.
                \_ Isn't the purpose of having an interview to find such
                   information about person.  I took an interview course and
                   it taught various techniques to find out certain quality
                   of a person.
                        \_ Oh. I thought the purpose to check out that chick.
                \_ Yes, you're sorry.  Why bother interviewing if they're only
                   collecting information you could have emailed or told a
                   secretary over the phone?  There is no correlation.  GPA is
                   not important.  As a first screen, you'll miss out on the
                   true talent who spent their time in front of a computer
                   instead of kissing BH's fat ass, eating potstickers.  There
                   _is_ a direct correlation between ass kissing, potsticker
                   eating and your GPA, but this says absolutely nothing about
                   your potential contribution to an employer.

a company i sent mail to replied wanting the answers to two questions:
"what are you doing now? graduated? vacation?" and the kicker -
"what was your GPA?"

i have half a mind to reply only with "it's 3.2, but we have a saying
in computer science here at cal: 'if they want to know your GPA, you
don't want to work for them.'"

        \_ Since you obviously don't want to work for them, you might as well.

                   to get impeached so I can stop hearing about her.
        \_ ...and the next White House intern
        \_ I'd like to see bill clinton fuck chelsea AND her girlfriend.
           a threesome full of incest and very very hot sex.
           \_ Personally, I wouldn't wanna witness ANY of them having sex
              with anyone *shudder*
                \_ Agreed.  This is the meaning of fear.

           went to Cal?
           \_ The Hate Man
           \_ The guy isn't fucking Chelsea because he likes her.  Just like
              at the Farm, some Cal Pretty Boy would have come up with the
              bright idea that hangin' with the Prez' butt ugly daughter could
              get him somewhere in life.  If Daddy wasn't the Prez, he
              wouldn't be on the same planet as her if he could help it.
              \_ read the article.  I'd be very surprised if there is any
                fucking going on anywhere.  Oh, maybe she has jerked him
                off a couple of times, but I bet she hasn't come with that
                guy yet.
                \_ Would the secret service even allow this??? Imagine the
                   SS sleeping in the next dorm room, and they hear cries from
                   Chelsea. Of course, they have a shoot first, ask later
                   mentality, so they kill the kid on top of her.
                \_ I'll read it but you seriously think some random article
                   will give you honest details about her relationship?
              \_ My, my, but aren't you the cynic.
                 Maybe he just has a fetish for ugly white chicks.
                 \_ Hahahhaha... I stand (possibly) corrected.  I still

4/16    I am a 21-year-old gay virgin, and I will be in the closet till
        God knows when. I masturbate to wrestling tapes--it's like my
        brand of porn. The winner does nothing for me. The loser becomes my
        fantasy. It's a huge turn-on to watch a guy in trunks get pinned.
        I like to look at the expression on his face once he's pinned; his
        embarrassment in front of other people and his family is another part
        of the turn-on for me. Something about a guy submitting and laying
        on the mat for the count of three is so arousing that I have to
        jerk off. What does this fetish mean?

           \_ Yep.  Stop dating cold women.  Don't choose your dates based on
              bra size.  Don't date some slut whore who had more sex partners
              in the last 6 months than you have fingers n toes.

           you weak and gives her ammunition to think of all men as pathetic
           brainless trolls.  Being truthful with a woman is hard the first
           time (it brought both of us to tears) but
           she hasn't called since and I haven't regretted my bluntness.
           \_ Just do what all those "goodhearted" soda boys do.  Start living

        \_ Aw, you shouldn't have deleted it. 'Sides, I was going to flame
           the guy for fantasizing about a 5'4", 100lb girl. Get a clue,
           a girl that tall and that thin is probably SICK!

           \_ Sorry but it was just far too fucking stupid.

              \_ Besides, who'd want to hug some ol bag of bones!
              Smart women are ever so much more interesting...
              \_ Since when does being thin or even deathly anorexic make a
                 woman stupid?  Anorexia is a mental illness unrelated to
                 intelligence and thin is sexy.  Where does brainpower come
                 in to this?  If you want to be "interesting" you can be
                 much more interesting if you're an attractive smart woman
                 than a fat smart woman.  Fat women aren't as good in bed
                 either.  I imagine a fat chick is something like having
                 sex with Jabba the Hut.  Now *there's* an attractive and
                 interesting image.
                        \_ You state they aren't as good in bed, then say
                           it's just what you imagine - do you know for sure
                           or are you just pulling crap outta yer ass?

                             never had sex with Jabba the Hut.  I've had sex
                             with fat chicks.  Learned English lately?
              \_ Or how does being fat make a woman smart?
                        \_ It doesn't, but unless you're Kate Moss and
                           making millions off it, being too skinny/anorexic
                           is not a sign of high intelligence.
                           \_ I never said it was.  I was countering the claim
                              that thinness is a sign of the lack thereof or
                              that fatness is a sign of the existence of high
                              intelligence.  Back to RC1a again.
              \_ Besides, who'd want to hug some bony skeleton?
                 \_ Obviously you never hugged anyone.  A hug isn't
                    about physical satisfaction, it's emotional sharing
                    through physical contact.  It isn't about the size of
                    any of your parts.
                    \_ Shut up, tawei.
                        \_ Not tawei.  Don't make lame guesses/accusations
                           since you're clearly blinded by the rolls of fat
                           flowing from your bloated sweat dripping forehead

                friendship, which is not the right sentiment for
                a date.  do _not_ buy a red rose, because it means
                passionate love, which is premature on a first date.
                do _not_ buy a teddy bear, because that's really corny.
                do _not_ go to a formal restaurant for dinner on a first date,
                because that's too tense.  save the gifts and formal
                stuph for later, when real feelings have had time to
                develop.  if you must bring a gift, make sure it's

           make her feel less "under pressure."  And I'd go for the pink
           rose - pink means "attraction" (less direct than the red rose).
        \_ Dewd/dewdette don't worry about it. Just be yourself and enjoy
           the date.

Male Beauty To Hellenistically Bathe And Pose For My Watercolor

Nebulous Tabula Rosa

Soft, large eyed, tall, slender yet curvaceous, athletic, healthy,
small breasted, sensual, pretty SWF 30, with lengthy, strong,
playfully affectionate legs seeks educated 20-29 healthy,
emotionally sound, clean, shy, drug free nonsmoking, 6ft+, strong
SWM with a flawless and fair complexion, short hair,
and a *kind* heart to share private sensitivities with while
bathing him, posing for her watercolor and exchanging love, kisses and
monogamous prospectives.   Too, you should be a man that would enjoy
having your feet massaged and bathed as well as the rest of your physic.

No sexually transmitted diseases, mean men or men who seek a mother figure.
I want to love a man and be loved by a man that can cry and laugh with me.
A shy man appeals to me and I prefer a virgin or one that has not had
many lovers.

Please do not call me if you have a girl friend and are looking for a casual
interaction because she does not fulfill your desires.  I am not
casual and I do not find interacting with a man who functions on a
physical level alone to be interesting.  Please do not call me if you
are an avid TV watcher or sports fan.  I do not like loud crowds,
TV sounds and sport event atmospheres.  I do not want to fall in
love with a man who has his 'team'.   Please do not call me if you
have a 'team'.  Men who have a team can not live spontaneously.

If you are a beautiful man, as the one I describe in mind and body, and
seek what I offer, please call me.  I will not read any e-mail.  Do not
call me unless you are happy with your physic and have an honest mind that
enjoys tenderness and avoids pain.

I enjoy country sides, picnics, opera, theater, dancing, the symphony and
I want to share love with a man who will bring me Godiva chocolates and
blue and pink flowers whenever he comes to visit.  And I enjoy adventure
and having a comfortable home is important to me.  It is nice to have a
wonderful place to return should the adventure be cumbersome.

I am a writer and are quite busy.  I work for the airlines which has
allowed me to experience the more beautiful parts of the world such
as Tahiti, which is my favorite.   I enjoy the delicate life style that
the islands offer in their sounds, scent and temperature.  I prefer
gentle atmospheres to extreme ones although Alaska in the winter is
one of my favorite places given its penetrating silence and northern
lights.

I think that a wonderful way to begin a relationship with another, should
attraction be present, is to bathe one another.  This intimacy may take
time to transpire however.   In depth discussions and interacting in various
environments may first be necessary before such a trust could be
considered.   I am uncomfortable with a fast pace and fast men.

Being bathed is a delicate and intimate way to get to know another while
building trust and understanding.   I would wash your hair and with steamy
water, soothe your mind and your beautiful body, treating you with
my finest love and tenderness.  I could not be cruel or forceful.
And at any time you are free to change your mind and I will not put up a fuss.
If we are mutually attracted to one another I would enjoy beginning a
relationship with you this way.  I prefer a shy man and I do not like a
man who is arrogant.  I feel more comfortable with a shy man.

Please, no mean messages from men playing mind games or from angry
women telling me that I am a bad woman.   Or from unconscious people
who think being well groomed implies superficial character.

Whenever I make postings of any type I tend to get some e-mail messages
from people yelling at me so I have decided not to read my e-mail
unless it is from someone that I know.  Also, given the simplicity
in forging mail, I do not find mail to be an appropriate or discreet
way of meeting such a man or of making correspondences with those that
I do not know.

This is not a joke.  Please call me only if you
ARE THE MAN I DESCRIBE and are interested in learning
about who I am and want to be loved and love.  PLEASE DO NOT CALL ME
IF YOU ARE NOT WHAT I DESCRIBE.

I want to bathe and paint a healthy man who takes care
of his body, respects it and protects its vulnerabilities.
If you are a world traveler and you do not take the
precautions that are necessary then do not contact me.  I
am not interested in a man that lives as an action figure
because I then will not feel that I can trust my body with
him.  I will not trust myself with a man who has not cared for
his own body and mind.   A man is simply human and I will only share my
love and affections with one that enjoys celebrating his humanity; he
carefully seeks out his limits and works within
them, not outside of them to where he then ages prematurely.  It is not
possible for two to share in a healthy relationship if either person
is lacking in health or does not enjoy what it is to be human.

The morning is a beautiful time for lovers, lovers who are healthy.  If
you drink coffee I am not interested in you as coffee drinkers have poor
breath and taste poor, particularly come morning time which is my
favorite time for love making.  Also, do not call me.  I want the sound
of soft breath moving in and out.  That sound contents me.  Snore sounds
agitate me.  A shy, sleepy man is so very sexy in the morning hours, my
favorite time of day as long as it is taken slow and easy, instinctually.

I do not have children and I am not interested in a man seeking a woman
simply for the reason of having his.  I am seeking love with a man who
needs a mate to enjoy life with.  I am happy and I want to share that
however I am not interested in rushing through things.  Commitments take
time and serious thought..

If you are serious about taking part in a sensual relationship with me
please do not e-mail me but call me on the telephone at 415 921 7399.
But only if you fit the description.   Any e-mail I receive with respect
to this posting I do not read.

Please do not call me if you are not what I describe.  I have taken
time to write this because I am looking for a SPECIFIC man, not any man.  If
you have now forgot the type of man I seek, and want to call, please reread
this letter before calling.  Call me only if you fit the description.  I am
seeking a very beautiful man in mind and body that cares for himself well.

The ritual of Hellenistically bathing a man is a healing, sensual
expression of love and intimacy towards him.  Sound is important.  Taste,
temperature, texture and lighting.

A man once called me and went on about how he Jacuzzi hops.  That is not
the experience I am interested in creating.   The sounds are small.  The
trickles of water squeezed from a cloth soaked in hot water gently tracing
down your spine.  Tracing my finger tips with an oil aside the moisture.
The lighting is soft.  Afore my fire place in my Penthouse where I keep
my rustic ceramic tub, big enough to hold your feet where I first tend
to them before discovering the rest.  In that I would bathe you as you
stood.  The warmth from the fire and the steamy water I attentively kept
your feet covered with will warm you.

Once your feet were properly cared for, bathed, clipped and massaged, I
then would brush your hair lightly, dampen it with my fingers and wash
it for you.  Perhaps then you might tell me your stories about things
that you've done, your dreams and hopes.

Trickles of soothing warm water crossing your body.

Thank you,

Euphrasia
