3 - unless she would describe you to people later as "jihad-ready", you failed.

I hate you.
Just for clarification, 1. (So lucky not be working in sweatshops) and 3. (New hot blonde in bikini) are not the same person?
Not the same person. 1 is the same old(er) lady who squees me out by telling me that she "wants my speed," wants to "swim like me when she grows up," and that I'm "her hero." God, maybe I really should move away.
so re:3, what's the next move now that you've totally driven her away? figure out her email address and ask her out?
the same old(er) lady who squees me out
You should totally hit that.
I was wearing my alt.possessive.its.has.no.apostrophe t-shirt (which I must have had for nearly eight years now) on the drive down on Sunday and stopped at the Atascadero In'n'Out, where the young, cute cashier visibly checked it, if not me, out and seemed even to wink before asking me if I were an English major or something. I did what anyone would do: sneered scornfully at her, said "no", and walked out without paying, eventually eating lunch elsewhere.
Ogged is getting squeezed out of an older woman.
When did Ogged drive her away? Sounded like he did the "dark, mysterious, and aloof" bit perfectly.
3. I did you guys proud: the new hot blonde in the bikini was totally chatting me up, but I made like I didn't notice and answered all her questions dispassionately and with just enough detail to be boring.
Way to be Steve.
Just went swimming, didn't have to talk to anybody.
Sweet!
Ogged, if you drown woman #1, I will risk jail time to provide you with an alibi.
The usenet newsgroup with the most excellent name. I swear that site vanished off the face of the earth for a few years.
8: In figuring out where Atascadero is, I discovered Cali has "State Vehicular Recreation Areas." That's a hell of a civilization you guys got out there.
14: Don't trust FL, ogged! He's just trying to get with the lady friend in #3!
Why should only privately-owned vehicles get to recreate, mike?

So hot women find it safe to talk with you? They can relax around you, knowing that they won't get hit on.
The In-and-Out Burger is on Camrose
6000 San Anselmo Road, right off the royal road.
8: that shirt sounds great. I should get one and wear it inside-out over my head.
SVRAs are awesome. Tyler Cowen recently said that "Almost certainly, Pennsylvania is better than your state." The "almost" is because of California.
Ogged, you spoiled brat, you should be counting your privileges EVERY MINUTE you are alive. You owe the annoying older woman an apology.
Dating a hot woman is awful. You'd just end up feeling so jealous and possessive that you would never want to take her out in public, lest another man notice her breasts, which I assume you would call "pert."
Sometimes you eat the bar, and sometimes, well, he eats you
And Richard Jewell died.
26: Yeah, that was always murder for the guys I dated.
Don't bore the hot woman, ogged. She can have any persian she wants.
...he said, weeping uncontrollably.
32: Yeah, that was always murder for the guys I dated.
26: Is English your mother tongue? I think "awesome" is the word you're looking for. Restaurant hostesses checking you out with new respect, chefs bringing extra desserts to your table, museum flunkies letting you past the "staff only" signs outside new exhibits, teenagers making way for you like you're the Pope, etc., etc.
32 I suppose in this, as in all things, we should bow to your vast resevoir of experience.
Adam tries to bring you truth and you pay him with scorn.
I frequently see the Pope's path obstructed by insolent teenagers, refusing to make way.
That's why they installed the splatter-proof windows on the pope-mobile.

If a colleague of the opposite sex writes, "I like you, you make me laugh," how are we to interpret this?
43: This is a boring answer, but... "in context." Could just mean you have a great sense of humor such that it is pleasant to work with you. Could mean you make said colleagues heart sing and loins throb. My guess is that the comment would not have given you pause, though, absent some sort of other signals/vibe. Laugh just a little too loud? Stand just a little too close? Stare just a little too long?
43: "I like you, you make me laugh."
If it were Bonnie Raitt, one would know what to think. Yeah, I believe there's a reason to ask.
God, Slol, don't be so conceited. She probably just means you dress funny.
B took the words out of my mouth. She's laughing at your waist restraint.
With a few more details, we could [provide more presumptuous insight/derive more entertainment value].
Geez, what kind of square-ass outfits do you guys work at?
(and yet, if somebody got fired, I would feel really bad)
NSFW, kids! Careful! Dongs!
NSFW, kids! Careful! Dongs!
Just the one, really.
Funny thing--my emails to them keep bouncing.
When asked for comment, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said only that he had found B's emails "uncongenial".
You'd think they'd *welcome* good advice about how to run the world. Ingrates.
The member states just haven't been standing up lately, B. You need to rouse them with your... oratory.
Nice implication. I'm slutty, but I'm not going to sleep with everyone in the *world*. If they can't listen to me without extra incentivizing, they'll just have to suffer.
incentivizing
Gah, no wonder they won't listen.
Implication?!? You wound me. I'm on the up and up, here, not trying to make you swallow some cock and... and... whatever it is.
God, I feel like a 3rd rate playboy cartoonist. May I lay off with the double entendres, please?
lay off
Oh, DAMN.
She's laughing at your waist restraint.
You too hastily assume the comment in question was directed to your humbly cummerbunded correspondent, when in fact it went to a rather more conventionally attired gent.
66: Oh. It was just a "friend" of yours, hmm?
B doesn't have friends, she has conquests.

That's a remarkably casual and disrespectful way of referring to your mother. And the correct spelling, incidentally, is "squeezed".
43: Hey, I missed that. Yeah, that would set off my "Time to chat lightly, where appropriate, about my delightfully happy marriage," radar.
72: A strategy unlikely to be effective, of course, if slol's friend is single/unhappily married and the colleague knows it.
