Re: Bad Omen

Except it's still up. It's not the bitterness that's going to be a problem; it's the lying.

Omens are thin on the ground in my faithless life, but this happened to me recently:

I had to fly on short notice about two weeks ago. Cheapest fare was from JFK, so I took the A-train from Penn station. 2 miles from the airport, the train stopped because someone had used that train as a means for suicide. I was sitting in the front car and went from hearing the thump to scrambling for ground transport to catch my plane. I got on the plane, and during bumpy takeoff, a piece of the airplane's interior trim fell off.

I don't usually clap on landing, but on that flight, I did.

"no choice"?

He has at least two choices, the blog or the woman. I guess he wasn't planning to make blogging his life's work.

Blogs before snogs!

He has an Oggedian notion of best backsides evar.

The site - as it looks now, I don't know if it looked different before the guy supposedly took it down - appears to be about extolling the physical virtues of supermodels. This does strike me as an odd hobby. I don't think I'd care for it if my husband put that much time and effort into it.

I just saw a link to the front page, I didn't click around like you pervs. For someone who looks at pictures of models all day, he doesn't seem to be very familiar with the effects of retouching.

Also, Ogged's involved now, but I think one of our Bay Area posters should take a flyer on this woman:

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/w4m/612178826.html

It would make for some great posts.

Damn, she gets some interesting replies. Women's replies to CL personals (yes, I'll admit it) are both sparse and boring. Fewer illiterate perverts, though.

The sentence does the work required of it. If you lot would allow yourselves the occasional graven image, you wouldn't require so much more of your sentences.

19: OK, I take it back about the witty replies. Still, I loved this one:

As you can see from my resume, I've been a lot of peoples bitches. There's room for you

I'm definitely using that as the opening line to my cover letter next time I apply for a job.

Thesis: A woman can say just about anything in an "F Seeking M" ad, and still get replies.

Come on, this thread deserves more posts!

It's like we're not even interested in romance any more unless it involves buying and selling sex. This is how prostitution degrades us all.

Dead thread bleg!

What is the most user-friendly direct connect hub software? In my poking around, YnHub seems the best; is this the case?

Also, how memory-intensive is running, say, a 500-1000 person hub?
