    I know who you are, but who's your avatar?

     

     

    Looks more like a younger Humphrey Bogart.

     

     

    I think Christian was joking.

     

    And I feel as though I'm becoming the Post-Crisis Captain Obvious.

    Step aside son, the original is still alive and kickin'.

     

    Akhira: Charlie's avatar is a manga/anime version of Philip Marlowe.

    Not only is Favre back, but he's been quoted as saying that this year's Packers team is the "most talented" he's seen.

     

    Their new rallying cry is:

    "3-13, here we come!"

    Without Big Ben, the Steelers are dead.

    They are not "without" Ben Roethlisberger.

    Check it.

     

    Also, everyone outside of Dallas knows that the Cowboys suck donkey balls for a living.

    Gentlemen, ask women anything.

    Male citizens, I was summoned by the ages-old questions

    "Why do nice guys finish last?"

    and

    "Why are chicks only attracted to jerks?"

    and

    "If she thinks I'm so nice/great, why won't she sleep with me?"

     

     

    First, let me kindly point out that most women know if they'll sleep with a man within 5 minutes of meeting him. There are obvious exceptions to this, but this holds true for most women in most situations.

     

    Secondly, some women are more likely to be attracted to "jerks" because they are extroverts that have no trouble letting a woman know they're interested. People like attention, especially women. They like confidence in men, it makes them feel secure. And an "edge" is a bonus, it is often (perhaps falsely) associated with being exciting, adventurous, arousing, etc.

    Sensitive/nice guys tend to be perceived as non-threatening, harmless, boring, lacking in confidence, and incapable of providing a sense of security, that everything will be alright forever.

     

    Fellas, think of all the times an attractive woman has hit on you and compare that to all the times you have wanted (or hopefully, did) hit on an attractive woman.

    The simple fact in Western Society is that the man is the one who has to make the first move the vast majority of the time (in traditional heterosexual encounters).

     

    Put another way: "Less talk, more action."

     

    If you're having trouble breaking the ice with a lady and you happen to be at a bar, club or anywhere serving drinks, ask her "can I buy you a drink or do you just want the money?"

    It never fails to at least provide an opening (Rogan, lay off that one).

    It also helps paint you as a man with a sense of humor, which is #2 on most women's lists of important qualities a man should have.

    Roughly:

    1) Confidence

    2) Sense of Humor

    3) Looks

    4) $ or good career

    5) You are friends with Inca

     

    Join me next week when we tackle "The Other Woman" and "Did she really just give me The Clap?"

    When did?

    Good point, Charlie. And not to beat a dead horse, but I think the standardization of spelling, at least in English but probably in most alphabetic languages, is quite recent, perhaps duriing only the last 200-300 years.

    [Captain Obvious]The publication of dictionaries was the main reason for the standardization of spelling, so we're actually talking the 18th rather than the 19th century. This is also the main reason inc's argument about txt spk and similar bollocks representaing part of the ongoing evolotion of English or any other language doesn't really stand up: with the exception of French (which is thanks to the heavy handed rule of the Acadamie Francais arguably a dead language) the voculabary and its form is defined primarily by dictionaries. This is the source of the only real differences between American and United Kingdom English, for instance.

    Txt spk, on the other hand, is down to sms messages having a rather harsh character limit in a lot of phones, and so is hopefully a passing hideous aberration rather than anything more significant than laziness or idiocy if used in any other context.[/Captain Obvious]

    Imposter!

    Ah... this is the thread where everyone criticizes that John Byrne guy, isn't it? But why is it here? Why hasn't anyone made a new thread actually titled something like "John Byrne"?

    Read the first page of this thread.

     

    Longer answer: The title of this thread is taken from the "Rules Guidelines" at Byrne's site.

    The end:

    "Kinki + Tom have neat writing, though.

    Bxx"

    Why should it be obvious to someone who is a)new and doesn't know my name and b) I've never pmd so doesn't know I always sign as Bxx (Beki kiss kiss)? AHA! :tongue:

    The Captain has entertained your argument and has decided to rule against you.

    Case closed.
