Ironically, after the grand discussion on the Marriage thread, last night I found out that an old buddy of mine walked on his wife and kids a few weeks ago. Seems he met the 'other person' on the slopes. He hasn't had the balls to call and tell me. I ain't gonna say anymore about it, but I'm pissed.

Uncharacteristically uncompassionate.

that's awful. let's invade nigeria and straighten this muslim court situation out.

whooops, lummox beat me to it.

...a thread about where bands jump the shark...

actually I have viking roots

I was talking to each of you who got my message! And you too Iain, who responded with the zztop version of "look---cows!"

several of you have only further reserved your seating in Hell here...

how do ya pronounce this erik?

a product of the Peace Corps, no doubt. You know their old credo, "if we can't teach it to them, we'll breed it into 'em!"

Everytime I look at "who's online" I see his name there, checking PMs, who's online, etc. But he never posts. I'm picturing this ghost-ship pc, screen flickering, no one at the helm...

gee, oops

I always fight a compulsive desire to turn the altimeter field on my suunto while above 29,999...

Recently I was on a flight where a middle-aged woman received a call just after takeoff. Instead of turning the thing off, she took the call! I reached across the aisle and tapped her shoulder and asked her to turn it off. She frowned at me and turned away and continued to talk. Other people around her were clearly annoyed but did nothing. Finally I told her in a deep voice to turn the Goddamn phone off Now, which she responded to. We must've gotten to 5-6,000 feet by then.

I can think of a couple of buddies' moms that would've made wonderful b-day stippers when I was a kid.

I thought j_b was a girl.

All right, who's the smart-ass?! Put it back...better yet, I'll settle for "Blade."

Being called a gay blade for a week would be a fair price for a night with Lauren Hutton (hmmm...how old is she now though?)

swordsman coxwain cutter (TX cattlemen's lingo) etc.

eater not a sleeper

not quite that burly...and I don't have any shoes like that. I was thinking it might actually be mikeadam...

Fairweather put it better than I did, T_G. I realize that everybody's got their own, valid views on this subject. And I seriously doubt whether any of us will be influenced by others on it! I used to say I skipped my first marriage, 'cause I waited until 30 to get married. Just didn't meet "the right one" until then, and enjoyed years of being a bit of a swordsman. Reasons I would not want to go back to being single: -I'd miss 'er!! -dry spells suck , no matter how good the other times are -I enjoy women, period, and would eventually want to spend most of my time with somebody I liked. I've never met anyone that I've liked as much as her -sure, we've both changed in 15 years, but we share a core interest in several basic things That being said, everything could turn to shit tomorrow, as people here have noted happens a lot. Therefore it is worth a little bit of constant investment in doing the things that you know will keep your spouse satisfied/comfortable with you and what you do.

I think the one standing is Allison, teaching ChrisT about proper hand placement.
