  1. In 2029 she'll be 42 (at least the actress will), then she'll be doubly right.
  2. Traditional would mean it was folded in pleats, made of wool, in a tartan. His was definitely modern meaning sewn in pleats, made of cotton, and a solid color. Plus the design is more modern and not traditional. What you're thinking of is "regimental" aka, "going commando". It's called regimental because the Scottish army recommended going sans underwear in order to cut supply costs, laundry costs, packing weight, dressing time, et. al. I do not know if the Scottish army still recommends this practice, but the Scottish Tartans Authority (the de facto organization about all things kilts) has actually condemned this practice, stating that "'going comando' flies in the face of decency and is childish and unhygenic." Director Brian Wilton stated, "The idea that you are not a real Scot unless you are bare under your kilt should be thrown into the same wastepaper basket as the idea that you're not a real Scot unless you put salt on your porridge. People should not be browbeaten into believing that nonsense. Just because Highlanders wore nothing in the days before Y-fronts were invented doesn't mean that we, in the 21st Century, should wear nothing too. Sending children up chimneys is traditional too, but we don't do it now and the same should apply to wearing nothing under a kilt. Common sense and decency suggest that for the majority of occasions one should wear under the kilt what one would wear under a pair of trousers." Also from the same article, "Kilt maker Slanj, which has provided Highland dress for Billy Connolly and Ewan McGregor, insisted last year that underwear must be worn with hire kilts. The firm, which also made a kilt for self-confessed true Scotsman Sir Sean Connery, said some kilts had been returned in such a dirty state that they were too unhygienic for staff to handle."

  3. Sale not a sale at all? Borders actually raising prices? No wonder they are going out of business with deceitful practices like this. Full Article Here
  4. It was a joy and an honor to meet him. I feel blessed that I got to witness his amazing performance at the Dickinson tribute and happy I had the chance to talk to him (and buy him a Newcastle) at his covers show.
  5. Nope, didn't miss you at all. With you gone I can hoard all the redheads. Or is that, whored all the redheads? Seriously, I was wondering where you disappeared to and when you'd be back.
  6. I'll send you some info when I get back in town and have more time.
  7. Ah, that does make a lot more sense than the way I first interpreted it. I see your point.
  8. For me I think this sketch works because they're gay. With any other population group, it would fall flat. But the stereotype of gay guys is that they accessorize their outfits, coordinate shoes, are stylish, etc, and therefore accessories themselves. Why hoard shoes and handbags when you can hoard gays who have better shoes and handbags than you do anyway? This sketch lampoons that stereotype and for me personally, I find that amusing. Then again I'm irreverent and lampoon everything. Perhaps if instead of Tori Spelling the main character were instead Buddy Cole, then I think the sketch would work better. Sort of like how only a Jew can tell Jew jokes, then only a gay can be successful with gay humor.
  9. Mmm ... shorts so short that if they were any shorter they'd be belts.
  10. Really? 'Cuz I think hoarding Jews, you know, stuffing them all into a tight dark room (oh, say, a shower), well I wouldn't find that the least bit amusing at all.
  11. There is. In the bottom right corner of each post is a + and a number. Most posts say "+0" but if you click on that +, it'll have a green "+1". If somebody else clicks it, it'll be "+2". Etc.
  12. I found it hilarious and thought it very supportive of gays. The metaphor I took away from it was Tori Spelling can't be the only person in the world to love gays and support gay culture. This tolerance needs to spread to other people and eventually the whole world needs to embrace gays.
  13. I'm with TA on this one. Heat, humidity ... love them both. I could live in a rainforest (if it wasn't for the rain).
  14. It's one of my favorite shows. My wife and I are all caught up on Netflix, just waiting for the next season to become available.
  15. On a scale of 1-5, how much do I love my wife?
  16. And I think somebody else posted an article or something about how anti-conformity is worse than conformity.
  17. Didn't Phee once start a topic all about disagreeing with everyone? I couldn't find it.
  18. It's a trap, you heard me dude; We can't repel force of that magnitude! Go team rebels! Yay!
  19. I probably wouldn't notice until the day after when I changed back. lol
