Discussion of Firms and Life in SF/SV

I'm suspending all mean jokes about Fresno for two months as a result of this. {Spree: Sappy story about Special Ed kid who makes good in HS b-ball game; now moving on to achieve dream of becoming a sports analyst.}

Great story! I'm sure TM or someone similar will be along with a bigoted joke before too long, though.

That's just mean! Sports analysts are people too!

What should his persona be there? i think Spanky is this genuine sincere and nice young man. I'm not sure there's a role for that on FB. people will suspect he's a sock.

Wow - that was quite a compliment. I just need to keep you away from some people so your nice opinion of me is not crushed by the awful truth.

The reasons why I avoid the Fashion Board are:

1) Most of the time I can't understand what people are talking about. I have known LessinSF for almost thirty years and I have no idea what most of his posts mean.

2) I have no interest in reality TV. I just can't get into it.

3) I have gotten so lazy that I have stopped renting movies (let alone actually going to a theater). TV commercials drive me crazy, but of course I have been to lazy to get Tivo. I have figured I can peruse books on line so I have become an Amazon.com whore. So I am just not up on popular culture anymore.

4) I am culturally challenged. I minored in Italian and British Renaissance art in College, and have spent the last twenty years of my life trying to purge the nightmare of all those damn slides of Madonna and Child and Chirst on the Cross. Even after all those slideshows and living in Italy, France and England, I would rather have dogs playing poker than a Monet on my wall. Some of us are just not wired for higher culture.

I am bewildered by the characterization of the FB as higher culture (albeit in the same post as a reference to reality TV), but this does emphasize another point I have made recently: we are all Atticus tribute socks.

Except for me. I'm a BRC tribute sock.

I am an aging heterosexual single male that has been chasing the fairer sex all of my adult life. I clearly have committment issues. I used to go on the hunt every chance I got. More and more my urge to go hunting has been overwhelmed by my urge to sit home and read. The disease is definitely progressive and chronic.

Dude, you are a manspinster. Do I have permission to cross reference this to the FB?

Bc I am a fan, and as a courtesy, I went and unignored Less's most recent post, and I think you will find it understandable. Maybe we will all see eachother at ths show?

I shared this with the good citizens of the FB some time ago. In response, the good citizens of the FB collectively farted in my general direction. I hope your post elicits kinder and more fragrant responses.

Question for the board, since I dont knowthe oeuvre of Spank as well as others. Is he sarcastic at all? Does he joke around?

Go read on the politics board for a while.

I think you all would make a lovely couple.

There was nothing indirect, sarcastic or untruthful about my previous statement.

I was asking in reference to the three cats. But thanks for playing.

I don't do politics unless its offtopic. Annoying as subject where people spout other people's bullshit.
