Hey, proposition: I'll teach you how to understand boys if you teach me how to understand girls. Or Visual Basic. Either one will do.

you can buy a book called VB in 21 days. Try and do that with the girl subject.

B, c'mon over!

... and a romance was born.

Ummmmmm, I can't say it because last time I said the g word in this forum I got myself in deep trouble and kept digging myself deeper and deeper and deeper. But I would also like to know about what Brandon was talking about.

What's the g word?

Girls

Oh. Thought that it was something entirely different. *blink*

Hey I actually know this one.

But don't ask me about anything else.

Whenever I read kierkegaard I feel like I am getting 10% of what he is saying, but that 10% always leaves me feeling full. It's the whole indirect communication thing, it's like he really didn't want you (as a reader) to totally get what he is saying cause he wanted you to have to work it out yourself (ie have an existential experience with the truth).

fallingleaf- Sock gnomes. Really. I have proof. Their president calls my close friends and threatens me. It is quite scary. Solution- stop wearing socks.

P. S. Edward, I have some thoughts on the "G" word, I find I can be one on a good day!

well, my theory has always been this:

boys are dumb
women are evil

i hold to that. now, girls are another subject. as are men, for that matter. maybe i should have said 'men' in the first place.

Hey this is incredibly close to my personal theory about gender, relationships, and everything (AKA Troy's Theory of Gender, Relationships, and Everything), which suggest that:

Women are Evil
Men are Stupid.

I've been spreading this philosophy for years (including several times previously on this site), and have convinced so many people that I am thinking of upgrading to cult status. I think that I would be a very good cult leader. I just have to work on the wacky hair cut and the piercing stare . Men and women would flock to me and my teaching, giving me their wealth and souls. The problem...I think I'm too stupid to pull it off .

No women are the Emotional Arts and Men are in to the Visual Arts.
Women are hung up in Victorian Times and men are stuck in Cave-men

ummm, how to stop war.
how to end hunger
how to get people to think for themselves
how to get people to to respect those that have a different opinion
how to solve conflicts in our soicety, and still make everyone happy (Gay marriges come to mind)
how to play a variety of intstruments

1. Stop fighting.
2. Eat.
3. Stop thinking for them.
4. Beat them into submission.
5. Stop trying to solve them, and there is no conflict.
6. Eh, on your own there.

haha, I think 1 and 4 conflict there

*coughs* Um, no?

That would defeat the entire purpose of the exercise.

Need more boy friends. Preferably non-gay ones.

Not if you are a girl!

Trust me: I need more straight boy friends.

OK, count me in: +1 straight male friend.

Did someone say cult? I'm in!!!!!

Born to follow mindlessly....

Some men are stupid
Some women are evil

Also:

Some women are stupid
Some men are evil

And:

Stereotyping everyone is stupid
Starting cults is evil

Now cut out this cult business before I send Janet Reno over with a flame thrower.



Can I join too?

well, my cult isn't evil. In fact, Janet Reno is a member. I call it the church of Aaron. ok, ok, I'm only kidding.

Really? Cancel that then. I don't want to join.

All I really know:

Some people are idiots.

: )

But not all people, at all times ... but some are, almost always. And idiocy seems to be non-gender-specific.

And, I admit, at times I have done idiotic things.

Wait: This is supposed to be about things I know nothing about!

Which would be: Handicapping a horse race, for starters.

: )

why would you want to handicap a poor horsey, I hear they shoot em if thye break a leg.

Diamonds are a girls best freind.

: )

Absolutely!

And, if I could handicap a horse race, perhaps I could make some $$ at it!!

*Shaking head after seeing my unofficial pick (I never plan ahead enough to get in an actual bet) for the Kentucky Derby, Read the Footnotes, fade over the final quarter-mile*

What was your pick Lynne? Mine barely lost out...I had Lion Heart over Smarty Jones in our pool...it came in just backwards of that...Damn!

i picked lion heart, too. oh well. horse racing is another thing i know nothing about; i just pick names i like.

Me, too, Katherine!

: )

Thing is, a few years back, I selected Grindstone because I was working late the night before the Derby, and one of my co-workers had just said, "I'm going to pick Editor's Note because it reminds me of the newspaper" (which is where we both work!), and I scanned the list of horses entered and said, "Hmm, yeah, and here we are, with our noses to the grindstone, so I'm picking that horse!"

And, as you all may know, Grindstone DID win the Kentucky Derby that year ~ and, because he was "coupled" with (same owner or something) Editor's Note, my co-worker and I BOTH won some money! In fact, she also won more $$ than I did because she had put more in ... even though her horse didn't win, which seemed a little unjust, somehow, but still!

: )

That's the only time I've ever actually put money on the race, aside from some friendly wagering amongst friends, primarily what "number" of horse we think is going to win.

I don't care about 42, because 42 is the answer. Wha tI want to know is the question. Of course, that is what Earth was made for (at least acording to Douglas Adams)

[He throws open the door]

Who said that?

[He scans the suspicious crowd suspiciously with a suspicious eye.]

Who mentioned the name of that heretic Douglas Adams?

[He waits for a response. He sighs.]

Damn. I was hoping he'd sign my book.

[He walks off with a copy of "The Complete Hitchhiker's Guide" tucked under his arm.]

Bet the Jockey first, next look at the past performance of the horse, Track conditions,
post of the horse, medications. that is a good start to handicap. Then it is always best to go to the track often!

Lots of helpful information can be found here...in the
