The Comments on my Feb. 23 post.

Alan,

I arrived at * = the letter i immediately. I was surprised you beat around the bush (pun intended). But I suppose that backed your point about not getting la*d for being obtuse.

Heh. I thought it was R, so I was like woohoo! recipe blogging! *sigh*

Was a good story sir. My boys had been reading my Cosmopolitan mags. (had, past tense, I don't buy it anymore) Wonder if Redbook has recipes...

I think they do, but not a ton of 'em.

I can't believe you said "Adipose Tissue." You are such a nerd. Next time you should work in "Triglyceride" and "Ethyl-t-butyl ether" just to excite me.

A great post, but now I think you should do the COUNTERPOINT--"Obtuseness CANNOT keep you from getting la*d".

I know you're the king of Point/Counterpoint.

Obtuseness can keep you from getting a lad? Al!! I knew you were a Libertarian, but...

(grin) I like...

When is it (what age) that kids realise just what it was that there parents did...

Oh, along a similar vein. We had our "Halberg Sports Awards" last night.

One of the speakers was Danyon Loader who won NZ two Olympic swimming gold medals a few years back. In his speech he remarked that he had been swimming for a long time. In fact he could remember going for a swim with Dad and going home with mum...

Well, I thought it was funny...

Is there a link to that speech, Prob?

Steve, I thought about using the * as a null, but I'm not passionate about the Rhythm Method.

obtuseness equals fertility

I sympathize, Al.
There have been numerous examples of women, whom I knew as girls in junior high and high school, who later told me they had crushes on me way back then and they couldn't figure out why I never asked them out.

Of course, I prefer the word "oblivious".

"Oblivious" might be a better word.

I have to consciously make a decision to engage in a...uh... such things. I don't get how anyone could just fall into the sack with someone without understanding what's up.

"One thing led to another" just doesn't make any sense to me. I know the goal when I make the first move.

This is more of an objection to Jackie's remarks than anything else.

Of course, stupidity is not a guaranteed protection. But it "worked" for me.

I happened to catch an episode of the show "Crossing Jordan" a month or two ago. The phrase they used was, "...and one thing led to a mother".
I laughed my ass off. (Fun with weight loss)

I wish I'd seen that, LB. I still have a few pounds to go before I reach the level my wife has a picture of when I, while living at the Grand Canyon, was stricken by both a passion for walking and poverty.

Oh, and also an addiction to nicotine that overpowered my desire to eat.
