Full Disclosure

I paid tng for the paragraph above. Just send him Meatballs paraphernalia and you'll have him in the palm of your sticky hands.

The rest of the post, though, was great to read. I just clicked the 22 badges link on your #9 and lost myself in conversations about cougars, b_b's one-nighter with an older woman, and references to the The Princess Bride.

I'll have it be known that I work for both Meatballs paraphernalia and Red Dawn paraphernalia. That second link is the first time I realized I enjoyed reading KB's commentary.

I'm glad you enjoyed this post lil, it's amazing how much content there is here on this site if you start digging. Lots of wonderful conversations and worm-holes to fall down.

I was at a holiday party the other night and people asked me what I "did." I mentioned the day job, but quickly transitioned to music and Hubski. By the end of the conversation the people I was talking to were really interested in Hubski. I told them that the greatest education I've had in my life was Hubski. I read and consume so much content that I'd otherwise not be exposed to. It's pretty cool. Also, how many other sites get you MORE active in "real life?" -I'm cooking, musicing, photography-ing....

oh shit, forgot to post the photo challenge today. Gotta go...

EDIT: Cause, you know this whole december photo challenge has been so wildly popular

Near miss, actually. Can't find where I wrote about that, but I hope I told it the way it actually happened.

Google: hubski: cougaring

and it pops up in a bfx thread...

You say, "You'll probably learn something, and she'll feel good about herself. It's a complete and utter win/win."

Maybe you felt good about yourself too. The amount of sexist bullshit in your meagre description made me SQ (snicker quietly) , as in "Chicks in their 30s aren't so bad."

Not so bad indeed. You might even be married to one.

    "Chicks in their 30s aren't so bad."

I'm just picturing old chickens on a farm

Exactly.

Hmmmm. If anything, I'd call it narcissistic rather than sexist. I didn't see anything overtly sexist in there. One could easily reverse genders and say the exact same thing.

Oh god now I have to delete my account and start over. Google why.
