Comments by Book Guy (page 10)

@iknowbetter That's a good quip, and I get your point, you are probably correct in implying that the usual monger would be most interested in the girl who reliably provides high service. I would also like high service, but I notice, of myself, that I reject some whom others accept, on the basis of looks, mostly her body. This is just how my innate preferences work. She has to have a body that turns me on. Even if I know she reliably provides high service, I don't want it from her unless she's (generally) a spinner. I'm capable of the butterface exception ("her body looks great, BUT HER FACE is so bad ..."), I focus on body and can allow bad face. I'm not capable of butterbody. Maybe my mother didn't breast-feed me or something.

@Puddy-Tat "@book guy - not sure how more Biden could have prepared; he prepared in seclusion for A WEEK" You're right. I should have concluded with phrasing not, as, he prepared too little, but instead, as, he and his team prepared WRONGLY. My general concept (they're self-satisfied about their superiority) remains, adjust as necessary to agree with your more accurate knowledge of the week's history before the debate. All my family were Sherrod Brown fans. I'm personally impressed with the theory that you have to build the support for your policies. It's the Bloomberg methodology, and Brown seemed on board with it. The Ivy prats running Democrat campaigns for the last quarter-century are not. By the way Trump lied a LOT. Especially about the security he supposedly offered Pelosi. Thanks to Biden's Ivy prats, this and similar fraud have simply slipped off the radar. For me, the story is about the Ivy prats. "Democrats are going to learn a dear lesson from their contempt for middle America, particularly the white working class." Yup. It is of course an opportunity, to re-align the Democrat party with the people rather than the "elites". There's tons of hurt out there, largely economic, most of which would be better alleviated (IMNSHO) by progressive rather than regressive policies; but those who are hurting are (perhaps rightly) so turned off by the contempt that the power-structure shows them, that they know damn well this power-structure won't be helping them out. Meanwhile the extremists who fuel the Trump fervor have already re-aligned the Republican party. It's a brave new world that has such people in it. I'm not sure I'm a member of any party any more. I can't align with insurrection and calling my Veteran relatives "suckers" for signing up. But I can't align with the Ivy prats any more, either. Is anyone talking climate change? Starving middle school children? School textbooks that deny slavery's existence and white-wash the Nazi Holocaust? Our bridges and viaducts crumbling and crashing down during daily commute? Radicalists (Left and Right) shooting each other? Mass shootings at cinemas and shopping malls? The failure of trickle-down to actually trickle downwards any farther than to the CEO himself and nobody else? Uncle Sam sticking his fingers right up into my girlfriend's vagina and calculating her menstrual cycle to assume she's a criminal unless she proves she's not pregnant? Video surveillance? The coming apocalypse AI singularity? And don't forget the zombies?

I have only very seldom Uber or Lyft. Blow-n-go is a new concept for me. If my Uber or Lyft arrived with a blow-n-go I'd refuse to get in. I don't know how the app works, if that would cost me points or whatever, I'd report to the company. That's absolutely not something I'd find trustworthy for hiring someone to do driving. I mean, if the bartender at my local pub had a blow-n-go I'd still allow him to pull a pint for me, and if the mechanic changing my tires had a blow-n-go I'd still hire him to change my tires, and I'd be appreciative of a stripper who said she had a blow-n-go because that would be an easy conversation starter about other blows-n-gos. But a driver arriving to do driving with a device that indicates that a court has judged that he has been an irresponsibly dangerous driver about alcohol? No thanks.

Took the effort to bother to log in to my personal Instagram account, to look at her. Disappointed I did. Another fat chick hiding it with fake tits. In her case "naturally curvy" means "eats a lot of donuts and then wears a tight body-fitting outfit to pretend that she's feminine when actually she would remind you of your high school wrestling coach if it weren't for the outfit." The Jessica Rabbit look is appealing, for people that it suits. This woman's ideal look is the burqa.

A. She can pee on the side of the road. She won't be able to hit the coffee cup opening accurately anyway. B. Even if she did use the coffee cup, then yes I'd be comfortable drinking from it after adequately washing it. Presuming it's glass or typical ceramic mug material. If it's one of those rubber-plastic high-tech lined things designed for car holder sockets and extreme camping gear then maybe not. C. Why do you ask. This is practically clickbait except there's no click counter.

(Sorry about my first post, I must have cut-pasted wrong, but after I saw that it went wrong I figured I'd just leave it up anyway.) Bad "performance" by Biden. I am again angered at the entitled, lazy, smugly self-satisfied level of preparation that the Democrats apply to these major national performances. Again the campaign team thinks, "because we're better at betterness, our betterness will be demonstrated automatically" and otherwise does jack-shit to prepare or present their message. I vote progressive (probably not the right term, and not what skibum is necessarily referring two, just two posts back, but so I call it -- I want the Scandinavian model of social support and sympathize with the European Greens) and therefore want the Democratic Party's power-structure to do a better job of coaxing the American voter into agreeing with their message. The Democratic Party's power structure does exactly the opposite. Through experiences like this, I come to understand the swing voter's and Trump voter's dissatisfaction with the "elites" on the Left who appear like they can't empathize with most of the USA's average citizens, because through experiences like this I see "elites" on the Left who literally can't empathize with most of the USA's average citizens. From Donna frickin' Brazeale losing Al Gore's FRICKIN' HOME STATE in 2000 on down the line, major Democrats' campaigns have been run and ruined by entitled rich prats whose grandparents endowed Ivy type schools and their woke emulators. They deserve all the vitriol that the MAGA movement throws at them. I'm just sad that the vitriol will be served up not only at the prats who deserve it but also at the rest of their platform, message, and candidates. Surround yourself with bad people, get judged by the people you surround yourself with. GET A FRICKIN' DEBATE COACH dumbasses. SPEAK UP. Bother to have water handy. Maybe even look at the camera angles before-hand. WTF, I know this shit and I have never been a campaign professional in my life, I just watch TV, you'd think the Ivy prats could bother to earn a salary once or twice in a lifetime. Yeesh. I would slap those mothers senseless if I could. Carville was the last non-Ivy type to run a major Democrat campaign, more than two decades ago.

@skibum That's funny, I thought what we learned in grammar school was to always read the question carefully and make sure to pick the right answer, because most of the answers in a multiple choice question are guaranteed to be wrong.

A. Body. I just work that way. The manner in which my gonadal drives respond requires a body in the right range. B. How she behaves as I interact with her. C. Anything that's a deal breaker? Bad scars, bad breath, very negative attitude, aggression toward other dancers, extremism of any political sort. D. How does the first dance go? Enough contact? Making me feel like she feels like I feel like she feels like? More?

Mellow -- "Across the Universe" (Harrison, the Beatles) (or Fiona Apple) Stadium rock -- anything by Queen also Springsteen *yeah Born to Run ("strap my hands cross yer engines ...") Classical -- Bach Cantata 147 (Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben) especially of course Jesus bleibet meine Freude / Wohl mir dass ich Jesum habe but I don't mean to be snobbish I think it rocks :P

I love @shailynn's meme, does indeed sum it up. I agree with @skibum609, the loss of "melting pot" sensibility is a great metaphor for what's going wrong -- isolated communities all insisting on victimhood. What's the profession that's overrun by political correctness? University professors? Victims' rights advocates? Slave reparations panhandlers?

Istvan Kovacs, may he never referee again. Red card him!

I am very disappointed in these people who are entitled woke bitches (Gen Z) and in these other people who are peddling their own bullshit while feeding it to us (Google) and these other people who are finding "alternative facts" (most of you idiots in this thread) and a lot of these other people who are worried about their personal hobby horses (the rest of you idiots). Very interesting read. I think it's probably a fair, anthropologically sound although statistically weak, description of "what goes on in their heads." The best comment(s) here are the ones that re-describe this trend as, no longer using the word "illogical", instead saying, "non-logical." It's not that they take the right evidence but add it up poorly to a probably wrong conclusion. Nor is it that they take wrong evidence as fact and then add it up to an inevitably wrong conclusion. It's that they don't take evidence and don't add it up. I see a whole generation of "useful idiots", masses begging for administration of "influence" and ignoring anything otherwise. Both Right and Left are trying to pander to them in order to use them. Note our biases: I think the Right does a better job at misleading and therefore using and abusing those masses than does the Left, but that is probably because I generally vote Left; I suspect those of you who generally vote Right probably think the Left has been doing more effective pandering. Either way, it's an interesting paradigm shift. Basically, what this article teaches me is, STOP USING FACTS. Get a hot chick with nice tits, put her in a yoga outfit, write a lot of comments, and parade a sign near her. Heck, Budweiser has been doing it for generations. Don't show the beer. Don't show the beer being tasty or healthful or quenching. Just show the lovely horses. Or the tits. Like this: TITS Budweiser TITS. See, people buy your product that way. It's the strip-club-ification of the USA. Why complain?

Along the lines of "The Villain" (1979) is "Clockwise" (1986) in which John Cleese tries and fails to get there on time. Does it count as under-the-radar? And props, kudos, to those of you who tried to include stripper scenes. I think we could put together a list of (a) movies that have unreasonably Hollywood-ized portrayals of working girls and cardboard-cutout predictable plots ("Showgirls" 1995, "Gigi" 1958) and another list of (b) movies that actually get the concept.

Here's one for you PLs -- Lars and the Real Girl (2007). It's pretty much a chick-flick, "romantic comedy" type movie, with TUSCL-PL flavor. The main character believes his realistic life-sized latex love-doll is a real person, and his small town gathers forces to help him through his psychological crisis. Very sweet, but also very creepy if you think about it. How many of us TUSCL members have found ourselves similarly detached from reality with our own love-dolls? Asking for a friend. Of course. Never touched one m'self ...

Checking boxes is all that there is to either major party any more. (I say this as an agreement with @gammanu95, not as an attempt at contradicting or arguing.) My personal politics are generally far Left of the USA's Center -- I would like the Scandinavian Model for our social services and taxation, for example, and sympathize with Europe's Greens generally -- but I am consistently driven to anger and annoyance at the ways Democrats simply cater to the woke crowd. Similarly, I think most traditional conservatives would agree, the Trump and MAGA movements are also catering to a crowd within the usual Republican category. Both sides are shoehorned by the more extreme element. Maybe it's time for a "moderate" third party. Recent third-party candidates have been more, not less, extreme in one of the two directions.

I recall once attending a place in the Tampa Bay area that turned out to be like that (I jack myself) when I thought that it would be like the other places (she jacks me). I was disappointed. I was able to get good information about Houston from other internet resources. This one isn't really the right website for answers to this question.

Cute face. Can't see her body. Jury therefore remains out.

rofl @Mate27 "ultra herd mentality" yup that's a good way to put it

In Amsterdam RLD, walking around smoking my tobacco pipe, various young lads on various group trips to see various window girls would announce at me variously, "Pijpen." Which is of course Dutch for ... either of the concepts.

@Jackson And, another funny thing is, there were LOTS of guys enjoying the lapper parade at every club. It was like the auto mechanic and machine shops and plumbing supply stores would empty out for a "siesta" around 3 pm, and tons of guys would be in there having a beer before going back to work to clock out. I'm also convinced the girls were hotter then, much more so than they are now, but that could just be my faulty memory. Anyway, just generalizing, the prices were lower, the number of customers was higher, and the quality was higher, all at the same time. That isn't what I learned about the whole value-added supply-demand quality-of-merchandise thing in undergrad Economics 101.

Yeah I saw the security. They're not just "ushers" they're "beat-you-uppers" it appears. And also, oddly, lots of cup-throwing. I think the German concessionaires didn't count on their swag turning out to travel with such an accurate and distant trajectory through the air. You know it's Euros-2024-logo merchandise, so it may not be the usual cups used in the stadiums for regular games. And it may be that Germany's usual Bundesliga fans are much more respectful of the opposition -- or fearful of the authorities -- than the traveling fans from other countries. Could be. Serious yawners today, three of the four of them. Austria the new Cinderella team. The Brits prove they still exist, and nothing else.

This is an attractive woman, to me, although she is clearly also middle-aged or "beyond her prime" or whatever you want to call it. And I'm not usually a fan of larger than average breasts, generally I prefer average or smaller, but again that depends on the shape and maintenance etc.. I think these are very well done fake breasts, you can kind of pinpoint the location of the implants if you stare enough and keep from drooling. Her supposed nipple "divergence" could be simply due to the pose; if she put her arms together would she suffer from "convergence" similarly? I don't think so.

What a silly thread. He's AI generated, everything will be fine.

In my day this girl would have been considered a lazy slag with a fat ass who uses a lot of makeup to cover up the fact that she's never been in a gym. But evidently it's trendy to have a twerk-able ass these days, no matter how large. I don't find large asses attractive generally, though they aren't deal-makers or deal-breakers, depending on the rest of the body, especially if she's a physically fit type or dancer f.e. (cf. Jennifer Lopez). Is it actually the case that mere "big" is the only positive criterion for asses (and other assets) these days? Isn't there some degree of refinement?

Two stories. The Lap Dance Parade. Way back in the day, in the 1990s in Toronto, at several clubs but especially in the afternoons and weekday evenings in the City proper not the suburbs, f.e. at House of Lancaster II on Bloor Street, they had the Parade. The DJ would run some kind of syntho-tune or an extended dance mix (or Stairway to Heaven, of course) that had no identifiable duration, the girls would sit on your lap, mostly without even asking, and start grinding, and approximately every three or two minutes, the DJ would just yell "switch" and the girls would get up and walk to the next guy, repeat about six times. Expert customers would corral their next girl while still getting the previous lapper from the previous girl. Always a fun time. At HoLan II they started it with "Baby Elephant Walk" so all the girls knew the signal, ROFL, they'd sprint to their fave's tables when that thing came on the speakers. Great way to interview the girl of your choice about what kind of service in the lap-dance rooms later. Extreme horniness guaranteed, because (a) all the other dudes in the room were all horned up so it was like watching a goddamned porno except live and in person, (b) you got guaranteed girl variety because "switch!" came around almost too often, (c) you anticipated (always a stimulating experience) the next girl but also AT THE SAME TIME you enjoyed the current girl. Stimulus overload. The cost was $5 Canadian for each of these mini-lappers and everything was full-straddle hands-on-tits. You could keep your girl for more than one at the "switch" if you wanted, even better! But beware nipple sucking, you don't know which other guy's slobber is already on there. The dirty Af-Am clubs of the South. Plenty of Black clubs from 1995 to about 2005 or even 2010 had full-service in the side booths. The girls were "ghetto" style, these were the first places I ever saw the "twerk" thing (which kind of annoys me, it lacks attentiveness or skill to simply slam the ass fat around for a few minutes). I recall a club near the Fed Ex airport in Memphis on a street called "Lamb" something, you could get in and out for under $50 as long as you were known not to be a copper. Very accommodating. I would definitely call them "low-end high-mileage."
