I once witnessed more ardent emotions between men at an Elks’ Rally in Pasadena
than they could ever have felt for the type of woman available to an Elk.

To paraphrase Frederick Flintstone of the Loyal Order of Water Buffaloes:
“Moo
Moo-oo
Mooooooo”

Quite so. An extraordinarily insightful remark, I thought. I know a lot of guys who wouldn’t date the female equivalent of themselves, and when no-one else will go out with them they say women are shallow.

Looks like a gig I may have played at.

Come off it–how many women would happily date the male equivalent of their demanding and mercurial selves? Women just have a raft of shifting double standards designed to keep men entirely off balance. Witness:
“I’ve never understood why women love cats. Cats are independent, they don’t listen, they don’t come in when you call, they like to stay out all night, and when they’re home they like to be left alone and sleep. In other words, every quality that women hate in a man, they love in a cat.” –Jay Leno
Fortunately, men have a genetic flaw that allows us to find the way women behave flirtatious and charming, even while we’re ruining the crowns on our teeth, so it works out well for all concerned.
“The woman remains constant … ‘C’mere-c’mere-c’mere … Oh-gettaway-gettaway-gettaway … C’mere-c’mere-c’mere’.”
–Bill Cosby

Why do Cats like me

Metro, who is quoting Jay Leno and Bill Cosby, whom historians remember as men who were funny back when Reagan was president, can safely be ignored. He married out of his league and he knows it.
Why do cats like you? Because YOU can operate a can opener and they can’t.

My shallow side prevails while I’m still drinking my morning coffee, so I’m struck by how absolutely timeless her look is. Want! That photo epitomizes the difference between true style and fashion.

Raincoaster is so very flirtatious and charming.
I am ashamed of my dated quotations. I should have stuck with somebody modern and hip.
Like this Dante fellow, maybe?

Dante is timeless, my friend. Especially when he’s talking about the spam links on WordPress blogs.

And, damn, the more I look at Loos’ portrait, the more I think she’s got Louise Brooks beat to hell.

Yes, she does. Brooks was an interesting person, not an airhead, but Loos just had it all. And left it in the morning before it woke up.
