ParticipantNice story here, too. One suggestion, though?
Next time, do you think you can put a line of blank space between each paragraph break when you write? It'll be easier and less intimidating to read. Aside from that… who needs Jiffy Lube?

ParticipantShame on me for not checking this out earlier.
The stuff of our dreams meets everyday life. Now this is what we need more of. Thanks. 🙂

Excellent. The Force is strong in your artwork. Now you have crossed over to the Deviant side. Join me… and together we shall rule the Internet as writer and artist!
*labored inhale… coughs, sputters, wrenches black mask and helmet off*
It's impossible to breathe in this thing! @_@

ParticipantI like the new look! 🙂

ParticipantTo cpbell: To be frank, that may be so. But for me, both women's "haughty coaters" and London tailoring meant the same thing to me: threads that cost more than I'd care to spend on, say, a new personal computer.
And baditude: Ah. The target audience. As Ernest P. Worrell might say, "Well, there's your problem, Vern. Those skinny chicks are advertising to the wrong folks: Are those Grand Muckety Mucks gonna be wearing those outfits?" 😛

ParticipantHmmm. Well, frankly, what it says to me is… if a supermodel looks unhappy wearing it… why would my woman want it?
What really caught me by surprise, though, was when I was walking past the Garden Hotel… and I saw a color poster of this guy: Jeremy Langmead. Actually smiling in his suit.
That took me by surprise so much, I instantly remembered the brand: Gieves & Hawkes of No. 1 Savile Row, London.
I figure, if he's happy with wearing it… it'd probably look good on me, too.
(And if I ever win the Publisher's Clearinghouse Sweepstakes, I'll make a point to order one. ^^;;; )
And hey, check out the guys from the Spring/Summer 2006 ad campaign. More smiles. More cool overpriced duds.

ParticipantFrankiesUncle… nuthin' but lurve, but I gotta hold you to task on some remarks you made:
… and we now find ourselves in a ground war with a bunch of uneducated rednecks willing to blow themselves and anyone else near them to pieces in order to kill the infidels.
My USMC cousin and my National Guard younger brother (who helped mop up in Kuwait after Operation Desert Storm) would be less than appreciative of that remark. >:(
They're EDUCATED rednecks, thank you very much.
We have good and we have bad but like I said, if anyone else in the world wants to stand up and lay out the cash and dead bodies… be our friggin' guest because I'm fairly tired of seeing my friends coming back in body bags.
I feel you on that. But mind you, that was common attitude back before 1942. Lots of folks thinking, let those fools across the oceans blow themselves to Kingdom Come. It's not affecting us. But one statesman, Churchill, I think, made an argument that if we didn't step up and pitch into the war effort, our enemies would be making a grab for us before too long. And if we let Africa, Asia, and Europe fall, we'd have had to fight regardless. Only THEN, America would've been outnumbered ten to one.
Same deal today vs. the terrorists. We let this thistle grow full size instead of chopping it up when it first sprouted. Now we've gotta weed 'em out before they take over ALL the garden.
Oh, and as far as letting another nation be the earth's emergency number to dial… and I honestly write this with all due respect to the other citizens of the world: who do you wanna nominate? :-

ParticipantAnother thing on looking sexy, Pelo… in all those photos and catwalk videos I've seen… I'd pay cash money if I actually saw one of those models actually SMILE. :-
Why do they have to have that certain stare and parting of the lips that makes them look like they're passing a golf ball through their urinary tract? You guys know the face I'm talking about, guys? Are they afraid their face will shatter if the corners of their mouth go up?
(How much you wanna bet that they can't smile because they're aching for a Double Quarter Pounder with large fries and a shake… and can't have it? :P)

ParticipantCan't answer the first question; sorry about that. The second one, though… right off the top of my head:
"Hi!" ;D "Wow, I see you work out. A lot. Sure has paid off. I sure could use some pointers to get all this down here…" (points to gut) "…up here." (points to chest and arms) "What's your secret?"
JimmyDimples
ParticipantWell, well, AlexG… you look so … real. 🙂
Renee and Sarah look real… bony! I swear, when you can make a skeleton sketch for biology class using their arms… that's just crossing the line. 🙁
Those two need a sammich.
