10. Hm. I'd have told my folks that Kia was no car brand in 1983.
And I'd have had that shiny Ferrari (in bright red, of course) to drive to junior high.

Man, I'd have gotten ALL the chicks.

13. Incorrect, MrScorpio.
Puppies.

Puppies make the wheat grow.



And implements harvest the wheat.

Yes sir.

30. Why are only the most unappealing women attracted to me?
Edited on Mon Oct-20-08 11:06 PM by Chan790
I mean I know I'm not George Clooney and I'm not looking for some supermodel...but is it too much to ask for a moderately-pretty liberal nurse/librarian/rocket-scientist who doesn't pick her nose during dinner and prattle on about her cat's digestive problems.

Just as bad, someone whose great plans for a Friday night involves watching sports and drinking beer straight from a pitcher.

Then there was the cop. Enough said...don't date female law enforcement.

or people who work in coffee shops...especially if you work there too.

That right there is the synopsis of my last four dates.

(I really did ask my mother this question...but it was a intent question...a verbal brushback pitch because she keeps trying to set me up with these very same sorts of women. Weird introverted socially-awkward masculine women.)

31. Q: What's a transvestite?
A. Go look it up in the dictionary...

Fade to black - no discussion. Some time passes...

After sounding it out for spelling and reading a plain clinical definition, the imagination of a kid runs wild....
