    Don't forget good cigars and sport (or did we cover sport with women?)

    Ok, you're all right, though I have no idea what pork scratchings are.

    Deep-fried pork rind. Cooked until it's puffed and crunchy, then salted.

    A favourite of cardiac surgeons, with pork scratchings being 100% saturated fat and salt! No carbs.
    Go to work, get married, have some kids, pay your taxes, pay your bills, watch your tv, follow fashion, act normal, obey the law and repeat after me: "I am free."

    Sounds more like your inner narcissist. By whatever name, though, it's a great thing.

    hmmm not the same. "narcissist" is self admiration, "goddess" is more like self liberating. Whole different feeling.

    You make much finer distinctions with your appearance and clothes than I do. Usually, I'm not considering whether an outfit is about admiration or liberation. Most often, it's just a matter of clean or not clean, new or threadbare. Sometimes my thoughts range as high as whether something fits, but most of the time it's pretty low-order thinking.

    Speaking of low-order thinking, how did we get onto scantily clad women as a topic?

    yeah, we gals think differently. Clothes don't cover us. It reveals us and sets us free.

    how we got into the subject is when I was poking around New Posts and clicked on something and back arrow'd a page or two, saw Virgil's bikini babes and just felt like commenting (more like clarifying). It's late, I can't sleep and just found myself here. Please don't mind me....

    Maybe you should chase it with kool-aid

    I never go into this thread, and now that I did I really had nothing interesting to offer. Boredom... meh....

    oh and if you want to see scantily clad women, you should all come to where I live... in the summer it is quite the sight
