c'mon, ogged cuts his own hair. Does this sound like an insecure man? Or like a man with a whalish whang, who knows it makes up for the bad hair? Ogged's penis is so big, it has it's own blog. (secret penis blog) Ogged can satisfy a rhino. I'm not saying he does, mind you, this isn't a frat party, just that he could.
Ah, cock jokes and Bertrand Russell. Like peanut butter and jelly. Back when Josh Chafetz had his political philosophy pick-up line contest, I felt totally robbed when my submission ("Oooh baby, you just made my Bertrand rustle.") didn't even get an honorable mention.
Yeah, you were robbed, apostropher. I mean, it's a crappy pick-up line, but it's a great pick-up line contest entry. Come to think of it, "Do not mention or allude to your penis" is a pretty good rule for pick-up lines, generally speaking.
"Do not mention or allude to your penis" is a pretty good rule for pick-up lines, generally speaking.
Yes, this is definitely a good rule. One that is violated more often than you might realize. Or perhaps not -- maybe you already know this. Perhaps all men are secretly wanting to use such pickup lines and just hold back in the interest of actually getting the girl.
Yeah, that's the same one I use, and now I'll display my shocking and inexcusable ignorance of such matters. Using Thunderbird's aggregator, it gives me the entire individual archive for each post, including the header graphic and comments. I see, though, that livejournal users who have my rdf feed in their friends page only get the excerpt, with no links or formatting or anything.
I haven't changed anything concerning the syndication set-up since the very first time I put it on the page two years ago because I only just figured out what it was in the last few months anyhow. Is there a simple fix for it?
This photo might just offer a fashion tip for Ogged, as it seems to address the skivvies issue as well as his desire for a sparkly butt. Plus the girl in the shot has a very "Alice in Wonderland" look on her face - not that it's relevant, it just makes the picture.
Eh, the pickup lines are generally boring. Ho hum. You know, comments about seeing what a "real man" (with eyebrow raised glance downward) is like. And then there are the just outright crude ones you get while walking down the street.
Oh, but here's an interesting twist you might enjoy. Not an outright pickup line, but happened on a date, a second date I believe, over the summer. First date was a casual lunch/coffee thing. Maybe he hugged me goodbye. Second date, after dinner, he kissed me. And then gave me this fine line: By the way, I really like to go down.
The way he said it, when he said it ... cracked my ass up! That approach was perhaps not the best way/time to sell his talents.
Larry, I thought I had admirably simplified getting dressed to go out, but leopard-print-butt-dude wins, no question.
By the way, I really like to go down.
I really don't know what to say. I don't know people like this. (Ok, I know one guy who would say something like this, but it would be a funny joke.) But I hear so many stories like it that I have to assume that these approaches work, at least some of the time.
Oblique, unexpected - yeah, I can see it as funny. It would have to be said the right way at the right time. Pity I'll never get the chance to use it. Twenty two years faithfully married.
Ogged, I guess it must work sometimes but one would need to be careful about the timing and context. There was no indicator that he needed a "save" for the date at the moment, so why try to sell his special interests?
I felt bad because he was sincere but I was so shocked that I laughed. What else could I do, really? Wonder what he would have said if I replied, great ... your opportunity is NOW. Huh. Could have been fun, but ... well, there was no commentary on whether or not he was any good. :)
Tripp, that's wonderful ... now go home and use the line on your wife and let us know how it works out for you.
So what's the deal with pronouncing your name to rhyme with "meaner" and not with "miner", as I would have guessed it's pronounced based on the spelling?
A little defensive, are we?

Ogged always gets a bit defensive when Thorpe's name comes up. I love it.

I'd like people to comment only if they're genuinely moved by the posting spirit. Like now, when I tell you that Michael's entirely right.

If Ogged would stop looking at Ian Thorpe long enough to comment. I have no proof that's what he's doing; only a hunch that he's comparing bulge's.

I think that you misplaced a comma:
"mature, sensitive, sexual athletes" would read better as "mature, sensitive sexual athletes."

You have a problem with the way this post is written? He didn't say we deserved to be nominated in the "most high-minded" category, right?
Most giantest cock; group category; arithmetic mean (otherwise, Crooked Timber could make it a close contest).
Posted by ogged | Link to this comment | 01- 9-05 9:30 PM
"I'm sure this exchange enervates that impulse, but I'm sure we'll get a consolation koufax for most giantest cock (group category)."
At what point do you recognize the extraordinary ne plus ultra that FL brings to your blog? That is, at what point does "Unfogged" become "Unflogged"?
Posted by SomeCallMeTim | Link to this comment | 01- 9-05 9:35 PM
To make the presence of Fontana "Every Other Post Mentions Tom of Finland" Labs responsible for renaming this site Unflogged would be inexcusable.
But yeah, Labs rocks.
Posted by ogged | Link to this comment | 01- 9-05 9:41 PM
Well, I'm all for ogling (or should it be oggling on this blog?) hot young things in their skivvies, but Thorpe is not my type.
And you just can't get away from the panty blogging theme, can you Ogged? :)
Posted by profgrrrrl | Link to this comment | 01- 9-05 10:16 PM
Not your type? First one I've heard that from.
And this is 2005 babe, it's either panties or torture (or both, when events warrant).

Goddamn, but you guys are funny.

Maybe, but you'd still totally clobber tacitus.

Well, linking to pictures of Ian Thorpe leaves me distinctly "unflogged". (Not that there's anything wrong with it, of course).
