Well, ogged, you could certainly do worse.
But I'd bet she'd get tired of waiting for you decide whether you should actually take a bite of that apple.
I have it on good authority that the model only dates apples. Sorry, ogged, you're not her phylum.
Her over Cruz? I'm going to assume you've got some sort of product placement deal in place.
Kingdom, right. As ogged has pointed out, I haven't been at the top of my game lately.
marry their model
What happened to dating? Is this part of your new "Fast-Track" authority as blog president?
You don't even know if she's related to any professional athletes yet.
I haven't been at the top of my game lately.
I nitpick only because I'm cranky. And because I can't see the word 'phylum' without reciting 'Kings play chess on folding glass stools' to myself.
Suddenly I'm not picky enough. You people just don't want to see me happy.
Timmy, see, this is just not very appealing. (Sorry, I try to limit the so-and-so is ugly stuff, but he's hounding me.)
Is this part of your new "Fast-Track" authority as blog president?
Alas, I'm in no position to grant most-favored-model status to anyone, but I do hope to bypass the whole "dating" mess, more as a scofflaw than President.
ogged, you're aware that this product model, it's possible to take unflattering photographs of her as well, right?
Sorry, I try to limit the so-and-so is ugly stuff
Well, it does make it clearer why you're single.
It might be possible, but I haven't seen them.
Suddenly I'm not picky enough
I can just relate to your quest to finance your future through tennis daddiness. Keep your eyes on the prize.
You take her over the astoundingly beautiful (cf. Jamon Jamon, i believe) Penelope Cruz? I worry about you, my brother.
Was it tennis? I don't want my kids to play tennis.
Timmy, see, this is just not very appealing.
I'll stop hounding if you'll stop saying things are self-evidently untrue. That's a great picture of her. There has to be a way to true any system. If you really think Cruz is ugly in that picture (ugly, not "not my type," not "strangely unappealing,"), then I really have no way to make sense of any future claims about the attractiveness of women unpictured.
I give up. You just hate Spaniards.
Not tennis as such--just the general phenomenon of steering your child towards athelic success.
Some people are like that. Me, me encantan las espanolas.
If I say she's "not my type" then you'll say, "What, you don't like women who are beautiful?" Maybe she's just not my type. I'll relent, even though in my little heart of hearts I think she's funny looking.
I actually know what you mean about Cruz, Ogged.
Off to swim, O haranguing opinionators...
He said that just as I was agreeing with him.
I personally think Cruz is stunning. But I can accept that there is definitely something in her looks that someone might not find appealing. I remember reading her described once as looking like the "lovechild of Sophia Loren and Ringo Starr." That seems just right to me, and also like a recipe for all-around-awesomeness.
Hey! She's just like an Iranian but with a smaller nose!
No matter what you think of PC's looks, you must remember that she has boinked Tom Cruise and has been comtaminated by alien seed, causing her to bite the heads off subsequent lovers.
You have been warned.
Looking at the girl again, jeez man, she's like 16. Who do you think you are, Tom Cruise?
She's just like an Iranian but with a smaller nose!
I was so gonna say that, but I promised to lay off. So someone else is going to have to speculate about what this inability to see obvious beauty in a near-Iranian face means.
Ok, well the model is decidedly beautiful, but what does it say about me that my second thought on seeing the image was: "Damn, that's a big apple."
That you couldn't tell that she's a really small model?
sorry, SCMT, i was referring to Eve there, not P Cruz.
You guys go figure out which one looks Iranian (answer: neither). Love the Loren/Starr comment. That's exactly right. But DE, it's presumptuous to say that Cruz has boinked Cruise, unless "boinked" is a Scientological term of art for one of their rituals.
I appreciate the support ac, but didn't you also defend w-lfs-n's "palimpcest"? Maybe you just can't help but stick up for someone being assailed? Noble, but, you know, cold comfort for the person being defended.
Ogged - don't you know that Thetans boink by forcing their victims, er, lovers to have dinner at the Scientology Celebrity Centre, where they are fed odd alien dishes containing mutant DNA conveyors, after which the alien seed permeates their bodies?
I will say this for the Cruise & Katie thing - If she's really stayed a virgin thus far, she won't know there's anything amiss on her wedding night...
I really did get w-lfs-n's joke, and I really do think Cruz is an acquired taste. But I see I'll have to do some arbitrary disagreeing to re-establish my independence.
You guys go figure out which one looks Iranian (answer: neither).
Maybe it's just the steroids talking, but Gawd I hate you. She does look Iranian - just imagine an Iranian nose on that face. And maybe slightly more angular cheekbones. But I don't think that would be strictly necessary.
And no, of course the woman with the apple does not look Iranian at all. So now we know Michael drinks.
Steroids?
She doesn't look Iranian. Iranians have softer, rounder faces. Just do a search, you'll see. "Iranian" for some ungodly reason, just seems to mean "hot, dark-haired woman" to you.
Literally the first woman I saw when I googled Iranian . You can't be telling me that I'm just making up the similarities out of whole cloth.
Is it possible that you only know chubby Iranian women?
Oh, steroids was a "rage" joke. Strangely, I did feel actual rage flowing through my veins. Must cut down on on political blogs.
Tim, look again at that page. Is she Iranian? She is not. Did I just say that you think "Iranian" means hot and dark-haired? I did.
Sorry to interrupt, but Cardinal Sin is dead. Let the sloth and gluttony commence.
Maybe it's Assyrians I'm into. That would be great, since you already waved me off the Iranians. So what news on the Assyrians?
Iranian or former Cruise lover?
What's so funny about "Cardinal Without"?
I don't know anything about Assyrians. Report back.
There's a lot of silly stuff going on in SCMTim's link, but none of it so incomrehensible as this:
Fundamentalists: Mentally funded!They make money the old fashioned way: they think it.
The Iranian personals are endless fun. Too bad the links are gone, but this thread gives you a pretty good taste.
Oh, I get it. Somebody is definitely putting stupid in the water over here.
You really haven't been sleeping, have you?
Seventy Thousand Assyrians (I think this is the full text.)
What, just because I haven't been the sharpest monkey in the barrel doesn't mean I'm all not-sleeping.
Oh, I see I'm interrupting another unfamous unfogged flirtation. I'll be quiet.
I could be on smack, for example. Which I am not. I'm just saying, the facts are underdetermined.
You're right, it could be any number of things. The not-sleeping speculation was out of bounds. Glad you're not on smack. Might introspection reveal to you the cause of the most precipitous decline in comment quality in the Whole History of Unfogged, SB?
You're right, it was sleep. Apparently one of the symptoms is being needlessly contentious. Can you ban me? I mean seriously. I need to go away.
You want me to ban you? Like, block your IP address, to force you to stop commenting? I'll do it if you're serious.
So it's a lack of self-restraint?
In saying this I don't mean to be critical; when I was studying for exams last summer I tried to ban myself from news and sports sites (this was before I started to read blogs) using the IE "content adviser" (this was before I started to use firefox) and I just ended up learning how to type in the password faster and faster to get around the restrictions.
I'm going to bed SB, but if you're serious, just say the word. Believe me, I understand. But don't let me catch you commenting elsewhere! I'll unban you so fast...
Something like that, eb, yes.
Ogged, I'm now thinking that true banning can only come from within. I'll try to make myself scarce using less elaborate means.
Ogged, apparantly, has trouble recognizing Iranians.
Cruz, to me, looks like a rat. A sexy rat. She's like Sarah Michelle Gellar in this way.
Yes! I like that. A rat. I don't begrudge anyone their attraction to rats, but it seems a bit much to insist that I share it.
I am not asking you to share my attraction; I'm asking you to acknowledge that, by any useful or rational standard, you are a deviant. That's all.
Where do Assyrians hang out, like a wolf on the fold?
Iranian or former Cruise lover?
Ogged, do you know what "MALAACH MULOOCH during dinner" means?
I know what you mean about Penelope Cruz. I mean, I think she's beautiful, but she's definitely odd-looking (something to do with the proportions of/distance between her nose and mouth, I think). However, I often find odd-looking women attractive.
shrug.
Joe,
Cruz, to me, looks like a rat.
When I read this I mistook it to mean "(Tom) Cruise, to me, looks like a rat."
I thought "The big nose, the exposed incisors, he's right!"
Cruz, on the other hand, I don't see the resemblance. In my eye she is okay but not exactly my cup of tea.
aposthropher,
However, I often find odd-looking women attractive.
Me too, and I have a theory about this. I think perfect features look phony to most, a "barbie doll." The most attractive women are perfect except for one feature.
Brittany Spear's cow eyes for example.
The Cruz mystery is over. I took a look at her picture. Her philtrum is too small.
So I say.
Hera won't be pleased to hear you calling cow eyes an imperfection, Tripp.
And the rest of us are a bit shocked that Spears lands in the list of "most attractive women."
Hera and I have already resolved things years ago.
Spears was on my list but I fear that she is one of those flowers which blooms spectacularly but then fades rather fast.
57: It can't have been an Unfogged flirtation, 'cause if it was w-lfs-n would've actually banned SB in the middle.
75: She's never pleased, is she?
No one can respond to 79 until at least comment 98.
I'm never going to get to respond to it, am I?
