Maureen protest too much

Please, have you folks ever heard the phrase "high-maintenance"? Think that's GOOD? Ask yourself: Is this the kind of person I'd want to spend the majority of my life with? What's YOUR answer?

Ever hear Maureen complain she couldn't find a nice guy with a regular job, or is it always just a publisher or somebody with fame and money? What chance would a nice 45 yr old programmer have with HER?

What do you do when both of your high-powered jobs leave you on different sides of the country? If you already have a high-stress life, would it be good to add another person's high-stress life, or would you prefer someone who can calm YOUR nerves?

Why don't you go see what the Freepers are saying about her and tar all men with their viewpoints? It seems that would be just as valid as picking one guy off her Amazon review page.

Original article: Rated G for guys

The message is clear alright!

Some people just don't appreciate classic story lines, which generally involve a band of guys rescuing the damsel in distress, not a band of women rescuing a guy. Get it? That would make for more guys.

You know, like Shrek, Monsters Inc, Robin Hood... did they include Hansle and Gretel, and complain the witch is female?

Original article: Pornographic persuasion

Can't figure out how old the article is?

I suppose you could get really crazy, pretend to be a journalist and call them.

we're all fools

She's just a troll.

I won't be renewing, knowing some of it goes to employing her.

Original article: Bikers, they ain't no good

offsetting auto emissions?

I live on a narrow country road which cyclists seem to favor both individually and in packs. Unfortunately it has several totally blind hills. There's no way to go around them without possibly having a head-on collision with another auto, so I'm frequently forced to idle behind them at 10mph.

They appear to really not like that, but I'm not going to risk my life and property so they can be green and healthy. It turns a 3 minute drive to the main road into a 10 minute ordeal, effectively creating a traffic jam on a small country road.

Anyone care to calculate the overall effects of that?
