What do you look for in a partner?

[gypsyjoker]

Clay is not stupid, he knows that.

I already wrote a studioeight add some months ago!!!!!!

let´s see... midnight ad-real world -take one-

you have to be a man
you have to have (good, well...) sense of humor
you don´t have to be right-wing (too problematic)
you don´t have (at least) to look like my possible son/father/grandfather
you have to be a usually non shouter
don´t mind if you smoke unless you smoke in my face or leave tobacco smell in hand towells
you have to pay your side of things
you have to leave in the same city

what is particularly pathetic is when intelligent people bait and berate others simply because they can. that comment may make me unpopular, i don't care - sadists are easily recognizable by their works.

Right westie. Not amusing.

Jack, you're right, too. He's definitely not stupid. He knows exactly what he's doing.

If I've said harsh things to him, I apologize. I admit I've become defensive. I've probably lashed out and said things I shouldn't have said. I really am sorry.

Honestly, I am extremely disappointed. I wanted it to work and it did for a while. The beginning was beautiful.

I can't understand why anyone could think this type of comment would be funny. He enjoys conflict.

yeah, and you cain't saing either

(I know I'll never hear the end of this wisecrack)

He wants to "never hear the end of this wisecrack." He wants me to get upset. He wants to never hear the end of it. I'm serious. He likes it when an insult can last a long time.

Isn't it interesting that I'm apologizing?

LOL!!! I get insulted and then I apologize.

Oh but the reply will be, "Insults are never given. They're only taken." That's what he'll say. Then he'll claim it's a biblical concept. (for whatever that's worth..). It's a pattern. I'm serious. It's been happening for years.

I'm done with it.

I am sad it didn't work out but maybe you can understand why.

[westcoast]

totally. you made an informed decision. experience is the teacher.

where the hell did all those frog kissing princesses go, that's what I want to know.

It ain't easy being green.

and it ain't easy being a comedian
(or even trying to be)
it doesn't depend on your cleverness
as much as it depends on your audience's sense of humor

See?

As I said.... "it was just a joke"

Hahahahahahahahaha!

I get a kick out of it when I call it exactly as it will happen.

Plus, the blame is on "the audience" of course, that they didn't get it.

[Lightning Rod]

ok, now I don't get it
almost every description of the perfect partner (especially among the women) included 'good sense of humor'
but you ladies really don't want someone with a good sense of humor
because a really good sense of humor is too threatening
you think a good sense of humor means that someone laughs at your jokes
humor is dangerous

[Doreen Peri]

Sorry. What was funny about what you said to me when you called me fat and said I couldn't sing?

I don't get it.

I have a great sense of humor!

Maybe I'm missing the Don Rickles delivery in the voice?

'Splain it to me Lucy.

What was funny about it?

[Doreen Peri]

I'll have to read your answer tomorrow.

I have to go to sleep. It's late.

Goodnight.

[Lightning Rod]

I didn't say you were fat
I was using the totally cliche phrase, 'when the fat lady sings'
then you said you weren't fat
and then I said 'and you cain't saing either'
I thought that the dialect would emphasize the joke
it's funny
lighten up, gracie

[gypsyjoker]

You don't sound like a sadist to me Clay, you just sound hurt.

I am sorry I made my comment about hanging on, cause it only seemed to make things worse.

Do you ever question your motives? I am questioning mine.



Doreen makes no pretense about her singing.

I remember coversations between her and hester where she said she wished she had Hester's range.

You and doreen have gone around and around about the singing thing. You were not joking Clay, you meant it. It was a punch line with out a joke. Just a punch.





Fuck man
so got damn sorry I said anything.

where you coming from westie
Clay is no sadist, everyone here knows that.

[tarbaby]

Don't make me start bringing out the sock puppets on your skinny ass. Say your sorry. Try to learn something. It's time to hit the remorse button Clay.

For the tensegrity of the community.

Delete this if it is too cruel
I am channelling crazy mike

What I am looking for is a lonely divorced woman with a fat insurance policy and cancer. I know where to look. Down to the the corner church, where I will cut her out of the congregation, marry her and wait for the blue chips to fall. I know a guy who is on his second wife that way. He has probably picked out his next duchess too.

It is such a sweet scheme, you even get the sympathy of strangers for your loss.
