So many great ideas come from the West coast, whether it’s coffee and bands from Seattle or fashion and movies from LA. We have the utmost class and sophistication and we still know how to have a good time. They even wrote a song about us. The west coast provides satisfaction guarenteed. It’s no wonder you’re a virgin. You’re probably one of those uneducated, fashion lacking, midwestern hicks. You may even be missing a few teeth. You can’t get laid because you live in a town with a population of ten, all of which you are related to. You really need to get out more. ---

Hey there ladies… sadly, my travel plans involve, at best, being in towards the bay area this summer, but if you do decide to come up north, I promise you some hellacious hospitality. (Bonus geek points for those that catch the reference) oh, by the way, **Monkeybutt** I’m assuming you meant your posts in a humorous sort of way, but some folks could take what you said personally, and drag you into the Pit. You don’t want to go there. Really. Ask around. It also makes Mods angry, but that’s pretty harmless. 😃 ---

(Pay your surgeon very well/ To break the spell of aging/ Celebrity skin is this your chin/ Or is that war your waging…Space may be the final frontier/ But it’s made in a Hollywood basement…) I suppose coffee, good bands, and fashion are pretty important. The Midwest only generated things like the airplane, the assembly line, and most of the food grown in the U.S. But those are less important than drinking coffee while dressed well, with a good band playing, aren’t they? ---

[QUOTE] \*Originally posted by Lizard \* \*\* > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Monkeybutt \* > \*\* > > If you’re talking about “Californication,” > > \*\* LIZARD The song I was talking about was California Girls by the Beach Boys. I’m sorry I offended you. I’m a big fan of travel and enjoy the culture and history that every new place has to offer although I have to say that there is no place like home 🙂 no matter where home may be. I was upset because Black Knight wished the the west coast and the east coast too into the ocean. I think he feels that somehow becuase people some people from the west coast have sex that none of us have any morale. I agree that sex before marriage is wrong but I don’t view people who have sex as immoral. I think there are many componants to a persons moral and that Black Knight should not judge two entire coasts on a question coming from two coeds having some college fun. Once again Lizard i am sorry. ---

Jeez, did somebody turn over two pages at once? We were talking about sex and other such pleasant topics and suddenly morals came up…where’s the fun in that? C’mon kids, lets play nice. ---

Monkeybutt, I thought the winking smiley at the end of my post was a good indication that it was meant in jest. FTR, I do not, nor have I ever seriously advocated, the deaths of millions of people simply because they live in coastal regions. Geez. > [@](#): > > **West coast girls have plenty of sense.** I never said that they didn’t. I think you misunderstood the meaning of “sensibilities”. No biggie; happens to the best of us. > [@](#): > > **You’re probably one of those uneducated, fashion lacking, midwestern hicks.** Uneducated enough to know the meaning of the word “sensibility”. 😃 I admit that I have no fashion sense. However, I see this as a good thing. I try not to wear anything just because other people think it looks good, with the exception of a suit I wore once to a kegger. > [@](#): > > **You may even be missing a few teeth.** I’m from Minnesota, not Iowa. 😉 > [@](#): > > **You can’t get laid because you live in a town with a population of ten, all of which you are related to.** Please note that there is a difference between “can’t get laid” and “does not wish at this time to get laid”. (Of course, they aren’t mutually exclusive.) I live in a town with a population of about 85,493. The combined metro area of Duluth-Superior is around 130,000. I am related to approximately two of these people. > [@](#): > > **You really need to get out more.** Everyone tells me this. My usual response is, “If you’re the sort of person that’s out there, why on earth would I _want_ to get out more?” But in this case, I don’t think you really meant to get nasty. It’s just a misunderstanding. Truce? ---

Please HomeSlice take a moment to tell us why this is. Are you: A) So young you think all memebers of the opposite sex have cooties? B) So old you’ve forgotten what sex is?

I don’t think I’ve met anyone that is as condescending as PinkBunny sounds. I look forward to meeting the nemesisters in Great Debates someday. I’ve been too long without an adversary. But because we hold such an opinion, we _obviously_ are either afraid to talk about sex, or can’t get laid. :rolleyes: ---

I understand your quandary completely, **Pink Bunny**. The summer before grade three, my best friend and I were taken on a walk by stupidity (or something like that, there was a lot of stupidity involved) when dairy foods came up. We decided that by this point in our lives we should have eaten ten flavours of ice cream (combined) in order to enjoy respectable lives. But alas, our count only came to nine, we were one lucky flavour short. Since my friend is currently lactose intolerant, the duty fell to me. Which leads us to our problem: If I eat a flavour he’s already eaten does that count as number ten or was it just a rerun of a previous number? Keep in mind, the majority of our nine are his and we have only a limited number of flavours available so the chances of this coming up are very high. I came to the following conclusions, which you might find useful, after a bowl of Rocky Road which I had eaten all up, inside: 1. By bringing together psychology, biology, and physics, and mixing them in a bowl with ice, we had calculated that the number of flavours we needed to eat in order to be respectable was exactly ten. Ten were the number of flavours to be eaten, and the number of flavours to be eaten would be ten. Eleven would we not eat, nor would we eat nine, except if we then proceeded to ten. Twelve was right out! When we had eaten ten flavours exactly, we would no longer look like naive fools in the eyes of our peers, and we could hold our heads up high as we walked among the other eight year olds. 1. It didn’t matter if one of us had experienced four flavours and the other six. Or if one of us had eaten three and the other seven. Or even if one of us had eaten two and the other eight. No, it would not matter if one of us had intimately known only one flavour, and the other nine. For we knew that, if nothing else, we shared but one brain. 2. Hi, Opal. ---
