[QUOTE=Spectre of Pithecanthropus] Proof positive that some jokes really do live forever. [/QUOTE] I have no idea what you all are referring to in these posts. Which joke? And **Jurph** , _shoes_? Shoes do nothing for me. I might notice them if they’re like knee high fuscia or something really outlandish. But I won’t care one way or the other. I know some men are “into” shoes, and women notice clothes for various reasons, but not me. ---

[QUOTE=alice\_in\_wonderland] You know, I’m wearing black pants right now. I just checked and my booty looks fine, thankyouverymuch. Of course, these are black pirate pants, coupled with a little niped in at the waist jacket and stupid high heeled boots. Almost certainly a “Loved by women, hated by men.” sort of outfit. 😃 [/QUOTE] You mean the other way 'round, right? Either that or your ass-to-leg-length ratio is smaller than mine… While I’m at work, my ass comes in three versions: - encased in black pants, - encased in grey pants, - encased in blue jeans. Personally I prefer the third kind of encasing and I’ve been informed that many male members of my own species agree, but since apparently my coworkers for the next 5 months are going to be the kind known as “big-firm consultants who wear ties while in a factory”, I would like to apologize in advance to the regular workers of said factory. Sorry. ---

You know, **alice** , I still haven’t seen ANY cite. I believe such things are necessary for…you know…discussion…and stuff. You don’t want to labeled a fraud, do you? I think it’s best if we provided SOMETHING to guide…us. _crosses fingers_ ---

Thanks, **Annise** , I remember that thread now. I had no idea what was goin on. I for one would like to request from **Alice** proper support for her statement. And **TroubleAgain** , too, despite your calls to the contrary. And **Nava** (jeans please!). Hell, while I’m at it, let’s just turn this into an @$$ appreciation thread. Let’s see 'em ladies. Preferably a 3/4 shot from the back, shot with the camera a bit lower on the up-angle. Or maybe just a bit off the profile as you’re about to step up on the stairs. Or, leaning in through the car window (shot from _outside_ the car, obviously 🆒 ). Um, what was the question again? ---

Forget the black pants. Last summer this absolute doll walked towards me wearing very, very VERY, tight white pants. Cameltoe on display and there was a damp patch clearly visible…damp I tell you, DAMP!! ---
