Apparently it also extended to a _thing_ for ethnically Jewish women ([Lizzy Caplan](http://www.setholenick.com/data/photos/235_1celebrity_lizzy_caplan_lr.jpg), who I had assumed to be of Italian descent until I looked it up). Mmmmmm … Italian mimes … Am I the only one who noticed that some sort of blemish (a mole?) was airbrushed away from over Asia’s eyebrow, but not airbrushed off in the reflection? That is all. ---

Really? She’s reasonably attractive, as is Catrinel, but she’s no [Adriana Lima](https://www.google.com/search?q=adriana+lima+victoria%27s+secret&client=firefox-a&hs=KbM&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&channel=sb&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=U5CDU9DXKenMsATUr4DIDg&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAQ&biw=928&bih=474#channel=sb&q=adriana+lima+victoria%27s+secret&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&tbm=isch&tbs=isz:l&imgdii=_).

Old joke: In Heaven, the chefs are French, the cops are English, the engineers are German, and the women are Italian. In Hell, the chefs are English, the cops are German, the engineers are French, …and the women are Italian. Me, of course I can see it, but growing up in Wisconsin instead of New Jersey, I was strongly imprinted by the kitten-princess Slavic girl thing. ---

There, also, is/was no ‘store’. Gosh, you mean **Shagnasty** wasn’t literally recounting his actual experiences with chattel slavery or sex trafficking?! Whew, what a load off my mind! Thanks so much for the reassurance! 🙂 :rolleyes: Buy a clue, dude. I was well aware that **Shagnasty** was speaking figuratively. I was simply remarking that I thought the figure of speech he chose unfortunately made him sound creepy as hell. And I still think so. YMM, as always, V. ---

I was simply remarking that I thought the figure of speech he chose unfortunately made him sound creepy as hell. And I still think so. It always fascinates me how easily offended the delicate posters here can be. It must be so much work being outraged all of the time over literally nothing. ---

> [@Robot\_Arm](#): > > The thing that surprises me is when guys expect other guys’ buttons to be the same as their own. I know mine aren’t. At some point it seems to be almost as individual as a fingerprint. I was in perverts row (the seats next to the stage) in a strip club one time at a bachelor party. The girl on stage was unquestionably not, but was also very flexible. She was twisting her body all around, and basically bending in half backwards, while looking at us and smiling. My friend on the right turns to me and says “That’s so weird. Who finds that attractive?” I agree. We turn to my friend on the left to ask him what he thinks. Before we can ask, he says without turning his eyes away from the stage… “That is so hot.” To each his own, I guess. ---

> [@Debaser](#): > > It must be so much work being outraged all of the time over literally nothing. I wouldn’t know. But it’s probably not as much work as you require just to read a thread, considering that your reading comprehension is apparently not even adequate to distinguish between “being outraged” and “mentioning in passing that a certain metaphor sounds creepy”. ---

All I’ll say is, yeah, I find her damned hot, too. My wife _hates_ the ad, because of the overblown fighting between the two characters. I just watch for the scenery. 🙂 ---

My wife sent me a link to a poster of a stunningly beautiful woman, that had the tag line “Somewhere, some guy is sick and tired of her shit.” ---

In Ukraine I found it was hard to walk more than a few minutes down any street without passing at least ten women who looked as though they’d been photoshopped to perfection. So, sorry, but not impressed with the ice cream lady. ---
