I didn’t notice. And while I like to think of myself as a curious, aware, in-touch-with-my-surroundings kind of guy, I’m not really all that disappointed that I didn’t notice. ---

Yeah, it wasn’t all that pretty, so you’re forgiven. (And I didn’t mean to imply that _you personally_ were one of the pervos, either.) ---

No, I’m definitely not. Although I do wonder if the boards are more fun once you have some sort of reputation. ---

Yeah, it’s not like all views are created equal, y’know? If you had missed this same feature on one of the younger, hotter females, I could see how you might be disappointed. Here, though, you dodged a bullet. ---

Well, my disappointed wasn’t really based on any quality assessment of the alleged anatomy in question; that just seems like a vaguely skeevy thing to notice on anyone. (No offense, **rockle**.) I hate to think of myself as someone who would ever, in even the remotest way, encourage ignorance, but my curiosity has limits. Plus the fact that “vaguely skeevy” won’t even get you noticed around here. ---

An excellent point, and it is my great pleasure to be on a board, and in a thread, with both of you. But despite 3,000 posts I’m not terribly well recognized around here. ---

> [@Robot Arm](#): > > (No offense, **rockle**.) None taken, believe me. Listen: it’s not like I _wanted_ the free show. As it were, when Rachel Weaver was going _on_ about how classless everyone else was, I got a phone call and happened to hit the Pause button at just the right point. Or wrong, as the case may be. Depends on your perspective, I 'spose. In any case, my first reaction was, “Eww! That’s _triflin’_!” And then I realized what she was actually _saying_ just then, and I saw the irony of the situation. I don’t normally notice things like that, and I certainly don’t _look_ for them. It’s not like we need even _more_ reasons to dislike the Weavers, you know? (Although, at the same time, I _am_ kind of a bitch, and I went to Catholic school, so I _definitely_ have a dirty mind and a filthy mouth, so I guess I’m not 100% surprised that I _would_ notice something like that. The moral of the story is: Always wear size- and figure-appropriate pants when you know Dopers might be watching. Also, bras in public, please! And _conditioner!_) ---

I get it. It’s easy for me to say, “But _I_ notice you” but not really take into account all of the other registered memebers since I’ve actually met you and all. **rockle** , have you ever read anything by Laurie Notaro? You remind me of her. (That’s a compliment). ---
