The Amazing Race...11/08/05

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.

…must…tape…episode…next…time

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.

But you’ve got me and rockle surrounding you here! What more could you want?

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.

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).

No, but you can bet I’ll be Googling her in 30 seconds!
