Excuse me stewardess, I speak Dougie Monty! OP complains about Born Again Christian doing something he didn’t like becasue she thought he was being sinful. Dougie comments how Born Again Christian actresses on Dallas portray sinful behavior, so are acting hypocritically. Dougie is trying to say “See, OP, BAC aren’t all they claim they are, in terms of being moral and good, so I’m here to support you, bro”. ---

Just make sure you bring that up early in your reaquaintance…women really like it when they are reminded of their childhood sexual attractiveness by adult pervs. ---

Man, I haven’t heard a Leona Helmsley reference in years! She was really something else. You brought a smile to my face, dougie. (and that’s probably the only time Leona Helmsley has ever made anybody smile.) ---

> [@Antinor01](#): > > Sorry, I’m lost as to what ethic you’re talking about. Sigh. It’s this sentence inside the ethic, if you want to be technical: “There are a number of guys I fooled around with at an early age.” Since **etv78** was talking about something that happened at a preschool age, it makes you sound like you were a promiscuous 6-year old. ---

People will say any dumb thing that pops into their head in order to end an interaction with someone who is being creepy and/or pushy. I once told a bunch of Lubavitchers that I was a Mormon just to get away from them. I walked away thinking “Mormon? Tha hell? Why didn’t I just tell them I was a Christian and leave it at that?” But it worked and that’s really all that mattered. > [@Dangerosa](#): > > Just make sure you bring that up early in your reaquaintance…women really like it when they are reminded of their childhood sexual attractiveness by adult pervs. Why didn’t we ever get that barfy smiley.
