kevin has replaced sex with food

(as opposed to combining costanza-style)

What's the problem with friendzone?

i find pastrami to be the most sensual of the salty cured meats.

do you get pzones in the friendzone?

dunno. all i know is i have someone making me dinner.

and that's like the best thing that's happened to me since winter.

i liked braggin 2007 because i had the first posts so i could just open it up and remember good times

CREATE NEW GOOD TIMES. THIS IS HARDMAN BRAGGIN THREAD LOL!

the best drummer, playin' on my bass drum

Girl just got home from California
House is v.v. clean

THIS close to a job a really really want

THIS close (1 wk) to becoming a qualified solicitor

^not related to the above post

whatever guys, david mamet and i roll together

nothing really bad has happened to me today

art show

Way hot Italian woman (who is 34 but looks 25 -- the best kind of cougar) possibly interested in me, or at least doesn't hate me.

had a raffle at work yesterday for some items from the boss' house. no buy in, just ask for a ticket. i got my name called and was able to choose between some random stereo equipment, speakers, directtv boxes, a laserdisc player, etc. i chose this set of speakers without knowing anything about them. as it turns out they're not just generic speakers but some crazy audiophile set with a MSRP of $2,200

caek, according to tehresa a "cougar" has to be "old enough to be your mother".

my new job rules and includes free stuff (like books, shows, movies, music, food)
and includes at least a modicum of power + work i actually like to do
and there are good people there
and i am surrounded by windows and downtown view
and it is closer to my house
and it may cause me to get an iphone sooner or later

caek how old are you, if i may ask?

27.

Please note: I have not seen this girl since September 2. My braggin was illusory at best.

Ya I was under the impression it had to be 15+ age diff?

cougar is 40+

in years

since birth

leathery 35+ y/os also count tho

I guess. Not quite got used to being in my late-20s yet.

3.5 lbs of pork slow-cookin' at home, and a girl coming over tonight to help eat it

a real live girl????

suggest ban

will probably complete medical school (tentative)

i got gum

i love gum!!!!

your favorite gum will come back in style

IF YOU ARE 27 A 34 YEAR OLD IS NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT A COUGAR JESUS F(W*$T& CHRIST YOU OGUYS

SEXIST A$$HOLE$

whoa. sexist in that "a woman who is way out of my league is interested in me" way?

at this rate i will hit on a 25-year old tomorrow and be 'omg a cougar hit on me!!!'

sexist in that a woman in her mid-30s is NOT a cougar. cougar implies old and wrinkly. as much as it pains me to agree w/ deez, the leathery thing helps that description. a beautiful woman who is 34 and hits on you is not a cougar.

ok, a hot older woman hit on me.

like, last year i was out w/ some friends and this dude was clearly interested in this chick and was talking to her ALL night and she was gorgeous, and then later i'm like 'so...?' and he's all 'oh, she's OLD' bc she had like 2 grey hairs! dude, you no spring chicken! take her, dude! she is hot and into you! why the obsession with 22-year olds who don't know wtf they are doing?

ok i'm done.

at this rate i will hit on a 25-year old tomorrow and be 'omg a cougar hit on me!!!'

perhaps you need some oil of olay

cougar implies old and wrinkly.

rong

i moisturize plenty! in fact, i have been complimented on my complexion by some dudes.

I am braggin about this, tehresa! Hot women in their 30s >> hot women in their 20s imo at the moment. I am on a major older women jag.

"who is 34 but looks 25 -- the best kind of cougar" <--- not all that serious or concerned about the definition of cougar, but you're right that it's a sexist word.

haha usually i am annoyed w/ people bein all 'that is so sexist omg!!!' but i feel like the application of the word 'cougar' to describe women is getting a little out of hand and should be reserved for actual cougars.

^^^ applies both ways, as far as I'm concerned

haha

the term cougar is sexist in itself folx

ja

^^^ braggin in the face of tragedy

getting married on saturday after several months of everything going according to fucking plan, feels like JC givin you a high five

made second (final?) round of sund4nce/sl0an commisioning grant for our science (but not scifi) film. I could use $25k right now.

can't sleep because I just had a bone fide good idea/possible scientific breakthrough

!

I know! have to wait until monday to check but, as far as PhD goes, I think this could be the big one.

not this phd could be the big phd, i mean this could be the big idea in my phd. no one else will give a shit.

must feel so good, though!

yeah def man that's super exciting

u prob just ate something weird, go back to bed

DEAR PHD: how can I hate you when you give me times like these?

(the really nice thing about this idea is that, whether it works or not, it massively increases the chances of me getting an offer from my second choice job at UT Austin)

I think my supervisor will be skeptical of this insight when he notices from the time on my last email thinking about this stuff at 2am on a Saturday night/Sunday morning. He is a bro and he knows what I usually do with my weekends.

am getting good and drunk and watching the dodgers/cubs now. don't worry, I wrote the idea down.

wait they show baseball in england? people watch it?

http://www.nasn.com/

(no one watches it)

whoa. supervisor is really excited about my idea!

New office is nextdoor-but-one to woman who plotted this graph of pulsars:

didn't someone post a jpg of someone that has a tat of that?

also can i get a large print of that for my wall, thx

Because you voted, I will dig through the literature and find it as a PDF tonight for you.

:D

ysi?

it's not in the original paper (http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v213/n5082/abs/2131214a0.html), apparently it's from the cambridge encylcopaedia of astronomy, which is not available electronically since it was published just once in 1977. luckily, oxford libraries are awesome, so I will find it and ask jocelyn for the original figure if necessary. i should have done this a long time ago, actually -- thanks for the idea!

Guys I won the fucking White House

thats pretty sweet, dude

I HOPE U DO NOT DISAPPOINT US!!!!

GOOD LUCK

I'm so good at the Tubular level on Super Mario World that I didn't even realize it was supposed to be difficult.

Dear E,

I write for two reasons. First, the grades are done and will be submitted by Dec. 15th. You scored a 95 on the exam and an A on your paper...for a final grade of A. Congrats!
My second reason is to request your permission to share your paper with 3-4 students who did not do well, at all. Would you mind if I shared it - as an example of a good paper?

Happy Thanksgiving,

Prof D.

BRAGGIN

that's an example of good braggin ; D

A+

doesn't come much sweeter than that

this has turned into quite an adventure. work in progress!

my band recorded a braggin' song

just got off a plane from Vegas to Burbank and Flavor Flav was on board too. The Southwest airlines flight crew convinced him to get on the intercom and do some freestyle raps about flying Southwest. It was corny and sweet and pretty fucking hilarious, people were kinda mobbing him and taking cellphone pictures and talking shit with him about his tv show, but man, that was a nice Thanksgiving bonus round. WAKE UP AND SMELL THE TURKEY FLAVA etc

AWESOME

that is great :D

3 hrs home and not a word yet about our muslim-in-chief

their forum is terrifying

There are a disturbing number of 20- and 30- and 40-something fans. And I google-proofed it because it was actually a work GIFT and it would be in terrible taste to re-sell.

a work gift? from a person?

No, from a department. That I work for. On that book.

well if you're afraid someone might see it on noize board you sure can't put it on ebay

I guess that's the point
