He remembered to appreciate having a woman.  He planned to hire the friendship of one this very evening.

 

What was the prompt on this anyway?

Nah, there were too many disagreements. Utah refused to get the implants. And I think we've established that as a bare minimum for me.

I have standards dammit.

Shit, I should have saved that video for the tournament.  Think it's lost all its mojo now, or would it help me against Richard?  Shit, it's all blind voting, so it wouldn't matter.

Utah refused to get the implants.

And for everybody's information, Utah didn't refuse to get the implants.  Utah just refused to jump right to DD.  I felt a nice C-cup would make for a smooth transition, but nooooooo.  Nick is a breastist, and C just wasn't good enough.  If I remember a direct quote, it went something like, "If it doesn't take two hands, it's not worth my time." 

Sure, I can meet the criterion, just not with breasts.  Yet.  But somebody never learned patience.

I saw a woman on My Strange Addiction who had 22 breast enhancement surgeries.  She got triple M's.  Would you date a woman who had tripple MMM's or is too much of a good thing bad?

Yes, this is a test of your superficiality and yes, Jessica is watching.

In that case I'm not going to dignify it with a response, except to comment that it's a silly question.

But, more interesting, the absolute thrashing I am recieving up there.

Shoulda gone funny instead. 

Ha! Doesn't matter, I have a week to figure out a way to cheat!

@Alien That's too much....WAY too much boob. Besides there is an old saying from back home: dating/marrying a woman for the way she looks makes about as much sense as eating a bird for how beautifully it sings...

Yeah, you want to be attracted to your woman, and you really want to want her, but in the end, if you two don't get along then what is there? Just someone to keep you from being alone? Not good enough, if you two don't click then there really isn't anything there except your own cowardice locking you in the relationship. My opinion though..

Hi guys, there's still like 5 days for this right? I've read and reviewed Nick's final already, but I was trying to do the same with Utah's today and all letters started to mix up and the story soon looked like porridge in a blender. Doin' it tomorrow, k? There was this carnival thing yesterday and it looks like it's bearing on me more than I expected.

Also, I guess they put something in my wine and I love everybody now, or maybe it's still the toxo, anyways, I wouldn't be able to vote cause I'd vote for both, so, yeah. Tomorrow. K?

I'm glad.  I thought we were going to have another uncomfortable conversation where you started talking about "feelings" and I'd have to be like, "Look, this isn't the place," and then you'd tell me that "we need to talk"...

Better if it's more of a group thing.  Then it just stays playful.

Alright, I'm not going to see this thing start the last 24 hours of it's life on page 2.

That's exactly what Utah wants.

So, maybe you're coming to this thread today for the first time. Maybe you aren't sold on the lame humor of a Monty Python knockoff, with all that Terry Gilliam animation interaction with Real Life crap. (goddammit, I'm trying to talk shit, the story still sounds awesome).

Well, maybe you'd prefer something more serious, something real.

Sure, Utah stole my prison element and stuff, but he didn't know how to use it. He took the simplest utility from it (delayed time) and left the rest on the husk. My story is about how environment dictates character, it's about being institutionalized. It's about more than "just business."

So, hey, that one sounds cool too now, hey vote for that one. Pull for the underdog.

And also the spectre of death.

But dude you're a great sport.  If I have to I'll send someone over to your house to give you a very uncomfortable hug.  Homeless guys will do just about anything for a bottle of Maddog 20/20.  Including spreading the love.
