Things Bob Actually Does Know About Women #27
or, The Math of Phone Numbers
- where x is the number of girls for whose phone numbers you ask...
- where K is the percentage of the same-age dating population left over after you weed out the emotionally disturbed, chronically chemically-addled, intellectually unsatisfying, personality-challenged, and essentially unavailable persons...
- where y is the percentage of people who maintain their attractiveness in the harsh light of day, away from free-flowing drinks and neon beer lights...
- where z represents the rate of people who will either give you a crap number, screen your call out, or never answer your message...
- where b represents the likelihood that, all things being equal, either of you will continue to show interest at the time of this follow-up call...
- where 2 is considered to be the random-weirdness-that-can-screw-anything-up-where-dating-is-concerned factor...
Given all of this, the odds of successfully attaining a date based on a phone number attained at a bar can be expressed by the following equation:
Assuming K to be .85, figuring y to be around .5 (although it may be considerably higher if you drink heavily, or slightly lower if you don't drink at all), estimating z to be around .15, and putting b at around a two out of three chance...
Going by those numbers, you need to ask for about twelve numbers for every date you expect to get.

I almost made some cinnamon rolls this a.m., but decided instead to do my father-in-law's taxes. What a choice.

Bizarre. That's where my settings are, and, knock on wood, not problem one for quite some time now.
Don't let me mess up your system, but, how long has it been since you've restarted the machine?
Good luck with it, TO.

Have y'all heard that "Ceegar Guy" was badly wounded in Falujah?!
Staff Sgt. Nick Popadich of the 3rd Battalion, 4th Marines Regiment, smokes a cigar while standing on top of his tank, as he arrives at a main crossroad in downtown Baghdad.
Popaditch served in the first Gulf War and his unit was the first to roll into Firdos Square the day Baghdad was liberated. After his unit returned home last year, he requested transfer to another unit so he could go back to Iraq and he ended up in the battle of Falujah. He will likely lose his right eye.
What a hero! I always imagined in that photo that a wanker human shield had just yelled "yankees go home!" before he laughed and blew smoke in her face.
TexKat got in touch with his mother and now has addresses for cards to Gunny Sgt. Popaditch and his family. You can email her at paspop2004@yahoo.com if you'd like to write.
There's a thread Here

This is a MUST READ. (And it's even called the EasterBlogg)...
An Alternative History
(excerpted)
...On August 7, 2001, Bush... ordered the United States military to stage an all-out attack on alleged terrorist camps in Afghanistan. Thousands of U.S. special forces units parachuted into this neutral country, while air strikes targeted the Afghan government and its supporting military. Pentagon units seized abandoned Soviet air bases throughout Afghanistan, while establishing support bases in nearby nations such as Uzbekistan. Simultaneously, FBI agents throughout the United States staged raids in which dozens of men accused of terrorism were taken prisoner.
Reaction was swift and furious. Florida Senator Bob Graham said Bush had "brought shame to the United States with his paranoid delusions about so-called terror networks." British Prime Minister Tony Blair accused the United States of "an inexcusable act of conquest in plain violation of international law." White House chief counterterrorism advisor Richard Clarke immediately resigned in protest of "a disgusting exercise in over-kill."
Bush justified his attack on Afghanistan, and the detention of 19 men of Arab descent who had entered the country legally, on grounds of intelligence reports suggesting an imminent, devastating attack on the United States. But no such attack ever occurred...
It's perfect satire.

Pulling for Stewart today - can't wait until it starts! Should be a great round. My heart goes out to Mickelson - he needs a great win like this, but if Cink makes his move, my heart's with him. Got my fingers and toes crossed, Timeout -- E
Happy EASTER!

I'm just quoting a 50+ female friend. I haven't dated anyone for over 12 years, and have not dated a fella who is over 33 yrs of age.
