#1 The truth hurts. I predict a withering response, or more likely, no response at all as "they" try to keep the book and its dangerous ideas as obscure as possible.

#2 "An a whale of a tale and a whale or two,
on a day like this with the sky of blue,
A whale of a tale, and it's all true,
I vow by my tattoo.

#3 So Ms. Lotp, our daughter, has a small business designing avatars etc. for other people in Second Life. She tells hilarious stories about the guys who demand well-endowed avatars that just oooze testosterone. And whose voices, when she chats with them via streaming audio, suggest pimpled faces and furtive one-person sex in the bathrooms of dorms and cheap apartments.

Let's see: wannabe tough guy vs, say, Todd Palin. Or Mr. Lotp.

Nope, gonna pass on the book I think.

#4 Moore himself has never married, has a girlfriend of two years, an 11-year-old son from a previous relationship and says he has never found true love.

Are you guys sure it isn't satire? I mean, if this actually worked, wouldn't he have supermodels lining up at the door instead of the child support enforcement agents?

#5 I was going to write something, but lotp covered it beautifully. Congratulations to Ms. lotp's on her creative application of the small business model!

Oh, and I'll take the gentlemanly and studly Mr. Wife over that cad, Mr. Moore. (Is there something about the name that brings out the worst in men?)

That depends on how much he makes with the book.

#8 Since about 80-90% of the "thin, beautiful" women nowadays won't settle for less than a six figure salary and obedience from the earner of said salary, it seems unlikely in the extreme that a guy like this is in any position to make demands.

#9 it seems unlikely in the extreme that a guy like this is in any position to make demands.

#11 >em>What have you got against Gary? Or Roger/

Roger Moore did do some amusing films, Nimble Spemble, but I don't know anyone named Gary Moore.

#14 The man is still writing with his little head. Food and sex will get a relationship going but it won't hold it together. Mutual appreciation is the glue that holds them together over the long run. It's held together by small but constant reminders of that appreciation over the months and years. It's also the extended droughts and absence of those expresses done hundred different ways that is the ultimate Chinese water torture that destroys relationships.
