Hi Legion World. Can't read through all this, but I see that you can't get Tamper Lad to shut up. We've only been trying for 10 years, so good luck.
This works for a while sometimes.
SHUT UP TAMPER LAD! 1996, barbarian helmet, a big bottle of vodka and no pants. Don't make me dig out the pics. (I think your new friends want to see)

Since I know for a fact that you have all the photos from those years in chronological order, I'll ask whether that occured before or after the night you became "Too Drunk to Leave Bed to Puke Lass". My filing system isn't as good as yours but I remember where I keep those photos. I believe that we have reached an understanding, haven't we??? PS. I see that your hubby just drove past the window looking for a spot so I guess its time to pack it up.

Isn't it though? However the actual photo in question is somewhat disapointing after that description.

You got drunk at a party, Tamper Lad? So what we are seeing (re: avatar) is your actual face before that blessed upchucking event?

I've never thrown up in another person's presence from the drink. My distinguished colleague, on the other hand, I won't speak for.

I know I did. (Since I don't think she'll be back round here I'll add that my colleague was not know for an iron gut back in the day ) But "I'll not speak" is one of those polite sleights that politicians use all the time. Like "with all due respect". Seriously what does that mean?

Exactly what it says, surprisingly.
The trick is trying to work out exactly how much respect the speaker thinks the target is actually due.
It's also foreshadowing that lets the audience know that the speaker is going to seriously disagree with whatever point the other person's just made.

Sometimes its easy.
1) W.A.D.R. professor, you've taught me a lot but I want to branch out into this new area of study.
2) W.A.D.R you are a convicted pedophile likely to re-offend.
But when it's:
W.A.D.R. Ambassador, our countries will have to agree to disagree.
The audience has something to think about. Usually we tune it out not even thinking about what s/he really means. I lean more to the side that they're saying "Hey donkey butt, you're a moron..."

With all due respect, shouldn't you be going home with Throbbing Boy? Don't you two have computers of your own?

Heck if I was with you all these years, parts of me would be throbbing too. (Most likely my mouth from all the times you'd smack me across it. )

You'd be lucky if she aimed high enough to hit the mouth. If it were me... well... you do the math.

YIKES, there's no stereotyping in that one AL. However studies do show there are subsets of mathematics that are favoured by the sexes respectively. Some believe that this has to do with gender role specialization going as far back as the hunter-gatherer societies. Males are generally better at spatial geometry, owing to the need to know how to hunt. Planning interception angles etc. (Note I say generally, poor Rosalind Franklin was never recognized for her X-ray crystallography work on DNA, without which Watson and Crick could never have defined the double helix. She died of cancer, from the X-ray machines no doubt.) Females seem to be better at arithmetic used most commonly in budgeting. This could be a vestige of their role in gathering and rationing goods for the family unit. So under this hypothesis the reason girls fall behind in math as they age is that increasingly math turns to algebra and geometry in high school. Of course there is an alternate hypothesis that girls only start being dumb in math in high school because guys like'em that way. Of course I've never felt that way, I've always needed a budgeting realist to balance my kooky dreamer nature.

Most of the women at the table couldn't do math well at all; however, one had an excellent head for business. I'm pretty good at basic math, but I can't balance my checkbook. I can multiply on paper faster than some people can on a calculator, but I can't apply it to finances.

I used to hang out at the engineering school a lot back in the day. Obviously women were a minority (growing though). It was interesting how many of them selected Chemical over say Electrical or Computer Engineering, (Mechanical I can understand). I don't know why but this is true at every engineering school i've visited.
Personally if I had a daughter I would strongly discourage her from the following fields. 1) Chem Eng 2) Chemistry 3) Medical Science
Funny that these are all the "soft" sciences women seem to end up. The chemical exposure in these field is horrible. Since women's reproductive cells are fixed (unlike males who constantly make new sperm) they run the risk of issues not only of their own reproductive health but health of their future kids.
Yes it's not as bad as drycleaning but its darn close.
