RANT: Aqua-beowulf puts you in an Olive Garden

[Defiant1]

One study conducted of women's personal ads support the existence of this preference; the study found that in ads requesting height in a mate, 80% requested a height of 6.00 feet (1.83 m) or taller.[51] The online dating Website eHarmony only matches women with taller men, because of complaints from women matched with shorter men

In defense of shorter guys, women who care alot about height are often fairly tall, so there is a statistical bias there.

I'm not saying that height doesn't matter; I'm just saying it is not as dismal as that stat. might initially seem.

Like a woman can really tell the difference between 5'10 and 6'

I agree though, it's usually women who are like 5'7"-5'8" who are worried about wearing high heels. 6 feet is as arbitrary as "200lbs" as far as "levels" go

If I wanted to have a basically new luxury vehicle (never older than three years) I would probably lease it. I leased a twin turbo 335xi for three years.

Poor man's M3.

Over here a new M3 costs $150,000 US, or about 3x what it costs there. If they cost $50K we'd all be driving one.

Hmm, let's see.

I am majoring in physics and cognitive science, and if I'm not as smart as I give myself credit for I most certainly pity you, kind sir, for the pitiful IQ you're in possession of.

Not a virgin.

And guess what? I'm 55 pounds smaller than you and would beat your ass in a fight. The pleasure I'd get from doing so would be astronomical, too.

It really is rather shocking how immature you are for a 30-year-old.

I dont care what you say. My wilks is still higher than yours.

I just ordered a kangaroo leather cowboy hat (black) from Amazon.com.

I don't care much about height.

Taller than me=good. By 3 inches or 9, it doesn't matter much (at least, not consciously. Who know's what my cavewoman brain is doing without my knowledge?)

Shorter than me=uh... I don't think I've met one of those guys, yet.

Nor should you. Manlets should be able to approach a short woman and feel confident about their chances.

[Defiant1]

Do you guys eat Bald Eagle?

no but I eat Bald Beaver.





















































tastes like chicken.

[darinaldi]

Do you guys eat Bald Eagle?

I can't imagine it would taste good. Also, it was on the endangered and threatened list up until 2007.

Seriously. Why limit your options unnecessarily?

After a few drinks I would use that against you.

Women who worry about height usually exaggerate.

"ZOMG, hiz pen0r iz hyoOge."

You know the difference between a BMW driver and a porcupine are?




























On a porcupine the prick's on the outside!

Never had it and I could kill one if I wanted to. I hear it tastes like chicken though. Roo is pretty good, kinda like venison here.

[SquatTilYouDrop]

I like where this conversation is going.


*stirs the girly umbrellas drink once more*


*And samples another akunthentic imported Italian delight from Olive Garden.

Damn, those bread sticks are moist and oh so gooooy.

Yeah they're like roaches on the Bohemia/Sassafras.

No argument that BMW drivers are the worst but I've always had a soft spot for the M3.

Wasn't really serious about eating Bald Eagles but you've got to admit it is weird that we've got our national symbol in the meat section of supermarkets

Odds are. So greater than 50%? Google "buy vs lease" .

But to make it easy, here is what Edmunds says: http://www.edmunds.com/car-buying/co...-used-car.html

Here's more: http://www.smartmoney.com/calculator...1302833645461/

Good advice. Here is a snip from the FIRST article I found when I googled "buy vs. lease":

"The question you have to ask yourself is, 'Is there a special reason I need a new car every few years?' " says Art Spinella, president of *** Marketing Research in Bandon, Ore. "For most consumers, the answer is no."

But maybe you're in the minority. Maybe your answer is yes.

http://www.cars.com/go/advice/Story....story=buyLease

So YES, GREATER than 50%. That would mean that if it makes sense to lease a car you would be in the MINORITY. As the article suggests.....

Also this:

Conclusions
It's clear that in the long run, leasing is the most expensive way to drive. Here's how leasing compares to the two ownership scenarios:

Thanks for playing.

Don't worry man, we all make mistakes. The sooner you realize that you are an idiot for leasing a car the better, that way you won't make the same mistake again in the future.

[GeneralSerpant]

Yeah, as I was saying, some are sampled a lot, either just a common beat for people to try their hand at or in your example of Rapper's delight, they're usually covering at least part of teh song. That is more an ode to the greats.

And as far as echoing rap battles, it would probably be more common between the likes of your two examples or in the dirty south/east coast, but lil wayne in particular stepped more into the mainstream spotlight, and his fan-base is a little different. Then as we agreed, it's sort of based on the understanding between the two.

Where does it say that one is an "idiot" more than 50% of the time if you lease? Oh that's right...you can't back that up. Can you even seriously pull an *implication* out of what you read?


Nice try. Taking it out of context. That was ONE QUOTE. And was not stated as the ONLY condition under which one would lease.


I guess you didn't read though. Oh well, guess your confirmation bias got the best of you.


Sorry I popped you spouting off about something you know nothing about apparently. Next time think before you post.

[Final_Rep]

Their drivers aside, BMW vehicles truly are great to drive. I prefer them to Mercedes or Lexus for the drive though often I like the aesthetics of Mercedes a little more.

Mean spirited posting gives me the jollies.....

Peter McLeasytalk, consider this:

The way salesmen in the industry sell it, and the way the numbers break down over future expenses, it's very hard to be able to tell whether or not *your specific situation* is good for leasing or buying. Sure, you can pull up statistics and quote internet e-experts from cars.com, but all of that is a huge stretch from proving the majority of leasing customers are "idiots". There are so many subjective factors, much of them based on your personal choice, that calling the majority of people who choose to lease "idiots" is the pot calling the kettle black.
