  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Although I've enjoyed going to the smoking rooms at local B&Ms It's starting to wear thin. I go to enjoy good conversation, not to:

Look at porn on were web enabled phone.
Hear in explicit detail what you would do to any semi good looking female that happens to walk into the store.
Hear what you did in bed last night to your latest date.
Hear you talk about the guy that just left and how/why he's strange.
Get dragged into your political debate. (I don't mind them going on, just leave me out of it)


I'm almost to the point I'm thinking of investing in some bose head phones, lol.

ok, rant mode off.

I hope that's not at the T at southpark. Way to ruin a good thing. I'm guessing it's a younger crowd than normal doing that.

I'm the 20 year old at the B&M, so to avoid any judgement based on stereotypes I refuse to comment on anything on that list besides politics (my minor) unless asked directly.

besides, I wouldn't want to make the guys jealous when I talk about what I did to my woman last night :rolling:...remind 'em of the good ol' days...

though I do enjoy givin' 'em hell when they talk about the limits their wives places on them.

Normally I would smoke on the back porch but it happened to be sleeting here last Saturday.

I don't mind talking to people, it just seems the topics lately have been a might low grade. It's also all ages.

Flyboy, take the bull by the horns. Engage them in discussion you are interested in. Show them who you are. Justin is right, it is normal guy talk. Well, I'm in the army so we quit being "normal" a long time ago. But, while we do talk about some very inappropriate stuff sometimes, only a nucklehead would continue to blather about stuff you arent interested in. So take the high road. Steer it where you think it should go. Be a positive change. Complaining would just remind them of the nag they went to the B&M to get away from.

i understand that this is guy talk. i can deal with a little of it in a joking manner the way guys have done for countless generations.

once it has been going on for hours on end, and turned into nothing but "bragging" i cant take it any more. leave a bit of it to imagination. have some modesty. Please realize that i (and many here) dont care how many prostitutes you were able to buy in panama last time you went.

heck,
a few of us think it is sad that you have to buy prostitutes.

dont act surprised when i dont agree with you when you ask me if it is awesome that you can have a threesome down there for $13 more.

dont look to me and laugh when you brag that you can have any girl you want.
i have the girl i want, and you know it.

I love my wife. yes, i find other girls attractive, but they mean nothing to me. dont look down on me for my fierce loyalty to the woman i love.

dont act smug about any of your over-the-top-purchased-sexual-exploits. you are not cool. you are pathetic.


however,
if you want to talk about that Camacho you are smoking, why the Browns cant get their life together, the foot of snow we have on the ground, your evening yesterday where you had a 25 kill streak on black ops, the charity work you do in your spare time, the music you listen to, or any other conversation that doesnt involve you trying to bed random prostitutes in a random country, i will be more than happy to do so.









man...
almost a thread-jack there. sorry...
