So, hang on. NY women always say there are no straight single men in the city. In winter, all the women migrate, leaving the city full of gay men and lonely husbands? It sounds awesome.

It's true. We all flock to Brazil for several months.

― Allyzay Science Explosion (allyzay), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 18:29 (nineteen years ago) link

gay men, lonely husbands, and like us dorks. Altho actually I think maybe married women stick around, I'm not sure.

t.v. dinner consumption skyrockets, and most men don't bother getting out of their pajamas.

well see okay that just sounds like my normal routine, regardless of season. Esp. when I'm unemployed.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 18:35 (nineteen years ago) link

please don't imagine that.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 18:37 (nineteen years ago) link

mmm unemployed

I've always wondered where the women go during winter, too.

The expression on her face is giving me the fear.

this thread gave me a flashback to college during that 'first day of warm weather' when all the girls immediately bust out the suggestive clothing..

― bill stevens (bscrubbins), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 19:13 (nineteen years ago) link

"flashback" is what they're calling it now?

Sometimes on these days, I make sure to take the route to work that goes through Northwestern U.

i like winter. i have a cute hat lined with bunny fur.

― lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 19:20 (nineteen years ago) link

On "that day" of summer y'all are talking about, me and this other pervy old man for the past couple years have a spot on UK campus that is ostensibly a "park" where we pour 40s of malt liquor into 44 oz. soft drink cups and sit and drink OE while playing songs on out of tune guitars while watching said summer clothed ladies from the shadows of our sunglasses. We are soooo sneaky hyuck hyuck.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 19:23 (nineteen years ago) link

you know so much fun is being made of you, right?

― lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 19:28 (nineteen years ago) link

I think part of Nickalicious's charm is surely the fact that not only does he totally know this, he embraces it.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 19:30 (nineteen years ago) link

hstencil just told me that sounds mean. i meant it more affectionately than viciously. sorry.

― lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 19:31 (nineteen years ago) link

Women are so hard to read.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 19:31 (nineteen years ago) link

from a guy, I could take this criticism. From a girl, I'd give up after hearing it.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 19:31 (nineteen years ago) link

i was playing with my hair when i typed that.

"Is she kneeing me in the balls more affectionately or viciously, I wonder?"

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 19:32 (nineteen years ago) link

N.B. I have never been kneed (kneeed?) in the balls by a woman.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 19:33 (nineteen years ago) link

One of the songs we play is "We Are The Champions".

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 19:33 (nineteen years ago) link

Then we play the opening riff from that one Led Zeppelin song that goes "hey lady, got the love I need" over and over again for like 45 minutes while mesmerized by ass.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 19:35 (nineteen years ago) link

this just gets worse and worse.

FLIMSY HIPPIE ASS SUNDRESSES ARE STUPID AND LAME.
-- Allyzay Science Explosion (alk210...), August 10th, 2004. (later)

Sorry, Ally, but you are incorrect. Sundresses are hot in general, but I will do anything for a girl wearing one of pale yellow. So beautiful. So see through.

― Ian c=====8 (orion), Wednesday, 11 August 2004 01:51 (nineteen years ago) link

Dude, I think amateurist is right though, skirt+shirt is way hotter, and hotter still are those geisha girl dresses.

― Allyzay Science Explosion (allyzay), Wednesday, 11 August 2004 01:52 (nineteen years ago) link

Dud dud dud. It's usually ultra-skinny, flimsy girls wearing them anyway.

― C0L1N B3CK3TT (Colin Beckett), Wednesday, 11 August 2004 01:55 (nineteen years ago) link

I guess I don't dislike the sundress as much as I dislike all it implies.

― C0L1N B3CK3TT (Colin Beckett), Wednesday, 11 August 2004 01:55 (nineteen years ago) link

Dude, nothing beats a pale yellow sundress; sorry. Skirts are hot, I guess, depending on the length/pattern/style. Some women can pull off long flowing hippy skirts whereas others should show as much leg as possible. The geisha girl dresses? I'm not entirely sure what you're talking about.

Also, I'm kind of disappointed this hasn't turned into a picture thread yet.

― Ian c=====8 (orion), Wednesday, 11 August 2004 01:56 (nineteen years ago) link

And by "all it implies", I mean "Mischa Barton".

is there a name for the dress that maggie wears in that photo?

It's called a cheongsam, and is associated with China/Taiwan/Hong Kong. Geishas are Japanese, so they would wear a kimono.

I don't think anyone ever mentioned that the type of dress Maggie Cheung is wearing in the "In the Mood for Love" poster is called a cheongsam.

In case anyone was still wondering, ya know...
