A certain User here often makes disparaging by georgeha (6.00 / 3) #1 Wed Jul 07, 2004 at 02:20:48 AM EST

remarks about Kirsten Dunst, which makes me suspect his gender and Genuisoity. She's a redhead, what more do you need?

I dont think you mean me by cam (3.00 / 0) #5 Wed Jul 07, 2004 at 02:37:09 AM EST

but I am going to join in; she has a face like a bag full of spanners. I dont think she is that crash hot. Most of those hollywood women are no good. They are stick figure spiders doused in L'oreal products.

My wife is a better looker than most of the ones that get trudged along the picture screen or tv tube. I am biased, but I am fair dinkum.

She is bizarre-looking, by webwench

(6.00 / 1) #12 Wed Jul 07, 2004 at 03:05:44 AM EST

an utterly average girl. Tiny eyes overhung by enormous manbrows, freakishly wide cheekbones, an almost lipless mouth, a weak chin, and small breasts. OK by normal-human standards; not at all attractive by movie-star standards.

Which is why by Gedvondur

(5.66 / 3) #14 Wed Jul 07, 2004 at 03:53:22 AM EST

Most guys desire her. It's the very average-ness.

No guy looks at Heather Locklear and says "Wow, if I could just meet her I could ask her on a date" We all know she's WAY out of our league and so good looking that we wouldn't be able to even form whole sentences.

But Kirsten Dunst looks like the cute girl next door, and therefore, in men's fantasy, approachable.

See chameleon laying there in the sun. All things to everyone.

typical woman ratings by phred (3.00 / 0) #27 Thu Jul 08, 2004 at 02:02:47 AM EST

Women will go through all of this supposedly objective and systematic evaluations of another woman, I swear they make a detailed science of it, whereas a guy will "know her when he sees her."

Of course this also explains things like boob jobs, success of the plastic surgery industry, "womens fashion", etc...

I get this all the time, a woman will ask me what I like in a woman and (when I don't say "me"), I just say that I like a woman that makes me want to be with her.

Heh by webwench

(6.00 / 1) #28 Thu Jul 08, 2004 at 02:13:22 AM EST

I've seen enough guys with redhead fetishes or very exacting preferences for waist-to-hip ratios to know better :)

On the other hand, you know what they say about women. If a man is at a party alone, and a couple walks into the party, he will check out the female half of the couple to see if she's attractive. If a woman is at a party alone, and a couple walks in, she will check out the female half of the couple, to see how she measures up.

: I'll give you the redhead thing by phred (3.00 / 0) #29 Thu Jul 08, 2004 at 05:34:54 AM EST

Still, I've got lots of specific things on a superficial level that I think are cool and then the right woman can come along and make all of them meaningless.

Which is the rough end of a pineapple? by herbert (6.00 / 1) #2 Wed Jul 07, 2004 at 02:27:32 AM EST

One end is sort of spiky and the other is wider and more solid. I find it difficult to say which I would consider rougher.

I think the leafy end by sven (3.00 / 0) #4 Wed Jul 07, 2004 at 02:34:03 AM EST

Though it's all relative, there isn't exactly a smooth end of the pineapple.

Do an empiricial study by cam (6.00 / 1) #6 Wed Jul 07, 2004 at 02:39:27 AM EST

Stick both ends up your arse and you will have your answer. That is what the colloquilism implies, that you are getting shafted by a rough object up the arse.

Unless of course the Westralians are more sophisticated than the t'othersiders and the saying over there is genuinely about eating produce. ??

your css problem.. by infinitera (6.00 / 2) #3 Wed Jul 07, 2004 at 02:28:17 AM EST

Is that the text-decoration is from the A container, but you're applying it to img. What you want to do instead is create a class for links that have images in them and use it on those two. There's probably some more elegant selector-based way, but it's not coming to mind.

Sounds feasible, but tedious by sven (3.00 / 0) #7 Wed Jul 07, 2004 at 02:41:00 AM EST

I'm sure there's a better way. I would have thought that this bit of CSS would have sorted it out, but apparently not...

a { text-decoration:underline; font-family: sans-serif; }a img { border: 1px solid; text-decoration: none; }

I don't understand why the text-decoration:none isn't overriding the text-decoration:underline. I might have to do some experimenting tomorrow.

Thanks for your thoughts!

yes, i looked at your css by infinitera (6.00 / 1) #9 Wed Jul 07, 2004 at 02:46:24 AM EST

Since your photos are the ones being linked/causing the problem, I think that the best idea would be to change the a img text-decoration directive to:

td.photo a { text-decoration: none; }

And the reason it wasn't overriding before is precisely what I said - that's not the image being decorated. It's the A tag enclosing it. All you're doing there is saying don't decorate images within A tags, but that doesn't help you. ;-)

In the worlds before Monkey, primal chaos reigned. by Rogerborg (6.00 / 1) #11 Wed Jul 07, 2004 at 03:01:40 AM EST

Heavens sought order. But the phoenix can fly only when its feathers are grown. The four worlds formed again and yet again, as endless aeons wheeled and passed. Time and the pure essence of Heaven, the moisture of the Earth, the powers of the Sun and the Moon all worked upon a certain rock, old as creation. And it became magically fertile. That first egg was named "Thought". Tathagata Buddha, the Father Buddha, said, "With our thoughts, we make the World". Elemental forces caused the egg to hatch. From it came a stone monkey.
The nature of Monkey was irrepressible!
Monkeeeeeeeeeey!

As an American, I demand to know just exactly how we are being disparged by that word!

Tell us or Bush will bomb you. Trust me, it doesn't take much to get him to do that kind of thing.

After great consideration, Bush will be bombing Australia soon anyway.

I don't know how he missed it when he was doing the "A" countries anyway..

Oh, that's right. He can't spell.

It's not that bad...just a sort of wiki-ish dictionary type thing. Anyway, "seppo" is:
Derogertory word used by the English and Australians for all American nationals. Derived from Rhyming slang (Septic Tank = Yank)
