The Koniggratz Freakout
I was reading this the other day (http://www.diplomacy-archive.com/resources/strategy/articles/koniggratz.htm), I can't really understand why anyone would do that. Edi Birsan doesn't go much into why one would go with such a move, so I'm wondering if people have seen or tried it.

The Founders Are Rolling In Their Graves...At What Point Did We Forget...
...that we are NOT a Christian Nation? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQrD1ty-yzs&feature=g-vrec All that work to establish what was one of the first great secular republics in history, with a secular Constitution, and yet the Right would continue to have us believe that this is a Christian Nation. How, in the face of the violence in OTHER nations claiming alignment with one particular faith lately, can anyone even think our being a Christian Nation is a GOOD thing?

For missing the beginning of (and subsequently ruining) multiple live games over the past week or so. Clearly it's a bad idea for me to sign up for them, given that I can never remember that I HAVE. It won't happen again.

Many of you are already heard about some of my issue with FGAS in online dating (link below for the uninitiated)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4CXmrfFH88

But now they're taking it to the next level... see, if you were foolish enough to fall for the FGAS, they wait until juuuuuuust before you meet up and let you know, "Oh, tee hee, I'm so nervous, I just think you should know that I'm not a skinny-minny."

An inexperienced user of online dating services would think to himself, "Hey, that's cool, I like a healthy woman." WRONG! YOU ARE SO WRONG. Prepare yourself, fool, to meet up with a were-pig of the kind of gross corpulence normally found in the deepest levels of glutton's hell.

So what's all that got to do with guilt? Well the man who is experienced with these matters is left with 2 choices... you back out, and risk hurting the poor thing's feelings, or you go forward, and risk being devoured whole in a moment of irritation. DO NOT GO FORWARD, DO NOT SUBMIT TO GUILT. She has earned hurt feelings... as she has cleverly and deliberately misrepresented herself and laid out this scheme to trap you into the uncomfortable position in which you find yourself. Let me explain (ans waxing psychological here):

People, when trying to find a potential mate, want to present the very best face to the world (nothing wrong with this, everybody does it)

Fat women trying to find a potential mate have mastered technology and photography so that they may, if they so desire present a "best possible face" to the world that is horribly unrepresentative of the truth.

Fat women (perhaps correctly?) believe that their odds of catching a man is to hide her looks and give her "winning personality" a chance to make up the deficit, so they perpetuate the lie by omission of FGAS until the penultimate moment....

then... BAM. "Oh, by the way, you should know I'm not a skinny minny."

So tell me, who's fault is it if you say no and she feels sad and rejected? She has earned every tear she may shed for wasting your time.

Back out. Do it as nicely as you can, but do it all the same. And don't dare let yourself feel guilty about it.

That video is like a train wreck that I can't look away from.

Although, by comparison, the girl at 2:25-30 looked kinda cute... If we had to take one of those women home, I think she'd be in the top three.

I have more problems with short girls. I'm a tall guy and these girls lie pretty bad on their profiles. I show up and the girl is like 5'2 in heels.

lol SC you are joking right? I've never noticed a lie about height... but then, I like short :)
Yellowjacket (835 D(B))
30 Sep 12 UTC
tbh if somebody said 5'7" and they were 5'3" I doubt I'd even notice
SantaClausowitz (360 D)
30 Sep 12 UTC
I do, when you are tall and you are out with a short girl it feels like the oppening sequence of the Andy Griffith show. It happened to me twice, and it was more like the girl said she was 5'3 or 5'4 (which is manageable) and ended up being like 5'0 or 4'11. Before you call me shallow, a height difference of a foot and a half is very difficult, I can't hear them half the time especially if there is background noise.
Yellowjacket (835 D(B))
30 Sep 12 UTC
no, I have no intention of calling you shallow. It just never occurred to me that that would be an issue, but then I'm not 6+ feet.

1) Yellowjacket starts an "Extreme Characters" game.
2) Yellowjacket says "something's come up" and "he won't be available for awhile," and ditches the game.
3) Yellowjacket appears a day later on the forum complaining about fat girls deceiving him on dating sites.

You can't ban people, Putin. Not unless you got made a mos which is about as likely as my getting lucky with a 17 year old hottie.

Anyway, Draugnar's wife and their neighbour's wife are chatting over the garden fence...
NW: I saw your Draugnar in the bar last night chatting up that new teenage barmaid.
DW: Oh I'm not worried.
NW: You're not worried? Well I would be!
DW: No I'm not worried, he's like an old dog chasing cars; he wouldn't know what to do with it if he caught one.

Celticfox: normally this is a legitimate question, however, when FGAS is applied, the women lose that card. They know exactly what they are doing.
SpeakerToAliens (147 D(S))
30 Sep 12 UTC
What is FGAS? I assume it's an on-line dating site, but If I Google it I get links like "F-Gas regulations require the operator of stationary air conditioning or refrigeration..."
