It's a warm Xmas season where I live and that's good for me. One reason is I hate cold weather, the other reason is warm weather means the ladies wear less clothing.
One thing I have noticed about myself is that there are a few things about an attractive girl that gets my head turning every time. Some of those things are:
A hot girl wearing a shirt that exposes a nice midriff...preferrably with a sexy belly ring.
Short skirts. I love a girl with great legs wearing a flirty skirt. I saw a hottie the other day wearing one with leg warmers. I don't know why, but there is something very sexy about that duo.
A great ass. Enough said.
Pretty eyes coupled with a nice smile. The two compliment each other perfectly.
What do you fellow guys (or chicks ) have a soft spot for?

This is weird, I for some reason or the other wanted to hear this song tonight and played it myself...weird. Mine was the live version not the studio. Yours?
It was studio. I don't have any live Talking Heads material.
I need to dive into more of their material. I have mainly just listened to all their hits over the years.
You have to listen to the live version then, it is much more effective. If you want a good way to hear the Heads' best get "Sand in the Vaseline", it's a good two disc set.
#1064 Re: The Sunset Strip » Britney's Bizarre Holiday weekend » 913 weeks ago
This is sad. We all are guilty of stopping to view "the wreck" but Britney's antics are a new level of pathetic. Britney makes all the other losers look like normal people. It's hard to believe she used to be hot...such a distant memory at this point. Hopefully she will turn it around before her kids end up being victimized (even moreso) by Britney's fulfillment of the inevitable "trailer trash destiny" she seems so intent on.
#1065 Re: The Garden » The NFL 2007-08 Season thread » 913 weeks ago
Good news for those of us who don't have the NFL network!
NFL: Patriots' big game can be seen by all
League announces that game, in which New England could be the first NFL team ever to go 16-0, will now be available to every TV viewer in the country.
NEW YORK (AP) -- The New England Patriots' shot at history Saturday night will be available to every television viewer in the country after months of wrangling.
Their game against the New York Giants, in which the Patriots could become the first NFL team to go 16-0 in the regular season, was originally scheduled to be shown only on the NFL Network. Fewer than 40 percent of the nation's homes with TVs receive the channel.
The league announced Wednesday that the NFL Network feed will be simulcast on GE's (GE, Fortune 500) NBC and CBS (CBS, Fortune 500). It's a major concession by league officials, who repeatedly said they would not show the game anywhere but the NFL Network. The NFL had faced mounting pressure from lawmakers in recent weeks to make the game available to more viewers.
Local TV affiliates in the Boston, Manchester, N.H., and New York areas who were already set to simulcast the game under NFL policy will still air it.
The NFL has feuded with major cable companies, who have declined to carry the network as part of basic packages.
"We have taken this extraordinary step because it is in the best interest of our fans," commissioner Roger Goodell said. "What we have seen for the past year is a very strong consumer demand for NFL Network. We appreciate CBS and NBC delivering the NFL Network telecast on Saturday night to the broad audience that deserves to see this potentially historic game. Our commitment to the NFL Network is stronger than ever."
This will be the first three-network simulcast in NFL history and the first simulcast of any kind of an NFL game since the first Super Bowl in 1967, when CBS and NBC both televised the first meeting of the champions of the newly merged National Football League and American Football League.
#1066 Re: The Sunset Strip » The Video Game Console Thread » 913 weeks ago
I got a PS3 for xmas, I'm going to get playing it tonight and I'm going to buy Assasins Creed next week.
Kicks major ass, you won't regret it. I bought the PS3 for gaming but you'll love the Blu Ray movie capability. It is amazing if you are using an HDMI to a HDTV. Pick up a used copy of Motorstorm as well. This game never gets old. Get a copy of All Pro Football 2k8 as well, it's 20 bucks at Wal-Mart right now.

#1069 Guns N' Roses » Can interest (in Chinese Democracy) be regained? » 913 weeks ago
- Gunslinger
- Replies: 26
Not to beat a dead horse...BUT...another year another letdown. Nothing new. The only way Axl could shock us now is to actually release Chinese Democracy, not the reverse. The forums are struggling to hold interest. Were it not for friendships (like the ones we share here) many of the smaller forums would be long gone. Hard to talk about what Axl's hair should look like, whether he should be wearing a bandana or not or more speculation of what the "first single" is going to be and keep the (dwindling) fans' interest. However with nothing new ever coming from the GNR camp what else can we talk about?
My question is what would it take to really spark CD interest with the fanbase again? Would more promises and supposed release dates do it? Maybe a single? Would a few more leaks work? Just looking for everyones thoughts on this.
