You don't think it's a little bit weird to talk about how beautiful a girl is and go on to explain that she's like all of the girls you hung out with when you were her age, and describe her as weird and intelligent, when in fact you've only ever seen a preview of a movie she's in? Takes a little bit of fantasizing to infer all of that about a person by the fact that she plays a clever little girl and wears eyeshadow.

Only if you're sexualizing your childhood, which I wasn't.

I only said that was the kind of girl I used to hang with when I was a kid.

Never said a damned thing about sexuality.

What kind of girl? Actresses?

Subsequent comments were based on appearances in several movies, not on just that trailer.

But I'm pretty much resigned to the fact that some boarders are going to think whatever they want, so I'll just choice my words more carefully from here out.

It's nonsense, but there ya go.

Even if it was based just on a trailer there would be nothing wrong with it. Frostingspoon, apparently unlike you, has an imagination that isn't solely obsessed with sex. There *is* room for other things in the male mind, contrary to popular belief.

Right, but inferring aspects of someone's personality based on characters that they play in movies requires a little more rumination than simply an observation that a person is pretty.

And thank you for your enlightening thoughts on the male mind. I've clearly been obsessed with sex. Now that my mind is freed, I'll start looking out for pretty little girls and telling their parents, "your daughter is beautiful, and just from looking at her, I can tell she's the sort of intelligent, weird kid I always hung out with at her age." That will go over well with them, right?

Whatever the impetus, that Lemony Snicket thread was pretty creepy.

Going up and talking to their parents might be a bit much. Reminiscing about when you were a kid on a message board though?

I mean... I'm only 23, but sometimes I'll see a girl who reminds me of a girl I had a crush on in high school, and I'll notice how pretty they are.

When you think back on your high school days, you are disgusted by the girls you thought were pretty back then? I doubt it.

And the honorable self restraint to wait until she's 18 to "talk about hot or not hot".

It must be "that time of the month" for the obner board again.

I swear you guys go through this crap once a month.

Frankly I think all guys are creepy. But I love you anyways.

Anyway, I'm not saying I think Frosting is actually a perve. I was just confused by the reality/movie line he seemed to be blurring when he started talking about her personality based on her roles in movies. I know he isn't actually ogling the girl.

That Lemony Snicket girl does have some serious soup coolers though.

The Honourable Senator gets it. She's only fourteen, but all the while under her parents' dollar-watching eye, she's been turned into a living, breathing blow-up doll. Now, just get a little liquor in a Republican donor, and, WHABAM!, girl's four-on-the-floor.



Ditto 'the inspiration'. Fourteen, fifteen, sixteen years olds, kids in high-school, with JoJo posters on their walls, that's cool.

... Anyway, fourteen is the wrong age to be a Republican. I can see, maybe, her singing at the 2000 RNC in Philly, because she was ten, and liable to follow the politic choices of her parents. But, by fourteen, she should be rebelling, getting into the Zapatist movement, all about freedom (of speech, religion, sexuality (i.e. GLBT, etc., friendly and starting the high-school gay-straight alliance), etc.. That means she should be a Democrat, at least, if not a Libertarian or Green.

Yup.

Well, that's all cleared up then.

yeah i've been watching Arrested Development and i thought that the teenage daughter was kinda hot but when i found out she's really 14...



oh and haq, check out the fine ass titties on this little dead fetus.

You lie down with dogs, you wake up with fleas.

i mean, i feel uncomfortable about this myself, but am i not mistaken that this wasn't always the case for "society," even in post-colonial times? hell, the age of consent in lots of western european nations is near that age, if not 14 exactly, which always kinda freaked out the american in me.

anyhow.

jojo?

Meta-thread?

Is that Stephen Malkmus?

Do lecherous Baltimoran Republicans*, just-turned-teen song sensations, and educated yucksters meet here?

* A coupla years ago, a suburban Baltimore father and planner for Newt Gingrich's Contract (and other Congressional Repub activities) was charged with having sex with two sixteen years old girls, and photographing the acts. Among his pre-arrest political ops: putting the heat on the House to impeach, and Senate to indict, Clinton, for his wanton affair with someone just a girl.

Delgaudio was from NoVa, but he was caught and convicted in Charm City.

I thought my memory of the comeuppance [sic] was flawed. But, I couldn't find anything when I Googled [sic] "Republican operative charged with having sex with two 16 years old girls" --- erm, nothing related to the case. I got a lot of porn-site hits, though.
