Alison, this would go great with that librarian outfit of yours, eh? ooh-la-la!

^^^ Gross.

Alison has a librarian outfit?!?!?! Pics or it didn't happen. (By that I mean I just wanna see pictures.)

I think she borrowed it from Courtney, along with the umbrella.

@frankieb, @ScrumYummy: Great job not sounding like clichéd jackasses, guys.

That bad? ouch!

@Erik: great job not sounding like the white knight in shining armor that desperately needs to protect the helpless women. Women need men to protect them with their words! We can't think of words ourselves!!

Psh. If Alison wants to come in here and request that she not be objectified, I will stand by her right to do it, but for fuck's sake acting like a righteous asshole isn't going to earn you boy scout points. Fuck off.

Erik is a good guy...
but I am thinking now about that men without shirts (Bikes?) calandar that was put forth here recently.
But if I offended Alison, hey sorry. Just joshin' your shorts.

Oh please. Erik is my friend, that's why he's sticking up for me. I'd do the same for him, and have done.

Oh wait... AM DOING:

Being objectified for the sake of a lame punchline is in the fine print of the job description of every woman who writes for the Internet. It is also very boring. If a dude friend wants to get mad about it once and a while, great. Erik's got every right to object to his friends being kicked around. It's not condescending; it's being a pal.

oh, and Frankie: i'm actually not offended, but let's be clear: if this post had included a shirtless photo of me (or hell, let's be charitable—any mention of sex whatsoever!) that comparison might apply. It doesn't.

You lost me at "dude friend."

Well, I kinda thought of the Merc as a equal opportunity objectifier to both men and women - and it may have been lame, but the literary critic writes an article about a perfume (used to allure, right?) that smells like old books... and well, it seemed funny at the time.
I'll admit I'm none too sophisticated in my attempts at humor though.
Sorry Eric felt the need to defend you, or you him.
I didn't intend to be boorish.

misguided attempts at humor are our bread and butter :)

Please wait...
