YOU ARE BESMIRCHING MY FINE REPUTATION.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 1 May 2003 20:03 (twenty-one years ago) link

that's not possible

Oh no! Say it ain't so!
My bro Nabisco done stole the show!
Hearty "HO HO"s fo' Ho-Ho hoes!

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 1 May 2003 20:11 (twenty-one years ago) link

YES, now in the inevitable event that I go out with Tracer's roommate, since he supposedly has dated half of Manhattan already, I will know his SECRET. "That person...HE DOES NOT EXIST!"

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 1 May 2003 20:15 (twenty-one years ago) link

But if he did, he lives above you in the fattest, whitest cloud up there...

OMIGOD GARETH IN LA = DEUS!

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 1 May 2003 20:17 (twenty-one years ago) link

But he DOES exist Ally, that's what makes it a good lie, it's like "oh you know it's just me and the boys, cause Mike's only in town for tonight." He just happens to live in Oakland so there's no chance for any corroborationalist inquiries. Ha ha you should totally go out with my roommate, he's got P1zz4 By the Inch.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Thursday, 1 May 2003 20:28 (twenty-one years ago) link

I think I have completely forgotten what a ho is at this point. So obviously it's been nothing but me and the bros. I get by. Doesn't really answer the question does it?

Gareth Deus vs. Hanle y Deus FITE!

"It was amazing! The entire line moved nothing but their right hands the entire show! And the way they all kept together! Breathtaking! UUUUUUUUUUUNGH!"

Dan you must've caught the understudies, because at the show I saw they kept their hands still and just jumped up and down in that stiff-legged way. I never thought I'd be a fan, but you just can't say no to talent like that.

― chester (synkro), Thursday, 1 May 2003 20:37 (twenty-one years ago) link

Chester, you have given me the world's worst mental image.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 1 May 2003 20:41 (twenty-one years ago) link

Man, the hell with bros before hos. Hos before bros, always. Your bros cannot be counted on to put out hardly ever.

Some of us have spent too much of our life hanging all our hopes on that word "hardly".

― Chris P (Chris P), Thursday, 1 May 2003 21:25 (twenty-one years ago) link

Hos before bros, always. Bros cannot be counted on to pull out hardly ever.

― not me (felicity), Thursday, 1 May 2003 21:29 (twenty-one years ago) link

Yeah, I'll claim that.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 1 May 2003 21:33 (twenty-one years ago) link

All my friends are hos.

― bnw (bnw), Thursday, 1 May 2003 21:44 (twenty-one years ago) link

I have no friends.

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Thursday, 1 May 2003 21:49 (twenty-one years ago) link

i don't have any friends but i have a ho, so this is all good

― jess (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 1 May 2003 22:13 (twenty-one years ago) link

Ummmm, isn't there a mass underlying assumption in the way this question is phrased, and throughout the entire discussion taking place on this thread, that one cannot for some reason have very close platonic friends of the opposite sex?

― Vic (Vic), Thursday, 1 May 2003 22:14 (twenty-one years ago) link

There was a little mention of opposite-sex friendship, but the question is phrased the way it is cause that's the saying, after all. I offer "sisters before misters" to the straight women who want to use it, and "pals before gals" to the straight men who aren't down with "hos."

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 1 May 2003 22:19 (twenty-one years ago) link

Vic go here: is it possible to have sex with a friend without ruining the friendship?

― chester (synkro), Thursday, 1 May 2003 22:21 (twenty-one years ago) link

hey I thought that was supposed to go all blue on it's own. hmph.

is it possible to have sex with a friend without ruining the friendship?

― chester (synkro), Thursday, 1 May 2003 22:22 (twenty-one years ago) link

Friends are like blue cheese. Nice occasionally, but if you have to be around them ALL THE TIME then they freaking stink. ;-)

replace "friends" with "SOs" and thats where i'm at.

― di smith (lucylurex), Thursday, 1 May 2003 22:37 (twenty-one years ago) link

Chester, I've already been *there* in more ways than one : (

anyway this is too complicated. lets go back to talking about ho-hos and cream filled pastries

― Vic (Vic), Thursday, 1 May 2003 22:39 (twenty-one years ago) link

wait, Di, does this mean you've SOed up with that chick who kept calling u?

― Vic (Vic), Thursday, 1 May 2003 22:42 (twenty-one years ago) link

Chris that was classic

― J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Thursday, 1 May 2003 22:42 (twenty-one years ago) link

oh god no vic. in fact, things seem pretty quiet on that front *wipes brow*.

― di smith (lucylurex), Thursday, 1 May 2003 22:48 (twenty-one years ago) link

whew. i was like wtf there for a moment. but hey at least you're not alone. or is it a case of too many fingers in too many pies??

― Vic (Vic), Thursday, 1 May 2003 23:07 (twenty-one years ago) link

haha neither of the above, i rock the single life totally. when i do hook up with someone, i get bored and claustrophobic.

― di smith (lucylurex), Thursday, 1 May 2003 23:11 (twenty-one years ago) link

Yeah, that Seven Minutes in Heaven game totally sucks.

"Well I don't really care what people say -
I don't really watch what them want to do -
Still I got to stick to my girls like glue
And I-man no play number two.
All I know the time it is getting dread -
Need a lotta trees up in my head -
Got a lotta damsel in my bed
To run that red"

—Sean Paul

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Friday, 2 May 2003 01:14 (twenty-one years ago) link

Yo, Tracer, hook me up with your roomie, it'd be like the worst thing that's ever happened, plus I could eat like 10 inches of pizza, BINGO!

― Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 2 May 2003 03:59 (twenty-one years ago) link

ew Ally

― James Blount (James Blount), Friday, 2 May 2003 04:22 (twenty-one years ago) link

Um, I don't know, I think he has a friend in town

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Friday, 2 May 2003 04:50 (twenty-one years ago) link

I'd sort of feel funny about getting married if I was going to put my friends *before* my husband... but I think they can happily co-exist in my life and I can spare emotional space for both. I have been in Kate's situation though; maybe there is always a dodgy period at the start of a relationship before you find the balance.

Of course it helps when your other half is not psychotically jealous, nor your friends mean-spirited and needy.

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Friday, 2 May 2003 08:54 (twenty-one years ago) link

1. Quite.

2. "Bros Before Hos" = ?

3. Dave Q = Benna Carpenter

4. that is more of a meme-question or, more still, a mememe-question

RJG, I salute you once again.

― the pinefox, Friday, 2 May 2003 10:40 (twenty-one years ago) link

bros before hos sounds like a great chicago jack track, or maybe green velvet

― gareth (gareth), Friday, 2 May 2003 11:34 (twenty-one years ago) link

Last night actually made me feel more happy about the situation. There was a conflict, and we managed to find a compromise that suited both of us. I was a little worried that I'd been too much of a pushover about it, going to HSA's thing at the ICA when I really just wanted to be down the pub with my mates. But HSA was nice, lovely and understanding about it, and even came out and made an effort to meet my friends, and even offered to go and pick up the tickets without me, if I wanted to stay and have another round.

So I'm pretty sure I'm worrying for nothing, and we're finding the balance. I hope. I did get very drunk and a bit odd on him last night, but he seemed OK with it...

― kate, Friday, 2 May 2003 11:43 (twenty-one years ago) link

gareth is otm. pinefox number 4 is too.

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 2 May 2003 11:49 (twenty-one years ago) link

somebody from Chicago would never use that phrase (we gots mad class)

― buttch (Oops), Friday, 2 May 2003 14:02 (twenty-one years ago) link

Obviously as a middle-aged Englishman I would feel like an utter twat trying to talk in these words, but...

The C family, Mark and Dr, are the voices of wisdom. There is a balance that each person finds between one and the other. My ex-wife had the odd casual friend, but they never lasted. I have had a bunch of friends who are hugely important to me for, mostly, twenty+ years. The one time I had a difficulty was after I split from my wife. I think I wanted to increase the amount of time and so on with those friends, but obviously they had their lives too, and there was limited scope, maybe limited desire too, to increase my share in them. I settled down after a while, and found a new equilibrium.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Friday, 2 May 2003 17:22 (twenty-one years ago) link

Hahaha, Martin Skidmore is all sexually reticent about saying "hos."

― nabisco (nabisco), Friday, 2 May 2003 17:27 (twenty-one years ago) link

Let's not forget the female equivalent of this is "chicks before dicks".

I think Gareth is right upthread. The key to happiness is balance among all elements of life. I *hate* being dissed by friends for their lastest bedmates but I'm sure I've been guilty for it in the past. What's sad though is how much more forgiving some women can be of this crime by fellow women. As in, "well of course she's choosing her BF over us. BFs are *so* much more important." CRAP!

― That Girl (thatgirl), Friday, 2 May 2003 17:36 (twenty-one years ago) link

Chicks with dicks before bros with hos.

― Chris P (Chris P), Friday, 2 May 2003 18:13 (twenty-one years ago) link

It's not sexual reticence, Nabisco - it's the kind of slang it is. As a middle-aged English white guy, it is so alien that it feels absurdly false to say it. The bros part as much as the hos.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Friday, 2 May 2003 20:35 (twenty-one years ago) link

Martin, I thought the absurd phoniness of using such terms was a given for many, if not most, of us.

― Rockist Scientist, Friday, 2 May 2003 21:21 (twenty-one years ago) link

I feel left out.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 2 May 2003 21:22 (twenty-one years ago) link

Yeah, probably, and I can cope with some slang that in no sense belongs to me, but this is too distant in culture, time, geography, sensibility, everything, that it feels too forced. Sorry, I was initially trying to do that in a jokey way (about middle aged English stiffness) rather than make any point about the terminology or anything like that. I am doing a lousy job of being light tonight, for some reason, but that's another story.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Friday, 2 May 2003 21:43 (twenty-one years ago) link

Hey, Martin, Jerry the Nipper said "fo shizzle" TWICE on AIM this morning. If he can become comfortable with that, you certainly can get used to "ho" and "bro"..
