    Since 2535 is off the grid, I'll jump in. The next milestones in your sights are 708 and 724, but I'll keep them a surprise and let you look them up yourself if so inclined.

    P.S. And I know what you mean, but let me tease anyway: If you're not a person now, are you imaginary or some kind of space alien?

    I'm just a cyberspace figment of your imagination.
    I knew someone would bite on that comment. Thanks for not disappointing me.

    CFOYIs are very real. This conversation is proof that they exist.

    All we've proven is that we can move pixels areound. This post could have been written by a robo-spammer... The definition of reality is not a challenge I think I can handle...

    EDIT: OOOH! I'm Bobby Hurley... How's THAT for unreality?

    I will stop and savor for a while... DIK, I hope you don't mind pushing on to 708 without me...

    Is this getting into the "I think therefore I am" territory? The reason I never took philosophy. I'm a numbers person.

    Congrats on the Bobby Hurley status - I'll keep working on the 708. Thanks for the draft.

    This is a plain unadulterated example of PW'ing. As this is my 1800th post, I wanted to put it on the LTE. Wonder who I'll be with this post.

    P.S. Apparently I'm no one special. Well, no one special the book of Duke basketball statistics.

    You are special. And I'm not just saying that to increase my post count and try to find out who I'll be at 708.

    eta - I'm Tommy Amaker - I'll enjoy this for a while. If I knew how, I'd do 2535's job and put a screen shot on the appropriate thread.

    Yes - it does amaze women b/c most (like Tilly) rarely put any thought into it and most men don't take the time to actually UNDRESS their women - which is a whole other subject unto itself.

    I normally feel like James Bond when I do it and I get that "wow - you're talented and experienced" look from a female. But it's really SO simple once you understand the mechanics behind it.

    Women normally have to put their hands behind their backs and it makes it more difficult for them but for another person it's child's play b/c there is very little awkard arm positioning for the undoer (just made that word up)...

    To elaborate, there are one, two, three, and four hook bras and the number of hooks is a good indication of how big the package is you're unveiling.

    They can be in the front but it is rare. Front loaded hooks are typically for smaller women and evening wear/dresses of some type.

    Man - I actually could go on but I'll stop here. It would be all to easy to go into the material types (wire vs. plastic) and things of that nature.
    Shoot, if a mod is discussing it, why not?

    1 hook=2 fingers (actually, 1 finger and the very valuable opposable thumb)
    2 hooks=3 fingers (once again, 2 fingers and that very valuable thumb)
    3 hooks=10 fingers (including thumbs) and probably a crowbar for additional leverage
    4 hooks=beats the heck outta me. I've never had the opportunity/pleasure/challenge.

    I had best stop there.

    Perhaps not, but we're making quite the effort.

    You must be finished with your reading. How was it? Did anyone throw a cup of ice at you?

    Much better than merely acceptable. And Ymo, I'm giving up Christian Laettner to post this so it must be true. Don't listen to the playwright, especially when they've written an autobiographical piece. There are infinitely many right ways to play a role, you picked one of them and did it. No, you weren't exactly the guy the playwright had in mind, but unless we're digging up the actual guy, nobody else is either. What were the three words I had to choose from? I'll go with masterful. Plus, you gave the director exactly what she asked for, so there.

    Hope you enjoyed the experience and I'm sorry I didn't get to talk to you more afterwards. Feel free to spill the beans on my acting ability, ha! Or my way of running a discussion session.
