#3 You guys are so unhip it's a wonder your asses don't fall off. This thing dates from back in '97, if not earlier.

But apart from that, which sex is supposed to have received the jibe here? The fellow who posted it signs himself "ageing misogynist", so I'm guessing it's supposed to be the woman. Guess you he-men missed the point that the man's story is every bit as wretched as the woman's, being a childish testosterone-fueled fantasy.

Having said that, I would rather be dragged over carpet tacks and dipped in rubbing alcohol than read the story of Laurie and her damned tea. Reminds of Barbara Kingsolver. Give me the Anu'udrian death ships any day. "Congress Passes Law Permanently Abolishing War and Space Travel" is one of the all-time great lines, though. I think of it every time I hear someone say something like, "The best way to solve problems is not to have enemies."

#4 Angie - Oooh - you're mean, lol! Be gentle with us, K? Just because you've seen it before, and we haven't, doesn't make us un-hip - the Internet is one big mofo place!

And I didn't give a hoot about who was right or wrong or any sex angle - just two people who have no Life Venn Diagram intersection!

Y'know, I can picture you commanding an Anu'udrian death ship blasting Congress, lol! I'd be happy as hell to be your First Mate! *please?*

Yar! We be space pirates! Congress, Shmongress -- first we'll plunder the fabulous gems of the Corundum Cluster, and then I'll drop you boys off at Planet Playmate for some R&R while I stay up in orbit and ... uh ... guard the loot. That's it, guard. Not steal, no. Guard.

#6 How devious! Knowing full well that we'll miss the return shuttle! 20 or 30 times! Ah, you're a True Pirate - and Yellowbeard would be proud of yer!

Besides, Dear Captain, I remember how we were recuited! Yer a wily one, y'are - offering what we can't resist! Arrrggghhh!

#7 Sheee-it, don't y'all know it takes about eight years fer that internet thingamie to filter through to down here? We 'aint completely squaresville, though, daddy-o, we've gotten on to these hip duds called flares, and that cool band the Bee Gees came from here. Once. A while back. BTW the contrubutor was an ageing misogynist, not the poster. I'm ten years younger, and consider myself a misanthropist rather than a misogynist- I hate men as much as women. And cats. And call yerself pirates? Even our homosexuals are pirates. Bloody lily-livered limey landlubbers.

#8 I've seen it before, but this is a classic. Truly a source of innocent merriment. I enjoyed how both sides degenerated into one liners. Almost precambrian. LOL!

#11 I like Gary's story better. I'd rather watch oil paint dry than read anything like Rebecca's "story." *barf* It would be a more productive use of my time.

C'mon, Angie - I'll flip you for command of the Anu'udrian death ship. ;-p
